Random DIY mixing and More

The cake is done. Appearance wise I give it a C-, taste A+. If there is one tip for anyone who makes it, don't grease and flour the pans. Use a baking non stick spray... This cake is so light and fluffy that it gave me fits coming out of the pans.

Why would greasing and flouring the pans make it trickier to get the cakes out? In a related question, why would using a spray make the job easier? (Note: I've never used nonstick baking spray, so I have no idea how it compares to more traditional methods.)

In my opinion the OXVA products are garbage, the first one lasted 10 months(OXVA Origin). I bought the OXVA X to use up the coils and this one lasted 5 weeks.
This time the coils will be tossed!

Yoga time. I am feeling this distinct and uncomfortable feeling honestly. I Better hop to it. I am weirdly anxious, time to FIX IT.

You know, if I received word the world was gonna end in 2.5 hours I'd probably get on my mat.

I mean sure, call my kid and talk to the husband, but from the MAT.

I am distinctly like, considering a career change and my husband has not worked MORE years of our marriage now than I have, and I am starting to feel resentful. I can't talk to him about it either. I just have reached a point in healthcare where I am SICK TO HOLY HELL OF IT and it's not different ANYWHERE I GO.

I want to spend the remainder of my life teaching yoga. I'mma gonna look into it. I am resourceful. I'm sure it is POSSIBLE. Theoretically. IDK.

I would be willing to spend considerably more time like advertising and recruiting yoga students than private patients I am telling you THAT.

Perhaps it is time to follow my dharma but right now I just gotta COPE.

MAT.

laters.

Um, you are buying a house and you will have house payments.

Bought a couple of tanks yesterday, and been looking today, really want another 21700 mod, but nothing tempted me enough to push the buy button.

I am not buying anything vape related. I don’t even look any more. But last night I made the largest amazon order I’ve ever made. For some of my gifts and my Mom’s gifts. With that said, sometime after the new year I will be making an order for RF aged bourbon cream. I re-meshed and re-wicked my Zeus x and put ABC in there and it’s just fabulous. I want to buy a large amount of it.

I’m stuffed! I cleaned up my kitchen and my Mom’s kitchen and came home and took a nap. It was just us four for Thanksgiving and my Dad spent most of that time over at my brother’s house who lives next door (SIL has Covid) outside trying to run down their dog that got out. It was just ok but felt a little weird without the bigger crowd. I don’t want food until tomorrow. If then. Ugh

Today I'm testing Medicine Flower's strawberry. Dripped and now in an RTA. I did a very basic 2 flavor 30ml test mix.

MF Strawberry 2%
FLV Cream 1%

The folks at ELR say MF Strawberry is one of the weaker MF flavors. I'm very happy I followed their advice and did this one at 2%.

MF Strawberry is like eating a nicely ripened California strawberry. It's a very full flavored and well rounded strawberry. Not candy. If you were to mix FA Red Touch (strawberry) with FA Juicy Strawberry you would get maybe 40-50% of what MF S-berry is. IMO the two FA s-berries combined were the most realistic, until I vaped MF's. It easily takes the strawberry crown. Yes, it's that good.

I tried it at 4 weeks and felt it was just ok. I let it sit and steep for 4 more weeks (8 total) and it totally blossomed and came to life.

got the MiBoxer C4-12a charger (4 bay charger that can charge nearly any battery and up to 3a)

I bought the Miboxer C4-12 updated v2 charger last summer. It is a really nice charger.

Hope you like yours!

I live in central CA and know what a fresh ripe strawberry tastes like (they sell them at roadside stands... right next to the field they were grown in) I've never thought of steeping a fruit flavor that long... will keep that in mind. Thanks.

I'll grab a few more MF flavors while they have their 20% off sale going on. Likely won't buy any vape gear unless I spot a great deal on something.

What about you?

I guess we won't eat till 6:00 pm (so needed a snack... mom made some Bierocks the other day so had some leftovers) Here's a recipe for those (she has been making them for years... she does cheat and use pre-made frozen bread dough):
Pam's Bierocks

I used to spend a lot of time all over Cali when I worked. The last time I was at Apple HQ in Cupertino for some work a gal I've known for years who is a SW engineer at Apple and I bought a flat of fresh roadside strawberries. Cali's strawberries are the best.

Generally and IMO, most fruit flavors don't require a long steep time. There are many that are SnV. The Medicine Flower flavors do require a long steep time.

nothing like Strawberries and Avocado's in California. I do not even eat either one when in Georgia because the taste just does not compare after all that refrigeration. I lived on the Central Coast for awhile (Pismo Beach) and they are just all over the place
