this grid is moving rather quickly

I am slowing at 82 though... hi josh

12:17 am

hi volley..slowing at 101..this not calling stuff is hampering me

I am still calling stuff... hi dart

never used to be an issue ... how I like to play...

12:18 am

I like it when peeps call, cos I don't like going into Licketty's till the last minute

12:18 am

so am i...same as calling a volcano or goose...or someone basically spelling out a word to someone

agreed

so if the plural of ce6 is ce5, why isn't the plural of ca7, ca6

12:19 am

someone says be+cross letter plus a certain vowel etc...might as well spell the word

agreed diz and dart... like to see how far I can get with chat help before I touch lickety... was how it was played when I first started here...

good question josh

12:20 am

I find it very easy to ignore chat

me too erda on days I want to play alone ..

12:21 am

yep...when I do I don't tell everyone else I am

lol dart, I just lurk...

12:22 am

like i just was lol

12:22 am

i like when ruru says...dart are you there?

12:23 am

I always lurk lately - come here to relax - dont need drama :)

12:23 am

and hi all

that always makes me laugh

12:23 am

nbt & nbs

too many people come her tipsy... that is when most of the drama occurs

12:23 am

100 down -- enough for me tonight -- see you tomorrow :)

12:23 am

agreed....and the few times when the list is later or not at all...most people wouldn't finish if the chat wasn't there

wtg flosey!

12:24 am

well done nan, I'll probably be in tomorrow too

true dart

12:24 am

i usually just lurk because I can't chat and look at the same time...not for any other reason

12:24 am

12:24 am

Yeah I see nothing wrong with good clues here - we all need them once in a while

12:39 am

nope or your ro7

12:39 am

thanks for the choclit stid-

12:40 am

hey sammysmom! nice icon of the "rose patrol" -- we have a nice young buck and a doe in our neighborhood. *sigh*

start with man's name + my first initial and a bunch of vowels for the ro 7

12:40 am

thx volley

12:41 am

got it

12:41 am

thanks Dee

yw ro 7 def a short poem of fixed form, consisting of 13 or 10 lines on two rhymes and having the opening words or phrase used in two places as an unrhymed refrain.

is the ro5 an anglicized spelling of that I wonder?

12:41 am

thanks for the ro 7

12:41 am

was trying to pull something over to the ier or ies or iest's

my ro 5 has to do with music

12:42 am

the ro 7 is a "round" dance, and the music that is written for such a dance

12:42 am

oops. sorry the ro 5 is that

12:42 am

wow.. I only know about "square" dancing

12:43 am

ah, tom is home with stidkid #2 :-D hope the play went well today

12:43 am

always remember that one as the street name in St. Paul that they tore up to put in I-94

hope so, too, stid

12:44 am

still have a ro5 days celebrations every year

12:44 am

apparently not... he is in a foul mood. *sigh*

ruh roh

12:45 am

even tom says that he is not worth talking to (and my tom is as easy-going as they come)

12:45 am

*heavy sigh*

hate when that happens

12:47 am

yep. well he has been going really hard since before school let out. He is just exhausted. As much as he loves the acting, perhaps three plays this summer was a bit much for him. oh well, it's the last summer for this program.

12:48 am

hey stid you are in today's grid

that seems extremely tough...

se 6/21

12:52 am

good for you! I got outside yesterday and collected over a cup of native trailing blackberries, some blueberries and 8 gooseberries from a critter-planted bush I didn't know about! LOL it was a fun trip through the garden

great finds

12:53 am

yeah, my blueberries are very tasty this year for being so cold

12:53 am

made a blueberry pie today from the garden + a few frozen from last year

re 6 x 2 so far

12:54 am

good for you flosey. i love blueberries

12:54 am

mmmm. we'll be there for breakfast, flosey! :-)

12:54 am

lol, that's what hubby is looking at for breakfast

I think resand should be a word

12:54 am

I was surprised to see so many of the native blackberries -- I know there are more in some of the less well-traveled parts of the yard, too, but... they are less-traveled for a reason!

12:55 am

I agree dee -- as in what painters of fine furniture (and boats) do

12:55 am

i don't have blackberries yet

12:55 am

they are still green

12:55 am

we have a few of the tiny ones but are almost overrun by the large ones

es 6/18

12:56 am

the himalayan blackberries are still probably two or three weeks away from good harvesting. IF we keep having sun.

12:57 am

i almost forgot the an 5/12 that works off of the no 4

12:57 am

2:03 am

I changed my icon - had 2 I wanted to use

2:04 am

2:05 am

this has always been one of my favourite pictures of hubby - he wheelbarrowed practically that whole pile of soil

2:05 am

over to the garden

2:06 am

wow! that's a big pile!

2:06 am

is it spouses today??

2:06 am

oh.. gardening

2:07 am

yes, gardening day - and that was so important to hubby that I had to include him

2:08 am

he is getting tired though - goes out and works for a bit, then comes in for tea and often a quich nap

2:08 am

awww. sweet

2:09 am

it was always his dream

2:10 am

gardening?

2:11 am

yes, growing our own - plus he sold some to the Co-Op - it's in my bio

2:12 am

mmmm I love gravenstein's too

2:13 am

I hadn't known of them until I came to SSI

2:14 am

I grew up in Washington. and my dad grew up in eastern washington on a farm.

2:14 am

ah, so you grew up with Gravensteins, lucky you

2:15 am

yes. had them in my lunch often.LOL

2:16 am

I really like granny smiths too

2:16 am

we used them back in Toronto

2:18 am

ah. and braeburns and gala

2:19 am

we did get gala in TO but didn't know braeburns

2:19 am

I love apples. but not the delicious varieties.

2:19 am

must get to bed, very tired now, goodnight m9 - luck finishing

2:19 am

golden every once in a while.

2:19 am

thanks

2:20 am

21 to go

2:21 am

I thought the delicious was the greatest as a kid - they were always in our Christmas stocking, but don't care for them so much now, perhaps the golden has more flavour? don't grow them here

2:22 am

yeah, the golden can be ok.. but not usually

2:23 am

crisp and juice, but lacking in flavour

2:23 am

must go, loved the chat

2:23 am

and it's nasty when you get a mealy one

2:23 am

ok. nite!

2:23 am

oh yuk

I admire that. I play as random as can be.

4:00 am

brb

4:56 am

fireflies. Not a hard grid. Have a good day or night all.

morning all...

6:09 am

morning anyone?

6:21 am

I think I'm anyone. Not sure yet. Maybe after some more coffee.

6:21 am

morning molls

6:23 am

How are you today Carlee?

6:25 am

i'll live...u hun?

6:25 am

I'm okay. You'll live? Something going on?

6:26 am

bad news abuot my dad...

6:26 am

Oh damn, I'm sorry. Are they saying it's not long now?

6:26 am

his liver has failed... no longer able to eat...we are going down on monday i am hoping monday is not too late

6:27 am

i get things 3rd hand...i dont know

6:28 am

(((Carlee)))) I hope that you get to say your goodbyes. This stuff is very, very hard. Again, I'm so sorry.

6:28 am

its ok.i already made my good byes...

6:28 am

but thank you

6:30 am

he had really good quality of life this last year...and has gone downhill very quickly..he is not in pain...he sleeps... its really all you can ask for at the end

6:31 am

i have to let out a dog

6:31 am

so sorry about your dad, carlee -- love to you and your family

6:33 am

I lit a candle for you and your family Carlee. If you need an understanding ear, I'm always glad to listen.

6:34 am

Morning Une.

6:34 am

thank you molls and thanks une

6:36 am

i am..ok....my daughter i think is going to have the roughest time...this is the first "death" that she has known my son had his best friends uncle...but uncle doug..was "uncle doug" as far as he was concerned was his uncle and taylor is very pragmatic... "it is part of life" yes he will hurt...but his way of coping is very matter of fact

6:37 am

hey, molly :-)

6:37 am

i made my good byes..and have made my peace...but the hardest part will be never having my dad give me another hug...

6:38 am

and that is the part that really hurts...

6:38 am

I understand Carlee. I still miss hugs from my Dad.

6:39 am

They are unique, and special, those Dad hugs.

6:40 am

there is just something about a hug from dad.. that makes u feel as if the world cant touch you... i ...those will soon be gone

6:40 am

Well in my way of thinking, they still exist, they are just different. I still feel my Dad around me all the time.

6:42 am

we shall see

6:43 am

{{carlee}} sending you all prayers and love....

6:43 am

thanks car.ee

6:44 am

((Molly)) Good morning to you as well!

6:44 am

carlee...is there anything I can do for you?

6:45 am

just say a prayer it is easy for him...and that i have strength to engure what is ahead

6:45 am

endure* i mean

6:45 am

just..being here helps :)

6:45 am

Absolutely.

6:46 am

I kept a sweater of my Dad's, and wearing it is a lot like getting a hug from him. Prayers out for an easy transition for Dad, and strength for you , Carlee.

6:46 am

Wow, Molly! That is a great idea!

6:47 am

my dad has a ring...my mum gave to him..i really cant remember any part of my life that i have not seen it on his finger....even after he remarried..is his birthstone...i am going to ask on monday if i can have that...

6:47 am

That will be a special memento Carlee. Good idea.

6:47 am

dad doesnt wear sweaters...he was a shirt...and suit jacket kind of guy sometimes a sweat shirt but not often..

6:48 am

When my "stepfather" passed away, I sang at his funeral. We wore leis in honor of their love of Hawaii and sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song. At the end of the service, I gave my lei to his sister...she took it and put it on and said, "It feels like my brother is hugging me!" I loved that.

6:48 am

but it is a good idea molls

6:48 am

I have my Mom's Claddagh ring. That means a lot to me.

6:49 am

Car, that is a lovely memory.

6:49 am

i'll never be able to wear this ring....but maybe someday i will have enough $ to have made into a pendant...is a huge cobachon ruby...

6:49 am

it is lovely..i love how people make things..individual....

6:50 am

You couldn't get the ring re-sized?

6:50 am

its a man's ring....the cobachon is almost an inch long

6:51 am

it would cover the entire joint of my finger

6:51 am

Oh, I see. Well, having it made into a pendant would be very nice.

6:51 am

( back in the day rubies were cheap....mum gave to my dad before they were married..they were still in highschool at the time)

6:51 am

I think that something someone wore all the time carries a bit of their spirit in it.

6:52 am

That is so cool carlee!

6:52 am

I agree Molly.

6:53 am

yes..same... is why i would li ke to have it...but if he says no..so be it...

6:53 am

or my step mother..my step mother...i love her..but she can be,,,, difficult

6:53 am

Who would say no?

6:55 am

she could

6:55 am

Well, I hope that no one says no, and that the ring will be for you Carlee.

6:55 am

throughout this process i have needed to essentially make appointments to see hiim.. i have not been able to just..drop in

6:55 am

thanks molls

6:55 am

I will pray the same.

6:56 am

thanks car.ee

6:59 am

I will also send out a request to The Great Spirit that everyone in your family is their best self as they go through this transition. That can make things a lot easier.

7:00 am

good idea Molly. emotions run so high at times like these...grief can be so over powering.

7:02 am

thank you..both of you...

7:03 am

{{hugs}}

7:06 am

Just remember to lean on the people who love you and care about you Carlee. That is what gets us through things like this.

7:07 am

yea... i will... thanks

7:14 am

Ugh...Mom left the cellar open...again. Dante got out....again.

7:17 am

Oops. How hard is he to round up?

7:17 am

oh no

7:17 am

Same cat that got out about a month ago and ended up at the vet with the sliced up paw.

7:18 am

He will come back, but I don't want him to be out. We live on a very busy street and we have woods all around with coyotes and fishers.

7:18 am

oh boy....

7:18 am

open up a tin of tuna and set outside the door

7:19 am

I know she doesn't mean it. I have even put up signs at the doors that say "Please make sure door is shut tight", but about once a week...a door is left open.

7:20 am

When we first moved here last year, my other cat, Reilly, got out. Never saw him again. The kids and I would be devastated if we lost Dante. He is their best friend and follows them every where.

7:20 am

like i said..put out a dish of tuna...

7:21 am

Car, your Mom is having memory issues, yeah?

7:26 am

Got him.

7:26 am

Yes, Molly.

7:26 am

Date is now safely back inside.

7:26 am

yay...got him :)

7:26 am

Whew!

7:26 am

*Dante

7:27 am

Oh good, glad you found Dante. My Dad had Alzheimer's, I know of what you are going through.

7:28 am

Luckily, there is only one way out of the maze of cellars beneath our house. It comes out under our porch. If I figure it out in time, he is usually there, which he was. A few cat treats and he is now back in. This time it was easy!

7:28 am

THe most peculiar thing...he was there licking the paw that he had hurt when he got out before. Hmmmm....

