    Somewhere between here and there
    It's definitely Monday. There was heavy fog this morning and an accident on the highway and one lane closed for quite a ways. Then I get to work and the warranty parts I've been waiting just over a month for were supposed to ship today and they have pushed the ship date back yet another week. Then I get an email from a customer that I did some calibrations for and put a wrong date on one of the certification forms. I never make mistakes like that on my paperwork that I give to customers. I don't know what was wrong with me that day. I corrected it and emailed it back to them. Hopefully this isn't an indication of how the whole day is going to be. I usually have a good and productive day on Monday but I guess not today.

    Good morning D-I-Y People !!! :D

    Doing little odds and ends around the house. Chasin' some dust bunnies. Vacuuming the never ending dog hair even after her thorough daily brushing.

    I hope y'all enjoy a pleasant day! :wub:
    I hear you about the never ending dog hair. I think I might just start shaving my dog.

    Yesterday I tested my apple danish thingy recipe. I forgot what I originally named it. :facepalm: It's on one of my many scattered notes, somewhere. Likely lost. :D

    applestrudel-5.jpg


    Apple Danish Thingy
    FA Apple Pie (more crust than apple + a bit of spice) 1%
    FA Cookie (very neutral cookie flavor) 0.5%
    WF Fluffy White Cake 0.75% ---> those 3 flavs = my foundation
    FA Fuji (tart apple) 2.5%
    FA Apple (sweet) 0.5%
    FA Pear (creaminess + balance for the apples) 1.5%
    SSA Apple Strudel 0.5%


    It's tasty, much like my Grandmother's apple strudel. Mine is not too sweet like the actual is in RL. To make it even less sweet remove the FA Apple and lower FA Pear to between 0.5-1%.

    This morning, simply for a test, I added a little of my MF Caramel recipe to the rta and am getting a very pleasing Apple/Carmel danish. Nice. The wonders of DIY never cease to amaze me. :)

    I always thought I'd like apple vapes and tried several but never could stand to use them more than a few puffs. Your recipe sounds so good but I doubt I'd be able to vape it. I love apples and apple pastries and wish I could vape apple.

    Yes, I've mentioned it several times.
    I would send her a couple emails from anonymous accounts. Like "rumor has it your husband really wants that cool Valhalla game" and "Valhalla is all he talks about at work". Or the random post-it note around the house with only "Valhalla" on it. :D

    One year leading up to Xmas I constantly mentioned how cool it would be to have a Sennheiser MD421 microphone. Much to my surprise she bought me one. I quickly connected it to my PA and the whole neighborhood heard me. Loud and clear. :lol:

    I love apple in recipes. Unfortunately a lot of apple bakery recipes also have cinnamon, which I cannot stand to vape.

    I guess, it's kind of funny how we all get on, or not, with certain flavors. For example, I can't vape anything with more than a super light, mostly imperceptible, touch of cinnamon in it. Anything more I find gross. But I love real cinnamon bakery, go figure. I can't do blueberry vapes either. For me they all taste fake compared to real bb's. I have a Do Not Buy list for certain flavors. There are many :censored: words on it! :lol:

    @Zazie please name my apple recipe "Apple Danish Thingy". I must go with the opinions of my fellow DIY'ers on this one. Thanks!

    Heck, apple danish thingy sounds like a good name ;)
    Alrighty then, that's it.

    I was getting ready to post the same thing. If there can be a candy bar named "Whatchamacallit", then "Apple Danish Thingy" seems perfectly fine for a DIY mix.
    I concurrently concur with your concurrence. "Apple Danish Thingy" it is.

    You guys Rock!!! :headbang:
    <sorry, I don't do dancing guy or banana>

    :rickroll: :rickroll: :rickroll:

    :banana: :banana: :banana:
