150 down - will finish tomorrow -- good night all
why is antifart not a word ???
too tired tonight, need sleep, good night all, bb in the morning
good morning boppers... let the hugfest start, I am here :)
hah, Qs Quilled.
Kam, lovely pictures! Amazing landscapes... how privileged you must feel, living close to all that beauty.
hug, hug, hug, hug... enough dear one?
never. But it is a start :) *hugs rose* Hello my darling, how are you doing today?
ugh, shoulders are beyond painful... have taken endone. thom's place was a hit today. i made caesar salad with a twist. put avocado in with the cos, made my own caesar salad dressing. topped with shaved parmesan. toasted baguettes with grated parmesan. baked salmon fillets, anchovies, and king prawns.
omg that sound droolworthy good!
sorry to hear about your shoulders. Glad you took the endone, does it help enough to make things bearable? *healing vibes to your shoulders*
two of the attendees couldn't stop eating the salad and salmon. i must admit it was really yummy. and yes, finally feeling the benefits of the endone (taken over 4 hours ago)
how are you doing my dearest?
have the bowels settled?
Hi all! Yes, Sprite, it is pretty here. Always somewhere to explore.
*hugs Kam* Hello dear one! So nice of you to share. How are you and your beloved doing?
whoot !! {{kam}} my dear friend... hugs and kisses
yeah, bowels seem to have settled, rose. No accidents this night. Praise be.
We are doing quite well! Got lots of things done today even though it is soaking wet outdoors. I guess the rain keeps him inside and he gets bored, so he starts doing housework, lol!
Rose, your food sounds delish!
oh brilliant! Let's hope for many more soaking wet rainy days, and your beloved getting the boring chores done :D
thanx kam. i love presenting new/different foods to people.
ugh rose, I know that feeling, having to wait for hours on end before the painkillers finally make themselves known.
soul sistah... you are with me all the way, i know.
I'm looking forward to some yard work, myself! I still have flowers and herbs to plant. I had areas ready, but at the rate weeds grow when it rains for days, I'll probably have to start over.
absolutely. Holding your hand, hugging you and distracting you with silly banter.
most likely, Kam. Good thing though that the new growth isn't that deeply rooted yet, and the ground is still soft. Working with a hoe should do the trick.
lolll, kam. my gardener says i grow very good weeds.
roflol..... he'd say the same thing about my garden, I am afraid
nah. at least you have a functioning veg patch.
Sprite, sorry I took so long to send you pix of Pardee, but it is a pretty place. The road over the dam is the back way to the next town over where there is shopping.
Oh yeah, we have an acre full! Hubs mowed last week and it looks like it hasn't been mown in a month!
full of weeds, that is
Kam, no worries, I wasn't impatient. Whenever you have the time is the right time for me :) It is great to know a little bit of your home area.
it is time to start sowing the veg patches again, but the weather is not cooperating. Freezing temps... so no sowing yet!
I'm sure the geography is very different from your home area! We had a frost a couple of days ago - our "first planting day" is in early May. I usually start early, but this year is being weird.
totally different. Here, ground space is at a premium. Houses, towns, villages, everything is very close together. Houses and gardens are small, compared to what you are used to. But we have lovely landscapes and interesting architecture too, as Rose can confirm.
I'm finished with tonight's puzzle, so I'm going to get ready for bed. Have fun, and I'll chat with you ladies soon :) <3
sleep well, Kam. Lovely to have 'seen' you :D
sweet dreams kam. xoxox
I lived in Southern California most of my life, so I'm just spoiled with all of the beauty of living in the foothills here! I love it. Thanks for the wonderful wishes, sending the same for you
Liz, if you are reading along with us: the bread adventure is going really well! I found another way of kneading which seems to work better for me and the temps/humidity here. And another bread mold for in the oven, which works wonders in creating a lovely crust. Now, every bread I make is perfect!
wasn't it wonderful news from worzel last flip? i am so pleased.
indeed. Wish them all the happiness we found in our marriages.
*smile* love the way you think... ditto
:)
it is so easy to think what we have is normal. But as soon as you look around and hear people about their marriages, you start to realise how incredibly blessed we are.
Sprite has been loafing around it sounds like
leaven it to ruru to make a pun on it :) Hiya ru, good to see you. How have you been?
{{ruru}} hugs dear man
Crusty as usual
yum... i love crusty
but only on the outside... inside you just melt on the tongue!
roflol... are you offering sprite ??
rose! LOLOL
She is trying to butter me up
if rose helps, we can sandwich you
ooh yeah. do you want the top or the bottom sprite?
Oh god
if we are stacking, I want up top. But side by side might be nicer on us all...
nope... ruru.... just sprite and me... lie back and think of england.
I think that was an 'oh god' of pure delight
oh... is that why his eyes rolled to the back of his head?
yes, my dear, no worries. We are in the process of winning the gr5 count competition
lolll... as we should...
*smug* uh-hnh, as usual
c'mon ruru. do we qualify ??
It has been a while since I have been groaning
oh dear... ROFLOLLL
poor ru :(
*makes a mental note. must send ruru a box of gr6*
er7: a plural's plural. How strange can language go :D
*sending ru a box of happiness* You deserve it, mate. The gr6 are in there as well, of course.
yes ikr !! but the plural became a singular of a list of mistakes.
exactly. People lost track of the fact it was already a plural, and so it developed to this. Funny.
fireflies. Wow, this grid flowed all the way for me.
WTG SPRITE !!!
even the biggies. Of course, they are real words today, which helps a lot!
ru, a big *hug* and a tonne of happiness.
rose, my dearest friend, a big *hug* for the both of you, and one extra for you alone. I hope you can sleep tonight. Take an extra endone before bed, ya hear? Luvsya.
sprite, i hope you have a gr5 day. relax, and think of wonderful things. xoxox
will do! Cooking curry and folding laundry, is all I have planned. Easy does it.
and I will think of you and Don :D
Good mornng
naos
sorry, l'll be quiet
Good morning, ruby.
Hello zzoozz. lt's still to cold, but at least the sun is shining and the windstorms starting at Sunset are less intense
Just finished my first run through and have 51 words left to find. But only one 8 so far.

Now the As are a different kettle fish. I need lots of those.
Kettle of fish*
I have 13 of the first A and only 12 of the second A.
I have been trying so many combos of the against word but only have two of those.
l only have 114 words, so far, and looked for the "f Wind" too
plus two for old furniture or curios.
That is still good going, Ruby!
*Peeks in* Is it safe? No gross stories of gastric distress?
my hands are freezing, even with a fire, 3 sweaters, multiple blankets & shawls
l think spring has skipped the Haute Savoie!
Hello, Molly.
I think you need a hot water bottle, Ruby!
Oh wait, l'll try to dredge one up, just for Molly
Did you see the two of them making suggestive remarks to ruru? More tasteless sh**!!
Their joking about threesomes wasn't funnyh, just embarrassing and the grotesque images they conjured up were awful.
Somebody, besides nasty me, needs to explain to them AGAIN to keep their intimate, suggestive & gross conversations out of the chog.
We all havee our problems, physical and other, but they go too far!
This is one of the few internet discussion forums that is not monitored for content. So sometimes, people think anything goes.

good morning everyone
hi
hi cyber
phantom tarragon
I just ordered tarragon... gonna make some asparagus soup
It's 3.23pm here - but our clocks change on Sunday
Thanks for the reminder matty
I keep fresh herbs around here all the time
I grew stuff at my house in dallas, but have no yard here so....
but yes, I ALWAYS have mint, cilantro, and chives on hand, then basil in the summer - I go threw loads
i just bought five fruit trees for the side yard
nice!