7:29 am

8:10 am

you're probably right

8:17 am

oh, well: "Tropical storm makes landfall, fizzles over dry Texas" -- apparently they won't get more than an inch or two -- coupled with the extreme heat, quite a summer . . .

8:17 am

ok gotta run -- two dog rescue transports today -- BBL byeeee *poof*

9:06 am

Good morning all

9:12 am

Hello all!

9:13 am

Hi, all!

9:16 am

<--- is about ready to throw the router out of the window. Also my son.

Morning all! How is everyone today?

9:17 am

I am good thanks, Red! How're you?

9:17 am

How is everyone?

9:17 am

Hi, red! I am grumpy. How are you?

Very well!

9:17 am

Good!

uusue, sorry you are grumpy the router and your son, not so great.

9:18 am

How is your recovery coming along, red?

I'm doing well, back to work finally on Monday, a lot less pain. No running yet, but I wasn;t supposed to be yet.

9:19 am

well, I need a new router because this one is creaking under the strain of 3 computers, an Xbox, and 3 smartphones

9:19 am

that is great, red!

Yup, I'm in a good mood.

9:20 am

and my son has now lost two charging cables for his phone (which is the same as mine) so he borrows mine for the night but then forgets to plug his phone in. So by morning both phones are dead. This has happened two days in a row now.

9:20 am

<--- Tech idiot. Did not know smart phones needed a router.

9:21 am

Not the worst thing in the world but it is one more annoyance i didn't need.

for that you can throw son out the window, just a first floor window.

tier

oops,

you cna throw me out the PB window, but do it gently.

9:22 am

Molly, if the smart phones connect to the internet through wifi (rather than through the phone signal) it doesn't use up the data plan, so when we are home they are all on the wireless router.

9:23 am

np, red, I was too busy being annoyed to actually find any words, so that was helpful :)

thanks, I am just now making Blueberrie muffins, am in a rather chuffed mood!

9:24 am

ooh, sounds yummy, red!

9:26 am

See, I'm one of those people who just uses a cell phone for phone calls. I forget that people connect to the internet with the smart phones. Like I said, tech idiot.

9:26 am

Hi Babblers, Happy Saturday to you all, grumpy sue and chef red (-:

9:27 am

me too Molly.. kids have smart phones, not me..

9:28 am

I got your email :-) :-) :-) (the smilies are because it made me very happy to hear from you)

12:37 pm

12:38 pm

thank you sue

12:38 pm

I was hoping tuties was a word!

12:39 pm

but ty, chog for the na7

12:39 pm

I like tuties, it should be a word. : )

12:39 pm

will be writing back to you soon but just got back from a frustrating visit to Comcast (where we get telephone, TV,and internet)

12:39 pm

let's take a vote!

12:39 pm

I vote for tuties!

12:39 pm

does anybody know what happens if a dog eats a wasp?

12:40 pm

my Ruby is trying desperately to catch them

12:40 pm

oh dear, ruby, i don't and would just as soon not find out :-P

12:40 pm

i can ask Frank when he comes back from doing laundry,though, he knows a lot about dogs

12:40 pm

I've seen cats eat spiders with no ill effects but these wasps are na***

12:41 pm

It sucks for the wasp. But whether it hurts the dog depends on whether it actually has a chance to sting. Dogs will react like we do - either it'll be a local swelling, or the dog may have an anaphylactic reaction.

12:42 pm

well if she succeeds AND if she has an allergic reaction, I have an adrenalin shot in the fridge, so I won't worry about it

12:42 pm

maybe she will learn not to chase them, then?

12:42 pm

For a light reaction, benadryl will do.

12:42 pm

maybe....

12:43 pm

I could just put it in cream cheese like everything else

12:45 pm

she may be the prettiest dog in the world and the sweetest and nicest (but not the smartest)

12:45 pm

I can't believe there are 17 words from that S. I've struggled just to find 3 of them!!

12:45 pm

but you're in there a couple of times!

12:45 pm

they are mostly su's

12:46 pm

and then there is a eye sore st5

12:46 pm

*an eye sore

12:46 pm

ah, there we go - i've found the ones that have my name in them, anyway *sigh*

12:47 pm

5 of them, su*?

12:47 pm

uu, there are 5 with your name

12:47 pm

trouble is when I think of my name, I never think of it as a verb :-)

12:47 pm

Im just passing thru

12:47 pm

and then we have a physics term in your honor, too

12:47 pm

stay, annie!

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

12:49 pm

ah, there it is! Thx,ruby!

Carpet cleaning is a pain in the butt. However, the results are nice. Someday I will pay people to do this.

12:52 pm

youre welcome

12:52 pm

I would pay someone to clean my carpets, if i had money...

12:53 pm

Im going to have lunch, be back later

12:53 pm

our carpet upstairs is disgusting from the dogs. fortunately, the rest of the house is tiled

12:53 pm

actually maybe i should get my son to vacuum again. he does a nice job.

12:53 pm

{{annie}}

12:53 pm

see you later, annie!

12:53 pm

I think I will go find something to eat too,haven't really eaten yet

12:53 pm

I pay somebody to vacuum and iron, the two jobs I hate!

12:54 pm

there's leftover chicken and sweet potatoes

12:54 pm

and homemade pickled beets

12:55 pm

*Sits down for chicken and sweet potatoes. Will pass on the beets.*

12:55 pm

I give up with 36 left. Good night if anybody is still here

12:56 pm

molly, you might change your mind. I make them with garlic, onions and turnip in the brine

12:56 pm

night, ruby! (I often say goodbye without leaving...)

12:56 pm

husband would never eat a beet before

12:56 pm

bye su*

12:57 pm

and those actually sound good, ruby - my mother loved pickled beets and I suffered through way too many of them as a kid but I'll bet i would like those :-)

1:03 pm

HI all! I use my grandmother's pickled beet recipe...best in the world; never get tired of them. Have beets planted this year as I have no jars left of them!

1:04 pm

Whole Foods has baby beets infused with honey that are DELISH :-)

1:05 pm

fireworks!!

1:05 pm

but I also liked the regular pickled beets in a jar from the grocery that I grew up with! :-)

1:05 pm

WooT WooT WooT miz!!

1:05 pm

congrats, mizhoffle!

1:05 pm

thank you!

1:06 pm

The only way you can ruin beets (in my opinion) is to make 'harvard beets' BLECH!!

1:06 pm

good luck..I have three books from the library I need to get on.

1:12 pm

Beets soaked in vinegar? Ew!

1:16 pm

My grannies recipe uses spices in the vinegar base....I think you'd change your mind Molly!

Oh, how disappointing, it won't accept 'eejit/s'.:-(

1:30 pm

I don't get it. Harvard Beets are soaked in vinegar. That is what I was referring to. Oh well.

1:30 pm

odia

1:30 pm

Oops! Just as well that wasn't a word.

1:31 pm

Wrong third vowel Jac. : )

1:32 pm

I don't even know why I typed it, 'cos I've got all the 'o' words!

1:32 pm

I think I need food. I'll go and make a ricey stirfry and come back later.

1:34 pm

tu

1:42 pm

Pickled beets are soaked in a vinegar/sugar brine. Some people add hard boiled eggs to them. Harvard beets are thickened with cornstarch or something. I agree . Yuck!

1:43 pm

Thanks Habes. Now I understand the difference.

1:43 pm

You're welcome.

Hey, all. Could use a clue for the second ca7, please.

4:06 pm

Hello Babblers. How are folks today?

4:07 pm

NM. Got it.

4:08 pm

Hey, wht.

4:11 pm

Hi, wht and bea!

4:11 pm

Are you melting, sue?

4:12 pm

some, bea, it is 86 here (so not horrible)

4:12 pm

some, bea, it is 86 here (so not horrible)

4:13 pm

and my router continues to hiccup.

4:13 pm

I'll take that!

4:13 pm

Hi sue

4:14 pm

I am, however melting DOWN due to router malfunctions, stress, and other things...

4:14 pm

hi, wht!

4:14 pm

but I am keeping myself together, more or less

4:14 pm

{Sending mellow thoughts Sue's way}

4:15 pm

I returned yesterday from almost 2 weeks in Hawaii. A great cure for stress.

4:16 pm

sounds wonderful, wht! I have been to hawaii several times (had an aunt who retired there) but not in many years

4:18 pm

It was beautiful. We did a bunch of sightseeing at the beginning but the last 3 days were spent on the beach in Maui, swimming, snorkelling and lying in the sun.

4:18 pm

ahhhhhh.....

4:18 pm

*Hands Sue a chilled glass of wine*

4:19 pm

Sounds great, wht. Hubby and I are planning to go for our 30th in November of 2012.

4:19 pm

ooh, nice, molly! just what i needed (being as I am not in Hawaii :-)

4:19 pm

Any suggestions on what to see and where to go?

4:19 pm

Wht, glad to hear that you and Mrs. Wht had a lovely anniversary trip.

4:19 pm

Got so mellow that even the flight back was no problem.

4:20 pm

I would say see waikiki first because when you first get there it will be wonderful; after you've seen more of the islands it will look a little tacky

4:20 pm

Molly, it was a wonderful trip. We both enjoyed it a lot.

4:21 pm

personally I find that Kauai is beautiful and lush

4:21 pm

She has always liked the beach. I have found that I enjoy it a lot as well, as long as the water is warm enough you can actually swim in it.

4:21 pm

I think we are going to Oahu and Kauai, but not positive.

4:21 pm

Ooo TNana, what a nice thing to look forward to.

4:22 pm

I also like the Kona side of the Big island (you can visit volcanoes) but perhaps that is the geek in me

4:22 pm

We went to Oahu first, and had a day trip to the Big Island to tour the volcano, then ended with 6 nights on Maui.

4:22 pm

Not sure how much time to take. Is a week enough, or do you think we should go for 10 days?

4:22 pm

really, anyplace in hawaii is very nice

4:23 pm

Lying down on floor, howling and flailing arms and legs in a total tantrum. Would SO love to see Hawaii.... :-) .....

4:23 pm

if you stay on one island a week is fine but if you want to visit several, 10 days would be better

4:23 pm

I am really looking forward to it, Molly. We've never really taken any "beachy" type vacations. Hubby isn't into it, but said he would go for me.

4:23 pm

Our waitress at breakfast the last day said that she vacations on Lana'i because it is so much mellower.

4:23 pm

TNana, with as long as it takes to get there, I would suggest taking as many days as you can.

4:23 pm

well, soodle, I would love to visit Ireland!

4:24 pm

We went to Alaska for a cruise and land tour and he loved that. I did, too, but want a warm weather trip this time.

4:24 pm

and I haven't been to Lanai or Molokai but I hear they are both nice

4:24 pm

*Hands Soodle a blankey and a pacifier*

4:24 pm

It is hard to imagine a place even mellower than Maui.

4:24 pm

That is true, Molly. We are in Montana - so not far from the west coast. Would probably fly to LA, spend the night, and then leave from there.

4:25 pm

A pina colada would be better Molls.....

4:25 pm

Molokai and Lana'i are both beautiful. We could see both of them from our hotel room. But we didn't get to either.

4:25 pm

Everyone I know who has gone to Hawaii says doing the flight in two days is the best. Smart move.

4:25 pm

Wish we could take a month and see all of the islands, but the budget won't allow it - ha!!

4:25 pm

*Puts blankey and pacifier away. Blends a strong pina colada and hands it to Soodle*

4:26 pm

Sobbing decreases to occasional blub....

4:26 pm

We spent two nights in San Francisco on the way out which was nice. We had gone there on our honeymoon.

4:27 pm

OMG soodle is here!!!!

4:27 pm

Oh, wht... you old romantic, you! I am pea-green with envy!

4:27 pm

(((((Rubes)))))

4:27 pm

hi again, ruby!

4:27 pm

*Sends Mr. Right in his corporate jet to pick up Soodle and take her to Hawaii*

4:28 pm

We also got to visit one of my wife's cousin who lives on Novato which is just north of San Francisco.

4:28 pm

It's nice to hear about the happily, long term married folks enjoying anniversaries.

4:28 pm

((((Molls)))). Shaving my legs as I type!!!!!

4:28 pm

don't hurt yourself, soodle!

4:28 pm

LOL!!

4:29 pm

Rubes - this is very late for you... Is everything ok?

4:29 pm

My wife is the romantic one. But we both had a great time. And we enjoyed spending the time together.

4:30 pm

just had my usual midnight snack, lumpfish roe and quail egg yoke. How weird and disgusting is that?

4:30 pm

Many many more anniversaries to you both Wht. Sláinte

4:30 pm

That's funny Soodle. Reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer in "One Fine Day" shaving her legs and brushing her teeth at the same time, getting ready for a date.

4:30 pm

yolk*

4:30 pm

Its called multi-tasking, Molls....

4:30 pm

I loved that movie, molly

4:31 pm

Ruby, honey, you need to invest in better midnight snacks.

4:31 pm

I'm a movie addict

4:31 pm

ty Soodle. This was our thirtieth.

4:31 pm

I think I'm cravnng both the salt and protein

4:32 pm

it's ;like sushi without the rice, wasabi and seaweed

4:32 pm

*Raises a glass to the romantic folks. They make the word a better place.*

4:32 pm

PLEASE. No food talk. (diet started Thursday & resolve is beginning to waver now..... )

4:33 pm

ah, yes, diet - I remember that....

4:33 pm

Salad is so delicious. Don't you love salad? It's just the best darned food in the world.

4:33 pm

I'll dri nk to that, Molly. To Romance, to happy marriages and to Wht & Mrs Wht! Cheers

4:33 pm

if you atre all the icky things I eat, you would probably lose weight.

4:34 pm

and celery! I just love celery!

4:34 pm

se6 clue please?

4:34 pm

Pass the lettuce, please...

4:34 pm

I don't eat salad because the vinegar makes me perspire

4:34 pm

absolutely,cheers to the wht's - may they have 30 more!

4:34 pm

Now, for only $69.95 you, yes YOU, can get Ruby's Icky Food Diet! Guaranteed to make you lose weight, puke, or both.

4:35 pm

se6 is a gathering of people where a medium speaks with the dead.

4:35 pm

I like cooked lettuce, though,

4:35 pm

Frank can't have vinegar, ruby, and puts lemon juice on his salad

4:35 pm

30 seems to be the choice to go to Hawaii!

4:35 pm

ty molly

4:35 pm

I am looking forward to it Sue. Now if we could only do it without getting old in the process. :^)

4:35 pm

that's a good idea, might solve the problem

Afternoon, hello again Sue, is the router problem fixed?

4:36 pm

ah well - 80 is the new 40, I hear...

4:36 pm

sometimes I eat avocado with lemon juice

4:36 pm

ROFL Sue!!

4:36 pm

no, red, they can replace ours with the same model (which I may try next week)

Nice.

4:37 pm

Hi guys, nice day here

4:37 pm

you can laugh, soodle, you're just a kid!

I do like Salad, ezpecially butter lettuce...

4:37 pm

{{bichon}}

4:37 pm

Hi Bich

4:37 pm

or they can get me a better one but I would have to return this one first and it would take about 3 weeks(during which we'd be without the internet) - everybody vetoed that option :-)

4:37 pm

Ooooh. I remember when I used to eat fattening food. (All of two days ago)

4:37 pm

hi, bichon!

hello Bichon.

4:37 pm

ah yes, butt4r lettuce, avocado, anchovies and blue cheese

4:38 pm

things are nice here. Finally, a day with a breeze and low humidity

4:38 pm

Hey Bichon :-)

4:38 pm

how is your hip, red?

Lucky Bichon, we are very very hot here. the pavement got so hot today the dog refused to walk on it.

4:38 pm

Anchovies are the spawn of the devil!

My Hip is doing GREAT.

4:39 pm

Agreed about anchovies Soodle.

4:39 pm

<--- used to like anchovies on pizza

4:39 pm

I think avocado is not bad for you as long as you don't have it as a side dish with tacos and tequila shots

4:39 pm

Although, we could use some rain. Pretty darn dusty

4:39 pm

Hmm, maybe I should go on The Ruby diet. I wouldn't eat much, that's for sure.

4:39 pm

I am going out for a bit now. I hope to be back later to finish.

4:39 pm

cooked lettuce would do me in, I think

4:39 pm

A friend of mine is going to Florida next week Red..... Can I tell him to expect wonderfully hot weather?

4:40 pm

bye, wht!

4:40 pm

Bye Wht :-)

4:40 pm

it works, molly.

It is Hot, and humid. THis is about the worst time to visit Florida. So yes, Hot Humid, probably a bit wet.

98.1 with a "feels like temp of 112 F" currently.

4:41 pm

I miss Miami's food and my job there, but other wise,, not

4:41 pm

I was there in June/July a couple of years ago, Red. The daily thunderstorms freaked me!

4:41 pm

4:46 pm

4:47 pm

THANK YOU SOODLE! I thought that earlier but there was no one here who would have understood.

4:47 pm

WHAT is an eejit?

4:47 pm

it's a word in Brooklyn

4:47 pm

It's the Irish way of saying idiot.

4:47 pm

oh! LOL I woulda spelt it idjut!

4:48 pm

to try and put myself to sleep I'm re-reading a great book which I'll send to Soodle after -- A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

4:48 pm

hi, stid!!

4:48 pm

And as my Irish grandfather would teach you all: How do you spell willow wood? Dubloo aye duble ell o, double dubloo, dublow dee. : )

4:49 pm

Oh fantastic, Ruby. I am in dire need of a good book. Thank you :-)

4:49 pm

will send as soon as I finish

4:49 pm

:-D

4:49 pm

ROFL Molls. Spot on!!

4:49 pm

hey sue!

4:50 pm

the best I could do was marry a Kelley the first time; it's the closest I could get :(

4:51 pm

The Irish have more fun

4:51 pm

At Scrabs recommendation, I am reading "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer. It's an awesome read.

4:52 pm

I am not reading for fun yet... soon though!

4:52 pm

Tsk, tsk Stid, you know what they say about all work and no play. : P

4:53 pm

and I am down to 23 now.

4:53 pm

I'm reading One NIght in Twisted River, by John Irving. Not quite getting into yet, though. I absolutely adored The World According to Garp, Hotel New Hampshire and A Son of the Circus'.

4:53 pm

oh, I looked at that, molly,and was thinking of trying to find it in the library - so it's as good as scrabs said, eh?

4:54 pm

go, stid!

4:55 pm

it's not that molly -- it's that my eyes can't take reading for very long yet! LOL I should be able to read again in a couple months

4:56 pm

Hope your eyes are better soon Stid. Sue, it's a very good read on what makes us tick, and how to recognize the dysfunctional ones and turn them around.

4:57 pm

hey all: in case anyone is interested, http://www.georgeharrison.com/ is streaming the entire concert for bangledesh movie until tomorrow night.

4:57 pm

sounds like I could use it, molly!

