I have no clue, guessing the eggnog maybe...though i've used it before and I don't remember a licorice taste to it....unless it's the oakwood

it's toned down some now, hopefully after a few days that goes away....kinda enjoying this

I use FLV Eggnog all the time, I like the spice. I have never got anything close to licorice from it. My first thought was the Oakwood

I loved spices for the very short time I could vape them. It’s been so long I don’t miss them anymore.

I bet you are. Hoping the day goes by reasonably quickly.

I don’t have any big plans for today. After I finish the coffee sitting next to me I will shower and maybe find something to eat. After that I shall drink more coffee and wait for the washer repair guy to get here.......again.

I'm weird. Just some leftover dinner from yesterday. Pastry sounds good but I hardly ever buy it cause I'm not likely to eat it.

Pretty nice of your boss.

I wish there was a way to do a chemical analysis and see what flavors it really is.

There is. It's called gas chromatography. You just need a mass spectrometer.

Did you know there are over 350 chemicals / compounds in a strawberry?

There can be 300 to 500 compounds in one food.

Thanks for posting that. I didn't look it up. I personally would go higher on the bakery orange just because I would want it to be fairly up front but that's just me.

Never had a problem and it's very easy to do once you learn how to . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Even more how to videos if Ya' Google "Folding Fitted Sheets" . . .


.

I do know HOW to fold sheets and we used to. Just in case you were curious, I learned how to fold them at a young age. Then I learned how to do it the way of the military, in basic, courtesy of the US Navy.

There is no need to fold them these days. The bunched ball method, which I've perfected, works BEST for me . . . Just Sayin'.

Do you iron your sheets too?

I would also go higher on the bakery orange. And I would drop the CAP vanilla custard in half, or more. Probably sub FA premium custard at 1%.

I never run out of Jelly Bellies.

I'd love to have the room to put my sheets away like that.

I have spaces like that but...unfortunately, taken up with vape gear and DIY supplies.

Good. It is important to always have the essentials in stock.

The thing about the spreadsheets is that if you begin saving recipes on spreadsheets when you first begin mixing then it's very little work. Just a bit of typing versus a bit of writing by hand. Not much difference in my book.
On the other hand if all your stuff is on paper, and you've accumulated a bunch of paper...
Then forget about it. You're doomed.

Nope. Not doomed, my personal preference actually. When I started doing DIY everything I did was handwritten in notebooks. While I could have put it all on a computer back then I preferred handwritten over a device. Still prefer the way I do it over every other method. Notebooks and little pieces of paper work well, for me.

ETA: eJuiceMeUp for my recipes on a Mac. Very easy and efficient.

I may be triple doomed then . Now y’all understand my reluctance to change my methods…

That looks very organized to me. I have a bunch of notebooks that I should put in a binder. BTW, my little pieces of paper, with notes and ideas, get scotch taped in my notebooks, and they are dated!
