Random DIY mixing and More

I’m thinking of apricot/cranberry in your croissant base. I’m really not that familiar with apricot.

That sounds good, like I would eat it.

Ok, I’m going with an apricot/cranberry croissant.

I have to figure out what goes in my creamy custard base now.

What are your % on the peach,papaya and mango. I may try that.

Not yet. It’s a thought.

I'm thinking mostly Mango with a tinge of something like blackberry.
I don't really have any dark berry flavors myself. I do have black Currant, er and INW Grape, but I'm not really a fan of those flavors. Not a Grape guy, never have been.

I have two apricots . TFA and FA. Thoughts??

I have CAP Apricot, no help here.

Is your Mango Pineapple Banana Smoothie recipe in Zazie's blog?



While I'm at it... might as well wish you another Happy Birthday. Stay tuned, probably see another one or two from me.

I think it is in the blog. Let me know if not, I'm pretty sure I posted it at some point.

Thanks , Zaz. Seems like a lot of flavor.

Was just looking through some old notes and recipes for some flavors I haven't used in some time. Lolz, in my DIY notebooks, I always start writing on the last page of a new notebook first (backazzwards ).

I haven't mixed with watermelon(s), honeydew, cantaloupe, papaya, kiwi or passion fruit in quite a while. Same with starfruit.

I have a recipe up for mixing but my go to with those is 2% chocolate mousse and 1% Cappuccino.

I'm going to do that chocolate Joe remix in the next couple days sometime.

AH - Another thing to think about is . . . Go back 9 months from your birthday, what s the special event - ex: Every child my mother gave birth to was approximately 9 months from one of their birthdays and/or wedding anniversary . . . Just a thought . . .

Hmm, works if I was born a week late (my father's birthday is November 22). Doesn't account for my sisters, though.

I have several dark berries. I’ll make a note of that idea.

A bright mango will definitely go with dark berry fruits. Often have a mixture of mango, papaya and blueberries for breakfast but any dark fruit would be nice. @FranC can probably point you in the right direction but I would try blackcurrant or blackberry....

I never really settle on one fruit too long, but like you strawberry and raspberry are the two I use the most.
I haven't done much with peach lately, but I think you don't like peach much...
Fall is coming. Dare I say - pumpkin? Not a fruit.
Baked or cider apple or pear flavors sound good to me. I may have a Baked Pear, I know I have a ripe pear. I may do a little Two Apples and Ripe Pear with some cream.

Pumpkins are berries.

Have you ever tried Mango with a dark berry? I'm just curious if that could work together. Don't know if I have had a flavor like that before.

I have. They pair well.

Well you can't all be born on the same day....unless you're triplets

Apricot jam is lovely on a RL croissant.

Making me hungry for one.

Me too

Well,as I said I will use the FA that I have. Actually not sure how much I like apricot but I’ll find out. I can do a creamy custard or a croissant.

One of each?

I may have to break down and try some blackberry. buy some I mean. I have wanted to get into blueberry but I think blackberry might be easier, need less testing maybe.
I have Forest Fruit Mix but I never got the hang of that one, it is a bit strange to me, too dark and mingled.

Those are good ideas,
