    I think I'm up to 20+ bottles to wash. I take them apart, rinse the pieces and put into the bag until I'm ready to do a real wash. I have a shelf in a kitchen cabinet with my stock of mixed juice in an insulated lunch bag (bought on special for something else and I re-purposed it. It's kind of handy) and coiling/wicking supplies in an old cosmetic bag. The bag of bottles to be cleaned are taking over the shelf, that's when I know it's time to wash them. Next weekend...(maybe!)
    As I live with my daughter all my stash is in my room and I don’t have the room to collect many empty bottles so I clean pretty regularly

    Not by a whole lot. The triton coils I got when a b&m was closing. I don’t think I paid more than $10 for the lot of them. Since they were where I bought everything, it made sense to get them all. Plus, I’m a cheapskate at heart. I love a useful bargain!
    Well if they were that cheap I might have bought a bunch too.

    Limited room for your stash may be actually good. I almost wish I didn’t have my own room because I feel I’d be less messy with a smaller space. As it is right now, the major mess in there, with boxes strewn about making it hard to negative really affects my ability to be productive. But I’m so daunted by the clean up; it seems like it’s as though I’m emptying a lake with a spoon!

    Don’t make a big job of it. Do a little each day and you’ll get there.

    I had to mix some more lemon blueberry cake so I went ahead and mixed a small bottle of the bittersweet cheesecake to steep.
    Cool. Hope it’s not too tart for you. Might want to cut down a tad on the plain cheesecake. I used more when I first mixed the recipe. After awhile I didn’t want it bitter just a bit tart. There is little to no sweetness

    That’s helpful. I have mixed feelings about levels of tartness

    Has anyone tried pur condensed milk? For the life of me I don’t know why I ordered it.
    Someone recently posted about it and said it was horrible... but if you must I suggest mixing it with caramel and cinnamon (it's great in real life on toast under the broiler)

    One of my fav creams. Not as sweet as real condensed milk but a really good thick cream anyway.

    Good morning mixers. I started try the sft of the condensed milk and definitely wouldn’t call it horrible. It’s a slightly sweet cream with nice mouth feel so far. I mixed at 4%. I’ll try some more tonight.

    Hope you find a mix for it.

    After reading your comment I proceeded to just work on the empty boxes and guess what? That made a difference. Doing a little at a time is way less daunting!

    Yes, it is. Just a little per day and you'll be amazed at what you can get done.:)

    Is the very berry different from the mixed berry cheesecake?

    I woke this morning and my wife was asleep on the couch. I'm pretty sure she wasn't mad at me last night when I went to bed so figured she must be sick. I was right. It kind of sounds like flu symptoms. Body ache and low fever. I set up a tray table for her with water, crackers, medicine and a phone before I left. I told her to call me if she needs to go to see a doctor and I'll come home and get her.

    Yes, the Very Berry is different from the Mixed Berry. Hoping your wife feels better soon.

    Morning, mixers. Bright, sun shiny day, and a bucolic 30 degrees :)
