Hi from Israel!! (if anyone is here...)

Morning
nbs and nbt :-)

This is a tricky grid
it is a little stinker.
hi all clues 4 the 2ls please
I have an li5/10 that is li + the beginning of the end of a dog (the part that wags)
ty does anyone have the other one
not yet - off to lunch, bbl
Thanks for clue.
li6/21 part of a modern battery plus the last 2 from li 5/10 reversed.
Right puny grid.
packs a bit of a punch, though...
i`ve entered 9 a,s yet it wont give me fireworks ?
it's acting a bit weird today :-)
yes i`ve entered 36 yet it show 1 a missing
i used lickety to check out my answers and that shows a full grid.
i pressed control/f5 and it reloaded and accepted my full score.that took nearly 4 hours to finish glad it was`nt any more.
morning ll
all* even
aero
hi carlee!
oops
wrong window
hi sue.. hows it going?
great! I am relaxing at the moment with my sister-in-law; my son is with his cousins. all is well :-)
excellent... i have started cleaning ( oven self cleaning so windows open... ) and just having my coffee before i get really serious
The friend we are staying with has wi-fi so I am in computer heaven :-)
woot woot
am still way short on sleep but I expect I will catch up over the next few days
i am slowly catching up :)
right now I am recharging my phone so I can go out and take pictures
two things I forgot to pack: the phone USB cord (so I am borrowing my son's), and bras (so I will be doing a lot of sink laundry)
oh dear...
hello sue
hi, wv!
maat
hi vw
sorry - but not a word
don't think so, wv :-)
hello all
holy cow, look at this board! LOL
hi, leona! I found about 12 "normal" words and the rest are ones that I have never heard anyone actually use in a sentence
LOL - ok, and thanks for the warning
i got the h's - LOL
Par for the course when it comes to Enable
Enable, that will take "arvo" but not "amnio". That just defies logic.
Enable has never been pregnant.
hmmm..1/2 waybut still need that lone a in middle column for nbt
ap in
at6/21, stick a vowel in at5/12
good morning everyone
forgive the rude entrance
thanks sue..that is me nbt/nbs in 20

howdy carlee
i think... i have 8 weird ones left....
down to 11, wondering if I should list or just save the rest for evening...
...and trying to figure out when the flip is, local time - 8 am, I think...
where r u sue?
ahh off for the wedding eh sue?
ok..she is in israeli cus i know my maps...
Kibbutz Barkai, near Hadera, staying with an old friend of my sister-in-law's
israel* even
her daughter (my niece) has a house here too, so the four kids (cousins) are all staying there
yes, I changed my flag :-)
nice....sounds fun :)
it is, and very relaxing so far
tomorrow we will all drive down to the kibbutz where the wedding will be (Yahel, in the Negev desert near Eilat)
excellent... ughhh my hosue is filling up with smoke even tho i have windows open ( self cleaning oven doing its thing)
the four kids are taking the bus to Beersheba this afternoon to "hang" with friends - I am so happy that my son is able to spend time with his cousins, this is really good for him
only way my oven self cleans is if i get down there with a can of easy off and a hammer and chisel and clean it mySELF lol
what part of israel are you in??? i dont know the geography well
( I know about palestine...but not israel if THAT makes ANY sense at ALL?)
right now we are in the north, kind of west of Caesaria
ok...close to the med than river jordan.
this tiny grid is a joke, right?
a's done... 5 to go
and it took me hours to get in
((RUBY))
apparently....not ruby ( Merry Late Christmas)
I think so (drove here in the dark last night, and I was exhausted after 26 hours of travel)
Hi, ruby!!!
why did it take you hours to get in?
babble was down crossy
glad i missed that for the joy of 36 babblets
we had a 6.5 hour layover in Paris yesterday, Ruby, and took the train to the Gare du Nord and wandered around for about 1/2 hour - it was nice to get out of the airport
6.5 hour layover..ugh
what a wonderful trip, sue! I am envious
{{crossy}}
hello carlee
and happy belated Holiday to everybody
it wasn't too bad, crossy, we did get into the city briefly, and sitting in the airport is somewhat more comfortable than sitting on the airplane
and you can poke around in the airports too..i dont mind airports really
I like airports better than planes!
i like people watchingin airports
carlee, my s-i-l actually lives in Abu Ghosh now and I thought we would stay with her there, but we're here to be close to her daughter - we may stay there for a day or two after the wedding
oh day..i will visit the middle east....ONE DAY
one* day even
I had a cousin who retired to Tel Aviv but I never got to visit. I would love to go to the Dead Sea where I might actually be able to stay afloat
2 t's left