I'm excited
herb garden, fruit trees... instant bartender ; )
bingo
what are they - I assume lemon and lime +?
better you than me ru -- lovely to have, but a pain to look after
what kind did you get?
one cara cara orange, santa rosa plum, peach, apricot, and meyer lemon. i probably will get a small lime tree for a pot
citrus trees here aren't a lot of work, cyber - even here in the city you will see them looking neglected on some lot, but full of fruit right now
well, the plum and peach could be work
everyone has citrus trees here
I would have lime, lemon and orange for sure
i'll give you peaches and plums for your pies kj
mmm - love meyer lemons -- make a great tarte au citron
Pete's house (before he moved in here) had a lemon tree and he would just grab lemons and bring them up when ripe... all shapes sizes and sometimes ugly, but nothing beats fresh
citrus trees don't have any pests?
we had two giant meyer lemon trees at our old house
agree - cyber! I make meyer lemon bars when in season... that floral citrus flavor is wonderful
not really here nan.. mostly just frost problems
driving through a neighborhood in redwood city about a month ago, the yards were just full of trees and fruit. It seemed people were just letting them fall and doing nothing with them. It was very hard not to stop and steal ; )
I love having all the fresh fruit and fortuneately there are orchards all around us. We also have had fruit trees and grapes in our yard, the down side being they have to be pruned every year and sprayed for borers and coddling moth on a regular basis.
ah
that is how my aunt's trees were in MD - she had apple, plum, and peach. They seemed like more work
Love the Bay Area. We used to go to the Monterray Market in Berkeley. Best produce ever
we do have really good produce
i seem to be missing a tr7 anyone have that one?
my B-I-L just gave us a bunch of yellow foot and black foot mushrooms they foraged - too many to use themselves, as well as a gallon size bag of dried morels they dried. They forage up in the sierra foothills... crazy the way stuff grows here
never mind.. i found it
just started ru
i love morels
oh would love the recipe for lemon bars, kje -- we do get the meyer lemons in season - assuming they will not be part of the trade war and still be affordable!
i thought of that word but couldn't see how it could connect
that bag of morels alone is a couple hundred dollars worth of mushrooms. He won't disclose his location... these foragers - so paranoid
here is the recipe link, cyber https://www.cooksillustrated.com/recip\nes/10616-best-lemon-bars?incode=MCSCD0\n0L0&ref=new_search_experience_1
i used to get lots of dried morels from my friends in Idaho
or 7/36, pls
plural of the syrup Or 7
syrup, don't understand ru
thanks kje -- the link has expired so went to the website and came up with 2 recipes -- "the best lemon bars" and "the lemoniest lemon bars" -- which did you use?
to make orange colas
never mind -- I see it is one of those sites where you have to be a member to get recipes
here it is... someone copied to another site
http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/su\nsans-perfect-lemon-bars-84183
http://www.crumblycookie.net/2011/05/1\n6/lemon-bar-comparison/
lol kje beat me to it.
fine cooking mag has a lot of lemon bar recipes too- some members only, some not
ru, don't understand, sorry
thanks kje -- will try it as soon as I see the lemons in the market
hope you enjoy them, cyber
or7/36 is a spice, pl for the 8
off to look at wolvie's site now -- ty
ty momo I was about to clue i
it
yw
My hubby and I were supposedly going to buy fruit trees but we have yet to do so
momo, don't understand
bicho you mean the or7?
yes
i have 2 or 7/36- one is the syrup, one a common herb
think of the pacific northwest states" Washington and Or****, except change the last vowel, and add a vowel
I don't know the syrup?
i don't have the syrup then
me either
bichon which one?
the syrup is like or plus gr 5- less the r. that makes or 6 then plural for 7
finally, but I don't understand thaat a syrup.
