I’m honored to have Zazie on the Chef dais with me!!! It’s going to get crowded though, we have a bunch of real cooks around here ;).
The yogurt and flour tricks are Intro to Cooking level. But I’ll gladly cede my crown to anyone who can scratch make better croissants or puff pastry. I don’t make either often enough to equal a patisseries quality as I’m woefully lacking in patience lol
I haven't made much puff pastry. Honestly, I think I prefer regular pie dough.

Have you made Kringler, Mel? It's a super-easy Danish pastry and very tasty. Especially fresh from the oven.

Watch the lavender, too much and the esters in it will melt orings and such. I’d probably let the other rest for a week, but if you’re impatient try it after 24 hours. To me snv is really 3-7 days before I test it. Think of steeping like letting a fine wine breathe for a bit. Can you drink it right away? Yes. But a rest makes it better. More rounded, fuller, less sharp
Didn't know that about lavender. I'll only use it very sparingly anyway, I think, because it seems like it could take over really easily. It certainly does in cooking.

If that doesn't work have you got a really strong magnet? I missed any earlier posts so don't know what else you've tried. Good luck Sara

Edit : or if you get desperate (and don't mind sacrificing the battery) you could very carefully araldite the end of a dowling rod or something like a flat bottomed screwdriver handle of 2cm diameter to the exposed end of the battery and pull out when dried

    lol_ you seem to have missed my halal remark: not exactly the right audience for a wine analogy
    oh i heard you and others the first time on lavender_ and even then my idea of takingiteasy turned out way too much_ at this point i'm starting it from .08%

    Pretty much a shake and vape but I would give it 2-3 days :)

    oaaaaaaarright sir
    i take it this is also your advice on apple-kiwi-mint?

    I don't know about lavender but the other should be shake & vape. I have a Grapeberry Ice that is shake & vape. DRIP IT & RIP IT!

    danke schoen! am i missing the moral from the mention of grapeberry?

    FA mandarin does fade so mix with other faders or add it 3 days before your ready to vape the mix. INA cactus & FA white grape hold up well, no idea about the mint or lavender.

    later addition of faders? that's a new factor no one's brought up before :facepalm:. should've gotten into vaping (or it should've been invented) when i was 16_ this such a fun, sophistaced world_ so little time though. noted for next round... that or i should renew it. how the heck does the oneshot work so well then_ if tried at shakeandvape and two months later...

    My avatar pic was taken 30 years ago. I'm old and tough now. More pet food than cold cuts

    LOL_ oh i'm sure we'll gets somes juice outta ya!:p

    Yep...pretty much all fruits are more or less ready straight away and tend to be quite volatile so they fade quite quickly. Lemon Sicily fa for example is a lovely vibrant lemon straight away but after four or five days it changes completely and the lemon almost vanishes....

    Have to disagree about most fruits being snv or faders though FA Sicily is very bad about fading very fast. My other lemons pretty much last for months. Many of my oranges don't fade and are best after a few weeks steep. Same with most of my berries. Plums and pears do have more fade issues for me than most other fruits.

    Lol. And, I don’t drink. I was just trying to come up with an analogy that made sense. How about mukhalal? Yes, you can eat it in a day or so , but it’s better after a couple weeks pickling and getting mingly.

    I’m a bit nervous to screw around with the battery but hopefully the freezer will work.

    Update: thank you to whoever suggested this weeks ago @NolaMel @Letitia ? Left the Thor mod in freezer 20 minutes. Battery didn’t come right out but some very gentle tapping on the counter w a washcloth got it out! Mucho gracias mi amours

    Now the next problem is what batteries will fit it? The only other two I have are the discontinued Joy somethings. Ah 1st world problems. Can’t wait to use it!! Thanks
