What happened to the mixing?

:)
We got our pup’s cremains and paw print (in clay). I spent the morning getting and putting that and her collar in a shadow box for Himself. She was really his hunting dog, and mercy, how he loved that shed monster!
Vacuuming is almost done, swap laundry... then mix. I hope. I’m going to keep telling myself that. Keeps me hustling!

Working from home and I'm the only one in the house, so I got to mixing. Found these on ELR and just whipped up the following:

Cheesecake Base V3: Described as a heavy cheesecake, which I wanted because I love a good strong cheesecake in real life and thought it would lend well to additions of fruit and other flavors down the road.

Pearberry: Pears, Cranberry, and a touch of Cinnamon? Sign me up!

Peppermint Kooler: I adore peppermint with a cold mouth feel, so giving this a go because it was stupid easy (2 flavors).

Custard King: People seemed to love it, claim that it is gentle on coils, and I love RY4, sweet, creamy stuff, so... Yeah.

My mini hand mixer is the best purchase EVER! I'm still a novice, but it only took me about 1.5 hours to mix up 170ml and my arm is not tired. :) I used 3 60ml bottles to mix 50ml each and a 30ml bottle for 20ml and it was perfect, given the liquid displacement during mixing. Score!

Anyone have experience with any of these (I fully expect FranC to say "no"... :D )?
I have a Ikea milk frother I use to speed mix instead of shaking. Works well.

    I accomplished one thing today — I added some FA Vienna Cream to the Eggnog Cheesecake to try and turn FW into an eggnog. Might be damaging the cheesecake though. Life saving attempt or it goes down the drain.
    So I gather you do not like the Eggnog Cheesecake recipe..............

    Not in its current state. FW Eggnog to my taste is more about the spices and not enough of the eggy creaminess. I am not sure what VC will do or how the cheesecake will behave with the combination since I just added it to my current bottle and did not start from scratch. I drink Starbucks Eggnog Latte this time of the year about once a week or so. Pretty soon they will be out of the eggnog as the season will be ending. Years ago when my mom was having chemo treatments, she lost a lot of weight so we made home eggnog for her (trying to put pounds on her). You are suppose to use raw eggs but we hardboiled them for obvious reasons. Smelled terrible of sulfur when we put the eggs through the blender. We decided it was a bad idea and moved on to root beer floats.

    LOL. What did you do with your marshmallow recipes?
    Still on the desk. I should have some peace over the next couple of days. Everyone has stuff to do. It’s just getting ready for them. So, the worst is over.

    My mom makes homemade custard, then folds in softly whipped cream and nutmeg and cinnamon.

    I think you can control the spices by using less of the eggnog flavoring. I used 4%. I don't know if it will fade as my bottle has steeped less than a week.
    I guess I'll consider it til the day I order. I've been known to dump things at the last minute.

    Yes, thanks I have made that one. It’s good but not the same as the OG.

    I never tried the original since it isn't my kind of vape. It certainly does smell divine though. I hope you get it JUST right.

    I’m avoiding housework... making up five beds and dusting. I feel like a bloody b&b

    That sounds like my life right now. I flew 3000 miles to run a B&B for two weeks while sick. o_O It will all be worth it. *fingers crossed*
