I found the right thread
A big Thank you for letting me mess with you and putting up with me. Even though I messed with myself harder I think.
Happy Holidays!

I see 2 lemonades and 1 caramel...

Yes but at first I had accidentally tried getting three Lemonades and it came up with a big thing saying I had exceeded my limit on the Lemonade. I felt really bad and thought you might think I was trying to pull a fast one. So I just wanted you to know it was a mistake.

Not a problem

It's not very raspberry-ish, don't worry. I did it the first time because I once got Apricot Cheesecake from somewhere else (before there was a deejstuff) and it was sooooo sweet. Apricots are a fairly lush fruit to begin with and this was bordering on apricot jam spread on cheesecake. I added some raspberry juice I had and, somehow, it cut the sweetness and the two flavors work together.

So, when I decided to try deej's Apricot Cheesecake, before I learned that none of his fruit flavors taste like they were made by Smuckers, I asked him to throw in some raspberry. It was delicious so I repeated it. To me, it doesn't taste like either apricot or raspberry, it tastes like Italian cheesecake, with toasted ricotta instead of cream cheese (eta: and a hint of fruitiness.)

oh goody! I remember your description of the flavor that tasted like italian cheesecake- but didn't remember that it was the ARC. I'm very excited now!

Ah now see... this is where we diverge. When it comes to stand alone fruit flavors, I agree wholeheartedly. You should taste nothing but the fruit itself, or perhaps with some minor enhancement to bring out each fruit's characteristics or personality.

But for the toppings or fillings of baked goods, they're always full of sugar, cinnamon, honey, clove, and all sorts of other goodness in real life. So for the sake of realism should also be when attempting to imitate it in another form. Many fruits are just too tart / bitter / acidic in their natural form and clash, overpower, or just negate the otherwise sweetness or creamyness of the baked good.

I agree that toppings & fillings can handle being sweeter than stand-alone fruits, but I don't like it when the recipe seemed to be cupa cupa cupa

Of course, as Deej will tell you, I have weird taste buds. Hope you agree with my assessment.

 

[CES]

i think I've had some of that recipe........um, errrr....really, really sweet.


I may have weird tastebuds too Poeia, so it should work out perfectly

 

[Poeia]

Loved "I serve it over ice cream to cut the sweetness." With that recipe, you could probably serve it over maple syrup to make it less sweet.

 

[Poeia]

Any opinions on Hypnotic Mist? Does it taste like pineapple, coconut, spearmint, grapefruit, broccoli, etc.? (ETA: hazelnut… ptuey)

Thinking about adding a bottle of pre-mixed to my cart.

Also, should I try a 10ml pre-mixed Sweet Gingerbread or jump right in with a Fire Kitty 30ml bottle?

That guy scares me.

Never heard of that recipe before, but it sort of reminds me of a "tubba canna canna" recipe I make some times. Though I never actually had a name for it.

Tubba country crock pre-made mac & cheese sauce, canna peas drained, canna tuna drained (2nd canna tuna optional if you really like it tuna-ey). Mix it all together and bake covered for like an hour @ 325. Though the baking part is optional since everything is pre-cooked to begin with. It just brings all the flavors together. Salt, pepper, etc to taste.

You can also substitute a chopped up ham steak or even sliced up hot dogs (both are fully pre-cooked as well) for the tuna.

Clearly not gourmet by any stretch. But if you want a quick no mess no work casserole-ish dish that's tasty and satisfying, there you go.

 

[Poeia]

Yeah, he was creepy but it was the only video I could find with Dolly giving the recipe.

The original recipe for pound cake was a pound of sugar, a pound of flour, a pound of butter.

 

[TravTech]

I've heard that before about pouind cake but would find it hard to follow that recipe and expect it to taste real good without some sort of tweaking or add-ins. I'm definitely a tweaker when I'm doing the cooking.

 

[TravTech]

Oh on the Sweet Gingerbread, go for 30 or you'll be back.

 

[Poeia]

I did. Only went for 10ml of the Hypnotic Myst because I've never really wanted to try it but, for $3…

 

[TravTech]

I went 30 on 5 "staples", and 15 on nannerbutter, 10 on RY4 as trials. Come the Mayan apcalypse, I should be good for a bit now. Hopefully we'll be able to slip in a few orders between that one and the zombie / nuclear ones.

 

[dolphins35]

Thanks Poeia, I had to pm her for my questions as peeps were getting too chit chatty and she closed the thread.. LOL. I am sure it is confusing for her to keep up.
I will see if she responds before going any further.

 

[dolphins35]

Not a problem

Digimon2k, I think you will get a kick out of this. The person I emailed about the juices responded. They have no clue who I am either. I am just shaking my head again. I had to go through it all over again, Geez. Thanks for putting up with this crazy dolphin

 

[Spud006]

actually... I hadn't seen that before... caramel, toffee and milk chocolate... hmmm...

I didn't even think about them all together that does sound interesting... If you do get around to making something like this you could call it Mishigosh.

I ended up ordering a 30 of Tiramisu and ARC and a 15 of CCC, Nannerbutter, and Sweet Gingerbread. I haven't tried any of these but I have a feeling that I will be hooked on a few, if not all the flavors. It may hurt my wallet but who needs paper money when the apocalypse comes. I'll just use my eliquid as trade funds, or maybe hoard it all for myself.

I'm vaping some more of the Strawberry Cheesecake right now and I must say that it goes very well with this Darjeeling tea that I'm drinking tonight. They almost compliment each other.

 

[Racehorse]

Never mind.

If you like the strawberrry CC you'll prolly love the ARC. The Tiramisu, CCC, and Sweet Gingerbread are all pretty awesome in their own ways. As far as the Nannerbutter goes, we can both be NB virgins together when it arrives and share our experiences.

Awesome sounds like I made good choices and sizes for those choices then.

Yeah we will be Nannerbutter buddys.
