What have you bought recently?

Some people surely would not like the flavor,
but to me, it is mild, and even tasty after I got used to it.
One could use just 1 tablespoon, and mix it in with foods, and for many of us, it would not be a dominating flavor.

But I am sure, that it wouldn't agree with everyone. It's best to buy a small container, if it's the first time you get it, to try it for yourself. And try it on different foods that you like, and mixed with different things, to see how you'd like it.

I just buy flaxseeds, which are very inexpensive. Grind some every week-ish in a spice grinder and sprinkle a teaspoon or two on salads, stir fries, whatever. They've got a slightly nutty taste and texture.

I refrigerate the whole and ground seeds to keep them from spoiling.

Can't say it tastes good, but it's not so bad. I have found that some brands taste better than others.

I'm going to have to try some ground flaxseed.
 
Got a couple of peach coloured plant pots to hang on the fence from Aldi today...they look a lot more classy than you would think tbh...

How about a report on something I acquired that I not only didn't purchase but wouldn't have to begin with. What I bought into was the idea of assembling an appliance and then testing it for one of the kids, who is busy with her own business. Well, assemble it I did and tossed the box, which was a very stupid move because the thing only lasted 24 hours before crapping the bed. After much fiddling, I was ready to toss (i.e., have the kid return) the appliance but was convinced to try to make the thing work by getting it fixed. That resulted in endless phone calls and emails plus several trips to the service center. Eventually, the firm, which was now on my sh*t list, finally sent another one for me to assemble.

Yup, it's that expensive humidifier and air filter. Assembly was quick and easy the second time around and it has now been running for over a month., The device connects to your WiFi and can be controlled by a small remote control, and/or a smartphone app. You can check your air quality and humidity down stairs while sitting in the WC upstairs. It keeps a record.

When I was reasonably satisfied the unit would continue working, youngest child said she had gotten something else, didn't want it and told me to keep it. This was the most aggravating thing I never purchased. The company did stand behind it. They should have for what it costs. Is it worth it? IMHO only if you love gadgets, have the money and/or need careful monitoring and control over humidity and the quality of your air. Does it work as advertised? Yes, when it is working and this second unit is.

Jon. Could use your advice.

We have been wanting to get a tower fan for a while now, and through a selection process have whittled our choice down to a Dyson. We checked out many other tower fans (which is what we want), and none other than the Dyson have Hepa and Carbon Filters and Air Purification Technology.

The price is absurd, but what isn't nowadays. Anyhow, we have settled on the Dyson Pure Cool TP04 Model.

Your thoughts? Yes? No? Worth it? Not worth it?

If air filtration is something you need, then the Dyson is probably worth it. They're somewhat intelligent, quiet, comparatively unobtrusive and move/filter a good deal of air. They've also established service centers around the country. For being just a fan, it's overpriced.

Big thanks to you for weighing in on this for me, Jon.

I agree, the price is absurd, yet when compared to other similar versions, the Dyson looks so much better built, and none of the others have the option of Hepa filtration and air purification, not that we need those two things, but with windows and doors open over the course of summer, investing in a fan that pulls double duty seems like a pretty nifty feature.
