We had enough “electricity” via the solar, but low water pressure and no working sewer lift stations (so no flushing or showers), spotty ability to text, no calling, no way to check emails, or weather radar etc. We had planned to be here for the week for vacation anyway. Just came a day early. I’ll try and read the last five pages, but no way I can catch up. My brain is stress fried. We’ve stayed home for probably a half dozen hurricanes, but NEVER again.
In this thread I told everyone you guys hopped on a shrimpers boat and got lost at sea. Then were found floating around the lost island of Atlantis somewhere in the Gulf. Yes, I did tell them You and Himself recreated the Titanic shot at the front of the boat.

I did buy a bottle of each before he closed shop. Wasn't gonna miss out. I still have about a half a bottle of each from my original order way back when. Now I wish I would have tried more of his mixes. :)
Those were my favorites. Love was pretty good, and he did a strawberry banana as a special occasionally. I never was crazy about his funnel cake, or king cake, but I think it was the cinnamon that put me off. I’m sorry I didn’t try Dat One, but thought I wouldn’t like tobacco. Silly me :rolleyes:

More likely, floated off clinging to an oak tree. This was early evening before it got bad enough that I wasn’t going by any windows. It’s not foggy, that’s the rain.

I ordered what was on my wish list, just in case :lol:. I’m so tired, I just assumed perky, caffeinated me knew what I was doing when I made the list and ordered it all. Not much, maybe a dozen?

If/when I get it unpacked, I’ll have to take a picture of the bag of bottles I brought. Most closer to empty. I literally dumped my juice drawer into a bag. It needed cleaning out anyway :blush:. Either I make too much, or I need to work on finishing more before moving on to new. There was a pile at the back I had totally forgotten.

I did make 60 of @FranC ’s ice cream base with the added glazed strawberry @hittman recommended to have something for next month.
You know what? I did a hurried BCF order like that before. Not knowing I already had some of the flavors, I ended up with a few duplicates and even a couple triplicates. :lol:

FWIW, I have a packed bugout bag in my vehicle and another near my bed. Both include everything I would need for a while. Even have dog and cat food ready to roll. Including spare airhide ball, frisbee and Benebone for Carli. :)

I wish I was that organized for myself. Dog and hubs, yes… but not my stuff. I grabbed every mod that was sitting out around the house and dumped them in a bag. I’m a little a-feared to look in and see what kind of mess there is.

    That looks totally wicked.

    I saw this house the other day and thought it might be the perfect house for hurricane alley. IMO it would be totally hurricane wind proof. Under the roof tiles is a massive slab of rock. Just add some hurricane proof shutters for the windows and I think it would be set.

    It's the Casa do Penedo (Portuguese for Stone House or House of the Rock) an architectural monument located in northern Portugal. Casa do Penedo - Wikipedia

    There are more photos via "Casa do Penedo" search on the web. Pretty cool house. I could totally live there. :)

    We have Covid to thank for the higher prices on PG. It's used in hand sanitizers.
    I'm very sure it's VG in hand sanitizers (and we have made our own during the "shortage") but I don't claim to be an expert on this. VG is an emollient to keep your skin from drying out from the alcohol.

    That house is amazing. I want it. How much do you think it would cost to get it moved to Missouri?

    Actually trying to utilize the bread aspect of Soho, not going for Ry4 at all.
    Oh I get it now. VT croissant is also very useful for that. I have heard many people mention using tobacco flavors for bakery recipes. I have mentioned using PUR "sweet tobacco" just for the "nutty" notes for the same reason. I always say there are no rules when mixing e-juices (don't get stuck on names/descriptions... think outside the box)

    Wrong sagely one... that FACT is that PG is used in hand sanitizers. Perhaps do some actual research next time.

    "In alcohol-based hand sanitizers, PG is used as a humectant to prevent the skin from drying."

    LOOK IT UP!

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good evening. I’m about ready to turn in. I’ve read along but just didn’t have much to say. I still have one more recipe I want to mix and realized tonight that I’m about out of the Amarula mix.

    Might cost a pretty penny or two. Call @Javichu and ask him to do his translating thing. I bet he probably knows some Portuguese. I was thinking it would be a good house for when we get tornadoes here.

    At least there’s a sale. Get extra.
