Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I unloaded/loaded the dishwasher for the umpteenth time, vacuumed up the dog hair in the bedroom, then gave up and read until everyone poured back in. That was as motivated as I could get. Monday will be mixing day. The youngest’s car died exiting the highway tonight. So, I’ll be carless until she gets hers back.

You have a good excuse though with a houseful of company. I'm afraid I've just been lazy. Really hoping to try a new
mix tomorrow.

I still need to get the cookie recipes mixed. I have red dates coming. Saw a food recipe for dates stuffed with mascarpone, pomegranate seeds and chopped pecans. Trying to figure out a juice recipe out of that. But first, at least two cookies, the creme brulee cheesecake, and the Pink Kiwi recipes.

I'm behind. Never heard of the Red Dates.

I transferred all the screenshots of recipes I had on my phone from this thread and named them so I’d know what they are. I think I finally have everything to make the strawberry crumble recipe.

This is what happens when I spend too much time looking at every flavor BCF carries . That’s how I ended up with starfruit. I was thinking dates might be a less sweet option for fig. We’ll see. I like dates irl.

If anyone needs PG or VG, Bulk Apothecary's coupon code for Free Ground Shipping to the lower 48 states, with $25 or more order...is still in effect until midnight. You can get a gallon of each for $33.12 delivered to your door, unless you live in OH and will pay tax. Or...2 gallons of VG to your door (if you make max VG DIY) would be just $29.20 using the coupon. It's very high quality PG & VG, too.

Code is: SHIPFREE

They have other codes for 16% off any size order, or $10 off an order of $35 or more that are good until tomorrow at midnight, but...the Free S/H saves you more because it's $14.50 usually.

Just curious...is their Shortbread available only directly from Inawera? 'Cause BCF carries the other 3.

DIYVS is the only USA supplier, that I am aware of. I thought Chefs Flavours (UK supplier) also offered it; but I just checked, and I couldn't find it.

Good morning,folks It is my goal again to try a new mix. Maybe I'll make it today.

Let me know what the dates taste like. Sweetness and stuff.

I find VTA Red Dates to be sweet - just like dates in real life. I've only made one recipe so far with it (a date cookie thing) but I like it. I need to do more experimenting with it for sure.

So...All those flavors I had bought a bit back...
I really haven't done squat with them.
They ended up in 3 plastic shoe box type things in the cabinet, hard to get out, hard to see what's in the boxes...
Maybe I should start with making a sheet for each box with it's contents.

I did mix up some of the Gingerbread Cookie (SF 4%)...it's ok, but there is a deep heavy taste to it that gives it a "thick" taste to me.

Oh - the Apple Pie (SF 4%) has also been a winner.

Horchata has really been a stay with for me tho.

DH has been using the Fruity Circles...odd thing - I smell pine on his exhale

 

[hittman]

I’ve been using the horchata since I got it. I like it solo at 6%. I’m still trying the Xmas pudding. I like it well enough. I should probably try it in a tank to see if there’s much difference between it and my rda.

I'm about to try a new mix. I picked Pecan Shortbread.

I need some math help. My brain isn't working well today. I have a 10% dilution. I want to use this dilution at .4% in a 15ml bottle. How much do I need?

This morning I made the Creme Brulee Cheesecake posted on this thread with YWCC. Dripped a couple drops and it seems nice, the yes we cc seems very buttery. Going to steep for a week at least. Also made a pineapple whip with INW pineapple as the main with 2 other pineapples along with juicy orange and CAP Sweet Cream.
Today I'm trying a mix of
3% INW Pear
3% TPA Pistachio
1% FLV Milk and Honey
It's pretty much what I was going for, still want to play with honey flavors and increase pistachio (other types) without increasing nuttiness.
I'm not into tobacco flavorings but I know that would be a nice addition, Dark Honey, sweet tobacco, also caramel flavors...
VT Lemon Maringue Tart - man that is tasty stuff. Tastes exactly (no surprise) like one of my favorite store bought liquids, "Sublime" by SVRF e-liquid, which is a lemon pastry. I mixed it at 6% with 1% INW Biscuit and 1% CAP Vanilla Custard V1.

Looking forward to how the cheesecake comes out. I used the YWCC in a cheesecake base a week or 2 ago. Haven’t tried it yet. But the sft I did Friday was enough to make me drool lol! Same with the VT Lemon Meringue Tart!! Can’t wait to hear about that mix too!!

I did something similar except transferred screen shot recipes into my elr recipe book. Still have a million to go.

I need to put a stop on all my screenshots. It’s getting obsessive.

 

[hittman]

That’s my next step. I got them on the computer and next I’ll get them on elr.
