It is that time already! Happy Free Friday!! And on a Father's Day Weekend as well, so Happy Free Father's Day (?)
Last week we got an insight to some of your LEAST favorite flavors, and there are indeed some things that should just not be in your flavor collection! LOL Pizza, Bacon, Chicken and Waffles... "Just Say No"
However, someone that Posted is going to receive a box of Gremlin flavors just because they answered last week's question. Just like someone that says something in THIS week's post will get a box NEXT week.
This weeks Free Friday recipient did NOT like a chocolate flavor they received once, so I think I may avoid sending them anything chocolate to hopefully not be the answer if they are ever asked again. LOL
This weeks recipient is non-other than...

(YAY!!!)
I'll send you a private note here in a little while to make sure I can get you something you are sure to enjoy. Just head over to GremberryFarms.com and make sure you have an account set up so I know where to send the goodies. Congrats!!

And now on to THIS week.
If you would like a chance to get a box of Gremlin flavors, just write something in this post. Whether it is an answer to the question or simply a "Congrats" to this weeks winner, it doesn't matter. I just go by a random number and pick a comment. It's that easy. :)
Today's question should be fun (and educational!)
As most of you know (and all of you should know) most of the flavorings we all know and love are mainly intended for eating, be it in candy, ice cream, smoothies, etc. What I would love to hear is what have YOU used your flavors for outside of vaping?
One of my favorite treats is a bowl of frozen blueberries with a bit of graham cracker and some whipped cream on top. I have a whipped cream dispenser I picked up from Amazon for around $30 or so, and I use 2 cups whipping cream, 1/2 teaspoon Gremlin's Banana Cream Pie, 1/4 teaspoon TFA Super Sweetener and just a few drops of Gremlin Vanilla Overload. This makes a fantastic Banana Cream flavored whipped cream for the berries, for ice cream, for coffee, or just eat the whip cream!
I have a LOT of things I use them for, but now it's YOUR turn. What have you made that you are excited about?
EDIT: I completely forgot I was going to mention that if you have an idea for a fun question, please make a suggestion! :)
Hey Rich - it's great that you do this every week. So here's something that might make YOUR life a bit easier. It's a Reddit Giveaway Picker. Just enter the URL to this post and click the button. Seems like it would be easier than compiling a list by hand.
My wife likes to have this “coffee”, especially in the evening:
It’s for 400 ml warm water:
3 drops FA Up!
8 drops TFA Cheesecake (Graham Crust)
2 drops TFA Vanilla Swirl
16 drops TFA Chocolate
I just recently started playing with this. I had a cup of Cherry Tea and thought "I could make this!" and did. I haven't gotten the amounts down yet but I'm liking the TPA Green Tea, Super Sweetener and Gremlins Very Cherry Vanilla as a mix. It will be really good when I figure out the amounts! LOL
I'll have to try your recipe. Looks fun.
I flavour my vanilla icecream with all the flavours I have. Makes interesting ice creams. I also spike drinks with flavours: tea, soda, you name it. Once I was eating an avocado, having it with sugar was my favorite treat but I ran out of sugar so FW sweetener came to the rescue. Missed the crunchy texture of sugar but it did the job.
I use a lot of coffee creamer. Figured out I could use 2% milk, liquid Stevia, and whatever flavors sound good to make cheaper, lower calorie creamer that also has less highly processed ingredients than whatever the 'cream' is in the commercial stuff. Currently using vanilla and hazelnut. Also a great way to use up those disappointing or bad to vape chocolate and bakery type flavors!
Used FA Black Fire in place of Liquid Smoke for my pressure cooker (Instant Pot) when making ribs.
Recipe called for 2 Tablspoons of Liquid Smoke added to the water, in the bottom. I didn't have any. I substituted a ½ teaspoon of Black Fire for it.
It worked so well, I bought another bottle of Black Fire so that I can be sure I don't run out. It has that perfect blend of smokey, charred wood, barbecuey flavor needed for foods that call for Liquid Smoke at a fraction of the price! Plus it has far less liquid so the result it much less watery!
I made a horrible attempt making pancakes from scratch and didn't have vanilla extract so I tried vanilla swirl...the recipe I tried called waaaaayyyy too much sugar and it was like cake instead of pancakes 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Y'all have some ideas though! I might have to try some of the coffee suggestions.
I once used CAP White Fudge when making some sorta-vegan cookies for my sister. She asked for some special cookies she used to buy at a Whole Foods sort of store she once worked at.
They had nuts, raisins, carob chips, protein powder, dried cranberries, oats, and a bunch of other stuff in them. She said they were sort of chocolaty in flavor, too. And chewy.
Challenge accepted. I warned her they would likely NOT be vegan and she was okay with that.
She didn't want the double chocolate flavor, she said it smelled too chemically... so we tried the White Fudge.
She was soooo happy with the result. I was relieved because I had NO idea what the cookies were like, as I had never had them. I was making these things, STRICTLY off of her vague description.
TL/DR: used CAP White Fudge to make some crazy concoction of cookie more chocolaty, for my sister, that turned out well.
I really want to try a whipped cream dispenser to put yummy creams over berries and I've been meaning to pick up a diffuser!
Has anyone tried making their own candles?
Candles worked ok but some flavors are better than others. I played with making wax melts because they were a lot easier to experiment with. Also, theperfumersapprentice.com (I think that’s the right url) not only sells flavors, but perfume aromas that work really well with making candles or wax melts. I didn’t play with that too long, the diffusers are easier to play with. Lol
My wife made sticky rice with a light coconut cream sauce to drizzle over the top of it. I added a little bit of vanilla extract and a few drops of TFA Honeysuckle to the sauce in order to try and replicate one of my older recipes (https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/47795#the_white_hummingbird_by_lonesomerhodestn). It was delicious . . . I have done it every other time she has made sticky rice since.
