Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

No bases this time. Next mix is a Grapefruit Crumble.

I’ve been mixing for three days I think. My divider for new mixes isn’t even full. UGH.

I did look here for reviews of Simply cake by Purilum. I also tried Google fu-not much info out there. Anyone here try it? Is it worth mixing? I want to make a simple cake and icing flavor for sister.

I really feel like I’m talking to myself today. All the random folks must be busy. Red didn’t even check in this morning.

But anyway I just have one more recipe for a chocolate coffee/cream etc. I’m not overly excited about the recipe so I’m going to skip it for now til I have something better. I have room for another 3-4 mixes but out of ideas ATM.

IDK. I’ve been happy enough with FW white cake and FLV pound cake.

I'm assuming you're joking skeebs?

Unfortunately not.. I've been dealing with this issue for close to 30 years. I guess I just took the term intestinal fortitude literally.

Morning Mixers! I ordered the new Ninja Smart Pro Grill the other day and it not only shipped yesterday but it'll be here today. Can't wait for it! One day you're young and partying, and the next you're excited for an air fryer!

I have a Ninja, they're awesome.

I have FLV pound cake. What % do you use for a cake base? LOL its been sitting and waiting to be mixed.

For solo I’d probably go with 1.5%

I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned that before. I’m sorry your suffering with that stuff,

Sorry that you have to deal with this. Before going under the knife..get a few opinions.

Thanks Fran..

I will, definitely. I really would like to avoid getting opened up if possible. My doctor advised fasting and eating one meal a day to try to minimize stress on the 3 problem areas...

I had my first colonoscopy 25 years ago at 50 years old. I was barely awake and doctor told me to see a surgeon asap. They removed about 10 to 12 inches of my colon, stage one cancer. Surgeon told me within a year I would have been dead, Here I am 25 years later talking about it, good luck.

Probably good advice if you can do it. Maybe two small meals would be about the same?

I mixed this during my last session. It's very odd and I kind of like it, which surprises me a good deal, given the cactus.

The Glaistig (recipe by RuntDastardly, on ELR)

2.00% Absinthe (TPA)
1.00% Aurora (FA)
0.50% Black Currant (Flavorah)
0.50% Cactus (Kaktus) (INAWERA)
7.00% Forest Fruit (Forest Mix) (FA)
0.25% Mixed Mint (INAWERA)
0.25% Raspberry (Malina) (INAWERA)

Flavor total: 11.51%
Steep time: 1 week minimum

I subbed FLV Black Currant for the FA. Same percentage.

I unsubscribed to most. Still get too much other crap. I should unsubscribe everything.

Since I unsubscribed from most places I'm down to getting 4-6 valid emails per day. AT&T does a really good job of filtering out the junk/scam emails. Those never show up in my inbox, they go straight to Junk.

When I first arrived in NYC, my friends took me out for lunch to Katz's deli. So I ordered a sandwich (hot pastrami was recommended by all). So I ordered a pastrami sandwich, fully expecting something like a Swedish sandwich I was used to--opened face, a very thin slice of rye, a slice of gravad lax, a slice of cucumber and a sprig of dill.

I placed my order and the waiter brought: A gigantic closed face sandwich containing 1 lb. of hot pastrami, a platter of pickles, a bowl of cole slaw, and a basket of bagel chips. A small tray filled with assorted jams and butter, extra mustard, mayo and other condiments were already on the table.

Took me several days to finish that sandwich. Thank goodness for doggy bags!

Oh heavens, gross. I could never eat that. For me, remove all but one slice of meat, one slice of bread halved, fine, add some raw veggies, perfect, plus room temp water. Then again, I won't eat pastrami. Small portions, for a meal work best for me.

I don't eat unless I am hungry. Humans don't need a breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in-between and after meals. America has a major eating problem and it totally shows. That and sugar(s).

I’m slogging through too. So far today, the strawberry cheese shake (Skeebo posted), second bottle same recipe but swapped in razzleberry, and ELR country pie nw (apple cheesecake pie). Next up, giant bottle of your cheesecake base, and at least one yoghurt drink recipe. Having trouble picking one

 

[ShowMeTwice]

A MUST GO TO when in NYC . . . The only place to go to get a "True" Pastrami Sandwich . . . Corn Beef AND Potato Knish, ain't bad either . . . Hope the Pickles included the garlic ones . . . Just Sayin'. . .

No thanks, I'll pass. In my career I traveled to NYC a lot. Mostly ate fish or vegetarian meals.
