Peanut butter and scones are not my friends.

Went to bed early last night and got caught up on sleep in spite of waking up at 0100 ravenously hungry. It was still pretty hot in the apartment, so I had a peanut butter sandwich and went back to bed. Woke up with a blood sugar reading in the 200+ range. As for the sconage, I had gotten into the habit of noshing on a krispy bar with my large iced coffee in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the Dunn Brothers in 6 Quebec has taken to mixing M&M's into their rice krispies of late, so yesterday I went with what looked like a plain cinnamon scone. Apparently it was loaded with sugar, since the dinnertime glucose reading was also in the red. Damn.

Today I have an interview with Accountemps over lunch. I thought about wearing a tie, but since I'm nobody's idea of a GQ model (my shirt & pants don't even match today) it would have been a pointless gesture. Maybe even stupid, considering that the footgear of the day, as usual, is black Wal-Mart sneakers with Velcro strap closures. ::shrug:: It's not like they're hiring me for my fashion sense.

I just watched an episode of Ghost in the Shell. It had a beer bottle just like your icon. Is that where you got it from?

No, it was a little more work than that. ~_^ phoenixalpha took a pic of the actual Suntory Dark Black Boss Coffee can and edited the pic to add the Road Drug slogan from Jesse Miller's (http://www.jivagoswamidasa.com/aaa.htm) "Catalyst Run".

Just FYI, having baked them, a standard scone recipe has sugar in it; I'm sure any commercially baked scone has all kinds of sucrose and corn-fructose and other lovely things.

I *think*, and I could be wrong, the only coffee house food really safe, as far as sugar content goes, is a savory bagel (i.e. plain or poppy seed or onion).

Our coffeeshop (by which I mean the coffeeshop at work) also sells bags of nuts, which are a fabulous food to eat when having the munchies, because they are filling, proteiny, nutrient-rich, and have the good cholesterol in them. Cashews might have natural sugars, but I think most other nuts don't.

Unfortunately nuts taste like crap when eaten with coffee - or maybe that's just the sweeteners that do those horrible things to the taste of perfectly good peanut butter.

OTOH, if I had a more interesting job (or one with a less fascist attitude about Internet use) I probably wouldn't need that large iced coffee long about 3 PM.
