Coffee pods & t-shirts
Coffee pods for those Keurig machines. Lots of waste there. Normally I use the re-usable cups & grind my own coffee, so that's just coffee grounds for waste. However, I ran out of coffee, and as I order mine from Eureka Springs, I needed a stop-gap. At Kroger last night, I found their Simple Truth organic brand came in a bag, & I wondered how that worked for pods. Poking at the bag, I realized they were squishy & small, but STILL said "For use in brewers that use K-cups". Out of curiosity (and need for coffee) I got them. Here they are!
On the left is a K-cup from Green Mountain (I drink decaf, but rarely, so I usually keep a few of these on hand). On the right is the Kroger Simple Truth pod. The coffee container is a small, tough mesh. If you were inclined to reduce waste, you could take the coffee grounds out of it, collapsing it down to something about the side of an average peel-off lid. I thought that was a neat idea to reduce waste.
Now for some fashion! :D Bryan & I really like shirts from the geeky, one-shirt-a-day places. He does mens' 2X, and I usually do men's XL, unless we're ordering from TeeFury, where I can do a women's 3X (I'm a size 16 with thick biceps & a belly). We did TeeFury's grab bag this time, and also there's one in here from Shirt!woot, which I got because the combo of emerald green & biology nerdery was too much for me.
Batminton: what you get when Batman plays badminton, I suppose. :)
Starscream from Transformers. Bryan actually wanted this one when it originally debuted, but we waited too long. So it was pretty cool he got it.
This is the shirt!woot one I got. My favorite green, plus biology nerdery. :D If I ever get sepsis, I hope this is what grows out in my cultures. Then I wouldn't have to have antibiotics; I could just have a civilized conversation with my critter about finding a different place to live.
Forbidden books can be fun! TeeFury, for me.
Whovi-Os! TeeFury, for me.
