good night vedaman, thanks for clues

2:25 am

Night vedaman

2:26 am

so often I want to say something about american spellings so Those 2 descriptions really made me laugh

2:28 am

nite ved

2:30 am

I have one word left, sa 5/12 . Any clues?

2:30 am

Hmmm - think I could get myself into trouble though Andree - at least the dictionary accepts the "proper" spelling

2:32 am

an italian cold meat, omit the middle vowel

2:32 am

2:33 am

Congrats ARB

2:33 am

Hello all. Congrats Arb.

2:33 am

hi mkl

2:33 am

Hi mkl

2:34 am

yay mrb

2:34 am

Looking at the chat about the "proper" spellings of words makes me wonder. There are people from all around the world using babble. Is it only in English, or does it translate into other languages?

2:34 am

hi mkl

2:35 am

Yes ... if I understand what you mean ... is there "proper" ways or not in other languages. I would expect in Chinese - Cantonese / Mandarin

2:35 am

have to put grandaughter to bed, have her for a couple of days

2:35 am

A little different as they use the same characters but the words are said differently

2:36 am

see ya later Andree

2:36 am

good morning everyone:)

2:36 am

English is a conglomerate language with words coming from many sources . So there will be different spellings for the words, since they are often just transliterated.

2:36 am

Hi jean

2:36 am

mi6/24 please?

2:37 am

mi 6/24 what a proper footman would say to his employer, slightly mispelled

2:37 am

Our government ministry have just stated here that students sitting their exams will be able to use txt language

2:37 am

thanks

2:38 am

Angb, that seems to me to defeat the purpose of teaching a proper language.

2:39 am

That's not what I meant. If you lived in China, but wanted to play babble, would you have to be able to speak English? Or does the computer translate for you?

2:39 am

Aah mkl - that's an interesting question. ?????

2:39 am

Certain languages, like Russian, have entirely different letters. I would think that would make it really tough.

2:40 am

ARB - there is a point of view that - if you can make yourself understood then that is a language?

2:40 am

mkl, This Babble works against an English dictionary called Enable. No translations. a babble-type game could be played in other languages, against a dictionary of that language.

2:41 am

Aha.

2:42 am

Angb -- yes, but making yourself understood to someone in txt language is not going to help you fill out a government form. There are times for both a slang language and a more formal language.

2:43 am

Arb. Your conversation reminds me that a few years back they considered teaching Ebonics in the inner city school systems.

2:43 am

Can someone clue the as6/30?

2:44 am

I would agree with you - but there is also - what is an exam in say social studies - is it to check whether you can speak "English" or do you understand what you have been taught - social studies or science might be a better example.

2:44 am

I'm not against teaching Ebonics as PART of a curriculum, but there is a need to learn to communicate in the common language.

2:45 am

It didn't go over too well. Sank like a rock.

2:45 am

as 6/30 a + s 5/18. spinning around

2:45 am

mkl a + sw 5/18

2:46 am

Just checked out Ebonics - interesting

2:47 am

Thanks. I didn't have the sw5/18 either. Got em both.

2:47 am

Got to go live the rest of my life. Bye all

2:47 am

Bye Arb

2:47 am

bye ARB, enjoy

2:47 am

Bye ARB

2:47 am

See ya ARB

2:47 am

grade inflation has been ongoing for decades. dilution of what constitutes a minimun to pass is commonplace. but then, I expect to see WW III in my lifetime and only the language of survival will count

2:48 am

bye ARB:)

2:48 am

It was tough Fran but doable.

3:52 am

I'm just over half-way through - some nice words but the letters seem spread out, if that makes any sense.

3:53 am

i don't know why i bother to ask, i've already started and it's not like your answers would have made a difference.

3:54 am

Hey FMitch

3:55 am

hi odin - I'm dreading a 300 plus one for the weekend

3:56 am

I feel the same...small grids are good for weekdays before work but 300 on a weekend and I will be here for hours

3:56 am

I understand the lickety has devised an 800 plus grid. I just hope he's keeping it in a secure environment!

3:56 am

Not that being in good company is a bad thing but I will not get anything elsew done before Budweiser time!

3:56 am

haz, let's hope it never gets to dr_g!

3:56 am

well - my saturday is spoken for, and sunday, well - I must start TG prep - I mean - I'd like a big grid during the week!

