Random DIY mixing and More

Underground house? Stays 55deg. year round, but you'd have to stay in it 24/7...

It looks like that house might have some pretty low ceilings.

That's a nondenial denial. I win.

Ok, but where do I put my pet rhinoceros ?????

Looks like your rhinoceros would fit through that big honkin' round door to me.

BTW that's Bilbo Baggins home from Lord of the Rings. And in case you were wonderin' that home is actually located in lovely New Zealand.

We went well over a week in the 90’s. This cool weather is much welcome.

We enjoyed a week of cool and breezy weather... well that was nice but as of tomorrow we are back to crazy heat again. 111 deg F Friday Been getting by just fine with the "swamp cooler" ( New pads a few months ago and flush with fresh water once a month) but it's time for the AC now! It's nice to have both options but you have to remember to open/close windows depending on which you use. My poor nephew got a really good job working on AC systems... but not fun being on a roof at 111 deg

I wonder if it's to get that more realistic breakfast cereal taste since malt is common in breakfast cereal as a sweetener and flavor-enhancer (and for the extra nutrients)

BTW (and I know this because I make homebrew beer and have studied this very much) "malt" is malted barley (that's what beer is made from) The grains are soaked with water, allowed to almost sprout... this allows some of the starches to convert to sugars. During prohibition there was all this malt surplus so someone came up with the idea of malted milk (I love those chocolate covered candy ones) and malt shops. Quick history lesson I love the flavor of malt.

Or maybe I'm just off the wall nuts.

Nope... I claim the prize for that one And my wife... well she's not nuts but her nature nickname is nutty squirrel (at the outdoor school where she worked in the mountains everyone had nature nicknames... I would have been shooting star if I worked there)

I think I got that sesame candy on a sale at Gremberry. I don’t think I’ve ever tried it.

It's very strong and very much like the real life thing (basically just toasted sesame seeds and honey... but it's not very sweet actually, but very rich flavor)

Earned my living for 50 years doing that. That is why I am good for nothing now.. Also - 10 & - 12 degrees in winter.

I’m going to mix with the cheesy croissant base tomorrow and I think the Guava is a good idea so I’m going to work on that if I don’t change my mind.

That sounds like a good cereal vape. Did you use FA Milk? Guess I'm thinking the marshmallow in a cereal as like whatever the cereal was that had those tiny marshmallows in it. I agree with you on the malted milk. I think that would be like if we left a bowl of cereal with milk out for like a month and it got all thick and... yeah, sumtin' like that.

TFA vbic… because I had an almost empty bottle of it set aside on my mixing station to decide if I needed to reorder. It’s not quite really an ic, and not too vanillay, so maybe okay. Horribly scientific, no? Oh, and a little FA cookie, for added “crunch” and body. I think the cereals will need backup there. Who knows, maybe it’ll be tasty. I hope

Wait a second, you bake and cook all this awesome food. You should be working pure DIY magic with the 3021 flavors you have (and 34 MF's ). -----> Don't throw a brick my way, I'm just teasin' ya.

But, in real life things taste like what they are. There aren’t a hundred different variations, some that don’t taste like what their name proclaims. I wish mixing as easy as cooking. Certainly give me fewer headaches lol

Since there’s probably a million Mango Lassi’s out there I’ll call this one……. @Zazie
Fran’s Mango Lassi.
FA Indian Mango Special 1.5%
WF Island Mango 2%
FLV Mango .75%
FA Fresh Cream.5%
WF Frozen Yogurt 2%
FA Meringue .5%
FW Yogurt 3%

This looks tasty, but I don't have WF Frozen Yogurt. Could I just use 5% FW Yogurt, do you think?

I will also add cardamom, since to me it ain't lassi without it.

Does anyone have PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake?

If so, what can you tell me about it?

Is the toasted coconut fairly accurate?

Is the toasted coconut strong and up front?

Is the cheesecake out front and how cheesy is it?

Is the cheesecake more of a cream?


I'm looking to make something that has toasted coconut. PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake seems to be the only toasted coconut flavor I could find. Amoretti has a toasted coconut but I really don't want to spend that kind of money on an unknown.

Thanks

Nothing can be that easy.

I'll share the title with you then. Cuz I am nutz.

 

[Zazie]

Ok, now I understand. Silly me.

I will continue looking at foodie recipe web sites, and paying even more attention to the ingredients, for ideas.

Stella Parks, who used to be the dessert queen on Serious Eats, uses malt in a lot of her recipes. You can read what she has to say about it here.

I want to live where it never, never, ever gets above 65 nor below 50 .........

I'd be fine with 20-65.
