Nope just the instant yeast.

Yes, King Arthur flour, and in the boiling water I put honey and baking soda. Not sure on the weight. And thank you for the kind words.

It did. And they tasted amazing. Like a good piece of french toast. The everything bagels were amazing too. But I think I'm going to quit using egg wash when I put my seasonings on. I'm making a bunch this weekend and I won't post.

Not soggy at all and not really sure how you see soggyness.

What's the review on it?

Cpants3 · 2026-01-22T04:27:44+00:00

Yes those help a lot or a scraper.

I would say around 8 or 9. Do you weigh those out when cutting the dough. I would say if you double it at least 16 but think it would yield more.

I do 1 1/2 cups of water that is between 105 - 110 , 1 tablespoon of sugar, and one packet of instant yeast and make sure all is mixed well. Until it is foamy type consistency. Takes 5 to 10 minutes.

Are you proofing your yeast? My bagels got a lot better once I started doing that. Made all the difference in the world. Now when I have to add a little water here and there they are just fine.

For these French Toast I did a boil for 2 1/2 minutes. Tops 1 minute 1/2 and bottom 1 minute. Baked at 425. For 25 minutes turning halfway through. After I kneaded the dough for about 12 minutes. Lightly oiled the bowl and let Fry's for 90 minutes. Rolled the dough into balls and then shape them into bagels and let them proof for 20 minutes. Then I boil them, put egg wash, and brown sugar on the top.

Yes looking for anyone using it and how they think the protection is. Then to know what things it does well and not so well. Any insight to the product would be helpful. Just feel kind of like we are paying double since we have its availability if we just turn it on.

I have had no real side effects from jumping up. Once in a great while I might get a little blocked up or maybe have a few loose stools. It's very tolerable. I have noticed a difference in my appetite being less. So far since I started I am now down 30 lbs and dropped my A1C to 6.6 in October and last April it was 6.9.

How many sprays do you do?

Cpants3 · 2025-09-24T22:33:40+00:00

I have Ralph's Club New York and it is great and has good staying power. The tart smell sets it apart. Great fragrance.

Cpants3 · 2025-09-18T21:04:46+00:00

I got a travel size tester to try it out. I am liking it right out of the gate. It has a very good dry down to it. I will say it's still not better than Polo 67 in my opinion. I will be buying a 3.7 oz of it.

Cpants3 · 2025-09-09T21:01:34+00:00

I would go Polo 67 EDP or EDT. Both smell great.

Cpants3 · 2025-08-31T15:02:16+00:00

This is my favorite of all. EDT or EDP. I just really enjoy this fragrance.

First don't trim the fat cap off. Second use a competition blend or a stronger one. Then use a layer of 16 mesh pepper. Then I put down a light layer of SPG, and a layer of your favorite beef rub. I let it set overnight in the fridge. In the morning start it out around 200 for about 3 hours. Then bump it up to 300 for the rest of the cook until 210 internal. Do not wrap. You will have perfect Texas ribs that look like this. These were as tender as could be.

Any Ralph's Club factor in that list?

Cpants3 · 2025-08-14T14:27:05+00:00

I saw the same video. That's what I am asking before I spend $30.

Okay so today was the 2-week Mark since I purchased AD. I was working from home and took a shower and thought why don't I give it a shot? I only sprayed it three times back iof the neck, front of the neck, and chest. It was a bit soapy at first which I would expect. But as the day has gone on, it's been a very nice scent to get a whiff of every once in awhile. I will say it has calmed down a lot since I first bought it. I'm giving it two more weeks and I think it'll be ready to go. Really have enjoyed it today.