3:56 am

Aparently it almost escaped but is secure now Haz

3:57 am

bud - no no - we will be drinking bubbly after the game. :-)

3:57 am

Bubbly works!

3:57 am

oh my - 800? hmmm

3:57 am

It needs to be held in perpetual quarantine.

3:58 am

My husband will have a fun job on Friday evening - certifying reindeer as fit for travel back to Scotland after they have accompanied Santa's arrival at one of the local shopping centres.

3:58 am

Licketly shouldn't be alowed to play with such things, think of the consequences on the world!!!

3:58 am

how cute haz!

3:58 am

I wonder just how long it would take....hhhhmmmmmm

3:59 am

cool haz

3:59 am

Odin - it's a good thing I don't care about the stats, that's all I'll say about it. :-)

3:59 am

Not that he knows anything about reindeer but they need a signature!

3:59 am

Haz that sounds like a blast.

3:59 am

What a grat thing to have on your "To do" list

4:00 am

togo is too a word! "i want my order togo"

4:00 am

The vets all dread when the circus comes to town just in case their lack of knowledge is shown up...

4:00 am

I don't care about them either Wolvie...I had 47 left yesterday and couldn't get back to the grid.

4:01 am

haz, i'm seeing what you meant about the letters being "far apart" now.

4:01 am

I finished yesterday, but often times I have to stop and just can't get back. So it goes. :-)

4:01 am

Yes, FranMag - a word can stretch all over the grid.

4:04 am

has anyone see metaleather yet? the fo6/30 is right up her alley.

4:04 am

With the right combo of letters ed's ing's etc ...I can see how they could be all over the grid.

4:04 am

I haven't seen her yet, but she may have been on earlier.

4:05 am

She was on at the flip Fran

4:06 am

fo5/20 - a variant spelling of someone who is behind the times.

4:06 am

you talking about a cooking nut, Fran - I saw that word right off - I'm one too

4:06 am

4:30 am

You're welcome, Wolvie.

4:31 am

but we f****s do like garlic. :-)

4:31 am

the do5/14 may be kind of smelly too.

4:32 am

yeah - sock feet

4:33 am

On the subject of garlic there is a sa5/12 that sounds like the Italian sausage minus a letter. In fact it is another f4/8 dish!

4:33 am

hey - thanks for that sa, FM. cool

4:33 am

thanks fmitch!

4:34 am

You're welcome, FranMag and Buttonman.

4:39 am

hi eva!

4:40 am

hi merp

4:40 am

da 4/7 clue please

4:40 am

got it! Merp woke me up a few minutes ago doing the triumphant hunter thing and then muching the poor creature on the bath mat. Have to remember to be careful where I step when I go in there

4:41 am

da4/7 - derogative term for a foreigner. da plus 'leave!'

4:41 am

da4/7 is a derogatory term for people of Italian origins

4:41 am

buttonman, it's a racial slur

4:41 am

yay merp!

4:41 am

well at least someone appreciates him

4:42 am

Fran, this is an area I am totally ignorant of

4:42 am

at least merp didn't leave it mostly whole as a tribute to you, eva. ;-0

4:42 am

did you see haz' clue button?

4:42 am

no, he's too much of a piggy for that

4:43 am

no, FRAn, thanks, that did it HAZ

4:43 am

But he would eat them all on the white down comforter if I let him

4:43 am

Eva, at least Merp didn't present the, um, prize to you first. That would have been a great way to wake up!

4:43 am

Well done Buttonman.

4:43 am

i kind of figured it wouldn't be part of a minister's vocabulary button!

4:43 am

ugh. Mine would too. Needless to say, I don't let them. :-)

4:44 am

I just like 5 words but i am going back to bed and finish later...NITE ALL!

4:44 am

night button!

4:44 am

Good night Button!

4:44 am

He tried, but I recognizde the hunting cry even in my sleep and have learned to yell-"No Merp" without waking up totally

4:44 am

bye button

4:44 am

LOL - and wow.

4:44 am

Bye

4:45 am

now that's talented eva.

4:46 am

Back in 5 minutes.

4:46 am

4:47 am

4:47 am

4:47 am

Bye Fran, see you next time.

4:53 am

okay, I give, what's the j that isn't strawberry?

4:54 am

jo 4/9 like an io4 word

4:54 am

thanks!

4:54 am

the io is not in the grid.