na4/4 babblet
ni4/5 babblet
I kind of figured that uusue!!! LOL!
8 to go and getting a lot harder to find
sorry, I guess that wasn't too helpful :-0
na + two vowels
is the li 6 a common word?
Seeing I have all the 6's, I knew they must be 4's or 5's...and we are playing Babble, so I am sure they are babblets.....
no, nan
Not really Cyber...it sounds like a tranquilizing medication
and in the ni4/5, the two-letter tile is the third letter of the word
mmm -- only one I can think of is valium
sounds more like a type of battery a li***um battery.
used for bipolar (manic depressive) disease, nan
True Dawg...it does.
ty dawger
or you could think of it as the plural of element #3
Got the N's....thanks!
okay, guess i better go get some stuff done. hagd everyone!
Bye Dawg! Have a great day!
bye, lbd!
fireworks!
Wahoo! Congrats uusue!

Hi scrabs!

ooh, I hate a's
NM on ta6, Monkey just found it.
It is a city name. S/L what you do to your shoes and what you do at the check out counter
whoops! Much better clue from Molly! And good morning darling!!!!

I wish they would have pulled out the Foley yesterday, and gotten him up and into a chair.

I am going to try VERY hard to keep it this way. I feel so much better in a tidy home.
well...mine has not been "cleaned" since i started school... the 5- 10 min pick up in every room..the quick once over vaccuum..but not CLEANED
The upstairs, however....welll, that will be a project for another day!
Gotta go now. Sue, have a great trip. Post pics on FB. Float in the Dead Sea for me.
That is one of the benefits of hosting Christmas Dinner....
take care scrabs

Miss you too carlee...maybe we can catch up on FB in the next day or two...but only after you get your chores done!!! LOL!
the lone a is the at5 with an extra vowel thrown in
lower middle a is at6/21
at 4/5 and at 5/12
i work tomorrow am off again thurs

Uh oh...going to check it now trif....

