Random DIY mixing and More

We keep our approach plowed during the winter. Either my SIL does the snowplowing or I do.

Got the outside of my bottom window cleaned easy peasy. Not sure that I’ll bother with the top since they’ll be taking the window out.

LOL, it’s yours. The pineapple,strawberry,guava one.

The one that the guava goes in last.

Get anything good for your b-day?

I don't know yet, there are a few wrapped presents. Those won't get opened until tonight.

DD2 is currently baking a birthday cake. Earlier she made some very special brownies ( ). For supper grilled swordfish fillets for mom and I, plus whatever side dishes they decide on. The girls and their spouses will have vegetarian lasagna.

Sounds like you have a good night coming. Enjoy much.

Yes, that’s the one. All I have to do now is remember to add the guava. I couldn’t get myself to mix a 15ml. Recipe looks good to me and I’m just about sure I will like it.

Don’t eat your special brownies too early. You will get nothing done.

Looking thru my lists I was surprised to see I have a second pear I completely forgot about. It’s TFA

 

[FranC]

I need to figure out how much of these two bases I want to mix. Think I’ll go with 30ml til I see how much I like them.

Finished mixing 10mls of a new bakery base. It is quite tasty, and flavorful, off the mix. This mix leaves a nice bakery aroma in the air. I promptly mixed up a 30ml batch.

CAP Vanilla Cupcake 1.5%
FA Graham Crust 1%
WF Crumble Topping 0.7%
WF Cream Puff 1.5%
TPA Brown Sugar 0.7%
VTA Butter Base 0.5%

The brown sugar totally enhanced the graham flavor. That was a very pleasant, but unexpected, surprise.

Now I'll let it steep.

Update on our new pup - it's been over 2 weeks now since we got her and she and I have really bonded. She spends all day with me in my recliner, and when I go to bed she goes under the covers and curls up against me. I think we need a visit to a GOOD vet but other than that she's good to go and definitely a part of the family now.

The funny part is the wife wanted a new dog to be HER lapdog, but the only problem with that is that the dog chooses who to go to, not us. I am happy with it,

Wasn't the dog she returned her lapdog? I seem to remember that you were disappointed that it bonded with her more than you.

What's ailing Rascal that she needs the services of a better vet? And how is her housetraining coming along?

TFA/TPA Pear is good. To me it tastes like canned pears vs a real pear. That's not a bad thing or a knock on it. I've used it with FA Pear. Always with FA Pear out front percentage-wise.

I like FA Pear with INW Pear. They make for a very realistic and well rounded pear profile. I think FA Pear is the most realistic tasting of the pear flavors. Flavour Art pretty much nailed the profile.

Good to hear the TFA Pear is good. if I turn out to really like pear then I will get the INW. I have no idea if I'll like it but we'll see.

I found another 30ml bottle and mixed that easy Cookie Base that hitt posted.
