    I mixed a bigger bottle of the LMP yesterday. I used FE lemon this time. After a few days I just didn’t taste the Sicily very much. I know it’s a small quantity added in the recipe but I want to taste lemon in a LMP.

    I’m going to work some more on organizing my cases today and maybe look through the screenshots I’ve taken to maybe mix a couple new ones. I still have a bunch of sft I haven’t tried so may drip a couple while working.
    Sounds like a good plan to me:)

    Ugh yesterday was an epic train wreck FAIL. All those reality TV shows that show crazy nut ball houses pre like, rehab that I thought were staged? I AM NOT SO SURE NOW. And, they are trying to RENT them to ME.

    We liked ONE place, and half liked ONE other. We also saw things that I backed hastily away from as soon as I crossed the entryway. I hope the husband did not ruin our chance at the GOOD house (long story) but otherwise.... IDK the other place was okay except the little dog would have a tiny yard and two Doberman dogs on either side. Not sure how he'd cope.....

    Also, having to come to terms that Douglas is OLD. Unless we rent another apartment (we can't little dog) it's like crazy, 1940s cabinetry and stoves and I saw things that made me faint practically. Because it's ONE thing to buy a crack house and rehab it but to just RENT and live with that stuff?

    I am gonna make the husband call them after he and I wake up I was up late last night having a giant argument. Sigh.

    I figured I'd bite the bullet and try the FLV Wheat fully prepared to dislike it as a single flavor.To my total surprise I like it. It's nothing I'd want to vape solo but a pleasant wheat flavor will be good in a lot of mixes.

    @Zazie Were you able to switch your blackberries?
    No word from Wizard Labs yet. Or from ECX about the two flavors I want to add to my order. I'm not surprised--it is the weekend, after all.

    I found OOO Rice Pudding on Amazon, shipped free. Much better deal than buying directly from OOO. I was pleased.

    I lust after Flavorah's new Back Bar Bitters.

    P.S. When testing flavors, does one generally mix 5mls?

    Oh, thank GOD like we are now filling out the application for this one house.

    It's not the border so much, it's more like..... Douglas is OLD. There isn't much incentive to update, etc. So this place actually IS livable, they updated, tore out the carpet, it is in a nice neighborhood, etc.

    But, I'm SO happy about this, the other ones were terrifying.

    We can't rent "new" condo/townhome etc because of the dog. But, I am really relieved.

    While organizing, I tried Fran’s hazelnut cookie that I mixed back in December. It’s pretty darn good. I pulled three random flavors from my last order and put them in a mix. I’ve come up with a couple keepers before doing that.

    I got my coils wicked and the cat jumped down off my lap so I'm trying the OOO Cheesecake. I don't like it.Tastes crappy to me. Gave the Smoked Plum I mixed back in July another try and it's still way too sweet. I'm liking the FLV Milk Chocolate and I am done!!.I'm pretty proud of myself for finally getting through all the sft's. I might have a couple more in my flavor drawer but I'm not even looking right now.Not looking for the sft's I have to do right now either.

    The OOO cheesecake is kind of odd. I think it might be ok in a recipe but definitely not solo.

    I'm not sure that I want to ruin a good cheesecake with it. I just plain don't like the taste.

    It's funny that I was in such a hurry for the Flapper Pie and I haven't even mixed with it yet. I think I'm not mixing more right now and that will give me time to work up a recipe I'm happy with. I actually have several recipes and recipe ideas written up for when I mix again. I really need to get through some stuff already mixed. I did this once before and it just got out of hand again,