4:54 am

means a bit tho

4:55 am

Thanks Wolvie - been monkeying that for ages

4:55 am

my dictionary has it as a spanish couples' dance done with castanets

4:56 am

Right - 24 left and I am consulting the list otherwise I could be here all day!

4:56 am

eva - never looked up the def - just monkeyed it. :-)

4:56 am

Thats good going Haz.

4:57 am

the def I gave was for the io word it resembled

4:57 am

I have 34 left and I think I am going to hit the list

4:58 am

What would we do without Brandyjack and lickety!

4:58 am

got ya wolvie. 19 left, but I think I'm going to stay away from the list for a while to make it last

4:58 am

wow - impressive, Eva. :-) way to go

4:58 am

of course asking for clues is more fun

4:58 am

brandyjack??

4:59 am

and lazier

4:59 am

Without Brandyjack and Lickety, those fireworks would be much less used!

5:00 am

it always amazes me when I look at the rankings though, that there are many people who complete the grids every day, never chat and probably never get help

5:01 am

probably play way more word games everyday, Eva, and they must be on to the next. :-)

5:01 am

what is brandyjack?

5:02 am

brandyjack has a list too, which was the only one before lickety made hers....

5:02 am

ah. I've never seen that one

5:02 am

Wolvie - Brandyjack is a who and a babbler that stated doing stats lists ages ago when babble was in it's infancy

5:02 am

Brandyjack is a babbler who produces two letter lists. He was doing it before lickety, some people prefer to use his list - accessed through BabAnon.

5:03 am

cool - I'll have to check it out

5:04 am

Eva lickety is a him not a her lol

5:04 am

oops

5:05 am

doesn't lickety's spouse play too?

5:05 am

That's mrpresident. Confusion is understandable!

5:06 am

aha!

5:06 am

Someone should do a family tree of babblerdom

5:06 am

Must ask her again why she calls herself that!

5:07 am

I was wondering last night what happened to our young friend from Japan?

5:07 am

That'd be fun, Eva - there are some doppelgangers.

5:10 am

clue for the ei 6?

5:11 am

don't have it or any e's yet

5:11 am

ei6 starts like the duck and ends in the spanish cheer gone wrong (replace the last vowel with another)

5:11 am

it's the only e. :-)

5:11 am

that's good(-:

5:12 am

thanks haz. I was close, but no cigar as they say

5:12 am

clue for mi 6/24 pls..... good morning everyone...

5:12 am

thanks haz!

5:13 am

5:13 am

aolists, sciolists and slobberknockers too

5:13 am

5:14 am

sorry, never heard of thunderbird parker......

5:14 am

5:14 am

Okay - it's what a servant would say to his mistress, but spelt slightly differently.

5:15 am

5:15 am

thanks, Haz

5:15 am

and Wolvie

5:16 am

Now I know what a slobberknocker is........

5:16 am

5:16 am

5:17 am

5:18 am

5:18 am

5:18 am

None that I can see

5:18 am

thanks

5:18 am

Whoops, gotta go to work, just looked at the time. Guess I'll try to finish tonight, before the flip. I've been working 7 to 11, five days a week, doesn't leave much time for babble, but couldn't resist a 93 word grid..... See ya later

5:27 am

5:27 am

5:37 am

Congratulations, Wolvie. Well done!!!

5:38 am

Hey Everyone, how's the grid ... short, but sweet or short, but pulling my hair out?

5:39 am

That's me done too - off to do my housework!

5:39 am

Depends on who you talk to..... I found it okay

5:39 am

Congrats, speelit!!!

5:40 am

Haz, if you are still here, who is Thunderbirds Parker?

5:42 am

Is there a clue for the id 7,36?

5:42 am

Finished! Done! Complete! And under a tornado watch, with the power going on and off....LOL

5:43 am

Congrats SR, but before you leave, do you have a clue for the id 7,36?

5:43 am

Congrats, SummerRose!!!

5:43 am

5:44 am

5:44 am

TY, Ka!

5:45 am

5:45 am

Have a good day, Summer.

5:45 am

You were up early to be finished already.

5:46 am

The storm woke me...

5:46 am

East coast, I take it.

5:47 am

I'm upper Midwest. For me it was the dog wanting out to do his thing.