i wondered if that was why you were here trifs :)
I can just write it here.....
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
help with the l pls
I about PASSED OUT, I can promise you!
li6 sounds like most of a type of long lasting battery
li6 is like a plural of element #3
or what sue said :p
what is element #3?
<---In the dark about Facebook status
( go with the energizer type battery then peri)
Here it is : Apparently, I now need to wear my glasses when I am doing laundry. That way, when what appears to be a pregnancy test flies out of Fiona's pocket when I am getting the laundry together, I will be able to see it is merely a Colgate Wisp thingie, and I won't have a heart attack. Learn from my fail!
That is Trif's FB status....
thanks car -- saved me from doing that....
found the li6 ty
what a hoot, trif! Is your heartbeat back to normal yet?
I was reading it again and chuckling, so it was easy for me to copy and paste! Reminds me of my own "pot seeds in the mail"!!!!
13 left, bbs
barely uusue....but I did have a good laugh, too...
LOL. Poor Trif.
honestly, my life flashed before my eyes!
oh boy trifs..well.. woke you up at the very least :P
Had to look up Colgate Wisp. I can see why you thought what you thought.
I was just back from work, carlee, so wide awake. WIDE
Yeah, really, molly, right? They must have known when they made them....
Did you tell her yet?
so apparently Google knows I am in Israel, and is offering me a choice of English, Arabic, or Hebrew
no, she is still at her dad's. she will probs see it on FB though
OK...really gotstogo......
and be mortified that I have revealed her use of Wisps, no doubt
google does know...:) google knows i am in canada... and when i was in USVI..knew i was in states
Shalom, uusue! How's the trip going so far?
okay, car....at least I actually caught you this time, so it's all good
hehehe...google in arabic would look funny :p
ok..i am off to flip laundry and clean my family room
enjoy the day all...i will pop on later..car.ee talk on thurs <3
CAREFUL with the laundry carlee! you never know WHAT you will find!
Crap...laundry...thank you for reminding me carlee!
Bye all!
bye, carlee!
worst i will find is suppose is a used condom..but as i am doing MY laundry....that is extremely unlikely!!!!
THAT is a lot of information, there, carlee!
:)
so all 4 cousins are safely on the bus to Beersheba to visit friends...
what is the weather like there uusue?
no information at all trifs...cus there isnt anything happening...unlessi needed some oversized clearish balloons
it's nice, trif, was in the low 60s today and sunny
will be warmer in the desert; we'll drive down there tomorrow
wow, it sounds so amazing!
what a great trip!!!
*actual poof*
It really is, trif; haven't done much today (took a little walk around the kibbutz but that was it). Big stuff starts tomorrow, and the wedding is on Friday.
Fireworks!
yay, Judi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
well done judi!
I just can't budge some of these letters at all. Funny how small grids are often so hard
Small grids are always stinkers. I only recognized three of the A words. Oy.
can I have a hint for the a under the center a please judi?
Hmm. Which one? There's an At6, at5 and an at4. All very similar.
the a under the center a only has one word from it...
the one under the center is the at6 (I am pretty sure)
Oh. Ae4. Babblet.
at6 ends in a male person
Sounds like the first half of the the dynamic duo, minus the B.
So many A's, so little time.
A-men.
i have both of those....neither is from that a...
Gotta jet. My mobile car detailers are here. FINALLY!
A + a popular name for a street?
oh wait...I only have an at 5...
you have the at6, trif? it's exactly like the at5 except with an extra vowel in the middle
it was the at6. THANKS!
Forget that, wrong A
*poof* until tomorrow!
so now I am nbt, at least
bye, Judi!
car detailers that come to your home?? wild!
now,they should have a laundry service that comes to you homw and washes,folds and put away all your laundry:)
they do, crossy. it's called "moms"
Hell yes to that Trif
oof. I always forget the cat sound....6 left!
Those detailers that come to you are expensive.
good,get over here mom!
just as soon as I finish the ten loads I have to do here, pet
:(
actually,i am in good shape,2 loads to wash and 8 to fold
you do get me to wondering, though...maybe I could start a laundry service like that....
it would be huge trif...
