Im convinced it has something to do with the dirt in southern new mexico. noo place has chile's that taste the same as there.
Oh for fucksakes you deserve a medal...you survived TorC...my brother is living in Tor C right now he used to live in Silver City...
I don't know a s a little kid I spent a couple of years in Yuma arizona, and that was like the dark side of the moon, I've seen alot of the southwest....but Tor C....yep that's right up there with Yuma ...hot, dry......and 10 miles beyond where God lost his shoe.It really was not that bad back then. Even tho as a young lad could not wait to get away from there. And See the wide wide world. Funny part tho was when I was going through Boot camp and would tell my fellow recruits that I was from New Mexico. And Some of them would ask how I was allowed to join US Navy Being that I came from another Country. Doh!
) Delicious. Cookie was the predominant base player with the others mere supporting players.
Since I mixed mine 15 days ago, I don't have to.
Mine though is not the same as published. I do not have FA Red Wine and used .4& FLV Sangria. I also do not own any FA Orange and substituted FA Royal Orange. In the finished mix, it's really tough to find any orange flavor notes.
In Squonk's fine Mexican Sugar Cookie recipe .75% of FA Anise is called for. That flavor amount was too dominant for me and the 1.75% called for in this recipe would be far more than I seem to recall in my favorite childhood Christmas time cookie. To be sure, purely in the cause of vape science, I trundled off to the store and purchased the updated version of....

I'm glad I did. While the 1.75% Anise called for in this recipe may be correct for wllmc's cookie, it would be overkill for mine. I used .5% of the Anise and it was perfect for me and the correct matching flavor intensity level. Thankfully, it only took me 4 boxes of cookies to verify that.
The underlying base flavors to showcase the slightly dominant Anise were completely balanced to match my childhood cookie. (It only took me sampling 2 more boxes to determine that
Unfortunately, I only made 10 mls and there is no possibility any of that will be around for a 21 day aging/sampling. I'll be making more tonight!
Thanks wllmc!

Im sure sangria would be ok and worth trying out
the Mama Js store version had red wine but its a recipe that can easily be adapted to taste
actually at one point my mom did use a wood burning stove.....but my memories of her cooking was hardly fond....she would have made a great cook on a viking longboat.....ironic though......her mother was one of the best cooks I've ever come across in my entire life.If your Mom used a wood burning stove, an addition of some FA Black Fire to the recipe might be just what you need to renew those fond memories.