4:57 pm

Sorry to bore everybody about my diet, but..... I cooked a lovely Chicken Tikka Massala for my family this evening. I ate a yoghurt. I think that I should have automatically lost the corresponding amount of weight by NOT eating dinner tonight. (Thinking of lying down on the ground and howling and flailing again...)

4:57 pm

hey jeff!

4:58 pm

Soodle, I am hit or miss with Irving. I loved "A Prayer For Owen Meany" though. My mother-in-law met John Irving on an airplane once. She is a big fan of his. Not quite big enough though, because when he introduced himself by saying "Hi, I'm John Irving" she said "No you aren't, you asshole!" Ahahaha!

4:58 pm

fireworks! last word was ya4/8

4:58 pm

YAY sue!

4:59 pm

okay, I am taking a break. back later!!!! *poof*

4:59 pm

bye, stid!

4:59 pm

and hi, jeff!

5:00 pm

Wow, Molly. I would just Soooo love to meet Irving. I want to find out what happened to the characters after the books finished! And Woot Woot Sue!

5:01 pm

After she made a complete eejit of herself, my mother-in-law and Iriving had a nice chat. She said he is a really nice man.

5:01 pm

soodle, i'm not sure that not eating dinner is a good long-term strategy - can you make something that would work for all of you, then add stuff for the others?

5:02 pm

I was thinking the same thing Sue. Deprivation while everyone else eats kind of diets seldom work for me.

5:02 pm

Oh, Sue. The Soodle-blubber will sustain me for quite a while, believe me! Think of whales etc...

5:02 pm

so you could have chicken with a bit of sauce, plus some veg, and the others could sop up the rest of the sauce with bread or something...

5:03 pm

...or they could just be like my son, decide they don't like any of it, and go to mcDonalds or taco bell all the time...

5:04 pm

Fear not, Babble friends. Soodle will not shuffle off this mortal coil due to malnutrition.

5:04 pm

Not the point Soodle. Your body doesn't work that way. If it thinks it's starving, it's not going to burn fat.

5:04 pm

well, I could live off my fat for quite a while too, but trying to do that tends to lead me to pig out after a while (which for me is a much bigger risk than malnutrition)

5:05 pm

so i try to keep it moderate, and find things to snack on that won't totally destroy me (rice crackers, yogurt, fruit)

5:06 pm

The diet started on Thursday. If it lasts till Monday, I will eat my hat...........with fries on the side!

5:06 pm

right now I have some nonfat unflavored frozen yogurt from Trader Joes that is to die for (imho) - it is frozen but not at all sweet, quite tart in fact, and very refreshing on hot days! and about 1/3 the calories of ice cream...

5:07 pm

anyway, I am off to put my feet up and read trashy novels - see you all tomorrow!!

5:07 pm

<------------Sadly lacking in will-power :-(

5:07 pm

*Passes Soodle a rice cake*

5:08 pm

me too, soodle!! which is how i got this way = well, that and various injuries that kept me from exercising for a long time

5:08 pm

I'll see your rice cake, and raise you a burger!

5:09 pm

Anthony Robbins says if we re-train our minds to think that broccoli is delicious and luscious and we can't wait to eat it, we will think of broccoli like we think of chocolate. I think Anthony Robbins is full of it. : P

5:10 pm

I agree, molly! although I do find that if I stay away from fried things for a while, I lose my taste for them - soodle's fries don't really tempt me

5:11 pm

(on the other hand, neither does broccoli, unless you put cheese sauce on it)

5:11 pm

Broccoli/chocolate..... Chocolate/broccoli..... Hmmm. Now, which would I really like?

5:11 pm

If I can manage to stay away from sugar for a week or two, I find my cravings for sweets is minimal.

5:12 pm

reminds me of when my ex said we had to cut back the raspberries in the garden to make space for the rhubarb - I told him the rhubarb could fend for itself, elsewhere if necessary!

5:12 pm

Now I understand why he is an ex. : D

5:13 pm

I don't actually have much of a sweet tooth but do love raspberries....

5:13 pm

<------- Own worst enemy! Who started this conversation about food? Soodle! Who is obsessing about food? Soodle! Sheesh.....

5:14 pm

well, here's Frank's prescription for eating healthy: Eat real food (not too processed), not too much, mostly plants. would work for me if I could stick to it.

5:15 pm

and now I really am going to go read trashy novels. see you all later! really!

5:15 pm

Craftily steering the conversationaway from the F word... Hows that son of yours doing, Sue?

5:15 pm

Bah. Too late!

5:15 pm

oh, hell, I am never going to get out of here, am i/

5:15 pm

?

5:16 pm

It's The Hotel California Sue.

5:16 pm

anyway, he is ok, soodle, we were in court on Friday again and got the deal in writing

5:16 pm

You can check out anytime, but you can never leave....

5:16 pm

6-month continuance and then they won't prosecute, as long as he stays totally out of trouble

5:17 pm

and eventually he can get it expunged from his record

5:17 pm

Sue, I'm so happy for you. You've been through the mill!

5:18 pm

and he is finally totallly disgusted and over the girl - he is still a bit shocked at how she is willing to say anything about him (many lies) if she thinks it might keep her out of trouble

5:18 pm

Mill...grinds wheat...to make bread...back to food!

5:18 pm

oh, hush, molly! no wheat at our house anyway :-)

5:18 pm

This may not sound right Sue, but he needed to REALLY see her ugly side.

5:19 pm

August 8 we are in court again to get an order of protection, then he and I are going to go visit my dad

5:20 pm

her ugly side is pretty ugly, molly, and our lawyer was really able to tie her up in knots

5:20 pm

*whispers - now I really am leaving!*

5:20 pm

Uusue.... onwards and upwards!

5:20 pm

In a way, I think it's good that he recognized how the "rescuer" in him can get him in trouble, at an early age.

5:20 pm

*maybe if I sneak out quietly......*

5:21 pm

You can check out anytime...........

5:21 pm

*and now I am actually not here*

5:21 pm

hey, sue and molly and soodle :-)

5:21 pm

:-)

5:21 pm

Sue...minimize your computer screen and back away from the computer slowly...there you go.

5:21 pm

Bye Sue ((())))

5:22 pm

hi and bye, une!

5:22 pm

Hi Une!

5:22 pm

Hye Une :-). Molly, are you an Eagles fan?

5:23 pm

I'm actually in awe of any young person who learns to defeat that rescuer quality early on. It took me years. And yes Soodle, I am an Eagles fan. More so, a Henley fan.

5:24 pm

hi all...

5:24 pm

hey, carlee :-)

5:24 pm

Hi Carlee.

5:24 pm

5:29 pm

Oh nice music Carlee. I have it playing in another window.

5:29 pm

the conductor is my old band teacher from highschool...

5:30 pm

this spring they had a concert where they invited children and grandchildren to join the band

5:31 pm

so my daughter got to play in a concert with grampa

5:31 pm

Moll - I saw The Eagles on their Hell Freezes Over Tour here in Dublin. The music was totally amazing, but there was absolutely no rapport with the audience.Great gig nonetheless!

5:31 pm

the whole fam damily came...was really nice

5:32 pm

soods....if u EVER get to see Great Big Sea....go..amazng show..great music..and great raport

5:32 pm

<---- showing her total lack of music appreciation -I never heard of them Carlee?

5:33 pm

its ok...the canadian... but youtube them... they are a traditionalceltic/ mariner/ folk/ rock blend of a band

5:34 pm

SOODLE! Go and watch this RIGHT NOW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOw3w- 00Jqw

5:34 pm

they are kinda borderline making it very big..not sure they ever will... not like the name bryan adams...

5:34 pm

Wow. Sounds like the kind of music I like... heading straight to Youtube... (thank you Molly)

5:35 pm

... They're from Newfoundland ... have about seven CD's out ... bunches of great songs ... very energetic show ... lots of fun ... ... but not too everyone's taste ... ...

5:35 pm

... haven't done much for a couple of years now

5:35 pm

very entertaining concert...u come out smiling

5:35 pm

I am willing to be Alan Doyle's Mrs. Robinson if he should ever so desire.

5:35 pm

i went to their last concert from last album

5:36 pm

hehehe.... stand in line molls

5:36 pm

:p

5:37 pm

Blue Rodeo is another Canadian band that should have made it bigger than just in Canada. Never understood that.

5:38 pm

... a few too many funny cigarettes ... and too much beer

5:38 pm

Same thing I said about Alan Doyle goes for Jim Cuddy.

5:38 pm

Really Dose? I would think that about Harmonium, but not Blue Rodeo. What do I know?

5:38 pm

My brother worked as a family doctor in Newfoundland for about 15 years. He always reckoned that the Newfies were more Irish than the irish themselves. He may have been right...

5:39 pm

Didn't a lot of Irish people end up in Newfoundland? That could explain it.

5:39 pm

... ooh Harmonium! ... you're dating yourself with that group ... ... I still have three of their albums ... I'll have to go visit my daughter with one of them ... she's got a turntable ... I don't

5:40 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD0XihI LQzk

5:40 pm

this one live in concert

5:40 pm

"Pour Un Instant" is the only song I can sing the whole way through in French.

5:41 pm

... Newfoundland is a real polyglot of a place ... Irish Scottish Spanish Portuguese French English ... but these Great Big Sea is mostly of Irish decent I believe

5:41 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt9Iqa7 9vfU. This is my favourite Irish balladeer. Christy Moore. A gentleman, a scholar, and a good judge of whiskey. What more could a person ask for?

5:42 pm

Not much Soodle, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

5:43 pm

... I drove from Whitby to Vegas in '06 with my entire CD collection ... including "Cano" from Sturgeon falls ... singing "Au Nord du notre vie" ... ... I figure it's the first time the Rockies in Colorado have heard French singing since the LaVerendree's got there in 1750

OK I have returned yet again, I feel like I may be getting a cold. No appetite nothing tastes good...but yet I cna not sleep.

5:43 pm

And I'm sure it was appreciated Dose. : D

5:44 pm

Soodle, my favorite Irish scholar was John O'Donohue. That man was taken from us WAY too soon.

5:44 pm

sounds like us in asheville dose when we went to visit scarlet...there we were on the top of a mountain ( shot guns going off in the distance to celebrate christmas morning)...in a hot tub..listening to GBS :D

5:45 pm

... well the Ohio state police looked at me kind of funny when I blasted CSNY doing "Ohio" as I crossed the state line on my way home

5:45 pm

*Passes some hot herbal tea to Red*

5:45 pm

Red. I empathise with you, sorry you're not feeling well. But I am mad jealous of your non-appetite.

5:45 pm

this si lovely soods

Soodle, you need to just eat some carrot sticks.

5:46 pm

Oh, I'm glad ye like it. Christy Moore is a 'poet of the people'. And he can sing as well!

ANd not think about it...

5:47 pm

See Soodle, it's that easy. Eat carrots and don't think about it. Ahahahahaha!

5:47 pm

(Just joking Red)

5:48 pm

i am on chocolate overload just making the cake...i am not sure i want food

5:49 pm

milk chocolate frosting on sinfully rich home made choc cake....covered in milk chocolate shavings..then decorated with ferroro rochets, choc covered almonds and rolos...and then out of the top I have milk choc cookies, hersheys almond bars and twix sticking up out of it

5:49 pm

Sorry. I can't reply to anybody. My mouth is full of carrots....

5:50 pm

milk choco COVERED cookies

5:50 pm

*Oh dear, water ALL OVER computer screen*

5:50 pm

OK!! Thats it!!! Ban Carlee off Babble forthwith!!!! I object to this flagrant, blatent, flaunting of chocolate....

5:50 pm

oh oh

5:51 pm

<---- slinks off to corner and youtubes gbs

5:52 pm

You will have to excuse Carlee. She wasn't here earlier when you were wailing about your "eating hardly anything" diet. *Mops up more water from the mouth full of carrots comment*

5:52 pm

<----- would also slink, but cannot, due to gaining 25lbs justs reading Carlees post!

5:53 pm

<---- sitting by self..." itss the end of the world as we know..and i feel fine"

5:54 pm

Today, I put a lovely lettuce leaf on a plate and put two drops of vinagrette on it. Then I added three slivers of carrots and one almond. It was lovely and I haven't thought about eating for hours. There, 25 pounds from the c-word post is gone.

5:54 pm

5:56 pm

It's all in your head Soodle. *Blesses self for flagrantly lying to help a friend*

5:57 pm

ROFL.

5:57 pm

Soodle seriously, maybe we should both go live with Ruby. Those quail egg yolk and roe snacks would put me off of food for weeks. And the anchovies.

5:58 pm

6:03 pm

And so, the wheel turns... back to bloody food!

6:03 pm

6:03 pm

6:05 pm

Cymbal riff for Ru!

6:05 pm

beets will stain the sheeets

6:05 pm

Feckin' typical. Soodle goes on a diet, and all of a sudden, food is sex!

