We Quit Cigarettes

[duluthralphie]

Vodka for base in extracts???! May I ask what "quality of vodka"? I'll admit to being a serious light weight with alcohol but, I'll just as easily admit to being an alcohol snob just the same. After all, if I'm gonna taste something it's not gonna be crap. My annual consumption can be calculated in the 6-pack per year category. And has been that way for, well... At least 40+ years of my life.... There were a few years where that avg. was breeched, 2 of them birthdays & once while in the Navy after graduating Rescue swimmer school.

You would be a drunken Souse compared to me.

I get that strange look when I am asked by medical people about my alcohol consumption. I am sure they think I am lying as people are either teatotalers or drinkers.

My reply is always “ I suppose a drink every couple months”.

I only have one week left of magicsl blue pills.
I'm not sure if I'm getting excited to be done with them or nervous.

Probably a little of both. Don't worry about it though, just take it one day at a time.

We do this as well. My sister=in =law started it by making everyone homemade vanilla extract for Christmas one year.
Will have to try orange and lemon as we have Mayer lemon, blood orange and navel orange trees. Any advice for the citrus extract?
Thank you

My extracts aren't finished quite yet, but for the orange, I peel off very thin strips of the rind with a knife -- if there's a bunch of white pith on the strip, just scrape it off with the back of the knife.
I used... maybe a tablespoon or two (roughly) of rind to about 2/3 cup of vodka? It's been sitting since March 13th, so I'll try using it after May 13th.
The vanilla has been sitting since the fourth of February, and isn't quite dark enough for my satisfaction. I might try it in May. One scraped bean to about 1/2 cup of vodka.

Thank you, that's kinda what I figured
