    This is something I can come back to down the road.
    I’m not sure I’m going to mix with both yet. Probably no mixing til Monday. Going to be a busy weekend. Birthday party for one kiddo and I have to get up to the hospital to see the tiny baby.

    have three chocolate projects.

    Okay there, Willy Wonka. You know what happened to the kid right? He ended up in this really sad book about an elevator in the sky that seemed even less like, realistic than James and the Giant Peach (actually James and the Giant Peach sort of had this weird realism to it in the sense that if stuff like that went down, it would certainly go down in that sort of order.)

    Never has a sequel been weirder. Although, I am thinking of just in a fit of Mad Scientist Enthusiasm mixing ALL the chocolates I have into a sort of "super" chocolate to see what happens. I'd be interested.

    I have some good chocolate plus WHATEVER recopies but No Super Chocolate yet, like YET.

    We shall see what the weekend brings. Nothing horrendously expensive, humiliating or dispiriting has happened to me today YET other than staying late until 5:30 on Friday.

    To be FAIR, I did leave EARLY on Wed....

    WAIT. I should have been allowed to send in my temporary double on Wed (it's a Silly Sally doll that nods it's head and says "Yes, I understand," over and over. My husband got it for me and I think SHE could have gone to work for me on Wed. LOL.

    Also, I have decided my favorite line is "Now is the winter of our discontent" is my favorite line in a play. I used to think King Richard was DARK. But, it's kind of not, it's sweet and innocent.

    I would have to wear a sign though that said, "I am using the royal form of we, possessive noun" or whatever, and also "forget the "made glorious spring" line because that's just.. it's not DARK enough. So I would also have to wear a sign that said, "FIRST LINES ONLY."

    But it would be a great intro. "Hi, I am Anna part of your medical team and NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISONTENT,"

    The kiddos would be confused all they know about Shakespeare these days is everyone wanted gender reassignment surgery and probably good old Shakes was a hermaphrodite.

    I bet it's being taught in some HS classroom, somewhere.

    This does not supersede the amusement of hearing Shakespeare read out loud by hesitant students. Mighta been the same play, but some kid read "Go, get him surgeons!" As, "Go get him, Surgeons!"

    LOL I wish life would stop kicking me in the teeth, too.

    I forgot I had it until it was mentioned here. I’ve got a lot of flavors I’ve probably never tried.
    I’m positive I do. I have 354 listed in my stash. Given my vast organizational skills... who knows. I know some aren’t in there because I have found written recipes with dates and notes with flavors that aren’t in there. At this point, the thought of recataloging it seems like Mt Everest.

    I’ve been mixing my own a long time but I’m pretty new mixing with these NET’s. Still done pretty well. So far only one has gone down the drain.
    I hope I can come close to that with NETs. I swore I hated custard, cheesecake, bakery flavors... we all know how that ended ;). The last two on my list of “never nevers” are chocolate and tobacco. Time to jump in and tackle those

    I used to update my printed list with every order but am about four orders behind right now.

    I’m sitting here vaping your Strawberry Biscuit. Have you tried it with a darker fruit (either this or the Croissant recipe)? I’m not fond of the blackberries I’ve tried, but isn’t huckleberry, boysenberry or something like a blackberry/raspberry blend? Maybe that and raspberry... I really don’t want to get burned out on strawberry. One of my favs.

    I haven't tried most of my gazillion flavors. But I like having a wide variety at the ready so that when inspiration strikes I can act a

    Ok, raspberry and black currant would be good or raspberry and huckleberry

    Better days are coming....hopefully

    LOL, I first read this as, "Bitter days are coming, hopefully." I thought you were adding to my play! Heh.

    It makes me think about writing a dystopian novel concerning a person who could only utilize lines of Shakespeare (or themes, although to be fair, like, Shakespeare's pretty versatile. You could describe a chocolate like, "Dark, darker than the Moore Othello."

    Don't even get me started on Ophelia, I'd be strewing flowers everywhere, naming their herbal properties.

    Like, "Our kid won't stop self-stimulating herself and we can't make her and we're worried about daycare"

    And I'd be like, "Peony, he loves me not, I shall rest in a boat, tomorrow." type thing.

    Actually I would really have to get reacquainted with the plays. It's a lot easier for me to teach a kid to learn that some behavior is "private" than to like, expel Shakespeare all the time.

    Although I do remember enough about Shakespeare's fools to like, assign one to each Major Political Player... If I did not run out.

    Anna

    Much Ado About Nothing is such an annoying play. I felt bad for my sis she was assigned the lead role, and I think she has something nuts like 90 percent of the lines. I was like, 'Dood, how you gonna MEMORIZE that?"

    I can't even remember what hilarious thing happened when some kid got on stage and lost their mind COMPLETELY. It was funny, but it is lost to the winds of time.

    Good morning! What a week...just so busy at work. I fell asleep on the couch two nights in a row cause I’m so tired. I haven’t mixed lately but I plan on doing some this weekend. I gotta go talk to H&R Block today. I’m not sure how to handle a couple of forms for my son’s college. I’ve researched it to death and it’s still clear as mud. I also need to make a trip to Walmart. Raining here. Again.

    I’m thinking about ordering from Stixx Mixx but I already have some I haven’t touched. I have hundreds of flavors I haven’t touched. :blink:
    I can't say I have 100's I haven't touched but I do have several.
