Random DIY mixing and More

The power has gone off a couple times but came back on quickly. Stay safe, everyone.

I have zero desire to buy anything right now. Guess it is the virus and dooming regs. I am in a wait and see mode. I need to sell a bunch of stuff but don't want to make any trips to the PO so I will wait.

Good morning Went to place my BCF order yesterday, double checked my inventory.. and turns out I had some mascarpone.

Would this be a good cheesecake base?
3% yes we cheesecake INW
1% mascarpone WF
1% cheesecake (graham cracker crust) TFA
1% ny cheesecake v2 CAP

I'm basing it off a blueberry cheesecake mix I did, that was kind of funky but I think due to my blueberry, blueberry extra, bilberry %s
I'll probably do a strawberry cheesecake

Hope everyone does OK in this wind. It's going to start hitting us this morning, and sticking around all day. I'm not optimistic on keeping power. We have many, many dead trees from both gypsy moth infestation and emerald ash borer. I'm glad I had all my potentially troublesome ones removed in the Fall. No generator here, either, but I've found that my big upright freezer will keep below 32F for about 4 days, if I don't open it, so hopefully that at least will be OK.

To do today: Knitting, and while the power lasts, playing either Witcher 3 or State of Decay 2. Zombie games aren't really my thing, but my friend bought me a copy and we play coop. So nice to talk to another person every day!

I've been playing a bit of Witcher 3 on my PC and it is pretty awesome! I'm a big fan of and have read all the books, but hadn't played any of the games until recently.

Still no power.

Still no power. Twitter has blown up at our power company. Hundreds of dollars of food will be ruined here. I have no desire to spend money on vaping when I've already spent a small fortune on virus stocking and will probably have to start over.

Witcher 3 is more my thing than zombies! But there is no coop so I can't play with my friend. I'm really terrible at Witcher 3 combat, but I'm hoping if I just keep trying I'll get the hang of it. I'm playing in story mode, and some of it is still really hard. Love the game though.

I hope it's restored soon! Perhaps if it's something big, they will get it fixed more quickly? I know that's how it works here. If it's a main line that's down, with hundreds or thousands of customers it gets fixed quickly. If it's just the lines on our street, forget it.

It's widespread and I have no idea what kind of damage it caused. I read that there were trees down in the town beside mine. I'm trying to be nice about it as people lost their homes and lives. Hopefully it'll be on soon. Then I can check my food. I read frozen food will last 48 hours but I'm doubtful.

If you don't open your freezer, and it is pretty full, it should last at least 48 hours. I've checked it on my refrigerator freezer and found that to be the case. Ice cream was a little soft, but things like meat still absolutely frozen solid.

Your food will be OK for awhile as long as you don't keep opening the door.

Oh gawd's, it's you that have also done a massive amount of food buying for your parents too? Yes? I can only hope power is returned ASAP for you. Really feel for you there, yes frozen food can stay that way for a long time, the main thing not to do is open the freezer door, tempting as it may be. I am thinking of you and hope this all works out well with nothing lost. All that going out, getting it, unloading and organising it etc is bloody*y stressful , not to mention the cost. All the very, very best to you, my fingers and toes are crossed

Good morning mixers and good luck RJ on getting your power back on. We had a bunch of rain and high winds yesterday but nothing like you had.

It's just another work day here. I've got my fingers crossed for more work to come in today.

 

[Skeebo]

Good morning mixers. RJ, I am sending electrical vibes your way... and hoping it comes back soon!

 

[Iron Molly]

Ugh power starting to flicker here already, and the really high winds haven't even started yet. Wish me luck!

 

[DavidOck]

Morning, mixers.

Hope all in the various storms' paths stay safe, and get power back soon!

I'm partial to my own base but I would get rid of the above TFA cheesecake and add 2% Graham Crust (any brand) instead

That really sucks. I hope it comes on in time to save your food.

Hoping so.

IMO none of the cheesecakes have enough graham.
