    They are free to my friends. Unfortunately haven't figured out how to ship them without them getting messed up. Suppose could send without the frosting on or filled ...then the recipient would just need to put together...lol

    Got on a little baking kick today...made 6 dozen cupcakes, 3 different varieties. Lime with homemade lime curd filling & lime curd flavored swiss meringue buttercream Then Red wine chocolate cupcakes with mixed berry red wine compote filling topped with mixed berry red wine swiss meringue frosting. Then vanilla cupcakes filled with a brown royal apple caramel apple filling topped with crown royal apple caramel cream cheese frosting. In the oven right now are harvest pumpkin ginger & cranberry scones (edited to add picture of scones fresh out of the oven)..
  3. I would just try a little piece of threading tape around the bottle threads...like the white they use for water pipe fittings to prevent leaks....
  4. Sturgis Camaro Rally, last weekend in June. 2017 was the 6th or 7th year...of which I have attended twice. In 2016 Adams Polishes sponsored a special show n shine award. But did not see any representation other than that. This last year did not see any.. Am guessing that 200-300 Camaros is not a big enough venue? Not being snarky...just a straightforward question/observation....
  5. I am really good....at being bad! LOL. I have to laugh every time a guy says they have to either hide their latest Adams Polishes order or find a way to justify it to their wife. I am a wife and would love it if my husband bought Adams stuff....instead I am the one haviing to justify the latest Adams box...lol
  6. Reflection on the rear passenger door & part of the rear passenger quarter panel of a 2013 Blue Chevy Avalanche after heavy correcting compound...before any additional steps! Owner (aka hubby) takes this truck through a brush car wash weekly as he has a membership for $40 where he can go through once a day if he wants....so you can imagine how bad the swirls were!
  7. Love our Laguna Blue Z51 3LT Stingray. Liking all the carbon fiber on yours.
  8. I have friends ask about my detailing their cars and am open to doing so. They want more than just a wash...they want Interior vacuuming and usually at least a quick wax. In your list I would substitute the dry car with H2O Guard & Gloss instead of detail spray & air blower. Reason is that it will give shine & protection for a month & is great for daily drivers. That is then great selling point to your service vs a Car wash, and is not that much more of an expense on your part. My daily driver detail starts at $100 & includes the interior vacuum. If they want interior detail (not incl carpet shampoo) then it is $150...and I will include the window sealant on the windshield. You coukd add paint Sealant as well. Full show ready detail, which includes paint correction & ceramic coating, starts at $650. Caveat of course is must see vehicle & give estimate based on condition (black cars usually are more). Also...a lot of people are using F11 now....if they have used there is an additional fee for removal. In reality there are a number of detailers in my area who will not detail cars with F11. Just some things to keep in mind.

    Yesterday took some thick cut pork chops and cut a slice in the side down to the bone & then seasoned the pork chops outside with am applewood rub. Then took the pork chops and browned them in a frying pan that had seasoned with olive oil. Set the pork chops aside while making the stuffing (this allows them to cool a little for ease of stuffing). Next, sliced up some applewood smoked bacon into small pieces & put them in the frying pan to cook until almost done. While that was cooking, diced/chopped up white onion, mushrooms, and granny smith apples which I minced. Sauteed the onion & apples in the grease from the bacon, then added in the mushrooms once the onions were starting to become transluscent added in a sweet pork seasoning. When done, deglazed the pan with apple juice. Took the bacon, along with the onion/shroom/apple mixture and put in with the bread crumbs, including the apple juice used to deglaze the pan (helped give the bread crumbs some additional moisture)...which then mixed up. Spooned the stuffing mixturee into the Pork chops. Placed the pork chops in a casserole dish that had coated with olive oil & added a little apple juice to the bottom, covered with foil. Cooked at 400 degrees farenheit for 45 minutes (or longer depending on your oven). Took the pork chops out of the pan. I then made a cream gravy with the drippings/juice that was left in the pan (good 3-4 cups). If there is not enough juice in your pan, you can deglaze it with some additional apple juice/water. If you have extra stuffing put it in a bread pan and cook in the oven for 15-30 minutes. Asparagus with cheese was the side vegetable. It was served with a dry Riesling wine. Overall was a big hit and the stuffing was delicious! I meant to take a picture...but forgot...sorry!

  14. I like it in the house too! We have four dogs though...granted three are poodles so no shedding, and the Doberman is not smelly, but still when it is wet out and they roll all over the carpet...

    Haven't figured out a way to ship my cupcakes....believe me you are not the first to have asked either. This year at the Camaro Sturgis rally, there were several online Camaro friends finally got to meet in person, and I was actually able to bake cupcakes while there for them to have some. Good thing too, as after meeting up the next question was "where are the cupcakes?" LOL The Mustang group that occasionally hang out with knows me by my HotWheels Camaro and as the "Cookie lady" as I usually bring cookies to their meet ups.

    Made these for a gathering with the Vancouver Camaro Group Food Drive fundraiser and Camaro Trivia contest. They are pumpkin cupcakes with a cream cheese cake filling, topped with a marshmallow meringue frosting, edible glitter, sprinkles & holiday themed candy bits. Recipe is from Taste and Tell Blog....in case anyone is interested in trying. The pumpkin cupcake is not very sweet (which I liked) and was really moist. My cousin who tried it said tastes like a pumpkin pie. Don't let the frosting type mislead you, it does not have marshmallows in it, just that it is light and airy like a marshmallow....and the little bit of sweetness goes great with this recipe since the cupcake itself is not overly sweet.
  18. That circuit may had other outlets on it as well and something used a little more power. We have that issue all the time in our house, I can only hook up the pressure washer on certain outside outlets, as some of them are on the same breaker as the inside! Need to move them...but for now just knowing which ones to use & not works. Christmas lights are an even bigger challenge!
