Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I am up at this insane hour doing a load of laundry because I have this irrational fear of my water freezing in the cellar even though the furnace has been running almost nonstop. At this time it is -7.

I didn't forget the granola.I actually found that I mixed 2 recipes with the granola..I'll be trying the Bourbon Crunch Granola today. The other one is a Cranberry Granola Bar,

 

[FranC]

I kinda put off trying the Granola mixes cause I was thinking they would be too sweet. I'm actually liking this mix.

Bourbon Crunch Granola Bar
FLV Granola .5%
WF SC Mascarpone .75%
FLV Bourbon 1%
FLV Milk and Honey 1%
Cap Whipped Cream 1.5%

Not sure where the motivation or burst of energy came from this afternoon but I ended up mixing up 7 or 8 recipes several new ones. Hopefully they’ll come out better than some from my last batch.

I was getting “low” on juice since I’ve been whittling down my backup stash. I just had so much made. I learned the hard way that for me to just mix up 15-20 mls of most juices unless it’s my nightly lemon custard or strawberry cheesecake. Then I make 40mls at a time with presteeped custard or cheesecake base.

Today I made 4 snv’s and a few that need a couple of days steeping then just one that could use at least 3-3 weeks. So hopefully I’ll be set for daytime vape juice.

Does anyone else vape certain types of juices at specific times of the day or am I a weirdo. Well I know I’m a weirdo but am I more weird than the average bear lol!

For example, in the morning I vape mostly milk, cream or danish type juice. In the afternoon it’s anything goes- lots of fruits though. Then in the evening after about 9pm I go to my lemon custard, apple tart or cheesecakes.

I could never have an adv!!! Well I guess if I had to work out of the house I’d have to but being home all day and mostly dripping I vape 7-8 different juices throughout the day.

Oh I just remembered my doc doubled my antidepressant and I feel like I’m on speed lol!

For my nighttime vape I usually latch on to something right now it’s Juicy Strawberry Cheesecake every night. Not during the day though.

Do you have a recipe for your Lemon Custard? Love me some Lemon Custard/Cheesecake.

Might be good. The Brandy will give it a different taste. The Whipped Cream not so much.

Now I have to find the recipe for my Cranberry Granola Bar.

Uhm, now which Whipped Cream? TFA or FA?

 

[FranC]

Uhm, now which Whipped Cream? TFA or FA?

I don't have the Fa but would say the TFA is probably closer to the Cap.

 

[Heartsdelight]

I don't have the Fa but would say the TFA is probably closer to the Cap.

Thanks!

[DavidOck]

Obviously I don’t eat many vegetables unless you consider French fries a vegetable lol!!

Of course they are, they're potato. May I also suggest the occasional pizza? After all, they can have all the food groups

Try a sweet cream but lower it to under 1%

I have vanilla swirl or vienna cream... either possibles? I haven’t tried vc, but have used vanilla swirl to sub for milk/cream before

Go with the Vanilla swirl. Vienna has its own distinct flavoring and may (or not) interfere with the overall profile of the recipe.

I love it. It is smoother than FA or JF with no harshness. Use this wherever you want an authentic sweet red apple. It is juicier than FA or JF too, but not as juicy as the VTA Granny Smith (another winner.) You can't go wrong with VTA Fuji.

Putting this information into my notes because I love apples (can't eat them raw anymore though )...

Um, how do I NOT already have a section on apples??? So... gimme your best apples, please.

Different whipped cream?

 

[FranC]

Different whipped cream?

Nevermind. I wasn't paying attention.

I found the recipe for my Cranberry Granola Bar. Might try that one in awhile or by tomorrow anyway.

My BCF order is out for delivery and my neighbor/friend will fetch my mail later this afternoon. I plan on redoing at least my chocolates in one case and I have one new chocolate coming in my order.
