Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I'm not sure if being a chocoholic is a blessing or a burden.

IDK but I'm guilty of that also.

I appreciate any/all opinions on flavors and recipes. If I agree or disagree is irrelevant. I've gotten some great tips, ideas and recipes from these threads.

I very much agree

It's widespread and I have no idea what kind of damage it caused. I read that there were trees down in the town beside mine. I'm trying to be nice about it as people lost their homes and lives. Hopefully it'll be on soon. Then I can check my food. I read frozen food will last 48 hours but I'm doubtful.

It should be fine. Just don't open the freezer.

I hope the power comes back on soon, though, for your peace of mind.

I very much agree

DIY is like pearl hunting. Most of it is defined by utter failure but then once in awhile...

It makes it worth doing.

I have shipping from BCF.

I'm waiting on shipping from BCF, should be today or tomorrow. Their really good about filling and shipping their orders, great company.

My favorite

My next recipe will be a boozy one with FLA bourbon my booze of choice. Do not like bourbon irl but it's a great flavor. IMO of course. @hittman will not agree....LOL

Not sure I found mine yet. It would probably have to be my ChocoNET ADV I'm searching for if/when that arrives. But I have had a few pleasant surprises. Some of the FruitNETs, and raspberry flavoring. I'm so meh about eating raspberries but for some odd reason they vape pretty dang good.

When ever I find a chocolate recipe that appeals to me, I sort of follow it, but I always add a drop or two of cocoa. I mix 30ml bottles.

Years ago I was disappointed that I couldn't taste apple. I spent way too much time and money trying to taste something I was blind too. A couple of folks even sent me their apple mixes, sure I'd be able to taste them but Nope. At which point I gave up. Should have done it way sooner.

I tried to find a cherry for years that didn't taste like cough syrup to me before I finally gave up the search. Some flavors don't work for me, but it's different for everyone. Taste is subjective. I know that frustrates people when they read or hear that, maybe because of it's vague and they're looking for a concrete recipe or flavor that works universally, but it's true. Taste really is subjective.

I really like raspberry as well. Rhubarb has been my pearl for a long time. I've used it many times to keep the sweetness down in a recipe. Now I have the Acai which will do the same. Happy to have the choice now.

I can't agree more about taste being subjective. Everyone should remember that.

I'll keep that in mind

I haven't vaped much cherry because it just isn't my thing so I can't vouch for it but I have heard that complaint about cherry from many different people.

I'm partial to my own base but I would get rid of the above TFA cheesecake and add 2% Graham Crust (any brand) instead

I was just going to say the same thing.

Some of the chocolates taste grassy and/or soapy to me but then there are a number of them that aren't too bad. Most of those are rather weak or have more of a tootsie roll or fudge flavor than strictly chocolate. They're good but as a dedicated chocolate addict I'm simply looking for a home run choco flavor. I admit I am being very picky when it comes to chocolate. Looking for chocolate rapture.

That’s it exactly! I don’t mind a tootsie roll irl (like, it’s the last chocolate candy in the bowl), it’s not what I had in my mind for a vape.

Good morning flaorers I feel okay. I have my FMLA request in by email. I sent my sis my policy and procedures and stuff and like my employee handbook,. I feel bad for her but lawyers like, read at triple speed somehow. I mean, after you learn "lawyer language' (WHICH SUCKS I took a SW and the law course and considered a dual major my school had one. it was really interesting but I was like, "I'm not sure I want to spend my life doing custody evaluations in court. Also yeah, IDK. I just sent it all to get it all out of my life. I think my sis is probably gonna tell me to go to the EECOE or whatever it's called if I do anything. I mean, they are NOT going to give me what I ask for, which would include like, written apologies and stuff,. What I would need to not be scared for life would be unfeasible I think. Who knows maybe she will be, "You know, this IS total BS and tell me to go ahead, but it doesn't much matter, if they tell me to pound sand, well, what can I do?

My supervisor did not respond to me FMLA thing with a "Oh gosh I hope you are doing better" type thing. She has like, been silent. Oh well she has been notified,

I don't believe they can do much I mean.... You can't fire someone like retroactively with no notice if they asked for FMLA while employed even if sick? I sincerely think not. IDK. Who knows. I do not. I'm just a smidge anxious I guess and like, I feel really not so good but I slept way better and yoga happens today I am also cleaning under the sofa if I can handle it. Not my favorite chore.

I want to go look at properties in Dragoon but like, gosh, who knows. Maybe later in the week.

It's just we would have to do this with a personal loan at this point but the thing is, it's not like that much more expensive than rent in Douglas, etc. I will have to talk to my mom and the husband.... LOL found and downloaded the software State Farm uses to improve our claim. So, that should be nice,

I also want a mango lassi recipe. I an going to check Zazie;'s blog and if I can find one I am going to attempt one, which will begin with figuring out HOW a real Mango lassi is made. I know it is some weird yoghurt type beverage with mango in it which I inhale but well.... IDK.

I have many mangos it is one of my favorite flavors .I actually like mangos in real life it's just you have to eat them in the bathtub and then bathe right afterward for the true "mango experience."

Yay, I got my forms! My doc is going to hate me dude I will need an emergency appointment and he is doing all telephone too.

I do feel an overarching sense of relief, I must say,

Some optimism. Some.

No mango lassi in the blog as yet. I talked about wanting a recipe for it a while back; maybe I'll give it a try next time I mix. Cardamom would be essential to do it right. Maybe a little mint, maybe a dash of lime (though that last is definitely non canon).
