Snacks-to-Go, Vol. 2: Roasted Chickpeas

If I had to guess, I would say right now, I am probably laying on the beach, basking in the sun, with a margarita in one hand, snacking on some of the roasted chickpeas I brought along. 

Don't you wish you were those chickpeas and I had brought you along?

If I could be at two places at once, I would be with my Ponkies tailgating the day away.  I will drown my sorrows of not being there in another pina colada. :)