they supply the machines and detergent and you charge per load washed and dried,folding is extra
I was thinking i could pick it up, do it here, and then fold it and deliver it back to them....
You would have to fold it. How else would you return it? Just thrown in a basket.
well then you have to charge water.hydro and wear and tear on your machines,better to do it at thier home
maybe so, yes....but what would I do while the laundry is running? I am not going to sit in someone else's house all day....
mmmm
36? wow, smallest grid i ever saw
mind you, I could babble
there is that:)
record is 26
if I kept it confined to my town, I could start a load at one house, go on to the next one, start theirs, and so on....
mm this requires a prospectus...
its a good idea, isn't it? I am sure there are folks who would pay to get the laundry monkey off their back
Would people hire out for just laundry? Don't cleaning ladies include that?
when I had a cleaning lady, she didn't
here molly maid charges 50 dollars per hour and they come in pairs..a dedicated laudry service would be a tad cheaper
Oh okay. I'm clueless. Never had a cleaning lady.
and I have well water, not town water, so I have no water bill. Electricity, on the other hand....
it is a very good idea..just needs some thought
and use that laundry detergent recipie that people have posted on here that costs pennies a load
I just gave up and got licketys list....
Personally, I could not do someone else's laundry.
with a grid this small,i am not caving till i get it under ten
I was, crossy - just had 5 left, now just 3
2
matters not to me,i have cooked for clients,cleaned ski chalets,pumped the gas,plowed the driveways..only thing i have not done is wiped their butts anfter a poop!
1
go trif!!
i did commercial laundry for a 116 chalet resort
3 story complexes 16 terraced condo,s per complex time ten complexes,of whiny over pampered citiots who think someone has to be the 0.5 % to show other their place lol
though i did get to hold a 3500 dollar bottle of vino lol
whew! fireworks!
our 100 bottle wine list was not good enough and he had us order 2 of these bottle from the city..fed ex fragile rush shipping=45 dollars,7000 for the 2 bottles,15 per bottle corkage fee at the dining room' a grand total of $7,075.00 for wine for 2 with a 200 dollar dinner lol
aa for triff!
okay, off to go finish the laundry. Babble love to all my dear ones!
stuck on at5.12 last word I bet it is staring me in the face. Hlep please
at + not female
b***** & robin
Goodness me - and I had the one before it. What a twit!! Many thanks
I want a new board! LOL = have 6 words left and give up!
you spent 7K on wine crossy <falling over in dead faint>
I believe he said he had a customer who did
I don't care what all the wine snobs here say, no bottle of anything is worth 7 grand
That's fireworks for me! Off to do my real job before I get fired :-)

bah! i tried a 4-letter kitty sound several times, but not the 5. thanks sue, fireworks
yay leslie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
can anyone help me out with ma5 please.. I've 3 left to go for my first ever fireworks..!
ma5/12, insanity
I would have appreciated a larger grid today. This is the slowest week of the year, work wise.
or Beatle-ma***
I'm new, please explain the reference to me, such as ma5/12 ????
It means the word starts with "ma" and has 5 letters and is worth 12 points.
TY uusue2 ! ONE left to get....
focal, 4-letter words points count as is, 5-letter words are point total x2, 6-letter words point total x3 etc
so if you're counting, the ma 5/12 tiles only count for 6 points, but then is x2 to get 12. so you know it's ma + three 1-point tiles
Hmm, I should have started this earlier in the day, brain is in Xmas wine decay. . .
Thanks for that LeslieAnn
Focal, if you check out the "Help" link above, there is lots of useful information there
heehee. have you checked the "lickety's babble clues" link under the grid, focal? it will give you first and second letters for each word in the grid
Oooh, just had a look, will check it out tomorrow!
Thanks again
Reminder to self: You have finished the grid. You can stop looking for words in it now.
you're welcome
am5 please? I feel I have monkey typed every combo..what am I missing?!!??!
the drummer for the muppets, minus the last letter?
scramble the middle three letters in the an5
whooooo thankyou! My first ever fireworks (and hello from Oxford uk:))

