    Just got everything put away from Sam’s Club. Three items on a list turned into many more but that’s ok since most were grocery items. We did pick up a nice crockpot that came with a carrying bag. Our old one has a metal insert and the coating is starting to wear.

    Sounds like time for a new crock pot to me.

    Just threw some stuff in the oven for dinner. Neither one of us felt like cooking. Thank goodness for frozen food.

    I found three donut recipes on ATF that I want to try. I did sub some flavors and left out the super sweet. I just don’t usually understand adding sweeteners when the flavors in the recipe are already sweet. I might try to mix those later.

    So, what did you think of this one? I like it because it meets my main (very low) standard: I can tell what it is supposed to be. As I've mentioned, I don't like much of anything that I vape, so I settle for being happy when I can taste something.

    Some folks like really sweet mixes.

    Nicely put. I have a similar problem. Guess that's why I like menthol and meringue. And ginger, marzipan and suchlike. They are right there in your face. Lately I've started trying fruits, just have to hike the % way up from what most folks use and add something like meringue or lots of cream or vanilla.

    I guess it’s good that you have some things you can taste well.

    My gs has tons of the dang things,
    I like working on "tedious" things like e-juice, rebuilding RTAs, garden work/trimming plants, and building legos. I only recently started my mid-life crisis and buying lego sets, and having a lot of fun with it. It was my favorite toy as a child. I like to stay busy, if you all couldn't tell by any previous posts. So once your gs gets bored of them, send them my way :lol:

    Anyone else here goof around with legos? :greengrin:
    Didn't have that when I was growing up. We couldn't afford to import stuff back then. We had a locally made construction kit called Bayko. And after the war the Germans started producing endless versions of popular building toys for export. Even in their dire straits back then they just couldn't help making them overengineered to the max. For a few years they produced a bunch of the best quality kids building kits ever made. All lost to history now.

    If someone gave me a Bayko set today I would start goofing around with it for sure. But they stopped making it in the 60's I think.

    I did manage to get two of the three donut mixes done. I’ll do the other one tomorrow.

    I did a remix on the Haunted ice cream and left out the ssa vanilla ice cream. It’s much less sweet now and I’m liking it. I couldn’t even taste the haunted on the first mix. So here’s a simple mix if anyone wants to try it.

    Stixx Haunted 8%
    WF ice cream toffee 1.5%
    Flv cream 1%

    Man, I had no idea about all that. That's really cool. Kind of sad some of these companies with impeccable products and services didn't last the test of time when they probably deserved to. I grew up in the 90s. 2023 is almost as long ago as WWII was to when I was born.
