> The Game AKA last week’s Digest had an unexpected amount of excitement and participation from ya’ll. 300+ comments, 48 1-2-3 recipes, and just an all around fun and creative thread. This week will be a subtle change but should expand the possibilities considerably while still restricting the choices enough to be challenging. Let’s Mix 2-4-6… Same rules as last time: Post a recipe name (or profile idea) and one of the three percentages and/or reply to another recipe with a flavor at whichever percentages are left. Vote on the combinations that you would want to mix. Contest mode will be enabled this round so jump in whenever because the comments will be randomized and the votes hidden until Friday.

 

#Highlights from Last Week

• /u/ID10-T posted a call to action. “Paying it Forward” is all about the Suggest a Recipe thread posted here, there and all over but often overlooked not only by those wanting to use it, but those with the knowhow to make decent suggestions. It’s a good cause, people. Flex your creativity and mixing prowess while earning some good karma. Win-win.

• /u/SendPicsOfBoobz is a blatant masochist but let’s all savor their suffering as they suffer through some savory Worcestershire.

• /u/heimsins_konungr has gone from their busy and intensely crafted Shinto to a somewhat simpler and yet intriguing combination of flavors in Desert Dew.

• /u/akatash23 put together The Definitive Guide to Cleaning Your Plastic Bottles which is a much more eco-friendly approach to freshening up your bottles than my current method of throwing it away and using a new one.

• /u/Nutsog quit lurking long enough to recount their experience as a new mixer in “The Journey Begins.”

• The 2019 Front Page Recipe Book is up to date, for now. 23 recipes and counting.

• How to piss of DIY’ers with one sentence

##Mixin Vixens > From Emily (/u/mlNikon) "Mixin Vixens is a diverse all female mixing panel on a YouTube weekly show that airs live Sunday’s at 6pm Eastern. Weekly we take pictures submitted by our viewers and each of us interprets the picture and converts it from a visual to a taste. After 4 rounds of mixing we allow the Man Team to critique our recipes and give us hell. Week after week we provide knowledge and entertainment. Month after month after we pick the recipe we want judged the judges come in knock us over the head and there is only one woman standing."
