We're in clubs you don't want to be in. I have Trigeminal Neuralgia so it's 'just' the nerve in my lower jaw. When it flares with lightning bolts of pain, can't eat, talk, cough, sneeze, kiss, etc. Fortunately, that only happens every few years now. I'm on a mega dose of gabapentin (well tolerated except when I'm overtired, and brain fog takes over). The doctor is reluctant to have me try to taper down or replace it with something else because it's so hard to get back under control when it flares. The added medication that works to calm the flare is toxic to my liver. Fun times, not!

Laundry started, next up is some mixing. I can clean the house later, there are priorities! :lol:
Yup, I went through the full gambit of drugs, being a test dummy for pain management "doctors". Gaba is fast release, and did nothing to flatten the waves of pain. But the doctor had no problem prescribing 1800mg doses to try as their test dummy. I got all sorts of "Doctors are Professionals" memories that I don't care to relive....lol. We're all unique when it comes to the CNS.

    have some new ideas for mixing........... rough ideas, atm

    still working out the details and which flavors i'll use for each one............
    I have a creamy question that you may be able to help me with Mate?! I'd like to think you'd be able to assist since you recommended this one to me! I have a couple of Croissant recipes that are ready to mix up and I've decided use some Clotted Cream!!!
    So Let's Get Clotty:w00t: I'm using a combination of clotted cream and custard premium(FA) which you say go not too bad together!! I would just like to clarify the percentages of each that is good use to make a lovely cream! I've popped the Clotted Cream in at 1% and the Custard at 1.5% but that can definitely be changed:thumb:

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good afternoon. I had to spend some quality time with the checkbook. I mostly check the bank through my app and fell behind on the register. Still trying to get used to this two week pay period.

    I think I’m going to go ahead and order the cabinet for the basement. I have free shipping from Sam’s and it’s marked down $30. It’ll be a good time to organize some stuff down there.

    Clotted cream and custard premium are a match made in DIY'ers paradise Mate!!!

    1% clotted cream and 1.5% custard premium would be very tasty, splendid even, in a croissant mix.

    If you wanted more of custard premium's lovely flavor in your mix, just bump it up a wee bit.

    :)

    That's a great plan I think. :thumbs:
