The "I just bought..." thread.

[Kaido]

Please keep this going until Thursday (my girlfriend bought me a mach-E shirt which is arriving then and I can take the picture)

STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!

$72 straight from Amazon US.

Pretty nice for a brand I've never heard of before.

Probably something killer where the keyboard was made (China)

Humble Comics Bundle: Star Trek Comics Megabundle

Pay what you want for a gigantic library of Star Trek comics from IDW comics and help support The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund with your purchase!

We'll see. I'm not a big fan of comics, but I want some more Trek, and it isn't a huge amount of money to lose if I'm not happy with it.

Bought me an apple slicer similar to this for the office. Had me some peanut butter and apple slices for breakfast.

Does it work well? I usually eat apples in the expected way, but sometimes neat slices would be nice if the cutter isn't a pita to use.

Generally it works pretty well. It slices the apples, but unless the apple is perfectly shaped (which is never) you're still going to have to mess with the seeds and the core a bit. But it's easier to have the slices to dip in the pb!

I don't eat Apples anymore. That old adage of an Apple keeping the doctor away is crap, at least in my experience. Didn't save me from Type 2 Diabetes and the ensuing struggle to be rid of it. I'm not that great a fan of mangos either though I will drink mango juice or mango milkshake once in a while. I usually much rather prefer grapefruit, orange, lime or pineapple juice. And if I do feel like eating a mango, I will eat it with its skin as it has benefits.

I feel like a diabetes thread would be great. Something where everyone shares their meals and recipes, progress etc. I know there's forums out there for that stuff, but I don't really want to join another forum. I'm diabetic and have a hard time with breakfast meals. I can go carb-less for lunch and dinner, but breakfast is tough.

Not sure what you like, but my menu A breakfast is two mystery meat extruded sausage links, and one or two vegetarian sausage patties. I nuke them for 3 minutes while I do other stuff to get ready for work. I'm not diabetic, but that's diabetic friendly.
