Random DIY mixing and More

I need to mix my new version of Honduran Raspberry tomorrow so it gets steeped.

 

[FranC]

Noted.

Guess I better give my new upcoming chocolate NET mix a name

 

[Zazie]

It was revised to Apriberry Dark Fire.

Yup. Already caught that and edited accordingly.

You must have mentioned that before. Mine came wrapped all alone in bubble wrap while the rest of my order lolled about together in the packaging peanuts. It’s still wrapped, in the closet, quarantined from the rest

Not me, but I can't be the first.

Every fig I’ve tried has been way too sweet

How about raisin rum? I was thinking you liked it in another recipe.

 

[hittman]

I only bought it because you recommended it lol! You and @Bronze are immortalized in the Notes on my phone for Stixx shopping and flavor pairings/ %s. I guess we’ll both know in a month!

Like I said, I found a bottle already steeped and I’m using it now. It’s not as flavorful as pops black cherry but I only mixed it at 8%. I’m going to try 10% next time.

Hello my fellow mixers!

I think..... I might have finally got everything put away. Still haven't even looked at my flavors since packing. I will need to sort through most of them to get them back in their categories. They were the last thing packed and I hurriedly threw everything in a case.

One of my terrapins started acting funny. I was worried she came down with a respiratory infection because she was swimming strange and seemed to be breathing heavy. I took her into the vet for x-rays to see if it was infection in her lungs. Instead of infection the x-rays showed 12 eggs already! It's very early in the season for her to be gravid.

I brought her back home and put her in one of my warmer tanks and moved the nesting box over for when she starts laying. It looks like it's going to be a great year.

Her is a pic of Big Mama:

I’ve missed seeing them . They’re really so lovely.

Oh thank you. Great idea.(CRS)

It’s late, my hot water heaters both decided to rust out at the same time (in my attic)....soooo, I have an all day “date” with my plumber tomorrow. An inkling of a thought of a seed of an idea is about my max right now lol.

I’ve adjusted that in my notes. I should have plenty of time to mix while the plumber is here

 

[FranC]

2 bottle labels made. 3 mixes to do

Overdo to mix a chocolate NET. Gonna be tomorrow’s project.

Do you make your own NETs?

I like the FLV Cream a lot too. I am experimenting with the Creamy Butter Mint recipe by subbing out the heavy cream with a different heavy cream. Today I mixed it with FA Whipped Cream at 2% and with CCW Devon Cream at 2%. Both of those need a few days to steep and I will report the results. The FLV Cream might well end up being the best of the bunch but it is nice to be able to offer subs so that people can use what they have on hand.

That is so considerate of you to think of what others may or may not have on hand!

Do you make your own NETs?

No and no plans of it. I buy the Stixx NETs

'Twill save me the agony of thinking of something. I was always terrible at coming up with titles when I was in the publishing biz.

I’m pretty good at giving mixes a name. Looks better on my labels

 

[FranC]

Good morning random folks .Have you any plans today?

I have finished one cup of coffee and done 3 mixes (with names). I may mix another if I can come up with a simple recipe.

Think I have an idea.

I have figured out Bronze's fatal flaw! I am telling it because I'm too tried to manifest my fatal flaw today. OH GOD I feel so sick.... I'm awake though, I'm just going to plod until I fall over.

The husband returned with not thyroid, but he did bring a Statrbucks beverage.

It's really sad when you are like, checking the floor with a flashlight, I should look under the couch I'm sure there may be SOMETHINGS there but oh got that means moving the couch.

I hate everything well not you guys but I HAVE to go to work. Sigh. Ugh.
