Everyone has a slightly different way to make spaghetti sauce ....
that gets them good results. You can write this all down, and hand it
to your friend, and they won't come up with exactly the same taste.

Also ... when you move from one kitchen to another, your same old
spaghetti sauce suddenly tastes different and you can't quite get it
that way again ... so you have to experiment a but until you get one
that suits you again.

I think the spaghetti sauce paradigm may be operative in the terped
pastes. Because terped pastes are tenfold more complex than
henna/lemon/wrap there are far more ways for it to go astray ... BUT
... I know I'm NOT the only one getting killer results, because I've
had emails and such from others who are succeeding with this.

So....

Perhaps more patience and persistance is needed for each person to get
the results required (everyone has to fiddle in their own kitchen to
get the sauce right), and after all, we've only fiddled for a month
and a half with this, so there's bound to be room for improvement.
Should people who are having difficulties simply perservere?

OR>>>>>

Is there something I'm doing that I'm not aware of, and haven't
communicated properly? This would be for Zimra and Shanon to answer,
because they've watched me mix and sling all summer. ???? Did I get
the Sirius Mixes written up properly? Am I missing something?

It seems absurd to assume that I've cut some deal with God to get
magically, inexplicably better results than everyone else.

So, how do we get to other people getting comparible results to mine
... OR ... do we just deal with the fact that this is a complex,
tweeky, sort of alchemic art form, people will come up with a range
of results, and each has to be responsible for fine-tuning their own
mix?

Or am I just lucky?

down the rabbit hole wondering if I've left something out in the Sirius Mixes
