Random DIY mixing and More

[Skeebo]

I have 310 flavors. If they were all 10ml bottles (and they're not--a bunch are 30ml, a few are 15ml, and there are several duplicates), that would amount to more than three liters of flavoring, enough to make juice sufficient to last me more than fifteen years.

tl;dr: I shouldn't buy any more flavors.

In other news, @ceeceeisme's three-ingredient Butter Rum Custard tastes remarkably like my much more complicated Arroz con Leche.

Wow @Zazie your stock has increased! That reminds me, I didn't add the new flavors I got today to my flavor stash list, but I did put them away already. I am going to have to dig through the garbage for the packing list because I will not remember what I got today or where it is even... At least I remembered I got an order today, pretty incredible!

I would like to see this.

He’s dug under right now. I can’t feed them when the temperatures drop below 68* as they aren’t able to digest the food (cold blooded). Since he’s captive bred, he doesn’t understand that would possibly kill him, and would gobble it right down. Hard to watch him dance for his dinner when all I can give is fresh water

Nope. Nope, not going to do it. Not falling for this thread anymore.
I have seven 30ml bottles of flavoring still in their shipping wrappers (WTH is a "Mango", and why would I order Juicy Orange ?), and at least six more 30ml bottles that are unopened. On top of the fifteen 30ml bottles I already have, to go along with 70 10ml bottles, and of course, three 4 oz. bottles (DX Bavarian Cream, Vanilla Swirl and Creme de Menthe.

I will probably be dead before I figure out what all this stuff is for....

I’ll see your mango and juicy orange and raise you a 30ml bottle of sesame candy and pretzel dough. What the heck was I thinking?

Not much for Gremlin's sale this week:

I know it’s hard to believe but I’m going to pass on the sale this time.

I raise and call....
Zen Garden (one of my early purchases). This is Hic’s description...

“herbaceous basil/oregano/rosemary type herbal

Ethereal green notes. Complex and unusual. This herbal blend is primarily basil-oregano, but varying power and percentage can bring out different accents.
2-3% you’ll taste mostly basil and oregano, plus a little rosemary, perhaps sage and thyme. As you increase your power a sweet background note emerges.
By 5% rosemary is more noticeable, and spearmint emerges, especially with higher power. As you increase your percentage and power, spearmint gets even stronger. Non-vapers say the vapor trail smells like pizza.”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said that. I’ll be seeing you soon in the 400 flavor club. I swear I’m not going to hit 500.

Someone please put a gold star on my chart at the front of the classroom.... I got 6 repeats mixed today. Monday I will tackle 6 new recipes. At least I finally finally actually mixed something

You get 2 gold stars

Good work, you had a memory

You will have to turn the heat up and take pics

A few places carry JF.
Milk Chocolate (JF)
Milk Chocolate by Jungle Flavors

If it was something I had to buy, I would buy the MB Glamour Chocolate. People here love it!

I guess I kinda settled on that. BCF has Glamour. I see FLA has a Milk Chocolate too I didn't notice before. One of their more reasonably priced flavors.

Yep, with early onset Alzheimers it's not so easy sometimes. Hard part is keeping those spirits up.

The best we can do is all any of us can do. I hope it stays "early" for a very long time.

Keep hearing how the magic remedy is just around the corner. I know progress has been made. Maybe we see the quantum leap soon.

The overzealous beginning mixer lol.... this recipe on (fill in blank with the “other” sites) sounds INTERESTING. I know better-ish now lol

My oldest brother (68) is in the later stages and he still is hoping for a miracle.... We can only hope.
