    Your topping sounds tasty as well!
    (I also might have that cookbook - I have more cookbooks than I do flavor concentrates)

    The maple glaze recipe that I use most often is a "cooked" type - heat the butter in a pan until bubbling.

    2 TBS Butter
    1/4 cup Maple Syrup (real, not pancake syrup)
    1 Cup powdered sugar
    optional:
    1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Melt butter with syrup over medium heat. Add sugar and whisk until smooth.

    I add the vanilla and cinnamon to the hot mixture just a bit before I'm ready to pour it on the sugar.
    I have a metal mixing bowl that I put the sugar in and then pour the hot butter/syrup mixture into that and whisk.
    It will set pretty quick. Might want to go lighter on the sugar or heavier on the syrup to gain a little more working time.
    Thanks for sharing that. I took a screenshot so I’ll have it.

    You're welcome, hitt!
    It is pretty tasty - I was just thinking today that it might take Rice Krispies Treats to another level.

    I did just edit that post as I noticed in one spot I said heat the butter until bubbling where I meant heat the butter and syrup until bubbling.
    I had it correct further on in that post but wanted to point it out.

    I used ImageFX to generate images for those testers that I posted earlier.
    My prompt for Treasured was "a Dragonfruit dragon on top of a hoard of strawberries and mangos".
    I had it generate a few images but thought it was neat in the one I chose that it made the dragon's breast look like the flesh of dragonfuit.

    Another neat one was for Faerie Clouds where it had some vanilla pods sprouting out with the faerie's wings. That one is a bit harder to pick up since it's an image on a juice bottle.

    Not really a high value thing to do but I kind of like to see what it comes up with.

    Afternoon, mixers.

    Town stuff done for another 3 weeks...

    Good reviews as usual, HItt, and happy to finally find out the new version of the Coolfire Z80 still has a 510 connection! Been (sort of) looking at it, but really don't need any more tanks, especially ones that need blister pack coils. Although as you say, good that Innokin kept to the Z ones instead of a new one that will go out of production in a year or so!

    I sold most of my higher ohm z coils but still have a fair amount of the .3 coils that I haven’t used in a while. To me it’s a little weird how they put the adjustment buttons on the side but like that better than having a fire bar.

    I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as you guys, but I have to say that being able to use Z coils on several tanks is wonderful and money saving.

    Good evening random folks. It's been a couple of days since I've posted but I've been busy, between work, Germanfest, and the house. The contractor came out today to dig trenches for all the utilities and he ended up cutting the internet cable to my mom's place. She's upset because she doesn't have TV. The cable company is coming out to fix it tomorrow, so I'm gonna call them in the morning and see if they want to run a line to my place at the same time. It would be a lot less work for them to do it at the same time. The idiots who merged the house the other day forgot to leave temporary steps AND they forgot to take the ac unit out of the house. Fortunately, it is 2 inches smaller than the doorway so it will be able to be removed, but it is harder than if they had done it right. I was going to move smaller items now, but I can only access the house via stepladder.
