Random DIY mixing and More

That's what being a Cardinal's fan will do to you.

Them's fighting words.

Too bad I'm a wuss.

I hate snow too. April here should be in the high 60’s- low 70’s. Not below freezing and snow.

Tell me about it.

 

[Redbird11]

You two are really ganging up on poor red.

It's ok Hitt. I'm used to it.

I thought she was joking but there’s a chance of snow here Tuesday. Seems ridiculous for this time of year here.

I burst out laughing when I saw it coming down--hard--when I looked out the window before going to bed last night.

 

[Zazie]

Right here we got a couple inches which is gone now. My gd that rents my house got 10 inches which is still on the ground.

Ten! That's serious. We got a few inches.

It will be awhile before that melts.

I do recall an Easter Sunday when I lived in Abilene that it snowed. So if Texas can deal with snow in April, anybody can.

So a couple months ago I bought a 100 pack of 30ml bottles from Heartland. Well I finally got around to opening the pack up today. These are really nice bottles. I grabbed 5 and rinsed them out well, then set them out to dry. They were fully dry in no more than a couple hours. My old crappy 30mls from FT would take forever to fully dry out.

I was in El Paso for a couple years in the army and it never snowed.

I like the ones I got from them too. I bought 100 packs of the 10ml and the 50ml ones.

Probably doesn’t snow often.

Hey @hittman, couple questions for you about your Pom Pudding Mix. First, do you ever add another fruit to pair with the pomegranate? Second, when you mix it up how much do you generally make?

Reason I'm asking is I was going to mix up a 30ml, but it will probably take me awhile to finish it. I didn't know how the pomegranate would age.

Yeah I would have gotten the 10ml as well, but they were out.

In all the years I lived in the west Texas/panhandle region of Texas--Abilene, Lubbock, Amarillo,--it always snowed a couple of times each year.

I only ever just mixed the pomegranate with it. I’ve done 30ml before and I feel like it aged well. I keep so many different ones in rotation that it takes me a while to go through 30ml of any one. I only do 30 or more at a time of a few favorites.

Sounds good. I was thinking about maybe adding some TFA Sweet Raspberry to it since I've never used the flavor before. But I'll probably just keep it as is.

Been thinking of pairing some grapefruit with cheesecake.

It would depend on your taste for Pom. To me it’s not sweet and I’m not crazy about the taste so I would mix it with a sweeter fruit.

I'm seeing a lot of varying reviews on the strength of Sweet Raspberry. Would you consider it a strong flavor? I have no idea what to consider for %.

It’s a flavor I haven’t used in ages. For lack of a better idea I’d start low and add as needed.
