Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Until Thursday night! This trip has turned into a mess, my poor husband had one day with him, and had to drive back since the roofers decided to CHANGE their dates (but you have to answer, "Yes, and may I please lick your boots before you climb up there?" I hope they are fast.

The husband texted me he had a tire blowout on the highway. Thankfully, such events are pretty minor for the types of things the husband has handled, driving wise. I would probably be dead.

I hope he gets back here soon.

We'll have to do this again some other time. The kid is asleep (he got up a 2.30 am to drive) so I'm letting him sleep.

Me and the kid love hanging out on our own though. I prayed to God to have a kid I could love and understand and enjoy and God came thorough BIG TIME. To be fair, I did my part, but we get along very well. Mainly because I find him endlessly entertaining and well, I was sort of a doting mommy from day one.

He's a lot nicer than many humans I've encountered. I got super lucky.

Happy for you Enjoy the visit

Well, I did buy the FLV avocado for a recipe I was planning to mix so I will go ahead and mix that one for starters. Not so sure about the others I was planning on mixing. I guess I'll just wait and see on that tomorrow.

I am vaping a recipe for PB Granola Bar posted by @NolaMel Not sure if I changed this any but it's pretty tasty. Bout time

It turned out to be an adv for me... honestly, your Cereal Bar was the inspiration! May be my one and only winner, who knows, but I’m glad someone besides me finds it yummy!

I’ll have to dig and see if I can find that one. I’m sure I must have done a screenshot of it.

Speaking of FLAVOR, I was wrong to allow the child to convince me to eat at the Chinese Restaurant in Douglas.

It. Was. Horrifying. We both used the bathroom almost immediately thereafter. He kept insisting it was good, and I had to placate him on being wrong like "Um, kid, if it makes you feel any better well, I'm older than you so I have been wrong a lot MORE than you. But, we are never eating here again and if the woman who feels she is "losing business to Mexico" were not so pathetic, I might demand my money back and like, perhaps a copay for medical care if needed.

It was pretty.... The store belonged in Mexico IMHO.

Oh well, here' s hoping whatever it is is mild.

How do other mixers feel, think or never thought about recipes with so many flavors?

I'm exactly the same as you - 3, 4 or 5 flavours is usually more than enough. Some mixes may need more due to layering the main taste - a fruit, or caramel etc, but generally I prefer creating mixes with 5 and under flavours

PB Granola Bar
FLR Granola .75%
TFA Marshmallow 2% (I used .5%)
Cap Peanut Butter 3%
TFA DX Peanut Butter 4%
FLR Raisin Rum 1%

Good morning, random folks. I am up way too early but after trying to get back to sleep for an hour I gave up on it. Maybe I can get a nap in later but I'm going to try not too. I need to mix this avocado recipe and find another 3-4 to mix maybe but not til after much coffee.

 

[hittman]

I don’t have the raisin rum. I wonder how it is without.

I'd kinda suggest putting the Raisin Rum on your wishlist.

 

[FranC]

I did manage to get a couple of hour nap in. Much better than nothing. After I choke down another coffee I'll get this recipe mixed.

 

[hittman]

Is the raisin rum very boozy? So far I haven't been a fan of booze flavors.

No it isn't

I can't believe it that I placed a bcf order on Saturday and it not only shipped the same day but is scheduled for delivery today.

Well the kid, husband and I are still alive.

The kid washed all my dishes for me before 8 p.m. I SWEAR to god, I am KEEPING him.

LOL I might have a shot. He was like, "Is it just me or are ALL the women in the town this hot?"

LOL I explained that Douglas has a lot of cross border marriage, and it results in the kind of genetic manipulation that will provide you a slightly Latina looking woman that doesn't suddenly look like the Witch in Snow White once she hits 30.

Sorry about the racism, I'm just trying to keep my kid (and it is actually kind of true and there ARE a lot of hot women in Douglas) now I just need to find out the bar they hang out in, and drop him off there.....

I really want to keep him I MADE HIM.

While I will not be eating that Chinese ever again (and OMG definitely not the leftovers) we seem to be fine.

We were going to go to Bisbee this afternoon but like, the landlord is ruining my life by sending evil plumbers back. I am so NOT happy about this because they ALSO stole my giant vat of bar mops (like 500 of them) and it take a LOT of time and effort to amass so many. I have loved bar mops since my waitressing days.

Oh we are going to pizza place but they are NOT coming in here again without me following them around every step. This may mean the witnessing of PLUBMER'S ...., and believe me with this lot, it's going to SUCK so hard. Guess we will see how the day turns out.

Fingers Crossed for the kid. He says "It wouldn't be the end of the world if I accidentally got someone pregnant but I'm not sure kids are for me."

This means he will want them at some point, so I don't' have to find his condom stash and put pinholes in them... yet, anyway.

I apologize for this post it is 99% kidding... .EXCEPT the part about keeping him. LOL.

I added the raisin rum to my list. I've got two other flv flavors on there that I'm going to wait for a sale to order. Those are expensive and add up quick.

The last time I had Chinese food, I got food poisoning and was sick for two days. I haven't had it since. It was take out from a place we've used many times. I guess it was just a bad batch of something in what I ordered since my wife was fine.

 

[stols001]

Yeah, it happens. My kid's favorite ever Thai place in Tucson was famous for their food poisoning. It was GOOD food, but even after they remodeled, it was good to plan your visit so like, you never had to enter the PATRON restroom.

The remainder of my family (including my extended family) swore off. I have a cast iron stomach so I would take him.

But this... Ugh, it was so awful that food poisoning on TOP of it would not be palatable.

It was really scary in there. I asked the woman how long she had been there and she said 29 years .I don't think the décor or the carpet was washed or cleaned ONCE.

It's the kind of place you drive by, shudder, and say, "I will never stop." But the kid said there were two so I figured it HAD to be the other one, and like, I agreed. Because it had good ratings.

I always get mine wicked fast when no sale is going.

I got my one mix done. The others I was intending to mix don't look that great overall. I may go ahead and mix the wheat one just for giggles. I'd be shocked if it's any good.I'd like to find a couple more to mix so it's back to the drawing board.
