    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.
    Is a flavor I don't have:lol:

    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.
    There a lot of different ones. I prefer the stevia ones. I am not a big fan of the CAP super sweet. I base sweeteners on whether I like it in my iced tea.

    Just for shiggles I went to Amazon and found tp...within SECONDS that stuff was GONE. Crazy world we live in. I was going to come back here and post it since we are OK for now but it was GONE. Why are we still having a shortage of paper products? Just blows my mind.

    I used to use a lot of EM but started using cap super sweet for no better reason than it was called for in several recipes that I saw. I recently got a bottle of sugardaddy sweetener to try. I used it in one recipe but am waiting for it to steep.

    My Wal-Mart order is still sitting there. Maybe they will ship it someday. I'm not going to cancel

    I cancelled one of mine and the other two are still not updated. I emailed them and got a pretty generic response about they are working very hard. They also said that the one order will be cancelled by them if they can't fill it by a certain date. I thought that was odd. I have pretty much given up hope on getting anything from them. I honestly have never liked shopping at Walmart and avoid going there if at all possible. I think the last time I was inside their store was when I picked up the mini freezer I bought online and had shipped to the store last fall.

    When I go to Walmart.com the toilet paper says in store pickup only. They are not shipping tp as far as I can tell. Amazon has it sometimes but you gotta be quick and lucky...lucky as in winning the lottery lucky. I read an article this morning that tp suppliers have a priority. Here is a snippet:

    Hoarding not the only reason for toilet paper shortage

    Rich Hebert is the CEO of Clean It Supply, a wholesaler for cleaning supplies. He told News 8 tissue manufactures have a priority hierarchy with Federal Emergency Management Agency and medical companies at the top with big box stores somewhere in the middle.

    “Aside from consumers trying to stock up, the government and first responders are definitely taking far more than they were before,” Hebert said.

    A couple of reasons. Everyone is home, so they are using more instead of using at work/school or out (estimate is 40% more). The production lines can't increase output because they run 24/7 at capacity to meet our normal needs. There is commercial TP, but it's a type most consumers don't want, and it's not packaged for consumer sale. So it's NOT all about people hoarding!

    I agree. I think most people are reasonable in purchasing their needs. It does get tiring that people are blamed for hoarding when they are just trying to provide reasonable amounts to their family. I'm sure there are hoarders out there. But it's simply a matter of not enough supply with a whole lot more demand. I hope babies are getting enough diapers and wipes and formula.

    Morning, mixers. Darn, clear blue skies, and a wimpy sun :)

    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.

    Erithritol is another good sweetener, seems to gunk less.

    between here and there
    The ONLY way I could get tp was to go to Walmart and Sams during their senior times @ 6am in the morning on Tuesdays. I feel that walmart is forcing people out of their homes for this item and for those in high risk groups I find that unforgivable and totally irresponsible.

    I only ordered one pkg of tp.

    When I ordered, there weren't any large packs available for order online so I placed orders for three smaller packs. I have cancelled one since my wife was able to get a six roll pack at Target last week but am leaving the other two orders open in hopes of getting just one of them.

    When I ordered they supposedly had one big pkg.....still "delayed".
