Named after Madame Re******
recliner :D
<- waves to fellow West Coast early riser
couldn't sleep.. thought I'd get bored and tired here and crawl back to bed
helloSherrell
Would you like some Xanax ru? You could reclineon your re8
HI Ruby
Still not seeing it - no help from Google
Woke up at 2:30 and can't get back to sleep
*starts coffee*
Got it - buttony with morewords!!
what is buttony?
people who OD on fasteners ruby
Crazy Morning! Nurse woke me and climbed into my bed to give me a blood test. Weird way towake upÃ
now that's bedside manner!
a nurse climbing into bed would scare the heck out of me
unless she was really cute and feisty
just sayin'
l'd like i t better if it was one of the dogs, but they never
Given up hope on sleep returning. Got coffee.
climb on furniture
sorry ori.. I'm in the same boat
my dog would cuddle with you on the bed ruby
me, too
My 3 cuddle every nite!
(about being up, awake and with coffee - not the cuddling part :)
I was just gonna ask welki
I am always covered with dogs and the cat at night.
My bed is big enough for several dogs and cats
I wish my kid's cat was like your dogs, Ruby. That thing climbs on everything, including the kitchen counter which grosses me out.
I tried googling that backless day bed - all I got were shopping results (i.e. people wanting to sell me the darned things - not the actual name for it)
it's worse when they sit down on the counter molly
Une - your recent transport is so cute.
My first chow, Rosie, used tosnatch foodoff the table if we werenb'tlooking
Matty, try putting "crossword" in front of your search
I'm coming back as a little beagle so une will adopt me
You will never have to wait to pee : D
That did it - thanks Molly!
That ER5 from the middle E is driving me bonkers as well...
I told you .. I've been drinking lots of water and practicing
No creature is more loved or well cared for than an animal of Une's.
I want to come back as one of Jacula's cats. We already have an arrangement in place.
Matty, girls name
Of course - thanks again Molly!
Off to the supermarket soon for last minute bits and pieces - that won't be a barrel of laughs
good luck, matty. I have to do the same when it opens.
I just came back from the grocery store. The only time I will go in there on Christmas Eve is before 7 AM. The rest of the day it is a mad house.
<---did his shopping yesterday.. all done
We have our bird (duck) and veg - it really is just last minute stuff...but somehow, a fair amount of it
Whatever I don't have now, I'm not getting. Except ice, at the 7-11 later tonight.
I just need cat food.
i forgot lemons
I managed to lay out 50 bucks on last minute stuff.
my roast cost me $180 bucks
We need parsley, prawns, puff pastry, dishwasher salt, pasta, milk, bread, eggs...and more. We thought it would be a small shop
standing rib roast?
We're just the two of us this Christmas, so a duck is ample
yep welki.. good guess
how big is it, ru?
Mine was 80 Ru, but it is a tenderloin on the smaller side.
Wow, ru! Expecting a big crowd?
enough for 8 people.. four ribs
I have a crowd ori.. pray for me
I had duck once. It was too greasy for my taste.
so i think that's like 7 or 8 pounds
it takes practice to cook duck
I love it. I will gently prick the skin, roast it directly on the top oven shelf with the potatoes and onions directly below to catch all that lovely dripping
yep.. I think it's 8 pounds
I like duck. You have to prepare it a certain way so it is not greasy.
When husband andl were just two, l'd make capon
i like duck - i make it with an orange/amaretto glaze
a capon is a transgender chicken
That sounds lovely! I'm using 5 spice powder with a halved clementine in the neck...and a cinnamon stick. Stock and potatoes at the bottom
After the surgery
The ghost of Ruby's Christmas capons past still haunt her yard : D
Do you know Corti Brothers Market, Ru?
yes
are you keeping the asian theme for the whole dinner, matty, or just for the duck?
I know Darryl well
l used to cook duck on a rack
That sounds good Matty. I would like to try duck that way.
the trick is starting it at high temps molly
You can get goose and pheasant there. I almost bought a goose this year, but not sure how to cook it.
Happy Christmas, everybo**;l think l'm going back to bed
I've never cooked a goose
bye ruby
...but i bet you've had yours cooked once or twice
I've taken a gander at it though ori
Merry Christmas Ruby
bye, ruby
bye, ruby
HA welki
Ru, high temperatures for what? Duck or beef tenderloin?
https://bbc.in/2EPjILZ - the recipe
Ha!
