Oh... I forgot to mention (and it's the reason my nickname is shootnstar) the best meteors (Perseids) of the year were last night but down here in the city (lights, smog, smoke) I didn't bother even going out to look. Should still be some tonight if you have decent clear skies. I'm so spoiled... three years in a row stayed up all night at glacier point in Yosemite. Pristine clear skies... so may meteors and even an aurora one time. I would have went out and looked but it wouldn't have been the same. Did that for the Lunar eqlipse and it was a waste of time.

Good for you Fran... I often have to lock myself in my room and do hurried mixing.
Would you be interested in some granola bar ideas? Maybe something with cranberry (and other berries or fruits)? Don't forget lemon doesn't have to be the main flavor (just something to brighten up the other flavors) Or... maybe acai if you want to go a different direction. I have learned that you do have good ideas with mixing fruits... can't wait to see what you come up with.

    I have a specific idea for my new granola bar. I like my Raspberry Granola Bar so much I’m going to use the same base with new fruits.

    I have recently fallen in love with raspberry (to my surprise... thought I liked darker berries like blackberry)
    But since you have tried that, I would suggest cranberry and (yes... but consider this anyway) VT orange marmalade (this idea was inspired by some cookies I recently tried... BelVita orange cranberry) I know... you say you don't like orange, but maybe with just a bit with cran might surprise you. The granola should work great with those.

    Dense fog here last night and tonight. No meteors for me.

    I’ve been mixing for years. I really do know what I like. I do not vape orange.

    Fran... maybe acai, billberry and a bit of raspberry (or lemon) Can't say I didn't try.
    I still think you might like the cranberry/orange marmalade.
    Granola bar is one I'm interested in... hope you don't mind if I threw a few ideas your way (or I will just try them myself)
    It's kinda hard when you ask about using other fruits (can I be honest?) You tend to say "I don't like this, I don't like that" fair enough but I still try to suggest ideas.

    I mixed two Amarula recipes awhile back calling them Amarula one and two. I didn’t like one but I do like two. I couldn’t find it in the blog so I don’t think I’ve posted it. @Zazie

    Amarula Fruit Cake
    WF Amarula 2 drops (in 15ml).
    FW White Cake 2.5%
    WF Starfruit 1%
    WF Island Mango 1.5%

    You may suggest anything you wish but I don’t vape flavors I don’t like. Do you?

    Can I be honest? You always ask about using other fruits... then you say I don't like this, I don't like that... so why bother asking? No offense, but I won't bother suggesting anything again.

    I just annoyed myself. I have different colored vape bands on Lemos so I know what flavor is in each. Got confused between purple and blue and filled the banana cream tank with coffee. I just rewicked the banana tank too. Now I have 2 tanks with coffee which I like but don't vape much. Banana is currently my favorite.

    Life is good apart from that. The tree guys were here all day. Took down one huge old hackberry. It had been dropping big branches for a while. The trunk turned out to be rotten all the way up. It was close enough to take my house out if it had fallen in the right direction. They also cleaned up dead wood from half a dozen other trees and ground some stumps. They are coming back tomorrow to cut down a couple of trees in a neighbors yard that are hanging over my driveway and garage. The neighbor gave me the OK. Guy doesn't have any money so it's down to me.

    And tomorrow the neighbor kid is coming over to cut the grass while I sit in the kitchen drinking tea and vaping.

    Glad you got the tree work done. I remember once putting the wrong juice in a tank but I just remember disappointment.

    Good morning Mixers!
    Haven't been on much, mostly due to storms, but also, reading a LOT lately, since I can't get out in the heat and humidity when it ISN'T storming. Hope y'all have a great day/evening....:):wub:

    That sounds really GOOD, IF I were a mixer, which I am not, but gave my taste buds a twinge...:). I usually love raspberries or blackberries, IRL. Used to have tons of bushes as a kid and ate more than I picked, I think...:p

    Morning Mixers,

    Have my virtual doc appt today which is FRIDAY THE 13TH. I need to watch a Jason movie or something lol. Found out yesterday a new John LeCarre novel is coming out 10/12 and I pre-ordered it. His spy books are amazing, although I think he passed some time back. RIP.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    I’ve done that a few times myself. It happens to the best of us.
