Question

I've got a thread going over in the Level III subforum, but these are questions everyone can answer.What are your go to snacks for when you're hard at the studying?And what are your go to tracks/albums/musicians for keeping the fire burning?Mine are these bad boyshttps://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/waitrose-roasted-and-salted-mixed-nuts-tub/580301-154593-154594full of fat, salt and calories, but so hard to stop eating.In my first attempt to pass Level II, I was also fortunate/unfortunate enough to be walking distance from a branch of these guys:https://www.benscookies.com/They are dangerously good. A box of 7 costs the same as 5. And they last up to 5 days in the box. I miss being anywhere near a branch now but my waist probably thanks me.I've also become a big fan of this:https://int.erdinger.de/beer/alkoholfrei.htmlIt's isotonic, tastes like a real wheat beer, is dirt cheap, and hits the spot - but crucially, doesn't make you suffer all the negative effects of real beer that would impede your study. So I've had quite a few of these in the past year.As for music, I am in gratitude to both Spotify and Soundcloud for helping me play to death the following artists, sorted by genre.Shingo Nakamura, Gorm Sorensen - both chillout and crucially, some of the only music I can listen to as I study without hindering my concentration.i_o, No Mana, Dosem, etc. - some thing dark, heavy, fast paced or bassy for those study breaks.There's a lot more but music being so personal in taste, maybe it helps to restrict my list to these few.

woohoo a nice, light, fun topic to chat about for once :)ben's cookies are amazzinggg but i don't allow myself near time (maybe to sniff only) as i can't stop after one cookie usually!my favourite snack is nachos actually, easy to make, adding greek yogurt (instead of sour cream), chopped coriander, salsa, guacamole, makes it relatively healthy and more-ish.for music, I actually can only listen to the music soundtracks compiled by 300Hours - they are pretty good! (https://www.300hours.com/study-music/)love shingo nakamura too!

You forgot the most important ingredient - CHEESE.I always burn my cheese when I try to make my own nachos though.