Hey everybody :-). I see that Sinead O Connor has split from her 4th husband, after 16 days!! Now, thats what I call working at a marriage!!
hiya love.
ty lynxx, fireworks! how's Melbourne today, any more hailstorms???
Sinead, the anti Catholic. lol
No...lovely few days but working up to a few stinkers!
Sinead the very very disturbed lady....
hi Soodle
OMG, thank you LYNXXX thank you - finished my first babble board EVER and I'm getting fireworks - LOL this is awesome.
HIya Lynn, Hego, Mummy et al :-)
For pete's sake I should have gotten that ta 6, after all I did read the book and all.
Congrats S'leona!
Looks ashamed....
Aw Bless, Sug. You never forget your first fireworks... :-P

Congrats sugrra
It WAS a long time ago.
Bye all
Bye Lyn and bye all
Bye Lynn :-)
hello all! L clues please
hi again all, almost bedtime here...
Hey Geek. I only have one... how somebody with a lisp might say 'List' and two vowels...
Sue!! You are in Isreal? Are you enjoying yourself?
got it
Sue, how is it? I am listening to NPR and it doesn't sound great for women
<always amazed when somebody actually GETS one of my clues :-)
it is great, science!!
Soodle, did you read Sinead's wack-a-doodle explanation of why things didn't work out? That woman is nuts.
the anti-woman stuff is mostly in a small area of Jerusalem, I think, science; my sister-in-law has a loud CD of Joan Baez that she always plays when driving through that place
lol
she thinks it's a way for the PM to get some good press (by opposing the anti-woman nonsense)
Wow. I just got a very generous Amazon gift card from someone for helping them manage their web site. I was not expecting that at all. Whee! Shopping spree!
Great, Molly!! Have a blast with it!
very nice Molly
first 1t 6 please
oops at!
nm got it
done later gators
Hiyla Molls. Nope I didn't read Mizz O Connor's rant. But, I sure do envy you the Amazon gift card... gult free shopping... Yay!!
ok, all, off to bed - may be on a bit shortly after the flip but then we are hitting the road, may or may not be online for a while
Safe travelling, Sue.
Included in her inane explanation was this..."Celebrations were marred "by a bit of a wild ride i took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed... as I don't drink," she wrote. She admitted Herridge had been "enormously wounded" by the incident.
Oh wow... I seriously don't know who to feel sorrier for... Her or her kids...
Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
Hi MIn, and I hope you enjoyed the holiday, and are looking forward to a wonderful 2012.
I had a great holiday Soodle. i hope you enjoyed yours also
I sure did, Min. All the kids home, and fighting! It was just like the olden days :-)
We had no kids fightong, but we did have 1 very cute baby
hi minver..soods...Happy Christmas!!!
Cute babies beat squabbling kids hands down, Min :-)
Hey Carlee ((())))
Hello carleekat!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
i trust santa was good to all?
No complaints here, Carlee. All seem satisfied. And in your house?
my kids are in mexico with their father... only one complaining are the animals as they didnt get the christmas giblets....as therewas no turkey
Speaking of animals,we had 6 dogs celebrating with us too
WHAT THE HECK
just one here...
yes..its only 36 words lil
Go carleekat go!
I'm down to 1 word too, but of course I'm saving it for later
Hekki lil*monkey! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
You must have been a bit lonesome Carlee. ((((())))) <mega hugs..
oh...i am done minver :) i finished this am..i am just popping in whilst i wait for some bananas to defrost...
*Hello lil*monkey!
( I meant 1 dog minver... 3 cats..1 dog )
hello evvyone!
Hey Lil :-)
i spent xmas day with my boss and her family... her daughter is i n my pathfinder group
Oh, you meant just 1 animal. Sorry. Congrats on fireworks!
hello Soodle bumless!
thanks minver...
After all the excesses of the festive season, Lil, the bum is coming back..... big time.
oh dear
*Cues up "Baby Got Back" *
there i no such thing as calories on christmas day...christmas eve and boxing day yes..but christmas day..no
i like big butts and i can not lie
Carlee, my dear.... what goes around comes around.... Your day will come.
I just got off the treadmill and I'm back to salads and whole grains so I am in repenting mode for the holiday excess.
oh..i know soods... i was fine..really..the important thing is the kids were having a great time in cancum
Pardon me while I pop yet another chocolate covered Brazil Nut into the Soodle-gob....
i did have a few low moments....but that was also because i was missing daddy...
but overall... i was really..ok
Spoken like a great mom, Carlee. ((((Hugs))))
I'm glad they are having fun Carlee. From what I've heard, Cancun is not a very Christmasy place.
i decided to go somewhere tropical next Christmas
my daughter posted she had an over cooked hamburger for xmas dinner
lil...may i suggest st croix USVI...lovely little island
amazing people
thank u for that suggestion carlee, sounds good to me!
Having spent a good few Christmasses overseas, I can only echo Dorothy.... There really is no place like home.
trade winds... i was there for xmas 3 years ago... and we had no less than 8 rainbows on christmas day...swam in the ocean christmas day... and the people are so friendly..
went scuba diving boxing day
mmm sounds wonderful
there are a few pics on my fb page lil
I agree Soodle. Home is the place to be for Christmas. And I will shut up now because I am bitter about what Carlee's ex did.
OK will check it out, carlee
Yup... With Molly on that. (((Carlee))).... Onwards and upwards!!!
And on that note, I will bid you all a very good night. Take care all, and thanks for the chat.
molls... he will get his... i got through it.. i am fine... and i will not waste energy on that arse by being bitter or angry...
night night soods if i dont see you happy new year hun
Goodbye Soodle!I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe
Who was talking earlier on before about Amazon gift cards
he is not worth that much energy... the kids are having a blast... and that is all i care about..would i prefer i was with the kids..yeap...but i am not...and.. i am just having a nice quiet recovery fromschool
I was Min, why?
I ordered something and I had a very unexpected 30 dollar gift certificate on which paid for part of what I ordered.Don't know how I got that gift certificate, but not complaining.
<thinking she is going to make cabbage rolls tomorrow > note to self..buy cabbage
Did you get an Amazon credit card? They are giving 30 dollar gift certificates for applying for those.
They also had some promotionals during Christmas where you got money back (in the form of Amazon gift certificates) when you made a purchase.
I saw the gift certificate before I even ordered anything.So instead of paying $54.00 dollars,I only paid $24.00.Hooray
Nice surprise!
Another nice surprise for me today was coming home after a long five hour drive from Vermont to a nice small puzzle.
I am craving pizza
just sayin'
I had pizza for dinner last night. Why not order Dominoes?
i just might do that
Ugh, I can't handle Dominoes
I like Papa John
Unfortunately, I have a very bad cold. Was unable to taste all of the delicious holiday meals at my Mom & Dad's house
my mom left the stuffing in the oven for 6 hours, it was little black cubes of charcoal
You could have left it out for Santa to give to the bad kids.
lol
no I told my mom she had to eat it
i don't like this grid, just sayin'
Greetings fellow babblers. Nice small grid today ...
hi sherrell
Good Evening Everybody! Small grid; is it naughty or nice?