5:47 am

Nope, Gulf Coast CST

5:47 am

My goodness, you were up early! At least you came to the right place! LOL

5:48 am

And with a tornado watch going on, I'm not going anywhere...

I hear you.

5:50 am

Where in Upper Midwest? I'm from the Chicago area

5:50 am

Originially I'm from MI, but now I live in SD.

Beautiful area. I love the big lake.

5:51 am

I am in Ocean Springs, Ms- was hit by Katrina

5:52 am

tornado ... hurricane ... lovely place to live. I'd go to Saugatuck, too, for the summer.

5:53 am

We don't get much chance these days...but it is lovely there. MS isn't a bad place to live- a hated the cold...it made me ache.

5:54 am

My sister lives in southern GA and when I go there in winter, I ache. The cold is damp and more bone chilling. Here it is a dry cold (sounds like Arizona's dry heat, LOL)

5:55 am

The lights are flickering...I need to go...Been real nice talking to you!

5:56 am

well, i'm back to the grid.

7:39 am

FIREWORKS!:) Now I can go and have some lunch.

aren't you nice TO - where does your coworker play

in a small trio, whereever they are booked

cool

7:40 am

as6 please anyone

my dubious claim to fame is that i played over 500 Nutcrackers - back when Cleveland had a ballet company

7:41 am

ursh: her skirts were all as**** when she danced; hi everyone..

7:42 am

ah ty aloy

wow that

wow that is a lot of sugarplums lol!

7:43 am

melon; just saw CIMs prod of "Latraviata and Friends".. it was awesome

hey. Al - another Clevelander! I used to play Cleveland opera - think the world of David & Carola Bamberger. CO screwed up royally when they hired Cumbley.

Chumbley

7:44 am

yup; love Bamberger too

it IS a lot of sugar plums TO - like i say, some have visions of sugarplums - some of us have hallucinations! it was a great time - the orch would do a potluck on one of the 2 performance sundays - eventually the dancers got word - those skinny kids could pack it away!

7:46 am

Have changed my icon in case I return later.

'til then Jac, baby

bye jacs!

7:50 am

hi everyone

7:51 am

hi annie!

7:52 am

yooohoo, Melon, we drove all the way to Cleveland to hear and see my favorite Pearl Fishers

7:53 am

back into the grid, before I make a go**

hi annie!

7:54 am

hi temple and aloy

7:54 am

will see pearl fishers in Boston in May

hey, inge - i played that! i think Scotty Bergeson conducted. We had West coasters show up for Meistersinger in 1995 - I think the only thing crazier than opera musicians are opera fans.

Our favorite conductor was Anton Coppola, Francis Ford's uncle - cool old dude - I think he was about 4'11" - he and I always talked about 3 things - music, movies, and food.

7:56 am

Pearl Fishers is so rarely performed. They say the scenery is difficult

7:56 am

never knew the word fo6.30 existed until today.. wow, I found my identity (-: melon: have two wonderful chinese friends.. they flew to MILAN for opera there...

7:56 am

I agree. Cried during Madame Butterfly last week in Boston. Can't wait for PF

I was in the pit, so what do I know? Then there's the challenge of getting audiences (beyond the true fans)to anything but the top 10 operas....

7:57 am

mornin babblers!

i got fo 6 too! would love a hint for id7

buon giorno evandine

7:58 am

hiya, evan.., melon: just extend your id4 to make it into a religion

id 7 : philosophy of id 6

i thought toadie would be a word, but i guess it's spelled with a Y

7:58 am

how many languages to you know, melo?

7:58 am

for the Pearl Fishers the box office had made a error and not sent our tickets, We spoke to the head honcho who ut su in the seventh row from front, WOW!

7:59 am

melon

eeek - of course - missed it by one letter - ended with a more erotic suffix.

7:59 am

hah! i was able to play the bogus toadie in a scrabble game last week, to the chagrin of my opponent

well, my french is rusty, hebrew is pretty good since i actually get to use it from time to time - minimal italian from dad's side of the family & music of course!

