OMG! All I'll say is take this recipe:
Mexican Brownies Recipe - Allrecipes.com
Go to the store and buy some Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa and Ceylon cinnamon (along with whatever else you need; you'll probably have to substitute cayenne for the pequin unless you live in the SW). Go home, make these brownies (if you want to scale them to a 9x13 pan, change the servings from 30 to 20). Put on a pot of coffee and your favorite dessert juice in your tank (or atty, or REO, or whatever). Then sit back and have a most satisfying experience.

Damn you Sedge! I do my best to stay away from Chocosphere, lol. Callebaut is my weakness. But I agree: valhrona is awesome as well. That said, I stand by my choice of grocery store cocoa powder.

Is this 100% cacao? They don't say on the website . We cut out as much sugar as possible and I like to mix whipping cream ( a couple tbsp) with cacao and some cayenne to put on top of cottage cheese or ricotta with an asian pear for dessert.

Hz, it says 100% cocoa in the description at the bottom of the page. That dessert sounds amazing. They also have a variety of sugar-free chocolates. Do a search on the site. This site is deadly: The last time I was there I spent like $100 on chocolate! It was amazing chocolate, but still....Now I'm looking at the fair-trade chocolates and figuring out what I can afford, lol.

Don't judge me, most of that was a gift box for Mom, lol. But still.....

I spent a really nice day really working hard testing TT 2.0 and let me tell you its a great gig if you can get it. I have been using it a ton since it came in and I wanted to see how it really stacked up against other fav's of mine. I ended up with I used 2 Hades 26550 mods in brass and copper and 2 bored out brass monkey RDA running Ready X wick mopped dual macro Clapton coils at .38 ohms. Its a setup I have been enjoying lately.

I have been using a giant 1/2 inch bore pyrex ss Tip as my daily dripper and going to a GITD Trippy at night and I chose those to test against. I expected the bigger tube would allow for a much bigger vape and that the huge TT 2.0 would have a hard time keeping up with my old fav. Let me tell you I was shocked that instead the TT 2.0 blew away the wider tip in both cloud size as well as taste and controlling the heat on a hot setup. On further examination I figured out that it was due to better design. I tried to show it as best I could in an over head photo.

imghttp://i1351.photobucket.com/albums...64-4bc6-97f5-6fdcd7dd110f_zpsecb1bd40.jpg/img

The bore of the TT 2.0 was just huge where it joined with the with the top cap on checking it turned out although it was the middle of the road bore wise it was by far the largest at the base. This has made it my new fav for days. The fit and finish was really lovely and after a few days hard use it cleaned up back to perfect. I have been a fan for a long time but these new tips are just fantastic. Now if I can just get one on GITD for night use it would be great. I would also try thinning the outer wall a bit towards the middle top to form a little more flair for the mouth. All in all super work. I can not wait to see whats next.

Reid..another one for ya

And my new favorite passion

[Reidus]

I'll have to try the cocoa. It looks interesting. As far as the smoked salmon goes, I really like it as well. I had a friend in ATL who used to smoke his own salmon and it was outstanding. Have you ever tried gravlax? It's surprisingly easy to make.

 

[sedge]

Black cocoa is used as a substitute for part of regular cocoa in recipes to add a darker richer layer. It's not something you use 100%.

I've made gravlox for years. The loch fin smoked salmon is considered the best in the world. I find it to be a sublime.

Good morning! I am practicing waking up early to get ready for my switch to day shift Today Beata, Freddy, and I are going mushroom hunting with our friend Annalee. We are going to try to find the elusive Black Morel which grows throughout the year at varying elevations here in Colorado.

Hz, sedge, and Reid, the cacao treats sound fantastic!

JJ, thank you for the glowing review! May I translate it to instagram and share it with our followers there?

Wish us luck on the search for black gold today!

 

[Reidus]

Good morning, Bert. Good luck on your hunt. I haven't hunted mushrooms since high school. Though we were looking for a different type of shroom.

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Have fun on the mushroom hunt today!

Gonna have to fo back and read more on the Cacao

 

[Reidus]

I know what you mean, Hz. I'm looking at this:
https://www.chocosphere.com/default/brand/t-z/taza/chocolate-mexicano-8-variety-disc-sampler.html

They're organic and kosher. The company is free-trade and practices sustainable practices. What's not to love?

Sedge should never have reminded me of this site, lol.

 

[pmoraldo]

Good morning Trippy Nation. Good luck Bert

I've been using the angled muffler tips for a while for testing purposes, and today switched it up to a Trippier V2 and holy moly it's love all over again! So comfortable and awesome to have some color back in my life!

Don't get me wrong there's always going to be some love for the straight/clear tips, but I didn't realize how much I missed having the shapes/colors!

love the look, now if it could just glow in the dark hehe. Please feel free to use my reviews anywhere you feel like. I am really happy to participate in progressing the cause any way I can. Go TT 2.0 http://i1351.photobucket.com/albums...5-267a-45e3-b0ed-176657896648_zps26977343.jpg

Well I finally got my KFL up and running. It's still not hitting like I'd hope it would. What I think I'll do is go back to a silica wick until I get used to how it works and work my way up to dealing with the cotton.

Never mind. I adjusted the airflow and it's hitting like a champ!

 

[Reidus]

What's up with Vaporleaf? Whatever age verification program they use is crap. It says they have no record of me living here. I've been in this damn address for 11 years! I'm a registered voter! I'm on the property tax rolls! All 3 credit services have me at this address!

 

[sedge]

Reid. They found you out as a 15 year old purporting to be an adult.

 

[Reidus]

LOL. So I bought my house when I was 4? And employed by UNO at 1? I must be an amazing prodigy. Seriously, they need a better way of verifying age than whatever they're using.
Hopefully Bert will be having a sale soon.