what's up, nefertiti
Hello origami!How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
minver do u have a story
Hello Nef! How are you doing tonight? Welcome to the grid
I found 20 words listless and then got all the rest with a list
I babbled today am 5/12 and now down to my last word which I am saving for later. Here is a story of clues. So I celebrated the holidays with 13 people & 6 an5/12ls(all dogs).There was no ma5/12 with that many people and ro 4/5ing dogs in the house. Dogs wagged their ta 4/4s as they continuously tried to obta4/4 food scraps on the floor. There was also 1 baby, 2 young children (8 & 11), and a toddler. With all that though, we did not have to experience pa 4/5ful agonies of babies crying&children fighting. We all ha 4/5ed my mother for being the best host in the world.The house was decorated to the hi4/5 with wr6/33s, lights and ornaments. We wo 4/8 special Christmas outfits. The ma4/5 dinner meal on Christmas was outstanding. People celebrated with various drinks. I drank Pi4/5 Coladas mostly.We did experience a little jo4/9 when we all realized it was our 1st holiday w/out my Grandmother. I have to go feed my mi5/20ing cat. I will be back sometime later to enter last word and clue
i'm alive!

wow! so many people coming and going so fast I got confused (also had 2 phone calls -which helped cause the confusion). hurshy, who is taking care of you? Does it feel okay to have a cat on your chest?
my husband
feels nice to have cat so cuddly
he is light
is he a good (attentive) nurse for you?... I take it the cat isn't usually so cuddly?
cat IS usually cuddly
husband very good
Hi Hursh, wishing you a speedy recovery.
ty ty
help with L's too?
Great! Glad to hear that! :-) my DH is always so worried when I'm sick or have had surgery that he hovers too much. I always want to just be left alone to sleep and he's always waking me: "Do you need anything? What can I do to help?"
i guess i go now make room for another cat ttfn
Sorry, I don't have any L's
hint for at4 or na4?
Sorry, Snit. I don't have either yet (but will look)
at 4 = at + not pa
thanks, one more to go
na is N + 3 vowels
(freq. Babblet
BTW, welcome to Babble! I don't think we've met before; but I see you've been here nearly a year
thanks, I had that, still 1 to go.
tha is an ni+ not ma
yes, what I'm missing is the mi4
miat
oops
not a word; no problem
got fireworks!
good luck to you
YAY, Snitkina!!! WTG!!!!
can't find ma5. any clue?
type of madness, ken
tx gort
9 left (going listless tonight) I keep seeing "words" for blacked out tiles..
clue for the ta6 pls, anyone?
Most of what a dog wags + what you fry food in
I'm back, eating stir fried tofu & broccoli, looking for my last 5 words
is there an AP word?
I don't know, lil* I haven't found one yet
no ap
(gotta go fix supper; trying to keep DH off his sore knee
Stir fried tofu and broccoli is a far cry from pizza
Back. There is nothing like hot turkey sandwiches with gravy and mashed potatoes (all left overs) for a chilly night! :-) I love having left overs and making different meals out of them
Yummmmmm ... hot turkey sandwiches! Although lil's stir fried broccoli & tofu can be great too. My connection keeps going down so only get snippets of the chog
Yes Molly... I wanted pizza but I had tofu & broc in the fridge... yum with peanut ginger sauce
lil*'s supper is probably healthier physically; but I think mine is great comfort food so healthy for the soul. ;-)
I like leftovers the next day. After that, I freeze the leftover meat and use it later. Otherwise, we get burned out on the beef or turkey, whatever the holiday meal was.
One or two meals of turkey is all I can take
And I don't like many of the side dishes
I can't eat variations of one kind of meat all week.
esp not TURKEY
Most of my leftover Thanksgiving turkey gets frozen to make soup with later on.
we had a small turkey breast Christmas eve; then a small beef roast Christmas day. Roasted veggies with the turkey, wild rice and mashed potatoes and veggies with the beef. Lots of ways to mix and match; we aren't getting bored yet
dammit I need one more A word and then the As are done
I have 4 am, 1 an, 3 at
I have 6 left; 2 P's, 3 A's and 1 T
ae 4, lil*
ARGH
thanks Nefertiti and FISH ME
:-) well, you just told me I need 3 Am's! so thank you!
OK 4 left
I need one P, one R, one M and one L
What a small grid, geez.
the li5 adds a letter in the middle and flips the last 2 letters
I have li5, what is the other L ?
it's a bit tricky, neil
I mean stats
oops I clued the li 6/21; not the li5!
Hi Nef. Yeah, the smaller ones usually are... but not always! Happy holidays. :)
3 left
2 left
same to you, neil!
Go, lil* monkey, go!
Thanks. :)
stats for the L word? I have li5
li 6/21; it's the clue I gave at 7:02 but I said it was the li5 Sorry
that L is my last word!
OK
lil*monkey, are you one of those "monkeys" who help everyone find words and finish the grid?
FIRE WOKS!
yes I am, neil
Haha, good to know.
Yay Lil!!
And congrats.
YAY, lil*monkey!!! WTG!!!
Nef, I agree about comfort food. It is good for the soul.
I can clue if anyone needs some monkey help
I think that's why it's called comfort food
monkey, do all of the T's start the same?
eeek EEEKEKEek eeeee eeeee!
ta4 x 2, ta6 x 1 and ta5 x 1
sorry I forgot to speak english
That's what you get for eating tofu. *Shudders*
thanks; I'm missing the ta5 then.
It always kills me when people act like eating tofu or oysters or sushi is gross
Clue for ta5?
We like all of them;except soft tofu isn't a texture we're crazy for.
ta + Some*h**e over the rainbow
I use extra firm tofu, cut into little cubes like the size of dice and pan fry in a little olive oil first, that makes them a little harder
I just can't get thrilled about bean curd.
THANKS, lil*!
