    I found two bottles of the raspberry last night when I got out the strawberry rhubarb.



    That sure sounds like work. When I'm off on vacation I'm going to run new wire to a light in the basement. I didn't have enough wire when I was adding the light my wife wanted in the basement so asked her if it was ok to just put in a pull chain on that one and she said yes. Well, it's become a constant point of aggravation since it frequently gets left on so I'm going to run wire to one of the other lights so it's on and off with the other switches.
    I was just looking at my flavor lists and realized I still have some PUR cheesecake flavors . I’ll have to use those up. They’re not bad flavors, I’m just a cheesecake snob.

    My wife's job told her they didn't want her doing the 3 weeks notice. They'll pay her for the 3 weeks, but they worry her leaving will hurt her team's morale. The part that offended her was they think she'll take people with her. My wife is not that kind of a person. She was really upset about it. They wanted to take her to lunch with a bunch of her peers but she declined.

    Skeebo, please tell your wife that it is a somewhat common practice when senior/high level person gives their notice. I have to wear the HR hat some days. It sounds like she is in that type of position. While she is trustworthy and honorable, the company still decides to pay someone for their notice period to avoid any risk. One software company I worked for did that when a top programmer gave his notice. He was an awesome guy, who really wanted to work during the transition and share what he knew before he left, but the company paid his 30 day's notice instead, and yes, they had to cover his insurance during that period.

    Lovely day here, it was 54 deg. driving to work, and it might hit 60. Happy December, I'll take this over shoveling snow (which may arrive this weekend).

    Absolutely must mix this weekend. I didn't do it last weekend as planned so my stock is dangerously low, especially for my regulars.

    Up here we’re expecting 6” of snow for Saturday. It’s also the day of our family Christmas party.

    I have a Kumo ordered from SM if they ever get it in. Sadly my coils are on the same order but I’m no where near out so I’ll wait. I do have 2 orders that have shipped from different warehouses. So far I’ve refused to check tracking again. Just causes frustration.

    I tend to use it at 2%. It can be used with ice cream or creamy custard well. My last mix was an ice cream with sponge cake, Acai and raspberry. Haven’t tried that one yet. It also can be used without a base to make a cake. I just like the flavor a lot. Hope you do also.

    PS. Good to see ya.

    I looked back and my first mix with the spongecake was an ice cream base with Bilberry and Boysenberry. I liked the Spongecake so well I bought another bottle.

    The Kumo is now showing 24 hrs so it'll ship soon.

    Well I did some digging and I'm not going near the banana split....it's meah evidently. It's one of those purchases I made on a whim and then was too scared to try it. Some artificial flavours don't get anywhere near a true profile and we all know this from food.....why oh why oh why :cry:

    I’ve had a couple I bought and was afraid to try. I don’t know why.