****** or Alwa was the southernmost of the three kingdoms of Christian Nubia; the other two were Nobatia and Makuria to the north. Alodia was centered south of the great bend in the Nile river and south into the Gezira with its capital at Soba. Most of what is known about Christian Nubia comes from either contemporary Egyptian sources and the intensive archaeological work done in Lower Nubia prior to the flooding of many sites by the Aswan High Dam...like that helps

mi 5/12: word starts with mi, has 5 letters and is worth 12 points. As a newbie, you should have a look at angelsong's page -- linked under friends of babble

12:53 pm

Welcome Capng to Babbleonia...you'll find a list under lickety's babble clues under Friends of Babble

12:54 pm

Thanks Cybernan...I will. :)

12:54 pm

Capng - have you read the Help above as well - a good start

12:54 pm

Capng, you can look at Lickety's page to get information, also read 'Help' at the top of the page

12:54 pm

hello Mymuse

12:54 pm

hi lynxxx

12:54 pm

12:55 pm

12:55 pm

12:55 pm

sorry that's the 6

12:55 pm

mi + Mona **s*

12:56 pm

thanks, lynxxx

12:56 pm

Be warned though Capng, this game is addictive, once you are in you are trapped, bu the company is very good

12:56 pm

Cybernan - what else isn't greyed out and I'l do some counts for you?

12:56 pm

Lol. Thanks ExWren. What benefits do you get my upgrading to pro?

12:56 pm

and mymuse

12:57 pm

Hi Wren -- you were in the grid on Rememberance Day

12:58 pm

Yes cybernan, but I couldn't play that day, I had a parade to go to. Thank goodness the weather was kind to us.

12:58 pm

hi all, hi wren! are you back from your latest trip again? or still in-between? (I get your comings and goings all mixed up)

12:58 pm

2 ag's, 1 ah, 2 ai's, 4 al's and 2 am's -- missing two?

1:00 pm

well good, wren. I always seem to find words quicker when you are around! :-)

1:00 pm

What benefits do you get by upgrading to the pro account??

1:02 pm

you get a cool icon/profile; you keep the tile stats and word stats you now see under the grid; you help support a really cool game and its creator.

1:02 pm

You get to play the icon theme game; see fireworks and tile stats (which will expire after 2 weeks if not proc); and it's a one tme only fee

1:02 pm

and the upgrade is a onetime fee for life, unlike so many games where it's that amount (or more) per year!

1:02 pm

right muse! :-)

1:02 pm

Capng -- you get tile stats and word stats which tell you how many you are missing from each letter and where in the grid they begin.

1:02 pm

Oooooh!! I might have to upgrade. I now know what you all mean by yay fireworks. Lol.

1:02 pm

al*5 ....al4.7 4.5 6.21 4.4 5.12

2:43 pm

There are two puppy pictures in here! Is my babycat the only kitten? uh oh! :)

2:44 pm

yup :) not for long though, we ferried over from Stranraer late in the evening, stayed just south of Belfast then drove down to Dublin the next day. saw the Book of Kells at Trinity, and just wandered around, then zoomed off to Holyhead. A *quick* trip, but at least they saw Ireland for a moment or two!

2:48 pm

And now you're going to get addicted all over again, Preethi!

2:48 pm

Atalante - you can relax for a few days, can't you, or do you have to get caught up with the w word.

2:48 pm

Good to hear you had fun. I am in Ireland rite now and it so cold and to make it worse its been raining all day

2:49 pm

Cant wait to Haz

2:55 pm

hi angb

tiny we are out of vegimite, having peanut butter, if we had vegimite it would be peanut butter and vegimite together

5:48 pm

Bilt, both of those fo words end in two vowels , third and second

very true Tiny... I knew 2 weeks into the relationship it wasn't ideal, 6 weeks in I knew it wasn't good, 3 months in I knew it was bad.... and it took 3 1/2 years , his having a child with someone else and his getting us both arrested for drug possession to leave. the only redeeming quality he displayed at the end was that he did tell the judge that I didn't know about the drugs being in the house and that I had nothing to do with them. it was "too little too late" though... that's when I made the decision to leave.... I knew that there would be a next time and that next time he wouldn't be so "gallant"....

it still took me more than a year to get my butt out, even after that

5:49 pm

yuck herin I will pass

5:49 pm

what you might call someone with no sense of humour...an old fo***, the six is a slang for someone who is into fo4.8

10:41 pm

hahaha

10:42 pm

i hope you didnt strangle poor blondie

10:42 pm

and since FDA says folate can only be added to bread products it can't come in.

10:42 pm

nope - she nearly pulled my arm out of it's socket tho

10:42 pm

does that mean that marmite is also out

10:43 pm

well, as far as I'm concerned that's ok -- don't like either of them

10:51 pm

yes metal - is it posted?