I can't get thrilled about comfort food, to each his own
I like oysters, Ive never tried sushi and Im not allowed to have tofu but I think I would like them both
The extra firm tofu is very good; especially cooked like that, Molly
Okey dokey, I will hush now.
axe, are you alregic or sensitive to tofu?
tx lil
allergic
yw kenny chuckles
Its soy and my cancer was estrogen sensitive so I cant have any soy products
kenny chuck, you have spelled Massachusetts incorrectly in your profile, just sayin'
it mimics estrogen in the body
Yes that is one of the reasons I eat it, a1axe
Congratulations lil*monkey on fireworks!Good for you
thank u Minver, and thanks your story was helpful
oh! I didn't realize cooked soy proteins could do that
OK must run along now, night evvyone
yw lil*monkey
niters, lil*! Sleep well!
you wouldnt beleive how many products have soy in them almost everything
Goodbye lil*monkey! I will see you tomorrow in the log
My son was lactose intolerant and I learned that food ingredients are often changed, etc. It's really important to read the labels on foods you eat all the time
I am too, Nef... although not as severely as some people. I'll get away with a little now and then.
your right Nef. They give additives names that people would have no cluewhat they really are
he can get away with some now also (he's 32 now). But til he was 7, he couldn't tolerate any lactose or whey. He had soy milk until the came out with Lactaid
You're so right, axe! Sometimes it seems like they come out with new names just for the confusion!
Oh wow! BTW; FW!
I manage a deli /bakery and you wouldnt beleive what some of the fillers are in the lunch meats.
Congratulations Nef on your fireworks! Hooray for U!
some of the lunch "meats" are less than 20 % meat
Thank you, Min
I believe that, axe. When the meat isn't in the first 3-4 ingredients it makes me wonder how they can call it that. I won't buy it
I dont either
I see, Nef. I'm not too affected by a little cream in my coffee now and then and I'll get away with a cheeseburger if I don't have onet often, but if I drink a milkshake I'll usually be sorry later.
"one" even... how I typed "onet" I'll never know.
sorry, neil; I'd wandered off for a bit. With lactose intolerance, aged cheese is okay; but not fresher cheese. The lactose is in the whey; so anything with whey will contain lactose. Sometimes Cool whip was okay for our sone to eat; other times it wasn't
son, that was
We were just talking at work today about how strange it is that all these allergies and intolerances have sprouted up. When people of my age group were in elementary school, there was no lactose intolerance or peanut allergies. It's weird.
It's turned out that in my family anyone who wasn't breast fed is lactose intolerant. I couldn't breast feed my son (I had health problems) but I did breastfeed my dtr and she was fine. I wonder about the peanut allergy being due to the fact that kids get peanut butter when they are very young?
I keep telling myself that I'm not allergic to anything and it works! Why? Back in Europe, I used to hang around with doctors (my BF was a med student). It is a fact that during the last big war, all allergies stopped. Just stopped. Because people's minds were on more important things! That told me where the trigger is and why telling myself I have no allergies WILL WORK! And it does.
maybe that's my problem and I should try to breast feed more often
Haha, ruru... and hi! :)
hi neil
Catch up. ;)
you mean ketchup with that hamburger?
I don't think that positive thinking would help my allergies erda
It might -- if you REALLY believed in what you are saying. Try it!
mine either. Currently going through bee sting shots
For what?
I have a nut allergy.. and I have to be careful
I DEFINITELY did NOT want to be allergic to bees (actually yellow jackets and 2 types of hornets)
so.. I try to stay away from crazy people too.. just in case of a reaction..
A friend of mine is going bee shots in order to help multuple sclerosis. It worked fine in the beginning; not too well later.
going = doing
My DH has MS; he's on shots but not bee sting shots; they are beta inferon shots.
do they work?
Interesting about breast feeding Nef. Because most baby boomers were not breast fed and they were the generation who had the least childhood allergies.
Crazy people, ruru? Haha, check my updates on profile from December 11. Lots of fun.
Wasn't there a war then around there, Molly? A big one?
<---wasn't breast fed
but I'm not allergic to breasts thankfully
evening folks
hello.
hi doren hi jes..
LOL ruru
what a time for you guys to walk in
same old same old ru
we've been going tit for tat with Molly for a bit
i'm glad you're not allergic to breasts, ru, if you were you couldn't hang out with most of us :)
amen
so true jes.. so true
so, reading back in the chog.... My son david is so lactose intolerant that he can't even handle lactaid. and he was breastfed (and wasn't allergic to that, but was allergic to wheat when a youngster)
at6 clue please?
When I think of the diet we were raised on; it was a very basic meat, veggies, potatoes and fresh fruit diet. We thought PB was a treat! I know my kids had more PB than I did; but they still didn't have it more than 2-3 times a week
older than attaboy
babbler becky from Great Britain is ***lante + male
i wanted to use that clue ru, but thought it gave too much away
thanks, dorens
I like my clue better
it's the head of a group of Don Cossacks
i do too
allergic to wheat, Dorens? That IS interesting!
i missed your's, ru
*looks back* ah; heheheheh. cute :)
Is allergic to wheat the same thing as having Celiac disease?
it was rough back then.. hard to find bread... the health food stores had rice flour bread in the freezer and it was all crumbly and terrible. I was always making him macaroons and sending them with him to birthday parties. he had terrible eczema
