What's in your beach cooler?

[Pebblszzz]

As a kid, my mom always made tuna sandwiches and deviled eggs to take to the beach. Now I can't seem to go to the beach for even an HOUR without both.

What do YOU take for beach-munchies?

(can ya tell I'm making a grocery list for my beach trip this week?)

Due to agressive seagull behaviour all snacking on the beach has been cancelled. Beverages are all that's in the cooler for us!

But that's my favorite part! I even save old bread to take for the 'gulls.

But I've learned that feeding them early in the day makes them a nuisance for the remainder of the day.

So we break out the stale stuff just before we leave, and have a blast feeding them.

that's why the gulls are so aggressive. they expect to be fed.

whne I was working at the beach (Fire Island) we called the gulls "rats with wings." you'd spend hours cleaning the beach -- picking up litter, putting it in cans. and before the guys with the trucks could empty the cans, the gulls would do the job, and you'd have to clean up the same trash.


then you'd have to clean it up again when the gulls attacked the dumpster.

but the worst "gull" expereince I had was in Ft. Myers, when a gull stole a burger out of my hand as I was preparing to feed it to my toddler.

Lorna Dune (sp?) cookies and Andy Capp Hot Fries! Growing up, the *only* time my parents would buy these was for a trip to the beach!

PB&J sandwiches are a must since I was a little girl. Other snack must-haves include popcorn, plums and nectarines. Oh, and chocolate chip cookies.

If I'm lazy to pack a cooler, I've been known to leave the beach to pick up a pizza!
