baking bread, listening to blues, drinking vodka

1. I feel you

I'm making beeswax candles drinking tequila and listening to the Dead!

[Marthe48]

2. kindred souls

Hope your candles turn out exactly the way you want them to.

4. thank you!

My wife and I just started making them this year using the wax left over from the cell caps when we extracted our hives. Still trying to get the mixture right of beeswax to coconut oil... some have cracked in the jar when they dry but I think they will still be ok.

10. I've never made candles

Hope the candles work. I have some beeswax candles made by rolling flat sheets of wax into a short column. Too pretty to use

12. interesting...

I make beeswax/soy candles... haven't tried coconut oil... what's your current take on mixture??

[jcgoldie]

14. well

The recipes say like 1 lb beeswax to 1/2 cup coconut oil which is supposed to slow the burn and keep it from tunneling. But that is for folks buying cleaned wax. We have wax in different stages of clean since it came from the beehives unprocessed so it seems to vary based on how old it is...

3. Sounds so relaxing...

I’m having to do a system restore on my computer because something hiccuped and now I can’t access folders or use spotlight to look stuff up. First time in 20 years I’ve ever had to do this on a Mac.

5. Getting organized to do some baking tomorrow for a year-end event at the rescue barn

But thinking single malt instead of the vodka. Think I'm in more of a jazz mood tonight.

Excellent post!

6. For me, it's cheap beer and expensive as hell...

...medical cannabis!

Have fun!

7. Try this one:

“Everything is Broken” done by R. L. Burnside.

Someone suggested it here a few days ago, and I have played it like, 40 times since then! Can. Not. Get. Enough.

It’s a kitchen dancer, for sure!

8. You know it's a Bob Dylan song, right?

It a popular one to cover.

17. Wow! An iconic song for our times.

That was great! Thank you for sharing.

9. We're having a party!

Nice comments Nice evenings

11. drinking wine here...

ordering supplies for my business and making tofu/veggie stir fry

it used to be bread for me until we went Keto (miss the smell of fresh sour dough bread out of the oven)

[Marthe48]

15. I cut my carbs in half

the beginning of Oct. I have been baking a loaf of bread about once a week or so and doling it out till it is time to make the next loaf

I didn't go Keto, but since I cut carbs, sometimes I have fewer than my limit. All good!

13. The 'drinking vodka' part, I can definitely get behind...

[Marthe48]

16. yep :)

18. This reminds me of a little ditty I learned from my first ex-wife: One martini, Two Martini, Three

Martini, FLOOR!

19. My sister got me a tequila shotglass

With that ditty on it. Totally wrong for me. I rarely dtink tequila. Lol
