    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    I have an appointment this morning to get my CPAP machine. I'm going to borrow my mother's car for the drive since mine is in the shop and my truck isn't up to the trip. Tomorrow I get the mouthpiece from the dentist. I will be full blown cyborg at night now.

    Morning, mixers,

    The rain seems to be backing off a bit, and tomorrow is said to be a nice day. Always tomorrow! :lol: Then back to scattered showers, so the usual nice until one goes out to do some work. :rolleyes:

    We have got Øsa home, she was very thin after raising 6 well-born children, but she has started to put on weight.
    Here, one of hers:

    Just be sure you train 'em right ;)

    I chuckle when I read everyone posting about Fat Rabbit's, Dead Rabbit's and Hellbeast's ...o_O... I ain't into obese or dead rabbits. And a hellbeast? What da ferk!

    Y'all are sicko's! Ya, ummm... just teasing (maybe ;)). :D :lol: :lol:
    Even though I own some I agree about the funny names.

    Caramel anyone??? :D I love my caramels. ;)

    Here are four of my caramel recipes. A caramel base, caramel cookie, caramel cake and a caramel ice cream. I'm enjoying the caramel cookie and caramel ice cream today.

    Caramel Base

    FA Caramel 2%
    VTA Creme Caramel 1.25%
    SSA Milky Caramel Fudge 1%
    FW Caramel Candy 0.5%
    FA Butterscotch 1%

    I've been working on that for some time. Getting the percentages right where I wanted them was a wee bit of a challenge. IMO no caramel is complete without a butterscotch. Butterscotch enhances and brings out more caramel flavor.

    IMO there is no one single caramel concentrate that offers a "Full and Well Rounded Caramel Profile". Over the years I've come up with several caramel variations. Some sucked while others have been excellent. I'd rate this one as excellent.

    Caramel Cookie ---> add the following to the Caramel Base

    JF Biscuit 1%
    FA Cookie 0.5%
    WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.5%

    Caramel Cake ---> add the following to the Caramel Base

    FW Creamy Sponge Cake 3%
    FW White Cake 2%
    WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.5%
    WF Cream Filling 1%

    Caramel Ice Cream ---> add the following to the Caramel Base

    VTA Vanilla Ice Cream 2%
    SSA Ice Cream Vanilla 1.5%
    SSA Ice Cream 1%

    I have many notes on the above but excluded those as I really didn't want to take up an entire page. It's already loooong! :D :lol:

    Suggested steep time = 4 weeks / as always... YMMV

    Other flavors that will work with any of the above are almond, apple, banana, chocolates, macadamia nut, peanut.

    @Fredman1, tagging you Mate, cuz I know you are a connoisseur of all things caramel. :w00t:

    @Zazie can you please add these to your blog? Thank you! :)

    Yeah, I guess it might creep people out to run around saying, "Oh wow, I really love my Dead Rabbit! I carry it everywhere!"

    I just finished trimming nails on our dogs. Always an adventure. One doesn't mind at all, just lays there. The other two can get pretty feisty. And then there's my Carli dog ...:facepalm:... she is a royal PITA for getting her nails cut. But in the end, success, 72 nails trimmed, zero bleeders.

    I'll do the cats tomorrow. Another adventure.
