Just finished my lunch and about ready to get back to work. Things weren't as hectic this morning as I expected. Hopefully the afternoon is quiet.
Oooooh, to be 23 all over again.
Would I? Or wouldn't I?No thanks. I'm very very happy in my current age.

New recipe. It's very tasty. 
Belgian Waffles with Cream and Golden Syrup
MB Classic Belgian Waffle 2%
SSA Soft Waffle 2%
SSA Waffle with Butter 1.5%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.5%
INW Shisha Vanilla 1%
FLV Cream 1%
FA Golden Syrup 1%
Suggested steep time: 4 weeks. Creams and bakery flavors dictate that. The mix needs time for the flavors to become miscible. Naturally, YMMV. It's good off the shake given time it blossoms.
I've been working on creating a decent tasting waffle profile since this last July. Waffle is not easy. On their own each of the waffle flavors was lacking something the other had and did well. Each on it's own was a rather light tasting waffle flavor that was very easily overtaken by other flavors.
So began my quest to combine them for a decent tasting waffle that would hold its own with other flavors. Many combinations were tried and tested. Getting the percentages just right took time.
With this recipe you will get waffle up front, a very mild tasting butter, creaminess in the middle-to-back and a very light tasting, but soooo pleasing, golden syrup on the backside.
MB CBW, SSA SW and SSA WwB combined taste like a high-end restaurant quality waffle. Easily.
I wanted a silky smooth cream topping that would not detract from the waffle flavor. WF VCE, INW SV and FLV Cream combined delivered that requirement nicely.
FA Golden Syrup is one of Flavour Art's newly released flavors. And ---WOW--- FA did an awesome job with their golden syrup!!!
FA Golden Syrup is not at all sweet like FA Maple Syrup. FA GS, at 1%, has a level of sweetness that I would call a light kind of sweet. It's very pleasing at 1% and not in your face. In this mix the GS isn't experienced until the exhale (backside). As a flavor I would rate FA GS above VTA Golden Syrup. Both are excellent tasting syrups.
What is proper Golden Syrup?
It’s a thick, smooth golden-colored syrup made from cane sugar that has a unique buttery scent and a light caramel flavor. It’s less sweet than, say, corn syrup. It's also called light treacle. Golden syrup ingredients are a simple combination of sugar, water, and a slice of lemon.
Golden Syrup is popular in the UK and elsewhere in the world. Tate and Lyle’s Golden Syrup is the best tasting GS that I know of (Amazon, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Wegmanns).
At 1% I do not detect butter or caramel in FA GS. Perhaps SFT'ed or used at higher percentages those notes might reveal themselves. A true golden syrup is unlike any American made syrup. I would use FA GS where I am looking for a more neutral tasting syrup versus a maple syrup - with ummm, it's maple taste.
Okay then...
A fruit or two could easily be added to this recipe without mucking things up. Although that depends on the fruit(s) and percentages. I would recommend going with a lighter touch percentage-wise. I've made this with pineapple/mango, then oranges and finally strawberries.
@Zazie can you please add this to your blog? TIA

Happy Friday, Mixers!
I did venture out for my cheesesteak and also stopped by that vape shop that I hadn't been to in a while.
Not much new from my last visit, though I did pick up a Dead Rabbit 3 rta.
They also have one mech mod that's been there for a while which got my curiosity up a bit.
I've never used a mech, but have thought about one for my apocalypse stash. Not sure that this one would be "it".
It is the Avid Lyfe Timekeeper and is pretty expensive (to me!), uses a hybrid atomizer connection (direct contact to battery), and has a magnetic fire button with crazy strong magnets which some folks have had issues with when disassembling the switch.
It has my attention right now, though it hasn't started haunting my every waking moment.
Yet.
Could still end up dragging me over to the Shinyitis thread though.
