Wow! Guess it isn't just my lazy stirring habits! Yep, my FO is a thick yellow color--I was amazed that the white stayed as white as it did. I think this is just a bad FO. Now I have to worry about the other 3 scents I got from them. Maybe just a hard lesson learned. But I've never had this trouble with other vanillas. Of course, they weren't from LS. Thanks for all the advice and fun! Karen
