Howdy, mixers, hoping all is well with you and yours 
For those of you who are Dinner Lady Lemon Tart fans, early feedback on this recipe (via VU) suggests that this mix by IggyZ just about nailed it,
I haven't ever had the original nor have I mixed this, but someone who has mixed many other attempts says that this just about nails it, perhaps a wee bit light on the lemon.

@gloopdegurp thank you for this. LT is my 2nd favorite of all time. Of course, I don't have the FA Apple Pie, wouldn't you know?
And my 3rd favorite, if anyone is interested, is Dinner Lady Mango Tart. Fortunately, I caught a sale and about bought them out way back when so I probably have 20 or more of 50ml bottles of it.

Not as much of lack of preparedness, as lack of necessity to have to spend all the money to clear roads, etc. It's cheaper to shut down for a day or two. The "once in a century storm" a couple of years ago is actually not THAT unusual. It has happened before in my lifetime (i think it was new years day 1976), and the electricity came back on in a few hours. The difference this time was the added strain due to the rapid population increase and greater reliance on wind power. Those windmills are garbage. They are ugly, unreliable, and have a limited lifespan, perhaps 25 years or so.

I didn't see any mention in the VU thread yet and I think I saw a post about it elsewhere so might try and find that again to see if anyone else has asked or had a suggestion.
I was thinking maybe FE Lemon as I've read that it's considered one of the better lemons out there by some folks. I was thinking to compare flavor notes between the CNV and FE if I give it a try, but I've never had the og LT so wouldn't know if they are that different anyway.
Hmm, reading SessionDrummer's notes on the CNV, he mentioned that he found no direct/close comparison for it, at the time he did his review anyway.
Looking at a few other lemons though, perhaps SSA Natural or Sour Type might get you by in a pinch.
Good evening. Evidently there was one and maybe two shooting incidents at the Union Station area where the Super Bowl festivities were downtown today. I’ve gotten some information second hand but am going to watch the news.
Waving Hi to y’all random folks 
Can I get a Hi??
Can I get a Hi??
Good thing about FE Lemon is it doesn't fade like most lemon flavors do.
I think that is a good choice. I have never noticed any fading with DL Lemon Tart.
Hi, Fran, I hope all is well 'round your neck of the woodsWaving Hi to y’all random folks
My Sourcemore order is in the house. It's nothing special, just a couple of Innokin Sensis and coils for them, for use while I'm at work.
Wind turbine technology is very well proven throughout the world. They are quite reliable and serve their intended purpose. Everything, from coffeemakers to wash machines to vehicles etc. etc., have limited lifespans.
Added strain due to population increases in Texas falls upon ERCOT and their ability to forecast and prepare for such changes. ERCOT, the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Texas Legislature have all failed Texans when it comes to the energy needs of Texas' citizens.
Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is to blame for the ~13000 non-winterized wind turbines across Texas. That's the reason why many (most) of Texas' wind turbines failed a few years back during that Arctic Blast.
"[...] ice collected on a number of turbines in Texas’ February freezing spell, causing them to shut down to avoid damage or destruction from load imbalances and vibrations and to keep them from slinging chunks of ice across the landscape."
That does not, and has never, happened with the numerous winterized wind turbines here in Wisconsin, in the other northern states or elsewhere in the world.
"Wind turbines spin in Antarctica, in Quebec and in Norway, even through severe winters. The story is the same in Iowa, North Dakota and even Arctic Russia."
Texas' decision to be wholly independent of the lower 48 states power grid was very unwise. Reliance on very old coal and natural gas plants is also unwise. Texas coal plants average about 50 years of age, gas plants average about 30.
Coal supplied power is, well, disgusting at best. Energy sourced from coal should be abandoned. It causes more problems for humanity, problems we can ill afford.
"Air pollution from coal-fired power plants is linked with asthma, cancer, heart and lung ailments, neurological problems, acid rain, global warming, and other severe environmental and public health impacts." ---> here
The indisputable fact based sources for the above quotes are here and here.
Renewable energy solutions utilizing both solar and wind are currently the only intelligent way forward. Especially when one considers the dire implications and ramifications of global warming going forward.
One only needs to pay close attention to what is currently going on in our world to understand that. Biased politics, uneducated politicians, are ill-prepared when faced with the proven facts and data of climate science, which are backed by decades of unassailable facts. Facts that are well understood and agreed upon by 99.6% of "global" climate scientists.
In the end, there may be no stopping global warming as the direct result of human activities. However, making prudent and intelligent decisions, based on scientific fact and expertise, may slow the effects of global warming (for a time).
This is a "global problem" and one that all of Life on the Earth faces AND all should be "More Than Willing" to work together, minus biases, to abate as much as possible. For crying out loud, the women and men who put people on the Moon, and continue to send missions into space, are fully able to set aside silly frivolities for the greater good of the missions.
This global problem is not going to go away on its own. No god is coming to the rescue. Truth be told, it falls wholly upon the shoulders of humanity, working together as One, to implement solutions (non-political/non-religious).
Putting "heads in the sand" and ignoring the problem is completely unacceptable at this late stage. Per climate scientists (the only Experts) things are only going to get rougher, climate-wise, around the globe as time passes.
And yeah, I know people tire of hearing "for the children".......... the global problem we are facing today is one our children's children children et al. will have to deal with, if we, Here and Now, fail them.
The clock is ticking..............

