    Me too. So in about ten days it should be here.
    Can't say I'm in any big hurry but I did order one flavor for a recipe and also interested on doing a sft of the Molinberry JD Whiskey.

    Somewhere between here and there
    What's the draw to Chef's Flavours? Is it the price, availability of certain flavors, or something else? I don't know if I could cope with a 10 day wait lol, even if I didn't need it immediately.

    It started out for me as needing flavors that aren't available in the US. They have a huge selection of one shots too that are nice for when you don't feel like mixing much.

    Those one shots has me very intrigued. I'm still a low level noob DIY mixer, so whatever is available at BCF is good enough for me... for now.. :D

    I like how they give you the suggested mixing % on each one shot.

    It’s great that Chefs Flavours has flavors we can’t get here plus they do have a lot of the different vendors & one shots all in one place & the shipping for me (I’m in NJ) is about 7 days & the shipping price has been very reasonable.

    Of course when possible I like to order from BCF.

    I agree. BCF is my go to place for flavors but if they don't/can't carry something I need then I'll go to chefs. The one shots I have tried(just 2) have been pretty good and I have two new ones on the way. I've built another wishlist on bcf so I wonder if they'll do a 4th sale?

    I think they always do but don’t usually announce it until the last moment.

    I've found a few one shots to be ok, but IMHO most are too sweet.
    Glad I'm not alone. I tried 3 of them which all are super sweet to me.I decided to try just one more in the order I just made.If that doesn't turn out any better then I'm done with the one shots.

    When did they sneak in Cap Hibiscus for the Gallagher’s Ice Pop recipe. I swear cuz I printed it out before I went to the hospital. And when I heard @NotSoMini posting about the Cap Hibiscus I thought it was a sub. But it’s not cuz I followed Notsomini’s link & sure enough Cap Hibiscus is in the recipe.

    Oh poo! Big poo cuz I ordered what I thought I needed for the recipe & now I don’t have the Hibiscus.

    You could try mixing it without the hibiscus until you get it.

    Not DIY however I was at Trader Joe’s earlier this week and they were giving a sample of their Ricotta & Lemon Zest Ravioli. Of course I had to try it — delicious. There was no sauce on it however tossed in a simple olive oil and garlic sauce sounds good to me so as not to take away from the lemon zest taste.

    My juice stash is pathetic and I am having a difficult time determine what to mix.

    One of my friends makes it with the tfa pist at 8% and I like that one also. I do double the flv tobacco % because they tend to fade way down after a few weeks.

    I did mix Fear's Cardinal recipe as it and just added WF Roasted Pecans & Cream. It is currently steeping and of course I am anxious to try it. If I do not like it with the RP&C then I will fall back to TFA Pistachio.

    I have another recipe that I am going to try that uses 8% TFA Pistachio with DFS Holy Vanilla, FLV Milk & Honey plus RY4 (I use FA instead of TFA).

    I'm debating how much I need the Hibiscus. I have Jasmine and Honeysuckle now which I haven't used since I first got them.

    Did you try mixing at a lower than recommended percentage? I bought Custard Cream & the Mixing % recommendation was 18-21.5% & I mixed at 16.75%.

    Just a note for y'all.. seriously consider a VPN. I personally do a lot of online shopping, and narrowly escaped a fraudulent purchase with my card.. luckily my credit union was on top of it and shut it down. As soon as I got home I went for it and got a VPN as an extra layer of security.

    What’s a VPN?
