Random DIY mixing and More

[WhiteHighlights]

Need to pick brains on stuff .
First thing is , what would you mix with a croissant base?

I'm thinking about doing an almond croissant, making an almond/cream filling. Following SMT's practice, I searched for some recipes online - one suggested adding rum for a little extra zip. I like that idea.

I like custard/apricot, which I know isn't your cup of tea. Croissants can be filled with everything. Rhubarb jam? cranberry?
bilberry?

I like the Boozy suggestion. I’m slacking on Boozy mixes.

What about bourbon/chocolate/nut
Or bourbon/ either pineapple or pear, if you’re feeling daring and haven’t totally given up on those two. IRL, either of those pair well with bourbon.

I was eligible until my retirement kicked in and that put me over the limit.

Sorry to hear that . . .

I need help from the ladies, maybe the guys? I’ve decided on a gift basket for my oldest Dd. I have a nice cloth basket to use BUT what do you get the woman that has everything?

A woman can never have enough facial creams etc....maybe some Clarins stuff??

A cordless drill seems like an odd thing to put in a gift basket.

Drills with cords are so 1950's though...

So there is a "normal" normal, and then a "Skeebo" normal.

I ate a salad for dinner.

Any berry will do. Any type fruit will also.

Cream and Custard.....some pastries have both a custard and fruit here made from a standard croissant dough.

Ok,let’s try this instead. What would you mix with an ice cream base?

I'm vaping your ice-cream base with 2% WF vanilla custard added right now and it's delicious....fairly sweet though.

Skeebo's normal is the same as my normal with a bit more normal added. I'm completely normalised

Absolutely beautiful day today. Wall to wall blue. Temps are dropping though 20°C today and gradually getting a bit cooler than that in the next few weeks. Not much rain anytime soon although November is generally our rainy month... we'll see.

Have a good day

Good morning mixers. I’ll have to make the dog go out this morning since she’ll be home alone all day. Not a big deal since sometimes she doesn’t go out all day when we’re home.

I had to rewick the new Blotto last night. Evidently I over stuffed the cotton the first time and was getting slightly dry hits. Much better now.

Actually, the Raspberry Jam is good used sparingly. Making a cream and nut or fruit filling is something I didn't think of . Noting more ideas. Thanks

Thanks The pear is going by by but still have the pineapple to mess with.

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

Just my usual. Coffee, vape, and working on my diamond painting. I'm 3/4 done with it now and got to finish it soon as the Thanksgiving picnic auction is coming up in a few weeks.

Good morning folks
I have been to a chiropractor, and 30 minutes on the spinning bike. Feels good afterwards, especially when you have a little frayed nerves, it is good to feel that the body can do something physical.

It may happen that I buy one or two blocks of wood during the day, my mod projects at least are not made easy, will be from Thailand or Ukraine, we'll see.

IMO deer are beautiful creatures.

We are not hard hunters, it will probably happen that everything will be perfect and one deer will be sacrificed, but that is not a priority for us.
I myself have not carried a weapon to the forest since 2014.
Once, in 2004, I traveled to Sweden on a hunt with one of my Swedish dachshunds, to the breeder and his childhood friends, 16 hours driving one way, I did not bring a weapon.