nope! not gluten, and he did outgrow it around first grade
does he use twitter doren?
my sister had celiac disease (and we're talking back in 1953---
firewords; last word was li6
well done jes
no, don't think so ru. Oh and Jeremy and his wife are vegetarian, so what do you think i'm serving them on Thursday when we have our christmukkah celebration here
yay jes
oh good.. tell him to be careful around twheating then
Farro?
oh ru, that is dreadful
ba daba boom
yes, of course farro. i've been making my own vegetable stock lately (adding red pepper flakes) and cook the farro in that. had some tonight just plain and delicious
and i'm going to break out some of the good old wines, don't have too much left.. did find a bottle of beaucastel, always liked that one
that's a good match
never had farro, what does it taste like? hi all
good. also making brisket and my mom is bringing latkes (it is a post - hannukah party too. And Rachel is brining a chicken (which I am picking up from a poultry farm tomorrow... I ordered a nice fat 5 pounder. free range, organic and all that stuff
I have a friend whose kid is allergic to nuts and all she does is go on and on and on about it. It's like the kid's nut allergy consumes their whole lives.
delicious nutty grain peri. one of my favorite things, and ruru is the one who turned me on to it. goes beautifully with butternut squash
I must try it soon then
Ooo, sounds like good eats at your party Doren.
that is sad molly. some people are like that. My daughter in law was allergic to dairy, eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish, sesame, etc when i first met her. Had to keep a list of what I could cook when she came
just stopped in to say hi, going to read for a while, see you all tomorrow
I find it sad when anyone defines themselves by a condition. There is more to a person than that.
Night Peri.
night peri
night Molly,night all
oh yes molly. we are all quite into good food. I've been baking and shopping and cooking all day... they come tomorrow. Made dog biscuits today even (and I think they're really tasty. just flour, corn meal, oats, oil, salt and an egg. not sweet. but tasty. nite peri
What a group. You even cook for the dogs. : )
i need to start closing my parentheses. ) ) ). that might even me up. I also need to find my last 12 words so i can go back and wash pans, pots and dishes.
never did that before, but my friend made them and i really kind of like them. She lent me the bone shaped cookie-cutters. SHe has no kids, so it is a bit more understandable.
HILT
wrong box, suz
Congratulations jesdraggon on fireworks!Good for U!
yea, I know. still getting used to this game!
i always go nuts when my kids come... one problem is oldest son has bad cat allergies now and i have two cats. so i'm running around trying to minimize the problem
welcome suz. just be warned that it can be addictive
thanks, min :)
already that to be the case! LOL
How do you minimize the cat allergy problem Doren?
vacuum like crazy remove throw pillows and shawls in the living room that likely have dander. Wash the baseboards, vacuum really carefully between the carpet and baseboard cause lots of hair accumulates there. that sort of thing
shave and scrub the cats :)
HEPA filter machines going full blast in the living room and dining room. And there is one bedroom that the cats never go in... I keep the door closed always. That is where he sleeps. And still, he puffs away on his inhaler and sometimes needs to go outside for a bit to get fresh air. If he lived closer and visited more, I'd take more drastic measures probably
lol jes
I'd love to see that
i actually bought something last year to wash them with that supposedly will reduce the allergic factor in their dander FEL-d1. But it is hard to get my most offensive cat to let me wash him (particularly since they say where the cat licks most often, especially the genital area). It isn't worth getting bit by him
Son to Doren: "MOm.. why are your hands all bandaged up?" Doren:"don't ask!"
what a jewish mother will not do for her children!!
God help anyone allergic to cats that goes into my kids house. There is cat hair everywhere. And the cat has no boundaries. It's up on the table and the counters, which I find pretty gross.
yeah, boundaries are needed
i have lots of critters...i don't think they belong on the kitchen counter unless they're on the menu though.
once in a while one of my cats might think so but I always let them know that I don't
Speaking of lots of critters, we celebrated Christmas with six dogs all under the table waiting for droppings
that would probably make me nervous, min
It was quite a houseful.6 dogs and 14 people at X-Mas
I wrote about my X-Mas in my story which is in profile
wasn't like a bunch of pit bulls under her table doren
actually i was at a house for christmas with 8 people and 5 dogs. but only one was obnoxious (his owner was a neurotic narcissistic 60 year old bachelor). the others were happy that they'd been fed before
geeez......
in that case ..put the obnoxious owner under the table
this is my friend who made the dog biscuits. she took very good care of the dogs. She is beginning a pet therapy business
this guy wants to be a part of it.. says his dog is a "nationally recognized therapy dog". He needs some different type of therapy for sure
USER
hello
Hi JenMO16! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
i came in at 8:59 min
he was truly so pathetic. I thanked her for allowing us to feel the christmas spirit.Conversing with this guy - or trying to converse with him - was truly a charitable act. He clearly has no friends, no social skills whatsoever. It was sad
