HA! I had a friend as a teen that we used to duck tape to a chair when he was sleeping.
I can't like you anymore. J/k

Wait, did you know each other in your teens?I can't like you anymore. J/k
True. I just hadn't realized cinnamon would be one of them. *cough* Next time, less cinnamon. I think I will add a bit of ginger too, or maybe even cardamon. There is also nutmeg and cloves in this, but not much. The result is somewhat one dimensional flavor wise. The textures isn't terrible, but it's not fantastic either...Strange how some spices and hot peppers in particular intensify with freezing.

I'm thinking I'll just do vanilla a few times, until I work out a recipe that produces the texture I'm looking for. I'm wanting a longer melt time in the mouth then this has. I really dislike ice cream with a lot of fat in it though. To me it tastes greasy.
That must be a relief. It sucks thinking somebody really might be trying to seriously hurt you..
It really is a relief. I was a nervous wreck for months last year. I would wake up a few times every night and run out my front door with a golf club yelling obscenities trying to catch someone in the act. haha..
When I make ice cream, yes. I can drink milk in moderation, eat one yogurt, or eat as much cheese as I want. Ice cream, or lots of milk, doesn't agree with me though. It isn't a big deal, but if I'm going to make it I'd rather not have the lactose to deal with.Do I remember you saying you don't do dairy and use coconut milk? I have a hard time with unfermented dairy products, but cheese and yogurt are fine. My wife has been making some great yogurt that we've been using in sauces and such lately..
So, your neighbors now think your nuts.It really is a relief. I was a nervous wreck for months last year. I would wake up a few times every night and run out my front door with a golf club yelling obscenities trying to catch someone in the act. haha..
Hmm, a shotgun doesn't need to be walked you know.Had a couple meth heads get lost on their way to their dealers house and end up in my driveway last year. They were just the pathetic and stupid kind of addicts, not the scary kind, but still had me on edge. We've got plans to move up to the hills in the next few years and I'll be getting a German Sheppard to train as a protection dog for my wife. I've always wanted to train a working dog and she's always wanted something to hurt bad people if I'm not arround to do it.
So, your neighbors now think your nuts.

Now THAT'S a good story!Funny, that doesn't stop me from taking my shotgun for walks when I see people parked in the GD pullout for the phone transfer station. The guy who used to own our place was old and a little gone in the head when he leased the land to them for 20 years or however long. I finally got the phone company to block it off, it's supposed to be chained, but that dissapeared. The posts still keep people from pulling in. Before then, every time some dumb a$$ wanted to get high or meet their dealer, or get their freak on, they thought the pullout on our property looked like a good place. If it's dark, their headlights would shine right in our bedroom window. I'd grab the gun and my phone and dial 91 before I strolled over to see what they were doing. More often than not, they were dropping a turd when I knocked on their window and then apologizing profusely and promising not to stop there again. The day I walk over because I heard the car stereo was fun. Two guys who looked like bangers with facial tattoos were sitting their rolling a blunt. Thought I might have bitten off more than I could chew. They didn't speak English, but understood 'policia' and saw the phone in one hand and the 12 gauge in the other and thankfully they left.
Well Dan, not exactly true(at least from my point of view) You are currently changing up ALL of your comfort areas to give up what you have for what may be. Pretty sure that takes a little testicular fortitude
Beaks, thank you for the nice thoughts. Your kind words of support will help me get through this sh7t'
I'm not really sure about my life changing move. It might be testicular fortitude or maybe just stupidity. We'll all find out sometime next year.
Tonight I talked with a young person that epitomizes perseverance and testicular fortitude. I fall short of this.
A girl, friend of my daughter. This girl is 21, was born the PI, had a baby at 17, and now lives here in the USA, on her own means. (fast food place, no insurance benefits)
Hell, when I was that age my only worry was where to get laid and how to save enough money for some Bose 901 speakers..
This girl is putting a roof over her head, and she does for a few other people as well, plus she emotionally and financially supports her daughter in another country. I'm over twice her age and don't have that much determination or courage.
If there's trophy for TF, which I don't think is a formal one. This young lady. Stephany, would win it; in my book - At least.
I spent all kinds of money on security stuff around the house last year. I lost a ton of sleep thinking someone was trying to off me by cutting my brake lines. And it was just a stupid dog! haha..
I wonder how a Brettanomyces Lambicus and black cherry juice brew would be? I wonder if it would still be appropriate to call it wine?
Interesting, brett character in wine is usually considered a flaw. Odd that it's used deliberately in beer then. Perhaps it's the tendency of wine to have a higher ABV. Therefore more of the brett flavor is produced. I'll have to think about that.
I would suggest drinking water or gatorade. You are probably dehydrated. The alcohol is going to make that worse. Well, the shot will. The beer should have enough water in it to out weigh the alcohol.I feel like I can say with great confidence that it will be very good, and you should send me a bottle when it's ready! PLEASE!
Do you guys every get a thirst that you can't seem to quench?? That's how I feel tonight. I have to be careful when I feel that way, because I could chug beer at a very fast pace. Next thing you know.... I'm tanked! I've had a 6 pack of various beers and a shot of whiskey and I'm still thirsty, but I'm cutting myself off before I HATE the morning time....
I was thinking about running two batches simultaneously. One of straight black cherry wine, one of black cherry with brett. Then blending.Get a little maltose in the equation just for balance, and I bet it works out just fine!

I do have a pound or two of dme someplace I could add to the brett batch. Hmm...

The bending sounds like a good idea.
I am bender, insert girder.
Why is it that every time I open the door to my linen closet, my cat crawls in there? It's a closet.

Hmm, well I'm 28. It's not going to kill me tomorrow. I'll think about it more then.Sounds like cyclothymia or even bipolar disorder.
Many sufferers resist treatment because they don't want to lose the "highs", but especially with the latter it generally ends up becoming a destructive force in their lives.
LG, maybe the shots hadn't kicked in yet when you last posted. That was a few hours ago so bet you're sawing some logs by now
I'm now a grandpa! My oldest daughter gave birth today. 6lb baby girl, Gracelynn Hope. Mother and baby doing well. : )
Thanks LRB. A new life brought into this world today. It happens everyday and always a wondrous event. A new life.

There are several wineries known for their Brett character. Unfortunately the prices are above even my most expensive & treasured beers in the cellar and I can't justify dropping that kinda coin on vino.Leadgolem said:Interesting, brett character in wine is usually considered a flaw.
