Random DIY mixing and More

Well, I am going to have to at least buy Flapper Pie. If only because of the funny name.

It's a very mild custard and meringue... sweet but not over-sweet (very versatile) Works great with fruits and/or bakeries.
The name is from a traditional Canadian desert pie I think. Not much crust flavor that I can taste.

I've lived in FL for more than 65 years. I lived near St. Petersburg (in 2 beach towns) for 5 years. Have lived in the center of central FL (about 1/2 way between Tampa & Orlando) for 60 years. Went to college in Pensacola for 2 years. I've loved all of those areas of Florida.

The state and counties have built hiking, walking, and biking trails in many parts of Florida. They're favorite places for many people. We also have quite a few state and county parks to ride in. My nephew's a long distance biker and never has a problem finding roadways and trails that are safe places to ride. My neighbors rent out a house to winter visitors who are bike enthusiasts, and have been coming down from NY for the past 4 years. They've never had even a scare even while riding along roadways anywhere in a 50 miles radius of here. Most bike/auto crashes you read about are in congested areas of major cities.

As far as FL being too conservative in general...I disagree. I'm sure it varies quite a bit from area to area though, like in any other state.

ETA: Forgot what your son mentioned about people driving like nuts. Those are usually people in the major cities (think Tampa, Orlando, Miami), or on the interstates. Then there's the northern winter visitors who come down every fall-early spring...who drive like the road belongs to them and only them. They're definitely not the speedy drivers though.

Are you in St. Petersburg now? I was just reading about a great bike trail out of there.

Can't touch this.

"Hammer don't hut 'em" (or something like that) Kinda surprised you mentioned that song

 

[vaper1960]

though hot water or boiling should work fine....
I just like to use vodka

Me too (and I don't waste it... drink it after)

I have a raspberry cheesecake that I mixed on the fly a week ago. I'm sure it's not ready but am really curious if it's going to be any good.

Nothing wrong with doing a "sneak preview" (then let it steep a few weeks)

Have you tried it?

 

[vaper1960]

Stop me before I mix again. I just had another idea and I dont need to have this many bottles of juice mixed up on hand right now. Chocolate cheesecake.

Sounds good to me

 

[vaper1960]

Have you tried it?

I understand why you asked (we won't go into that) Yes, I have tried it in many recipes... love it (and yes, it is sweet so spare me the "it's too sweet"... love you dear but everything is too sweet for you) It is very versatile and not over powering (like some custards)

I think my mailman hates me...this is the 2nd time they've shoved a package into my mailbox that was really too big and I couldn't get it out....I sat there and fought with the package for 10 minutes trying to squeeze it out..ripping up the package it was in...the mailbox is only like 3 inches tall and there's an upper and lower lip on it making it even smaller to get stuff out of....it's not like there's not a bigger box at the bottom of the mailboxes that they could have used and left the key in my mailbox...sadness not vape mail just more vitamins

Went through the same problem for years with the regular mail carrier (who didn't care, especially given they usually show up after 5:30 - 6 PM to deliver mail) . . . As a result I went to the local post master and complain each and every time it happened, even sent complaints via email to the USPS (Email Us ) . . . Finally, a year ago it finally stopped . . . Just a thought . . .

OK. Bought one and if it leaks I'll send it your way.

As long as you fill it correctly and make sure the "fill tab" is closed - it won't . . . Matter of fact, if Ya' don't it will not fit back into the "cradle" . . . Just Sayin . . .

Are you in St. Petersburg now? I was just reading about a great bike trail out of there.

No, as a kid I lived in Madiera Beach and in Treasure Island...which are both close neighbors to St. Petersburg. Was the trail you were reading about the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail, by chance? It's a very nice, popular trail. In case it wasn't that 1...here's a link to it:

Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail | Florida Trails | TrailLink

Those winter visitors, that I mentioned rent a house from my neighbor for the season...load up their bikes and drive over there to ride that trail each year. They love it!

Good morning

Good morning....I remember....

 

[hittman]

Good morning. More rain again today. I’m sick of it. I need to verticut my lawn this weekend but am afraid it’s going to be too wet.

So, there is a real place named Treasure Island? I had no idea. @JCinFLA, are you a pirate?

Does anyone know what size funnel I should be looking for that would fit the opening of 8oz glass bottles? I might not end up using a funnel, but I have to order a couple of things today anyway, so I figured I would grab one.

I have a set similar to these and I used the largest one and it has a 1/2” diameter spout and it fit perfectly in my 8 oz bottles.

That's great. Do you recall where you purchased them?

I don't remember but probably the thrift store. I agree with someone else that said look in the dollar tree store.
