A way around the pronoun nonsense is to continuously use the person’s name. People can change their names, even if it just a preferred one, but not their sex.
Overuse of pronouns can cause confusion anyway.

Here are my notes
Extract recipes
How long does it take to make extracts?
It only takes a few minutes to combine the ingredients for these extracts. The process by which the flavor is “extracted” from the ingredients, takes about 5 weeks.
Should I strain the raw ingredients from my extract liquid?
The raw ingredients used to extract flavor need to remain in the vodka for a minimum of 6 weeks in order for the flavor to be fully extracted. Once the flavor extraction process is complete you can choose to strain the extract, removing the raw flavoring ingredient. The best way to do this is to place a fine-mesh strainer over a funnel and pour the extract from the original jar into a new, clean jar for longer-term storage or gifting.
Ingredient Ratios for Common Extract Flavors:
* Vanilla Extract: 4 to 6 whole vanilla bean pods (3 to 4 inch) + 8 ounces vodka
* Almond Extract: 1/2 cup raw unsalted slivered almonds + 8 ounces vodka
* Lemon Extract: 2 lemon rinds, peeled into strips + 8 ounces vodka
* Orange Extract: 1 large orange rind, peeled into strips + 8 ounces vodka
* Mint Extract: 1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves+ 8 ounces vodka
* Coconut Extract: 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh coconut meat + 8 ounces vodka
* Cinnamon Extract: 4 sticks whole cinnamon + 8 ounces vodka
Pro Tip:
Vanilla beans can be reused multiple times to make vanilla extract. After the initial 6 week extraction period you can strain your extract and start the process over again, using each pod 3 to 4 times.
Storage Instructions:
Extracts don’t go bad due to the high alcohol content. Keep them sealed, in a cupboard, and away from light and heat and they should keep indefinitely.

Fantastic opening post, CottonBall!!
My lipid panel, cholesterol level, went way down after doing a modified keto diet, lots of fats and protein, plus green leafy vegetables. If you don’t eat too much you will be fine. If you lower your carbs you won’t crowd out the Proteins and fats and you will enable the nutrition to float into the cells and not hang out in the blood stream, yo! jus sayn
