    I ate early last night so I woke up actually wanting breakfast.  I just had an avocado toast sandwich with Beyond Sausage, on Dave’s whole grain 21 seed bread.  I will probably end up blowing dudes behind the electric car charger at Whole Foods after this.

     

    Neither Dave's nor Beyond are totally perfect whole foods, but both are really good.  This is a treat that I call 80% healthy, again on the pork rind scale where those are 0%.

     

    Another occasional breakfast I forgot about is this, which is damn good:

    My wife eats those too, I have yet to try them.

  2. In Mexico the cartels call them "Green Gold", and have been biting into the billion dollar industry.

    This is the LA Times article I read a couple years ago, which detailed how prolific the problem is for growers.

    Another option is overnight oats where you just let them sit in the liquid.  I haven't done it, lots of people love this method.

     

    Good to know.

     

    Not sure if we even own a pressure cooker. I am not much of a cook or chef at all. I can barely boil or burn water, but can burn meat on the grill.  I thought pressure cookers were just for bombing places in Boston? 😀

     

    The overnight oats sounds more my speed. Thanks I will look into it.

    I'll be eating oats and groats with some dried fruit and a small amount of honey in about an hour, when the pressure cooker is done.

    Sometimes a bowl of granola with dried blueberries and oat milk.

     

    I might get back on my quest for the perfect breakfast oatmeal cookie.  Oats, banana for sweetener, nuts and/or nut butter, maybe dried blueberries. 

     

     

    Couple questions for you fellas. I purchased steel cut oats and oat milk.  Curious how you prepare your steel cut oats or oats?  First try used 1/4 cup of oat and 1/2 cup of water in the microwave. I added a little oat milk after letting them set for 2 minutes, and I topped them with fresh blueberries.  Next try I attempted to use 1/4 cup of dry oats and a 1/2 cup of oat milk.

     

    How do you cook your oats?

     

    Thanks!

    Those were my 3rd set. They absolutely fit underneath the helmet. You have to compress the grey pads and shove them in your ear and they expand. 

     

    Great, thanks! I was trying them with the little "ribbed dildo" looking pads. You know like an anal toy to stretch the sphincter. LOL

    Just eat a fiber cookie every morning and be done with it. Don’t complicate that.

     

    Got a link to fiber cookies you like? In my 20s and 30s I used to head off to work with just coffee, usually skipping breakfast all together. Now, I take my meds in the morning and they advise not to take on an empty stomach.

    I keep thinking you and I might be related.

     

    Well, in fairness we probably are. Ancestors from the Caribbean...

     

    Christopher Columbus arrived in Puerto Rico in 1493 during his second voyage to the New World, After first landing on an island then called Guanahani, Bahamas, on 12 October 1492, Christopher Columbus commanded his three ships: La Pinta, La Niña and the Santa María, discovering Cuba on 27 October 1492, and landing in the northeastern coast on 28 October.

    Good call outs here, thanks keep em coming. 
     

    Never heard of double ratcheting ones, the open end ratchets too on these …

     

    Home Depot double ratcheting


    I have a number of ratcheting wrenches and they have a place and serve a purpose, but I’ve often found clearance issues as the shoulder on the boxed, ratcheting end is too thick or large and will not fit in the tight locations a traditional wrench will fit. When access is open they are great. I’ve also tried to not put extreme torque on them as they don’t seem as robustly built internally. I’ve had a few skip teeth over the years. 

  9. I've used Sears Craftsmen wrenches for years. But that was likely before they started getting farmed out to China for manufacturing. I do like to keep my wrenches in an organizer because I grew up with a father who just threw them in a box or drawer and would tell me, "Timmy get me a 3/8" wrench!"  I remember frantically looking for disorganized wrenches, and him yelling at me to hurry up.

     

    All of my wrench and sockets are stowed on sticks or in holders. I also have a massive amount of hand tools, like 2 or 3 of everything.

     

    I have some Snap On stuff, but since I don't use my tools to earn money, the ROI isn't there for me. I've heard the Home Depot Husky brand tools are good and they supposedly warranty them like Sears used to.