FE Lemon. It does not fade. And it is a really good lemon.
Over time I've collected the following lemon notes from posts by @Letitia - lemons are her, ummm, thing.
SC - Super Concentrate suspected to be the same as FE - Flavor Express. I think this is probably true. Both lean a bit to the candy side but not as sweet and don't fade. Excellent lemons.
INW - inawera lemon mix, lemon zest and very strong. Perfect for lemonades and anywhere you want to add that lemon bite or add some pop to a fruit mix.
VT - vape train lemon sour, needs some time for the sour to show up (10-14 days) but not too sour, no pucker. Still a lovely lemon.
INW plain lemon is reformulated and not supposed to be very good. I have a sft mixed and I'll let you know. Read the closest thing to the old INW lemon is probably HC - health cabin.
I have sft mixed of:
Hangsen lemon
SA - solub arome, lemon frosted
SA lemon meringue
On the wish list:
MF - medicine flower lemon
SA Italian lemon
HC lemon
FLV and LA are my go to lemonades. LA is tasty, sweeter, and juicy lemonade . FLV is a perfect slightly dry lemonade.
AND
FE lemon, awesome, doesn't fade, bright, nice mix of natural & candy
VT sour lemon, needs a decent steep of 10-14 days but so worth the wait, pairs beautifully with any other lemons, great as an additive to help berries pop
VT lemon meringue tart, brighter lemon, little lacking in crust but a good one shot or mixer
WF lemon squares, lemon is close to a curd, nice sweet crust, reminds me of chesscake, creamy
MF lemon, ultra, more a compliment to other lemons for me, expensive but 0.3-0.5% is about as high you'll use it in any mix
TFA lemon and lemon mix paired are quite lovely for a lemonade or yogurt, I like to use them with the VT sour lemon
Frankly if I could only have two lemons they would be the VT sour and the FE. On another note the CAP LMP holds up well in a mix, just need to add another lemon for a boost. If you like a sweet lemon SA lemon meringue is very good. If you like a dryer lemonade FLV is good.
ETA: Forgot to add, also per Letitia:
My current lemon go tos are:
FE (SC) lemon; nice bright candy lemon and doesn't fade
SSA natural lemon; lovely slightly dry lemon, pairs well with FE & VT sour lemon
VT sour lemon; more tart and juicy than sour, for me the "sour" shows up better at lower percentages (0.5 - 1.5)
WF lemon custard; beautiful not cloying mouthfeel, slightly sweet, nice easy going lemon, useful used low to add body & enhance other fruits (especially berries or yogurt mixes)
and
MF lemon
INW lemon, lemon mix
