Def Leppard: The Definitive Visual History

Def Leppard: The Definitive Visual History
This is a big beautiful hardcover book that includes photos from the bands beginning right through to the present. It's exceptionally well priced, with color and black & white photos, band commentary, and a forward from Joe Elliott. What impresses me most is that you get a *lot* for the price, especially if you compare this book to the Sparkle Lounge photo books (available on the bands website/store). Ross Halfin has been photographing the band for years and he takes some great shots. The die-hards will recognize a lot these photos, but for me, it's great to have them all in one, well put together collection.

This is a great visual history of a great band.

Thinkfruit Peach Slices

Thinkfruit Peach Slices
I think they over emphasize "health" in the description of these peach slices. They are soft, chewy, very sweet, and tasted a little 'date' like to me. They were tasty, but much too sweet to be considered healthy. I like that they're packaged for single servings and last a while; their expiration date is months away from the purchase date. (I bought a 10-pk from amazon) You can easily take them with you for an anytime snack.

These Think Fruit Peach Slices are probably better for you than snacking on your average candy bar but grab a fresh peach more often than a packet of these if you can.

Thinkfruit Peach SlicesI've also tried the ThinkFruit Cranberry. These are pretty good. Most are chewy and moist and although the label says they have around 33g (!!) grams of sugar, they don't taste cloyingly sweet (like the other well known dried cranberry snack, those are much less sugar yet taste so much sweeter somehow). Of the ones that are not moist and juicy (most are), those are a little drier and chewier. The only ingredients here are cranberries, and sugar. Can't beat that. I don't think these look all that appetizing, but they do look like actual whole cranberries and if this is what whole dried cranberries look like, I'll take it.