Goose is too greasy, even for me. Every timel've eaten it, itmademesick
duck ..for the duck
Maybe Ryan Gosling will help me out
ha
You would need to be cooking for a flock of people
Fortunately,my friends from Dublin bring most of the food (salmon,ham, etc) fromthere. l just bring the champagne
the real trouble molly is to get the people to migrate out of the kitchen :D
The gaggle tends to congregate there
that weird instrument the beach boys used is my phantom for today
(has a grid word in it, so don't want to post the name)
I'm going to try to go back to sleep.. thanks for the laughs
Sleep tight, ru
ditto
wish i could go back to sleep - never learned the art
Hoping I can get a nap in later.
i envy the folks who can go back to bed and/or nap
I very rarely get a chance to nap.
I am caffeinated now, so probably won't happen
Lucky you, Ruby!
Une - little Ellie is so cute
I agree! And she's now with her foster who's probably going to adopt! :-)
good morning all! there's only one more sleep 'til Christmas :-)

Hi all, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Saigon, Viet Nam
Wow, you are far from home
Having quite the time
I bet, my niece's half brother lives in Vietnam, he is from Scotland and is a teacher.
We are amazed at what a big deal Christmas is in a Buddist, socialist country
Hi Sukee, nice to see you around. Merry Christmas.
Just me and the cats here. Have been snacking all day. My computer died on Friday, ordered a new one on Saturday and it was delivered today :) Merry Christmas to me, even if I had to pay for it :)
I got a Chromebook. It is pretty good, a change from Windows but I like it so far.
hi bich, sounds wonderful.
i must go make the lasagne...or at least, the sauce. me and my big mouth, went from maybe to oh, good, you are brining lasagne
hi all
whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was a tough grid for me, my last word was re8!!!! have never seen it before - monkeyed all around until hubby and I finally found it
Had to interrupt the supper he was making to find it!! Bless his heart
re8/50 - wonder if I'll actually remember it for future reference!! not likely
Napoleon era salon in Paris was run by Mme Re8,50... wonder if it comes from that
yes, it's the type of couch she reclined upon :-)
FW! Happy babbling all and to all a good night!
Hard to believe. One can only take that sofa. Errr sofar
It depends how well you couch that phrase ruru
You aren’t futoning me on are you?
But if you go chaising rabbits...
SOrt of divan intervention
n1 ruru
Just allowing for a cushion
This is much too longue for me
Someone has to upholster the punning here
OK that's the straw that broke the camelback
But ottoman (she said with a thick southern accent)
You are barca-ing up the wrong tree!
Nope, I never engage in sectional innuendo
(that took me a while... running out of ideas)
(that took me a while... running out of ideas)
Lol
Totally OT... I've recently discovered my library offers free access to the film library on Kanopy. Amazing collection of films! I'm probably the last one to discover this but in case you missed it
Hmm
The entire Criterion collection, Fred Wiseman documentaries, foreign films, Great Courses... amazing.
kanopy.com and check to see if your library offers access. I'm using my son's college account so I have unlimited. My home library offers me 10 films a month access pass.
That sounds like a good deal
I'll probably drop Netflix!
I don’t do netflix
hello 67 to go
6 to go
done! See you tomorrow, Merry Christmas!
time for a quick babble before the flip! Good morning all.
and for those celebrating, a very merry Xmas
Morning Sprite - here we are again chasing our tails against the clock :) Happy Christmas to all
hiya ursh! Best wishes to you, and all things ni4!
found the shrub that always makes me think 'more daring in french', lol
merry christmas
to you too, TO
i can't find the first re, re8. does anyone have a clue? can hardly keep my eyes open.
it is an uncommon word. A word from Napoleon era France. It is a kind of couch named after a Mme Re8 who ran a Napoleon era salon.
not to pick a bone-apart.. that's an obscure word
sofa I can go with you. Hiya ru
I hope you're not futon me on sprite
well if you are couching it in that kind of terms...
we need a cushion for that margin of error though
pillow me to hand you one
wonders if TO got the re :);)
was thinking the same thing
or maybe she fell asleep at the computer :)
fireflies
any last minute help I might offer?
she might still be chaising that word
she has her fair chair of chances
130 for a Christmas Morning
