    Thats why I have mine in flavor categories. SB is with the other SB's. Cream is with the creams, nuts are with the nuts and so on.
    That's what I do with my cases also. My drawer divider is basically the same way. Any odd stuff goes in the drawer. I'm behind in listing flavors and putting them away.

    Plans for today? I have a tentative 4 recipes to mix. Have to finish working out 2 of them but that's pretty easy. Now to see what I actually get done.I need to try at least one flavor from the steeped stuff also.

    Good morning flavorers. I thought I might mix some today but I doubt it. Unfortunately, I have too much else to do. I think the husband has shingles. It's looking like it anyway. I have no clue how I am going to manage his healthcare from a distance. I told him to go to Urgent care, but he hasn't yet.

    May be time to bet higher on the Russian roulette wheel of "how much should I bet on my spouse's death per month life insurance." It's not that Shingles is all that fatal (I think) it's more that it's a disease of age, kinda.

    I hope he has a minor case, that or having to deal with chronic pain all the time with his neck makes him just unfazed.

    See? Moving is stressful. One of us has been sick every since my new job. LOL. Oh well.

    My husband has yet to like a single flavor I've made that he has tried. I made him try my fizzy ginger ale and brandy mix in my doggy style on my dicodes. He said it tasted "Exactly as advertised, but it was also foul."

    Oh well he likes tobacco mixes.

    I had them over my right eye all last week. Getting the anti-viral fast is the key and it still hurts really bad. I took pics as mine prgressed and it grosses me out. Tell him to go NOW. Sooner the better

    Anna, hope he goes to the doc asap. If they get near the eyes or brain, can be a really bad thing. Also, he should get the vaccine once he is over them as they can come back.

    I didn't think I could get shingles because I never got chicken pox even after multiple exposures. Dr. said I had to have had them, just didn't have any symptoms at all.

    Yeah, I know. There is no reasoning with him. He says Monday.

    I would have gotten the vaccine ALREADY (I still remember my chicken pox from like, age 4 and my parents took a video of me naked, twirling around as my rash was so epic. Also, what was WRONG with them?) but my current insurance won't pay for it until I am 55. If my new one does, I'm getting it ASAP.

    He says Monday. I did mention and make him read that you need antivirals ASAP, but short of knocking him out (I guess I have a few meds laying around) it will be Monday.

    Oh well, HE is gonna have to live with it, not me. Apart from the whining I hear in my future,

    I got totally lucky, mine stayed out of my eye but went all the way around it. I have to wait to get the vaccine as its out everywhere. Im actually on a list

    Been dragging my feet making a couple bottles for the wife and father in law. Last night and this morning I tried two flavors with 7 days steep, the Creme Brulee Cheesecake and my version of Dole Whip. I was not 100% impressed with the Creme Brulee, not bad but I feel like it needs more cheesecake and crust, comes off more as a custard right now. We'll see how it is in another week.
    The Dole whip is good but still tastes more like cooked pineapple than what I wanted. I have sfts going on four pineapple flavors and will get into that one again.
    Later today I'll try some LMT (VTA) with INW Biscuit and CAP Vanilla Custard v1 after 7 day steep.

    My mixing schedule today-
    Red Berry Pink Champagne-
    6% Pink Champagne FW
    1.5% Red Touch Strawberry FA
    1% Raspberry PUR

    Butterscotch Pudding-
    3 %Butterscotch FW
    1% Butterscotch Cream Pie WF
    1% Biscuit INW
    2.5% Custard INW

    Coffee with Franz-
    1.25% Drk Bean Coffee Espresso FA
    1.5% Sweet Cream CAP
    1% Fresh Cream FA
    1% Chocolate Chunks WF
    2.5% Hazelnut V2 CAP
    1% Shisha Vanilla INW

    Whelp color me surprised he got up, grabbed coffee and went. There was a lot of cursing and ranting, but that's pretty usual for going to the doctor's office.

    I think he is thinking about not wanting to be out of commission for like, fixing the house. Gotta finish my notes here in a bit, but it's nice and quiet, which is pleasant.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Its a work in progress but the new version (havent even tried yet) is
    Flv cranberry 1%
    Pur cranberry orange 3%
    FW pink cham 2%
    Cap lemon lime 3%

    I tried the pur cranberry orange solo and got almost no flavor from it. Does it require a long steep?
