    My fruit recipe is 4% Mango and 4% Papaya. Both TFA. For a long time I did 3% of each and 3% juicy peach but dropped the juicy peach one time when I ran out of it and liked it better without. Also 2% sweet cream and 2% vanilla. It took me a long time to get a fruit mix I enjoyed but this one does it for me. And 1% Smooth. Not sure if that makes a difference but I do it because someone suggested it.

    Right now I'm trying out some new flavors. Orange Cream and Kiwi. What's the rule for steeping single flavor mixes? Seems like it wouldn't be necessary, but I guess nobody really knows how steeping works anyway.
    Mango and papaya could be interesting.

    A single fruit is pretty much shake and vape. Creams are not.

    I really like kiwi and need to order some (all I have is a pre-made juice) FA is very well regarded.

    Just tried out my TFA kiwi double, 8% single flavor. Quite tasty. Seems very sweet, which is OK because I like it that way.

    That's good to know. Trouble is I like sweet cream and vanilla in everything and both of those need a good steep.
    I would recommend you give those at least 3 weeks. Cheesecakes,custards and such get a month

    IMO, it depends. When I use creams and vanilla as accents in recipes, I consider them S&V and usually give them three days. For me, adding 2% cream (any kind) and 1% vanilla doesn't necessarily require a long steep for the mix to be good. In some cases, depending on the dominant flavors in the recipe, a steep can be detrimental since some flavors fade. Again, JMHO.

    @FranC , God bless you, your family, and especially your new great grand baby (I don't usually say that... I'm more of a general spiritual guy, but in this case I wanted to go all out and send positive vibes your way) :wub:
    Thank you for that:wub:

    I'm sorry @FranC I mean my hair. I was responding to someone probably 50 pages back I have been busy

    Oh man thank God for my sis. I do no know what I would do without her. This house is heading downward FAST..

    We can only get people who like offer you contracts that say "you pay for all our assessments but like we guarantee NOTHING other than we take 15 percent off the top I MEAN what if we et offered 10% more by SF and then we LOSE money. I don't think that route will work.

    There is also this whole challenging//umpire route which is indeed oddly like baseball in that there must be secret hand signals or something.. Every INDEPENDENT appraiser has refused our claim so we can go into arbitration (because it is State Farm.) I was like what do we DOOO? Hire someone incompetent. She said to take the denials to the freaking, insurance commission.

    My sis was so sweet .She was like, "Why they be saying no? It's an independent arbitration and you are paying them."

    I was like, "Because these are the GOOD adjusters, the ones who don't NEED work. They have to deal with the State farm adjuster and selecting an umpire to assist. They don't NEED the work." Sigh.

    We only have 20 days, gonna make a new final attack my red HAIR (and thank you @Bronze LOL) is gonna start falling out in clumps.

    We are gonna end up in court I just KNOW it, in PIMA Co the land that at the last election said non lawyers could be JUDGES.

    OMG.
