Random DIY mixing and More

LOL, I got the email too……but no order.

You still have one hour left to change your mind, Fran

I had some ingredients I needed, so the offer fit well.
SMT has posted some cool ideas, so it ended with a little shopping trip on Chef's out of it.

How long a steep time do you usually give your Irish Cream, Fran?

When or if I order from chefs again it's going to have to be with a coupon so I can pay for tracking. This latest order is driving me nuts.

I have taken the chance for the second time without tracking, they sent with Royal Mail tracking last time though.
Hope they do the same again.
That said, we can pay for tracking package from them, do not know if they had it before though, I am a beginner in flavor buying.

When did they mess up your package? Before or after Brexit?

I wouldn't say they messed it up. It shipped on the 17th of last month and I still haven't received it yet. I normally get orders from them in 10-12 days. I emailed them and they said there isn't anything they can do until it's been 32 days since it was shipped. It's quickly approaching that mark. I hope I get cool mint toothpaste this time.

How are you liking the Butter Cookie Mix? I bookmarked it recently and am only missing the VT Sweet Cream flavor.

Get the VT Sweet Cream when you make another order. Make the butter cookie. vape it.

I like it. It uses 1% Super Sweet so this batch will need a rewick halfway through the usual. I'll use .5% next time but I usually mix as written the first time just to see what the creater intended.

I'll try any of Developed or Folkart's recipes just on merit.
I almost always put them in my winners folder to make again down the road.

2 weeks at least.

No chef's order for me. I need nothing.

I didn't mix the thingamabob or the cake and crumble yet but I did get some other things mixed including nic base. Tomorrow's another day.

By my count it's been 25.

This morning I filled a Dvarw MTL FL with my Nanaimo Thingamabob recipe. I made it back on April 18th. It was good after a few weeks but I felt something was off so I put it back in a drawer to steep longer. Good thing I did that versus tossing it. After 7.8 weeks I am impressed. It came together very nicely.

Nanaimo Thingamabob

WF Nanaimo Bars 2%
WF Fluffy White Cake 1.5%
SSA dessert Chocolate 0.8%
WF Cashew 0.5%

Steep time = 7.8 weeks, you will be rewarded, IMO. Although someone else may like this off the shake (doubt it from my experience, but whatever).

It is a nicely balanced and flavorful mix. There is some interesting interplay, and flavor complexities, between the Nanaimo bars, dessert chocolate and cashew. That surprised me.

It has a good balance between a mild sweetness and 'the not sweet'.

The cashew is really good and pretty darn accurate. IMO it's one of the better nut flavors. The chocolate in Dessert chocolate sits lower in the mix but is still very noticeable. It's a good chocolate. Fluffy white cake and Nanaimo bars bring the texture. Dessert chocolate also adds a cake-like texture (see SD's sft note on ELR).

The %'s could be pushed further. I would suggest doing so in 0.25%-0.5% increments. I would only bump dessert chocolate by 0.25% (or to 1% to make mixing easy). It's strong, IMO. Going too far with it will upset the balance (YMMV).

I have a couple additional ideas for this. But for now it's solid.

Any chocolate sub? MF? Glamour? Etc? I don’t have the ssa, and haven’t had chocolate success, so don’t want to order it

7 more days. Seems like a long time to have to wait.

If you're not big on chocolate maybe you could go with a drop of MF and call it good.

Sounds like a plan

I dont know what to get anyone for fathers day..

I either don't have the money or don't have the idea... haha

Well I'm not a father (at least as far asI know), however I can make a very fine "Daddy" (not a sugar daddy though) for the right person. . . As for an idea - All that I would like as a gift would be a very decent running used Crossover/SUV with low mikage . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Hopefully you get the package soon, or that Chef sends it out to you again.

Why it was tracking on my first package from Chef I have no idea, I did not pay for it so I was surprised that it was Royal Mail with tracking.

I got home and my bcf order is here. I finally have the wf ice cream despite not getting my chef’s order. I also got an obelisk 60 that I ordered a long time ago from geekvape with a 70% off coupon I won on FB. Not sure why geekvape never sent the 60 or 120 for review.

Now I need to look for that screenshot of the ice cream trinity.
