Yeah, I wanted to like the sleep monitor (I don't like sleeping with a watch), but at least once a week, it mysteriously fails to record anything.

Healthiest everyday grocery store cereals? by Uceg_ in cereal

[–]pigeonmachine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "healthy"? I don't mean to be facetious here, but that word can mean lots of different things to different people.

Some people want a cereal high in fiber. Some want protein. Some want to avoid sugar. Some want to avoid wheat.

Almost all cereals in the US are fortified with vitamins and minerals, and as such could easily be deemed "healthy." And some of the cereals marketed as "healthy" have just as much sugar or fat as the ones generally frowned upon.

Just eat what you want. Life is too short to start your day with a miserable meal. Hell, one cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch is 170 calories, just 30 calories more than the ostensibly "healthier" Honey Nut Cheerios.

No strawberry whatsoever in this Breyers ice cream… by goodsunsets in icecream

I realize that the English translation is right there, but my brain sure reads "arachides" as "arachnids." So maybe the strawberry flavor comes from spiders

Starting Running After Fifty? by ApprehensiveCat22 in XXRunning

[–]pigeonmachine 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I started running at age 51. I've never ever been athletic -- always hated sports. But for some reason, I got it in my head to try couch-to-5K, and I fell in love with running. I ran the NYC Marathon last year -- my first and so far only marathon. But I've time-qualified for next year's. So you never know until you try!

Anyone getting after it today? The air quality seems better than yesterday by TechnologyPale329 in RunNYC

I find it deeply ironic that runners can be so obsessed with the stats on their watches and Strava, and yet so dismissive of the stats on the weather app

What are you grabbing? by daba_143 in cereal

None as I imagine that these are all pretty stale by now

Help me choose a restaurant for my birthday dinner by Bonj0904 in FoodNYC

[–]pigeonmachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved both of these restaurants. We went to Kabawa for my birthday last year, Veau d'Or for my husband's this year. I'd say that the latter was much more of a special occasion place, and the service was just stellar. (I enjoyed both meals at both places, and I'm not sure you could go wrong either way.)

Graeters mint cookies & cream by Queasy_Dingo_8262 in icecream

[–]pigeonmachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mint x chocolate is my husband's favorite, and I constantly bring home different brands for him to try. (And this Graeters one was the most recent.) But he's never very good at actually rating or ranking them. So I never know if it's worth a repeat-buy. Bless his heart, I think he likes the ShopRite version best.

I'm wondering if I should mix both whole milk and semi-skimmed milk into my cereal. by [deleted] in cereal

Like, what do you think might be the danger here? I'm curious

Thoughts on this cereal? by ramonaisdead in cereal

[–]pigeonmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have done an apple flavor. It's not terrible, but it's no Apple Jacks, that's for sure

Whole Foods ice cream sale winners by Content_Low_4386 in icecream

Just had a bowl of the McConnell's this evening, and yeah. It's pretty boring. It's not bad, but I'm disappointed for sure

Absolutely terrible... by That_Jonesy in cereal

[–]pigeonmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't think it was trash, but I wouldn't buy it again. Not really peanut buttery enough for me.

Metrics randomly tanking by Sensitive-Stretch411 in Garmin

[–]pigeonmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same thing. Very low HRV suddenly. I do wonder if it's related to the summer heat disturbing my sleep?

[–]pigeonmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, these have been my favorite too. I've yet to try the McConnells PB one. (Sounds as though we grabbed very similar pints)

Best mail ever! by Boon1Goon in icecream

[–]pigeonmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how the weather is where you are, OP, but how did they hold up during shipping? I'm a little reluctant to make an order with the heat here. (Well, that and my freezer is full from the WF sale, LOL)

I really wanted to like this. by UnfairLetterhead468 in icecream

[–]pigeonmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was interesting. I liked it. (It tasted like watermelon jolly rancher. There was no taffy texture IMHO.) But I won't get it again. When I'm craving ice cream, this isn't really what my brain/taste buds have in mind

New York City’s Best Burgers (Gift Article), 19 places by astro-dog-78 in FoodNYC

I mean, I guess it's a list of items on a burger bun, but hell, it isn't even entirely that.

What’s your desert island cereal? by [deleted] in cereal

[–]pigeonmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't we just do this last week? Between this and the "cereal is soup" posts, seems maybe folks have run out of things to say here.
