Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Yes you do! I mix the next one when I get halfway through. Learned the hard way (aka a month of waaaaaaiting) to keep a fresh one in the steeper

I mix my 2 different ones so I’m never out

I mix my 2 different ones so I’m never out

When you say two different ones do you mean two of the same recipe, or that you have two different base recipes. I'm about to mix your recipe from yesterday now.

Mixing that recipe as is, is fine. If you want to premix some base for future cheesecake mixes my 2 base mixes are in Zazie’s blog,

I think my Cheesecake Base 1 is the most popular. I also mix my TFA cheesecake base.

@NolaMel I do not mess around when it comes to my cheesecake. Base 1 is mixed.

Nvm... I found some notes in my recipes.

I have a question for people that use mesh coils. I use mostly Freemax mesh coils, have tried all 4,single, double, triple and quad. I actually prefer the single, easier to prime and after each flavor change a 30 second warm water rinse brings them back. I'm able to run 200 ml through a coil with no problems. Any one else have experience with any of these?

I buy them and have bought all of them. I like them all and buy whatever I can find on sale

Don’t you miss the animals when you go? Your dog is such a sweetheart.

Yes, I miss them. MOstly Daphne. Since the rest seem to not rely on me as much for their happiness. I was flying Dahpne around with me a lot but always had to buy a first-class ticket so she could fit at my feet. Now I believe they have stopped allowing emotional support dogs so that will be no more

It was breaking your heart to think of giving her up.

How's Julie doing with her these days, by the way?

Yes, it was. She is a special girl. Still has to sleep in the cage at night because she gets into a lot. Even when I leave to just go to the store, I come home to open cabinets and trash cans turned over.

You should check on that.

I think everyone was on team Cheddar! Finding a fur baby that meshes perfectly with your heart, soul and household is a magical moment. It was always clear you were smitten

Well, she meshed perfectly with half the household. The other half, not so much.

After the discussion this morning, I emailed heartland and asked if they had any plans to handle the shipping problem. The response I got was basically that they are in limbo waiting for the regulations to come through so they can see if there is anything they can do. So in other words, if you don't think you have enough nic then I'd make sure to order it within the next month just in case.

Julie is still hissing and spitting and grumbling any time Cheddar comes near.

Light snow falling. I think the bulk of the storm is going to fall overnight. 6-12.

You just reminded me that my bottle of Cheesecake Base 1 is empty. Really need to fill that back up.

I mixed I think 50ml of the #1 base a while back and it's fully steeped. I pulled 10ml last night and added two drops of alpine strawberry and 2% of yes we cheesecake. I have added the strawberry before but this is the first time I've added the INW. I like the #1 base but feel like I want something more in it. Hopefully that works out. If not then I might just up the percentages.

The mascarpone is my favorite. I tried yes, we cheesecake. It has that mascarpone twang, but not as tasty. Not my first choice, but if it was all I had I could make an acceptable cc mixing it with the cc/graham I think. Until we know for sure what’s going on with shipping, I’m keeping everything as emergency backups.

I went to look in the blog... omg, y’all have been busy creating recipes!!! I don’t see your cc bases under cheesecake. I know they’re probably right under my nose. I use a handwritten copy in my notes. I’d forgotten about the italian cream one. I should do two different this go

The bases are towards the bottom of the blog. I think the heading is "bases and stones"

Yes,we cheesecake is not my fav either. IMO Cap and TFA are all I want in cheesecake with the added mascarpone of course. I will be using my TFA base now because that’s the one that’s well steeped.I keep both mixed at all times. Guess you can tell I love my cheesecake mixes.

Can I have a picture if there’s that much? I can’t imagine a foot of snow!
