Random DIY mixing and More

I’m up to about 12 wpm (no, not a typo)

I never learned to type but I do ok with my 2 fingered typing.

 

[hittman]

I can type. This forum has over the years improved my typing skills. I don't think I'm super fast or anything but do ok. I should look for an online typing test.

 

[FranC]

I think I do fine. Good enough for me anyway.

Is there a sub for Vienna Cream?

just my opinion, but it's basically a sweet vanilla "frosting"... I would just sub a vanilla. I really like (VT) vanilla cream (mostly a nice vanilla and just a bit if cream)

I almost flunked typing in high school (my bad... wasn't really interested at the time) I was also a slow reader (very good reader, very good with spelling/grammar) just didn't do well on "timed tests". I have since learned (completely on my own) to speed read and type like crazy (self taught... "hunt and peck" but I can really fly on a good day)

so playing with my cheesecake some more, decided to try a bourbon cheesecake...

I haven't tried any liquor flavors but would love to! Maybe rum for a "Pina Colada" but I'm very interested in Bourbon... going to try it with several "creamy" recipes... desert ones and maybe even in a tobacco mix.

I really need to figure out how to use an ad block. These ads popping up on this site are getting on my nerves!

I have been using uBlock and love it. Some sites get ...... when I use an ad block but that can happen with any of them (you can always temporarily un-block if needed)

 

[vaper1960]

I use Chrome. I just downloaded Adblock Plus and so far so good! Not sure why I waited so long. Took seconds.

That's what I've used for years... like that one too.

Am I craving a tropical vacation vibe? Chilling on the beach, in the shade of a palm tree blowing in the wind, laid out in a lawn chair, beer and cooler at my side? Or am I hiking the Appalachian Trail at the beginning of fall, surrounded by a sunset of leaf colors, wood smoke and pine needles scenting the air?

Both sound good, but I'm undecided.

I am craving all of those! Stuck in the (crappy) city I grew up in... have spent most of my life driving to the mountains or the coast... man I miss them both so bad.

What is Mascarpone, should I get some? Haven't tried this IRL.

I just don't get the concept of a Vodka" vape flavor (good vodka is sort of tasteless anyway)
but... Marscapone sounds great! Otherwise that's a great list!

 

[vaper1960]

Also I would add a graham cracker to go with your cheesecake. Cap graham or TFA Graham Clear

 

[vaper1960]

mascarpone cheese is great with cheesecakes, helps finish off the flavor to them
i have it but yet to use it sugarloaf pineapple, it was recommended many of times
pineapple, as with most fruits, need several different types to round out the flavors
what I've used so far and works fairly well is
equal parts TFA Pineapple (or TFA Pineapple Juicy) and PUR Golden Pineapple
usually with fruits i try to buy 3 versions of it, a normal one, a sweet one, and a ripe one then mix them into equal parts to make 1 flavoring

if you like banana's then grab you some wf banana candy, it tastes almost like banana runts and it's great mixed with other banana's to give it a good flavor
Bavarian cream is a good one to have as it's a decent cream and gives a nice mouth feel
INW cactus is another good one to have on hand, a drop into your mix can add some moisture back into it
PUR Cookie is pretty good if you are looking for a cookie base
wf croissant and wf deep fried pastry dough are great for baked goods
if you need a nutmeg flavor TFA Holiday Spice is pretty much nutmeg
Pur Lemon Sicilian is another I have but not used yet, highly recommended for lemon flavors
Meringue is another great one to have on hand
FLV Milk & Honey (recommended by FranC) helps smooth things out
INW Shisha Vanilla (is on my list to order) don't have it but it's another highly recommended one
River Supply has this one called Sugar Crunch it's great in baked goods, adds a kind of crispness to it
of course Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is a good one to have on hand, makes for a great cream
ws-23 adds coolness without a menthol taste (a drop or two goes a long way)
FA Fresh Cream helps a dry mix to be less drying
FLV Cream adds a nice mouth feel

OMG... another great list! I'm not kissing .... (just the opposite... everyone is getting flavors that I recommend on my list... good to know all those hours of research were not wasted)

The Russian Vodka flavor is good

I haven’t had many booze flavors but haven’t liked any that I’ve tried.

Shame on you

 

[hittman]

Shame on you

Hey, at least I don’t have as many different ones as you do that you can’t vape. I’d go nuts if I couldn’t vape lemon. Maybe some day you’ll be able to go back and use some of the ones you can’t right now. I still wish I could like straight apple recipes.

I opened my mango lassi and it smells SO GOOD. I'm gonna give it a week long steep anyway. I feel like crap currently because my SSDI company "has yet to request records." On Friday, I was told I would get a determination on Monday.

This required a COMPELTE recount of Sunday Telemed and etc. Then a supervisor got on the line. I wound up yelling I am afraid. I was like, "I don't care if you were not clear on ANY part of this claim, but do NOT be pretending like you don't have my psychiatrist's information and DO NOT be telling me you cannot contact "Teledoc" with a 1-800 number that is some BS, it should have already been done. If you need a FAX number, then either go to the website which I gave you, or freaking CALL the number and ASK for the fax, I am A SOCIAL WORKER I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS THIS IS NOT HARD. I also asked her if she had any conception of how medical illnesses affect other ones and she was a twit. I was like, "I have NO CLUE why you find the collection of records SO HARD but I've been on SSDI so guess what, you guys are going to have a nasty time if you deny my claim because NO ONE gets on SSDI unless they are disabled and I HIGHLY suggest you check out the COVID STUFF.

She was like "Well the claims manager has to..."

I was like, "Well you are HER manager, so I HIGHLY suggest you do it RIGHT NOW. I think you know how it should take 20 minutes and you are to call me back when it is done.."

I mean, I'm sure I WON'T I am just being gaslighted. There are zero reasons to be confused about ANYTHING and frankly, you should have called the DOCTOR WHO FILLED OUT YOUR PAPERWORK YOU TWIT.

Argh now I'm all aggravated. I still don't feel that bad I mean compared to yesterday but WHATEVER, You are supposed to be feeling worse as the day progresses.

Meh, I have a headache. Just took Tylenol. I am so tired of headaches.

This insurance company BLOWS. It does.

I just can’t taste apple vape flavors

How abut the wines? Those taste very true to themselves. I have a marsala that is GREAT Port wine, also good, pink champagne a personal favorite so much so, I had to put it aside for a time. Too much of anything is boring.

No doubt the insurance person gave you the headache.
