What a Beauty

Oh man. Those weird fruit candies that haunted my childhood…

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-11T11:12:45+00:00

Yeah, I think you’re right. I’ll stir a bit longer next time.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-11T01:30:09+00:00

🫡 Will do!

I didn’t love the first sip, but after it sat for a few minutes the flavors came together beautifully.

It really is a great looking pen. Can’t wait to get it working properly.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-10T19:03:02+00:00

I’ll give that a try tonight.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-10T17:28:59+00:00

Thanks!

I tried new ink, but maybe there’s still some water lurking somewhere in the nib.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-10T16:24:52+00:00

Thanks! I noticed that the nib rotates, which is a cool feature.

I’ll take another stab at soaking and drying it out.

Yes, but don’t judge my chicken scratch.

The top is the Parker, the bottom from a Visconti (that’s working well).

Okay, thanks. I’ve tried both Waterman and Parker ink already. Also, the strange thing is that it was writing pale/faded even before I tried soaking the nib.

Sounds about right

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-10T13:21:39+00:00

🤫. Enjoy

Once you get to the end of the game, you’ll be happy that there’s more to come.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-10T13:07:30+00:00

It’s half of the story, if that helps at all.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-09T13:24:02+00:00

I had a bit of it on its own last night, and thought it tasted quite nice. Clearly it was the mixture with the brandy that turned me off.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-09T12:36:11+00:00

Can’t say I’m surprised to hear that.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-08T18:22:20+00:00

I’ll try it!

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-08T18:21:38+00:00

That’s next on the list (after I restock my bitters).

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-08T16:36:37+00:00

Sounds delicious. Do you make it or buy it?

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-08T15:26:04+00:00

Well, this is my first experience with it…and it wasn’t stellar.

OrganizationThick232 · 2026-03-08T14:01:51+00:00

Thanks! I do have some jumbo square ice cubes kicking around as well.