6:05 pm

Story of my life!!!

food is not sex. really. I know the difference.

6:06 pm

Soodle, have you considered staying on the diet and becoming a sex addict? Kind of replacing one addiction for the other?

6:06 pm

that sounds like my Kind o diet

6:06 pm

ce 6/24 anyone?

6:06 pm

burns calories too

Molly has a good idea.

6:06 pm

Strawberries stain the sheets too, but that never stopped anyone.

wonders what RU's other half will say when he tells her this.

6:07 pm

I saw the cake description. sounds delish carlee

6:07 pm

<---dreamer

6:07 pm

With m!luck, sex will make me fat

6:07 pm

ce 6/24..."very" in French + you and I are **

only if you get pregnant.

6:07 pm

thanks for the ce

6:08 pm

choclit will stain the sheets too

6:08 pm

You may say, i'm I dreamer, but I'm ot the only one.................

6:08 pm

And we all thank the dear Lord that sheets are machine washable...Amen.

6:08 pm

amin :)

6:09 pm

Amen.

6:10 pm

6:10 pm

Before this conversation descends even lower, I will bid you all a good nignt, and, like Oliver Twist, I will retire to the pit hungry but happy

6:11 pm

I could use dinner and sex actually..lol

6:11 pm

nite nite soods...{[hugs}}

6:11 pm

Please sir, don't give Soodle any more. Night Soodle. Sweet 'non-food dreams" to you.

6:12 pm

dream of alan doyle....dancing and singing :)

6:12 pm

What? Is Mrs. Ru on strike?

6:12 pm

hey ru -- no delicata.. suppose summer squash won't work?

6:12 pm

butternut will work doren

6:12 pm

And right back to food we go!

6:13 pm

ah, of course. that is closer. but i happen to have some nice yellow and zucchini

6:13 pm

i could go for a nice butternut squah bisque withjust a smattering of nutmeg

6:13 pm

but then again, i don't have the recipe yet anyway.

6:14 pm

I'll work that up right after I finish this thing

6:14 pm

and what's wrong with food molly? we all eat it, right? and some of us are too interested in it, i agree

6:14 pm

ok, no hurries ru. I don't have the right kind of squash to make it today or tomorrow anyway

6:16 pm

It was a joke about previous conversation Dorens. No worries.

6:17 pm

*Opens a Harp after listening to all that wonderful Great Big Sea music...clink*

6:19 pm

oh god. I'm blind

6:19 pm

too much food made you blind, er RU ru?

6:21 pm

the "family" over there is squabbling and she is not used to 'arab family politics...her step dad is lebanese

6:21 pm

food porn?

6:23 pm

read my choclit cake description... that food porn

6:24 pm

Oh let's see. How do we describe food porn? Okay, porn is something that makes certain people want to...the phrase food porn was created about talk that makes certain people want to eat. Capice?

6:24 pm

*Capiche

6:25 pm

thought more of vegetables in compromising positions?

6:28 pm

Great, that is making my trashy mind run wild. Limber Lettuce and Randy Rhubarb...cue bad sax music.

6:28 pm

You are not alone Jeff. I miss them all the time.

6:30 pm

crossy indulges in soft porn

6:38 pm

whoa. didn't mean to kill chat

6:44 pm

crossy indulges in bacon porn

6:45 pm

yes, but i've seen him do very intricate involved descriptions of non-bacon meals too

6:49 pm

this is true...

6:49 pm

( was sewing a button on a pair of shorts for my son who was in a panic...0

6:49 pm

but not quite as seductive as yours, hence softporn.

6:50 pm

anyway carlee, please give me my bouncie pompoms. i have fw and then am off. need a clue or two?

6:50 pm

your son is in panic for button, but isn't he a boy scout (or the canadian equivalent?)

6:50 pm

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for dorens WOOT WOOT!!!

6:51 pm

no...he did hockey...boy scouts is NOt cool up here..HOckey is where it is at

6:51 pm

for girl the guiding program is cool...for boys...not so much

6:52 pm

sent recipe

6:52 pm

yay. thanks. look forward to it.

6:53 pm

oh, well of course hockey players can't sew up their own shorts, can they?

6:53 pm

nope..the hockey gloves getin the way

6:54 pm

as does teh hockey stick

6:54 pm

that depends on where they put the puck doren

6:55 pm

ohhh, okay ru, didn't realize i need farro. not that easy to find around here. But will. meanwhile i have my summer squash and leeks and should try to find something to do with them

6:55 pm

cock a leekie soup... and cream of leek soup

6:56 pm

farro is even in Safeway now

6:56 pm

stuffed baby squash...( like u would a green pepper)

6:56 pm

wow ruru that dish must look gorgeous. If pam makes it, we should have her take photos (she's quite the photographer, you know)

6:57 pm

oh..it's colorful and not high in calories and also flavorful.

6:57 pm

ok. thanks for the suggestions. I think i will just sort o stirfry everything i have... But should add the tarragon from the garden. i like that idea.

6:57 pm

ok..i am taking a bath... and then reading..toodles all

6:58 pm

so ru, would that be a main dish for vegetarian people. or does it qualify only as a side. nite carlee!

6:58 pm

tarragon adds a delicious note to the leeks.

6:58 pm

it's filling as a main dish too

6:58 pm

it's also great as a side with lamb chops

6:59 pm

yes, and my leeks are looking like they want to be cooked today. I get carried away at the market sometimes and then forget how much is in the fridge. So i'm doing leeks and zucchini with some of your ingredients.. and i happen to have some cooked couscous so that's getting mixed in as well. will be a mishmosh, but will taste good. thanks

7:00 pm

the caramelizing adds the best part of the dish

7:00 pm

oh, and that is something i never wouldhave thought of myself

7:01 pm

I always keep several packages of Farro around the house. I can send you one if you want

7:02 pm

smile, thanks I will be sure to find it around here. Have multiple packages of whole wheat couscous and quinoa, but no farro, though I'm pretty sure I saw it recently somewhere like costco. Will get it when I get the delicata (assuming tomorrow's farm market might have some - didn't find it today)

7:03 pm

so ru, carmeliziing these leeks. i've never done.... how long? what flame?

7:03 pm

let me know if you like it.. you can do it in 30 minutes

7:03 pm

i see you sa** medium flame

7:03 pm

yes.. medium and toss them while they are cooking.. they brown up pretty quickly

7:04 pm

the balsamic helps with the glazing

7:04 pm
