ELR Mix-Along (March)

Hehe @Lynda_Marie yeah, BA is straight up spoiled cheese and vomit.

To be fair to Flavorah, and all the BA Lovers/Haters, I use a TON of TPA’s DX Sweet Cream which does rock the BA. It isn’t detectable in the steeped/finished mix, just to be fair …

This is what I get for procrastinating. One of your recipes is creepin’ up on one of mine, lol. I’ve been sick so that’s my excuse but hopefully I’ll get it posted soon. Just needs a taste test. Which one, I’m not going to say.

Oooooh I’m sorry you’ve not been well @muth . :bouquet: :sparkling_heart:Been dealing with some physical issues myself for a few months. Younger folks have no idea what they might have to go through when they get older. And, procrastinating is easy at times when there are ‘physical interruptions’ to our otherwise normal day to day lives and “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” :blush: :hugs:

Thank you and I’m sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with some issues yourself. May you feel better and healthy real soon.

They might not have to wait too long. I just read an article that colorectal cancer is increasing by 2% every year among people younger than 50. It pays to plan ahead and try your best to lead a healthy life but even then there’s no guarantees. However, I’d rather be in good physical shape if something nefarious hits. It’s always easier to fight when starting from a place of strength. What do you think?

Thank-you! I hope you’re feeling better soon, too!:kissing_heart:
“What do I think?” I think you’re right. Most all poor health issues are related to what we use as fuel in our bodies. I agree. Fortunately my overall health is fantastic because I cut out all sugar & carbs maybe 20 years ago. So, all my “numbers” are consistently in the “normal” range in bloodwork. Haven’t had any kind of cold or flu in all this time as well. I’m just dealing with an inherited gene for a particular ‘problem’ that finally showed up 5 years ago that is progressing and I’m checking into some alternative treatments. It’s a kind of watch 'n wait scenario from here on out. I just tire more easily now from the body fighting it…which of course leads me to procrastinate more. Frustrating! :crazy_face: :rofl:
But my faith is powerfully strong now. The Lord works in mysterious ways. He walks with me if I’m on top of the mountain or going through a valley. “His grace is sufficient.” 2Cor 12:9 :blush:

Faith is a powerful thing. Unfortunately, I think too many people make it complicated. Doesn’t have to be. I chose an alternative path for my condition because it was known to have successful results vs traditional Western medicine. For me, it was acupuncture. I hope you find the best way to improve your health condition. Many good days ahead for you, my friend. And now it’s time to taste my mix.

Lol, just tasted it and it seems the flavors have faded or something. The pcts are on point but I’m not getting the flavor intensity I hoped for. I’m dripping it in an RDA that I know is flavorful so idk…scratch my head.

Hey @Rocky02852 if I don’t fix my mix in time for March is it okay to use my TMA mix? (don’t want to but just in case, for a back up?) :pleading_face:

If it was mixed in March, I don’t see why not…

Thx Rock, yeah it was mixed for last week’s show but I’m still going to try and get this current one right because I’m stubborn and I don’t like giving up on it.

BOGO :rofl: Throwing in a twofer just for kicks. The Brandy Alexander is just the way I intended, a straight up, original classic and delicious off the knuckle (read notes re pic). The freebie, Jack Coke is another simple, no frills drink. Both easy to mix.