When we first planted the garden, we put in apple, 2 different plums, quince, pear, hazelnut, cherry, raspberries , pear, currants (red and black) and blackberries
survivors: hazelnut, plums, apple, all the berries and quince
or 6- or plus g plus what we do with food- e*t. then plural
the cherry has beautiful flowers & awful cherries
bichon, use the gr 5/14 ending in t take out the r of that word and put or in front of it
got it, thx
speaking of e*ting, i am off to make then have lunch lol
cherry blossoms are gorgeous... I love when the wind blows them off and they look like snow
the sanguine peach as tiny, the third year it produced about 100npeaches andp^romptly died
Oh to be in DC
Also a small fig which produces twice a year or not at all and needs cutting back from time to time
bichon I so agree with you
<-- first garden & l knew nothing
now I'm hungry -- time to have breakfast :-)
ruby my husband and I do not have "green thumbs"
I was a city girl when we movved to CTin '72. Since then I've been way into gardening
When designing the garden, l chose flowers to fitt my limited palette, without regard to suitability so about half of them disappeared
Boredom probably bichon and maybe you haven't seen that much land in one area?lol
I do not have enough sun in my yard for a garden. Makes me sad. I like to play in the dirt.
l'm to weak to do any work, but the plants that are left, plus replacements, are very pretty
well that's good ruby
bzz we have too much sun
l was very ambitious in the beginning; this city girl learned how to make jam & jellies
Me too, and canned them too
my mom used to do some canning
and when ythere are figs, the housekeeper's son climbsthe Inside of the fig, like a little monkey, to pick them for me
I have found a volunteer opportunity at a Micro Market Farm School. Large community garden that needs lots of work.
One year l made enough currant Jelly to give itt away to friends
bzz I have heard and seen those on news programs I think they are awesome!
ruby that is so awesome!
l also had a potager and still plant tomatoes, but now l plant them in pots on the deck
The garden helpsme get through thr winter
I don't do much lately, but I am always inspired each spring
so you were keeping your friends au currant ruby?
what is a potager? nothing wrong with eating real food ruby . my parents had a garden when I was growing up I loved it! corn,tomatoes, green beans etc
you beetcha!
slorry, potqyager = vegetable garden, but l can't do the work any more
In our previous house I grew corn. planted pumpkins with it to keep the racoons out
No insecticides because of the dogs, so insects get their fair share, too
bichon I wish my husband would plant some things but no go . we had talked about planting brocciflour ( I know spelled it wrong) lol
why is that bich.. what do pumpkins have to do with raccoons?
pumpkins has outgrowth [like little soft spines]. Racoons don't like them
ruby do you have stray cats too?
My sisteer haas aprobleemwith raccoons; they stand on her deck and Watch her through the glass & know how to open garbage cans.
Therre is one small cat (l've never seen it, just its paw prints) who comes onto the deck
We don't hae garbage cans any more. They are bins and can't be opened by a racoon
ruby out our previous home we had a bird that kept flying into our sliding glass door. we think the owner of the home before us was feeding it
but l think the dogs probably scarethemoff
bichon do you have the bins for garbage and recycling?
probably ruby
yes. No one has cans any more
That haappens here or if Something is open, they fly into the house
bichon I love it don't you?:)
Hawks swoop down and try to pick little birds off the feeder
ruby yikes
We don't leave doors or windows because of moquitos
my husband never opens the doors or the windows
one missed and wound up in my living room and l haad to rescueher; she was beautiful
wow ruby
the morning quail parade is going by - the herd going through the flower garden and the guards pacing the top of the wall behind it
We have screens and we are fresh air fiends
cyber now that's entertainment!
So far, no mosquitoes here. Also no screens. Nan, that must be wonderful to Watch!
l've never seen a live quail, just see themin the butcher shop or on menus
l imagine, as it gets warmer, there'll start to be mosquitoes, but there's a bat cave on the cliff above the house so that should take care of it
these are california quail -- not sure they would be good for eating, although at our previous house they were feeding on newly sprouted beans, much to my chagrin
bats are dying off here due to a virus
l'll look up the quail. How big are they?
<-- loves bats; they visit occasionally, too
imagine a fat pigeon and you've got it!
My husband used to hide
There is a fancy pigeon with a red "necklace" (pigeon ramier) who bathes in the fishpond
