Well...
Anything else I should get while I am in there ?
If you like vanilla cookies, then yes, grab FA Vanilla Cookie. Of the newly released FA flavors it's already a favorite of mine.

Do you like custards? If so grab FA Custard Premium. It's not as eggy or as sweet as CAP Vanilla Custard v1.

I have this pre-made juice (Naked POG... passion fruit, orange, guava) that I like (it's a bit much so I always ad something creamy) I haven't had those juices IRL for years (except OJ of course) so bought some at the grocery store to jog my memory. Tried each, then tried them together while vaping the POG e-juice (that was fun) Passion fruit is yummy, guava is like I remember (good but slightly funky... sort of like how papaya is) but I really like the combination so going to order flavors. I have mango and think it will fit right in (either with OJ or to replace it)

I want to mix a peach pie a' la mode. I have peach, pie crust (undecided on adding a tiny bit of cinnamon... it's a must for me with apple pie) and ice cream. Wondering about using caramel to make it more like baked peaches. Also, cookie or croissant to help the pie crust. Any suggestions?

(I don't get the eggy from the Cap)

    Croissant to help the pie crust.

    A horrible way to lose, but Italy also played better from about the second half of the first half on and truly dominated during the second half. After that tying goal, England never got back the momentum. Overall, they only controlled the ball a third of the time--and much of that happened during the first twenty minutes of the match.

    I tell you, though, watching reminded me how glad I am that I mostly don't care about sports. Way too stressful for me, and I always feel too bad for the losers. I much prefer it when everyone is more or less happy rather than one group being ecstatic and the other in hell.

    I'm not talking about it.

    Off the top of my head... here is where I would start.

    Peaches and Cream Pie Bars à la Mode

    crust:
    WF Crumble Topping 0.5% - 0.75%
    SSA Shortbread Cookie 2%

    peaches: using both makes a convincingly realistic peach
    FA Peach 1.25%
    FA White Peach 0.75%

    Fran's Ice Cream Base:

    SSA Ice Cream Vanilla 2%
    WF Vanilla Ice Cream 3.5%
    TFA Vanilla Swirl 1.5%
    HA French Vanilla Ice Cream 1%


    I would not add cinnamon to that. IMO, caramel would not be a good choice. It will bring more of a sweet buttery note. There is already plenty of sweetness in the flavors listed above. Much better options... if looking for a buttery note then add one of these... FA Butter, SSA Butter or VTA Butter Base at 0.25%.


    Good luck

    Has anyone ordered any bottles/tips/caps from DropperBottles.com in the last 6 months or so? I'm talking about only the easy squeeze LDPE Child Resistant dropper bottles that come with the regular pointy tips and caps. They can't be the PET bottles, nor the LDPE ones that are CR + Tamper Evident. The neck opening of those bottles and the bottom diameter of the tips for both...are larger than the Child Resistant only ones. If you have, I'd really appreciate it if you could PM me.

    I used to hate those squash vine borers, a moth that looks just like a wasp and really homes in on yous squash plants, I used to use BT or seven on them. All I have now is some tomatoes. The tomato hornworm though does become a beautiful moth. I hope to have some ripe tomatoes in a week or so, Tomato gravy is on the menu.
    When I lived in the country, and had a veggie garden, and grew tomatoes, and had hornworms...they were the size of a cigar. The moths must be the size of crows.

    Well, in my best Eeyore voice... tonight my Bucks play the Suns in game 3 of the NBA finals. The Bucks are down 0-2. :facepalm: I will have the game on, without sound. Chain vaping my way through it.

    Oooooh boy, pins and neeeeedles. :cry: Oh well, whoever wins, yeah.
    I'm sorry. Fandom is a terrible cross to bear.

    I had a few bad batches of nicotine (Nic River stuff) I use it against those borers. I figured out their patterns and I am able to just spray them when they are resting. I'm cautious of my local bee population. If I find that they have laid eggs in the squash-I just use a needle and squirt some nic into the stem. I was able to save my squash last year. My son planted to closely this year so I hope to save them. I just looked in the garden and some more zucchini leaves disappeared. I sprayed them with hot pepper juice last night. Obviously, this wood chuck is hungry. I need a apple to bait him with. I have a trap awaiting for sure.
    Another when I lived in the country stories.
    Wood chucks, or ground hogs, were always for me the cute little Puckstatownie Phil guy. It wasn't until my second house in the country, on old open farm land that I understood why farmers hated them. They have these big burrow holes which horses and cows can step into and break legs. Then there is the problem you mentioned, that they will eat your garden faster than it will grow.
    And last, they are not very friendly. I've had friendlier snakes on my land.

    Those are pretty cool. They look classy too. I bookmarked the store. Thanks.
    Happy to help.
    I ran across them accidentally in the store. My unmounted tanks were always rolling around somewhere, and maybe leaking, and maybe releasing their scent when it wasn't always welcomed by others. Being able to store them all upright, and closed, was very useful.

    ok ok ok. I'll bite.
    So where is the "there" for these flavors? Nommoz or Chefos or dwrmals?
    Geez, I'm glad my spellchecker is working well tonight.

    I'm sorry. Fandom is a terrible cross to bear.

    Here's a story about the real meaning of fandom.

    Back in the sixties I went to a game with a couple of mates where my team Sunderland were playing at Newcastle, about 10 miles north of us. We normally stayed away from derby matches which is what they called games between nearby teams, they tended to be rough.

    Newcastle were up 2 goals to 1 ten minutes before the end of the game so we decided to bail out before the rush. On our way out we heard an enormous roar, followed by another one a couple of minutes later. Turned out Sunderland scored twice in the last few minutes giving them the game.

    We knew it would be bad. Threw our Sunderland hats and scarves in a trash bin and ran for our lives. It was about a mile to the train station. Just as we got there Sunderland fans started running out of the station towards us followed by a load of cops with dogs. The cops had heard what happened and they were trying to secure the entrance to the station. We turned around and hundreds of angry Newcastle lads were running towards us. We thought we were done for, trapped between the cops and the mob, but right then the Sunderland lads came running down another street. The two armies turned towards each other and got stuck in. Somehow we managed to get into the station and onto a train. The fighting moved into the station but more cops with dogs managed to keep them away from the trains and we escaped with our lives.

    Those were the days.

    Got some more mixing done tonight. I diluted some Caramel Cappuccino to 10% so it would be easier to measure and made a batch at 0.5% and another at 1%. They both smell pretty strong. Once I figure out the right % I can try adding some sweet cream or whatever.
