Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I got both the fitbit and the garmin with rewards points from our old insurance company but they aren't that expensive. The Apple watch is a bit pricey.



Garmin does make GPS but they also make a line of fitness trackers too. Mine is very basic. I think it's called a vivosmart. I like it for checking my heart rate when I'm on the treadmill which hasn't been often enough lately. We used to earn rewards from our health insurance company for the amount of steps recorded each day. That's the reason I started wearing one but have found that I like it.

Pretty neat your Ins paid for them

@hittman 4ml zlide out for delivery.

Well I guess so this time. The stock is good but more new flavors is the no-no. (You said) and I am reminding!!

The only truly new to me are FA nut mix and FA quince ( reviews seemed to lean toward a tart apple/pear flavor....sounds like it might be not too sweet). I’m hoping it’ll work for a caramel “apple” pie recipe. The nut mix sounds like predominantly hazelnut/walnut. I want to rework a granola recipe with it and a chocolate. Do you think chocolate chunks would be the best choice?
For chocolates I have : wf choc chunks
Wf choc cookie crust
Vta dark choc
Tpa dark choc clear
Mol glamour choc

Yes, that's where it came from. Cheaper.

For a granola recipe, I would pick wf chocolate chunks unless you really like dark chocolate cause the vt dark chocolate is spot-on for me. The Mol glamour chocolate is good but not my fav.

My last couple of orders from FT did not go well. Now, I don't know which shipping option to use. My earlier orders took about three weeks to arrive, which is acceptable as long as you can rely on it.

Oh, and let me know how the quince is but keep in mind I can't taste apple.

Looks too much like beet juice.

Mmm, beet juice.

Speaking of which, I put a bit of leftover pickled-beet liquid in today's smoothie. Pretty good. Just as well: I have a couple of quarts of it.

I may make 5ml of both, just to compare. Love dark chocolate!!! I was afraid it would take over the mix, that’s why I was leaning towards choc chunks

Well, I hope our tastes are close on chocolate because the VT is so close to the actual taste of dark chocolate it surprised me. Maybe you should do a sft?

Not mine. Still hasn't updated since the 5th. I got a tracking number on the minifit but it hasn't moved yet.

I have a Chocolate Chunks SFT ready to go this week. Of all the chocolate SFTs I have ready this is the one I'm most curious about. Sounds like it's not a dark chocolate. I guess I'm hoping it tastes like a Hershey's bar or Kiss (my favorite chocolate). The other one that interests me is Chocolate Mousse. I'm hoping that's kind of a bright chocolate.

Those are my 2 fav's. Wondering if you will like them as well.
