    I did buy some FA Cookie with my order. And some TFA Banana Nut Bread. I don't know if cheesecake is considered a base, but I also purchased TFA Cheesecake.
    Of those I would pick the cheesecake or cookie.

    I'm really enjoying my Rhuberry Black Tea. It is in Zazie"s blog if anyone is interested. There is nothing in it that really needs steeping but I'm liking it even more than my first try with it.
    I just looked it up. That does look interesting.

    It sounds good @FranC .

    Today. It is the LAST day. Waking up here and then I will be cleaning and packing with SPEED oh UNBELIEVABLE speed I will say. I gotta get all I can in my car, once i am bathed and dressed, clean the bathroom. I did not get to the front shed (It is not TERRIBLE but could be improved and the husband has reached TERMINAL CRANKINESS.

    I helped him with concrete TWICE yesterday. First in the morning we finished in the afternoon. My scooping skills have improved to the point I had usefulness. I really did it because I felt sorry for him but he is on his OWN today. I have much to do and if he doesn't finish it's on him. ALSO like, I can't do anymore concrete I would die and ALSO (IMHO) he was not nearly grateful enough in general but even with the concrete I mean I OFFERED.

    God I cannot wait to get out of here you have NO IDEA.

    This was a different company who couldn't do anything but fix it or leave it while we fought it out with the other company, and we had to have air. We will be contacting the first company about the $425 we spent for nothing ($75 for the call and a "deal" of $350 for the freon).

    I had a racoon in my attic earlier this year. Paid an outfit called Critter Control $700 to get rid of it. They put in a one way door where it was getting in and then came back and built a partition under a step in the roof to keep it out. Trouble is they put the partition in the wrong place. It was under a gutter and water got in behind the partition. My roof guy is coming round to fix the damage, for $300.

    The roof guy is a friend. He said he had cleaned up their crappy work before. He told me it would be a waste of time to sue them. It would cost way more than I would get back. Sometimes you just have to suck it up. I had to be satisfied with badmouthing them on-line. I'm sure I cost them some business.

    Morning, mixers.

    Our mini heat wave continues, plants and planters (us) are wilting.

    Ok, so what's the rule of thumb on substituting flavors in recipes? For instance say a recipe has CAP Dragonfruit, but I have TFA? Or I have TFA Marshmallow, but the recipe calls for FA?

    No rules. Just look up recommended percentages. Some are stronger than others. It might taste a little different from the original but if you like it then it doesn’t matter.

    Cool, I just did not know if some companies flavors were a lot stronger than others, so I wasn't sure if I could sub out or not.

    All the above for that thumb ;)

    Unless I've heard that one or the other is significantly stronger, I usually just start with the same percent as given. And small batches, say 10 ml.

    I am donating blood later this morning. Always a fun time.

    :thumbs:

    Just be careful!

    I hope they lost a lot of business.

    Well, I'm in for it: moved all my mixing necessities into the kitchen to coerce myself into getting down to work. This attempt to lean on myself may or may not succeed.
    Wishing you much luck.

    Small claims court? I know every state has caps but you might be able to like, get at least some of it back. Get a written statement for that second guy. Look into it.

    If you want notoriety and excitement there is also always Judge Judy? LOL. J/K

    @FranC ME TO YOU HAVE NO IDEA, OMG

    I have some. I’ve done concrete work by myself.

    I had to put in some posts under the floor joists once. The "basement" is 5' high with a mud floor so I had to put concrete pads under the posts. Only way in is through an access well. So I mixed 40lbs at a time and took it through the access well in a bucket and poured it, then out to mix another 40lbs quick. Each pad took 80lbs. Walking around hunched over to avoid whacking my head on the joists. That was 15 years ago and I could hardly walk for a week afterwards. Couldn't do it today.

    I did the block walls for an entire house. Needless to say, I was in my 20's at the time. Still quite a job for a 110lb female. The cement mixer sat up on the bank and had to be carried by pail fulls.

    Maybe use small claims court. Cost about 100.00
