Tied

@IDJoel My days of slinging firewood have past but yes,I deal with bringing it in everyday this time of year. Kind of blew my knee out carrying to much weight up the front steps a couple years back so I have to be careful with that. I'm 5'3" and 110lbs soaking wet. Not as strong as I used to be but still trucking. The wood stove is on the front porch. We have a newish oil furnace in the cellar but it only runs in the coldest weather.

No way. I'm betting at 70 I'm the oldest one on this thread. But my hair is still young (very little grey) and I remain young at heart.

You have me by 15 . Count yourself lucky, I started going grey quickly in my 20’s. I’m totally white under the lovely copper brown my hairdresser applies. Trying to figure out how to transition to my “natural” color. Dye jobs monthly are expensive, and at 55, I don’t feel like a head of white hair will look out of place

Let me know about the marscapone. I tried HS IC mixed with yogurt, and that didn’t fix it. Have some cc icing to try this mixing. Today is just going to be some staples mixed. This head cold is messing with my brain cells

I will. Giving my mix 10 days.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I need that some days.

I just finished my list of mixes I want to make today but I’m not sure if I’ll get to it. Woke up with a migraine or allergy headache. Sometimes I can’t tell the difference so I took migraine AND allergy meds! Hopefully one of them will help.

Looking forward to mixing with the new cheesecake as well as the VT Sour Lemon & Fizzy Sherbet etc...

Has anyone tried the Fizzy Sherbet yet?

 

[Fidola13]

How come the Interesting Flavor Combos is closed?

@Letitia i see that in June you used the Fizzy Sherbet VT grape soda and lemon. How did that work out? It sounds interesting. Thanks.

Turns out I'm not a fizzy fan. The flavors are verygood tasting but the fizzy factor is off putting now. Did like it some at first though. I've even lost my taste for carbonated beverages, haven't had but one or two in several months. It's weird since I've been drinking soda since I was a kid. Last couple weeks I'm even backing off my beloved Monster energy drinks and drinking caffeinelaced water. vaping probably has a bit to do with the changes.

4 mixes done. Break time! Did Guava Star with pink champagne instead of lt rum, and added two drops lime tahity and dropped the pear by 1%. We’ll see what this version is like. Next up a persimmon/blood orange/ juicy orange mix. And a cherry blossom/grapefruit +??...used pomegranate first go round. Ideas???

Kinda strange

Kinda strange

I agree. It was weeks before I even noticed I wasn't drinking much soda outside of work. Thinking I've just come to prefer the water drinks because my mouth and sinuses always feel dry.

 

[NolaMel]

I gave up sodas, but I drink unsweetened (any type, no sugar or artificial) “bubbly fruit water” ( as the hubs calls it ). Outside of that, a gallon or so of coffee. I don’t get a strong fizzy out of the flavors y’all say you do.

 

[Letitia]

Doesn't make sense but it's almost like I can taste the carbonation itself.

Coffee in the morning for me and then ice water. I don't get the fizzy effect either.

I go through a pot of coffee each day at work along with a few refills on my water cup. I used to drink a lot of soda at work but only allow myself one a day after work.

I have done the same a while back. I buy Sparkling Ice water. It does have a few bubbles but no sugar and has antioxidants and vitamins. A buck for a 17oz bottle at wally world....Lots of different flavors also, like Strawberry/watermelon, Black Raspberry, Orange Mango....just a lot of variety. Is this what you use?

Let me know how the pink champagne is. My little experiment yielded no useable results.

I like the Walmart ones.Target has a ginger peach that’s good. Also,Le croix, waterloo...whatever Costco has at the time. I’ll do flat water with lime or lemon too
