I don't know what GAD is, but when you are people watching remember Kids in the Hall and pinching heads! "I crush your head!" If you have no idea what I'm talking about try this:

New season of KITH coming up. I'm pleased.

I did the same thing (stuck inside because of the rain) Did both bathrooms, sprayed lysol on all doorknobs and wiped computer mouse/keyboard, microwave control and fridge door handles with alcohol. I like with my 80 yo mother (she is worried about the virus) and my 36 yo nephew (doesn't wash his hands very often) House is germ free!
You mentioning Lysol cracked me up. It reminded me of my Mom telling me yesterday that her and Dad were fussing cause he’s going around spraying it on everything...including bumble bees! :facepalm: She said he was wasting it. :blink: I found two or three cans in my laundry room of different smells plus I have extra of the crisp linen which I think is best. I told her I’ve got you covered Mom.

I knew this would happen. I ordered a gallon of spray hand sanitizer the other day at bulk apothecary as they were out of gel and I couldn’t find it anywhere at a decent price. Well now the gel is in stock and they’ve increased alcohol content to 70% from 62%. So I ordered another gallon of the gel. I’ll give the spray to Dad so he can go about his spraying without pissing Mom off.

:laugh:

I hate to be the one to tell you... we ordered the same thing from them over 3 weeks ago. Hasn't even shipped out yet (and yes, it's in stock) they are that busy. For now, making our own from VG and 70% alcohol and putting in small spray bottles. I actually like the spray better than the gel.

Yeah I ordered the spray about a week ago and no shipping yet but they say there is a large wait for shipping. I can wait as I have a small bottle. I figure this stuff will be around for a while so we’ll need it eventually.

I couldn’t find alcohol but I have a tiny bit in the cabinet if I have to make some.

@DLKnives , just going by reviews (and guessing)
TFA- Peach juicy 5%
INW- Mango 1%
FW- Bavarian cream 4%
TFA is generally weak, FW medium and INW strong. To be honest, the review of INW Mango was not good so I wouldn't go over 1% (but it might help tone down the peach) I'm using TFA for both the peach and mango (the Bavarian cream is a pre-made I had) If I could afford it, I would get FLV Mango for sure.

    I've tried the INW Mango and love it, but it is strong.

    What % did you test it at? Bavarian cream is going to need to steep awhile (I just got WF- Flapper pie which is similar with Meringue and some crust... same thing, needs to steep but after 3 days I'm going to give it a quick taste anyway) One more week and my cheesecake will be ready (1 month) It's so hard to wait.

    I discovered blueberry isn't for me. Heather makes an incredible Blueberry Muffin that was as genuine as it gets. Fantastic flavor (Pop can vouch for it). But I'm no Heather.

    True, HHV Blueberry Muffin is spot on. The only luck I've ever had with blueberry flavors is blueberry cheesecake, and I had to add CAP Blueberry Jam to TFA Blueberry Extra to get there.

    I mixed it at 4% with INW Peach at 4% and Papaya at 3%. The Mango was definitely the strongest.

    FW has a lot of weak flavors IMO. Also IMO TFA flavors are not weak overall unless you're comparing them to INW LOL. Regardless TFA has a lot of good flavors.

    I have some frozen blueberry pancakes that I'm really wanting all of a sudden. :drool: I think we have a package of blueberry muffins too.

    Good Morning!

    I have a question. When a recipe calls for sweetener, what do all of you use? I know marshmallow is a sweetener but anything else is just escaping me at the moment.
    em would be my choice if I used sweetener.

    Oh yeah I forgot about em. I used meringue in my hazelnut cream. Somewhere around these parts I heard someone mention it as a sweetener so I thought I'd try it. But I haven't done a sft on meringue so I'm not sure how sweet it is.