10:51 pm

lady -- that sounds impossible

10:51 pm

posting it now

10:51 pm

i don;t know about the rest of the world - but here in texas only the female of the species eats the fritos pies

10:52 pm

here I go again, whats a frito pie

10:52 pm

where are you posting the recipe, metal?

10:52 pm

frito pies and testosterone dont mix

yep and shes getting screwed daily by the people of stupid, i have learnt to fly under the radar since being unemployed

10:52 pm

beginning to feel like I live on another planet

10:52 pm

she posts in bab anon jilli

10:53 pm

ok - thought maybe

10:53 pm

does't her husband work, herin

10:53 pm

andree - for those of us who ar enot cooks - it's a can of chili, fritos, and cheese - brave souls add onions

10:53 pm

I don't know what a frito pie is either, andree

10:54 pm

actually ren it sounds like something most women would go near

10:54 pm

metal has posted 2 different recipes in bab anon - the real things

10:54 pm

and right up a guys alley

10:54 pm

wouldnt

no andre he doesn't as the job fell through, they moved back home brb

10:55 pm

it's like jack in the box tacos - the women of texas love them - men - not

10:55 pm

sounds like the more you eat the more you toot

hang on brb gotta talk to my mother

Hi, all - I am back to finish (hopefully). 39 words left and daddy is in bed with the kiddos - all three are asleep - wahoo!

10:55 pm

ok chj - maybe just where i live where the bubbaettes reside

umm is this frito pie thing chilli con carne mix (meat) over tacos? as this sounds more blokie than girlie being bean related which equals farty pants

10:56 pm

hi tea

10:56 pm

I dunno ren... I lived in TX most of my life, and all the males in our family ate Mama's Frito Pie...

10:56 pm

hi TcC -- gogo!

10:56 pm

not bean related at all herin...

10:56 pm

real chili never ever has beans in it

mmmm, frito pie - you all are making me hungry!

10:56 pm

your mama was a good cook metal

10:56 pm

can you send some bubbaettes up here to ct?

10:56 pm

go TnC go!

10:57 pm

oh that's right -- I heard about beanless chili as being the real thing

10:57 pm

you want some bubbaettes chj? oy vey! are you sure?

10:57 pm

i bet there was chili with beans more than chili w/out beans historically speaking and such

10:57 pm

hahahaha

10:58 pm

can I send some fem. coona****s along?

10:58 pm

tastier with beans and probably a lot better for you

10:58 pm

there may be now... but historically, chili was, and still is made only with meat, masa, water and spices

10:58 pm

let's do that metal...hahahaha

10:59 pm

and, with beans tastier? that's sacrilege! ;o)

10:59 pm

it's tantamount to saying you can make chicken fried steak and not serve it with cream gravy

10:59 pm

what is a coona****

10:59 pm

but historically beans were more common than meat. I'm just saying that since meat was more scarce than beans....

11:00 pm

it's a polite way of saying coonass which is a slang term for cajuns

11:00 pm

was that bleped because it was naughty or because its a word from the grid

11:00 pm

aha

11:00 pm

true enough kierlex... but on cattle drives they had beans cooked separately from the chili...

11:01 pm

aha a bubbaette

11:01 pm

I bleeped it because it was "naughty"

11:01 pm

metal -- I looked at your recipe and it asks for a can of chili -- but doesn't that have beans?

11:01 pm

not good chili jilli

11:01 pm

your tummy only has the rumbles from beanies if you don;t eat them frequently. if you eat them on a daily basis there are no tummy rumbles

11:01 pm

look for the kind that says without beans

11:02 pm

I don't think beanless cand of chili are available here

11:02 pm

Wolf Brand if possible, or Austex.

11:02 pm

talking beans, eh?

30 left

11:02 pm

others are "ok"... but not quite as good

11:02 pm

wolf brand is the best in a can

11:02 pm

yep

11:02 pm

i was reading wikipedia just now and it has an interesting article about chili con carne (no beans!).

11:02 pm

hey ya chic!!!!!

11:02 pm

11:04 pm

I'll go look; I know I've had something like that...

11:04 pm

ill make up a big batch and have em for a week

11:04 pm

i love bush brand vegetarian baked beans

11:04 pm

beans on toast? *shivers at the thought

11:05 pm

add ketchup, dried mustard, brown sugar, minced onions and crushed red peppers

11:05 pm

I adore baked beans

11:06 pm

metal do you mean you buy meat in tins?

11:07 pm

finally! done. does anyone need any clues?

11:07 pm

sound yum chj, haven't done home made baked beans in years

11:07 pm

now a big ol' bowl of red beans (pintos, not kidney beans) and a thick slice of onion on the side, and sliced tomato on the side... and maybe fried potatoes to go with it. now that's good eating

yay, harp!

11:07 pm

yahooooooooooooooooooharp

11:07 pm

yay harp

ok what did i miss, is this frito pie thing what i said?

11:07 pm

11:08 pm

11:08 pm

11:08 pm

i am so stinking hungry!

11:08 pm

yayayya harp!!!!!!

11:08 pm

sorry metal, when you said a can of chilli do yoy mean meat

11:09 pm

that recipe sounds so good metal! i love warm lettuce and cheese and chili

11:09 pm

rennie, we always have crackers and peanut butter for snacking, i love peanut butter

so your telling me that my corn chips and spagetti bolanes sauce is a version of frito pie

11:09 pm

I've just had fritos on the bottom of a bowl of chili, cheese and onion on top.. my fav brand of canned chili is Armour....

11:09 pm

me too fran

11:09 pm

oh.. no, it's not meat Andree, more like a thick stew with meat in it, but not just meat

11:10 pm

Armour's a good brand too

11:10 pm

thanks fran! i do have some natural pb yayay

11:10 pm

I don't thinkI'd call it Frito Pie herin, but if ya like it I say call it whatever you want

um im lost

11:10 pm

stop chic!!! i do have a can of wolf brand chili - i do have some fritos and i do have some cheese.....

11:11 pm

i ahve some lettuce and some tomatoes.....

11:11 pm

sounds like rennie's got the makings of a frito pie!

11:11 pm

feast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

11:11 pm

dinner!!

um are fritos a brand of corn chips

11:11 pm

ill take a slice please

11:12 pm

yes infernal

11:12 pm

The think about the way Mama made the dish is that the lettuce stays crisp and if you broil the top layer of cheese fast enough, the lettuce never really warms up but the top cheese layer still gets melted and a bit browned

11:12 pm

my favorite 'goulash' is can of chili, with sauted onions and ground beef, with leftover brown rice cumin more chili powder and lots of cheese all melty together... yum comfort food!

11:12 pm

yes herin

11:12 pm

the best corn chips around

11:12 pm

some for me please, love to try it sounds yummy even if it has no beans

11:12 pm

just read the wiki thing on chili con carne -- I wonder if we can get Wolf brand here but I don't think so.

oh ok cool so i do do a dish like frito pie ill have to try it with corn carnie next time

11:12 pm

order it on line jilli

jillli make your own chilli con carni

11:13 pm

ya probably could, but almost any brand will do.... I just like Armour, Austex and Wolf Brand because that is what I've always used and had available.

11:13 pm

I don't recommend Dennison's though.

um sod diving into puzzle

11:13 pm

oh yeah, this lazy cook-for-one is going to make chili, in your dreams!

11:13 pm

in Guam we make something called chicken kelaguen, chopped up chicken with onions, lemon, sometimes coconut and hot pepper. it's my favorite thing to eat with fritos.

11:13 pm

or Bush's brand

11:14 pm

oo that sounds interesting, Fran!

11:14 pm

I don't think online food ordering works between the US and Canada...

11:14 pm

fresh coconut right Fran, not the sweetened kind used for baking?

jilli its not that hard

11:14 pm

hey make a pot on youll have leftovers for weeks

11:14 pm

definitely ml.

11:14 pm

leftover chili is great

11:15 pm

ML, check out www.guamdiner.com for that recipe

11:15 pm

make a big pot of chili jilli, then freeze it in serving size batches and you won't have to make it again until months from now.

11:15 pm

chili is one of those things, like beef stew, that's better as leftovers

hi guys

11:16 pm

yeah - what fran said

11:16 pm

hiya pappa

11:16 pm

actually I do things like sauce bolognese and freeze it in little containers, so could prob do that with chili -- but then I do like the beanie kind too, which i make myself VERY occasionally

11:16 pm

11:35 pm

I just changed mine, too
