Hi MLFAN

8:11 am

is ro 7 a compound word?

8:12 am

It probably qualifies, although I don't think of it as one because of how it is pronounced

Never assume. It makes an ass out of u and me

8:15 am

10:20 am

yep that one

10:22 am

do you happen to know which T it is from?

10:22 am

corner t - it's a te7/28 between the prefix itself and the plural but can't monkey it

10:23 am

The *ost of food is going up for the end dan

10:35 am

de6/21 the last one?

10:35 am

last one i have is the sahara

10:37 am

stumped on that fa 6

10:38 am

i have an fa6 that means to hesitate or perhaps stumble

10:38 am

ty hurshy

10:39 am

seven word series - how often do we get that?

10:40 am

you mean the i words, or...?

10:40 am

i only have 4 of them

10:40 am

the N kinda has a seven word series too

10:41 am

the sahara was it! ty hurshy

10:41 am

yw :)

10:42 am

yes - the i words

10:42 am

OHO i got a D

10:42 am

so now i do have STRAFED left to go

10:45 am

wonder how fishy they are

10:47 am

well Bea said the re words were ordinary words....or something to that effect....

10:47 am

yeah... that doesn't totally help one isolate which one is missing tho lol

10:47 am

well the ro words are ordinary too.....i know that because I have all the Rs from the top left....

10:48 am

Are you missing an R?

10:48 am

i have all those as well

10:48 am

yes i am missing an RE

10:48 am

I missed the first re 7/28 -- kind of twisty

10:48 am

most non-fictional? have that

10:49 am

and i've gone through looking for plurals and past tenses of what i have to see if i missed any and i don't think i have

10:49 am

and it's not release, relent, or redolent

10:49 am

You have the re8?

10:49 am

cut a board in half again?

10:50 am

yes and yes

10:51 am

the lasso?

10:51 am

and one cannot apparently relead or relose

10:51 am

have the lasso

10:52 am

put clothing on again

10:52 am

clothing as in gay apparel? yeah have that

10:53 am

What about authentic plural

10:53 am

have that too

10:53 am

see, it really must be fishy

10:53 am

or the re 4 plural

10:53 am

Do you have both of them?

10:53 am

i am done with 4s so it's not a 4

10:53 am

both of what?

10:54 am

all the re's are common words -- there are so many of them, you may just have to list to find it

10:54 am

The plural for authentic

10:54 am

oHO, thanks bea

10:54 am

=)

10:54 am

cnan, i beg to differ, that first re6 that bea just helped me get is not common

10:54 am

that leaeves FASTED

10:56 am

Which T?

10:56 am

middle

10:56 am

guess I have spent too much time in southern cal. - it came to mind right away for me

10:58 am

and i guess my 4 years in CA were insufficient, lol

10:58 am

I have 8 more Ts left from the middle...I need a break...

11:01 am

now here's a question that could help me... are there any A words longer than 5 letters?

11:02 am

yes

11:02 am

ok then i need that one, clue?

11:02 am

there is 1 6 letter AL word

11:04 am

stuck on the last al 5/10 ??

11:04 am

to change

11:04 am

to change something

11:04 am

hurshy, did you find that Al word?

11:05 am

no not yet

11:05 am

add the amt of a prescription that you take

11:05 am

ah, ty

11:05 am

done with 6s now

11:05 am

yw

11:07 am

thanks

11:14 am

*!*~*!* a nice friendly grid today

11:15 am

congrats Nan!!!

11:16 am

Congrats Nan!

11:23 am

am i seeing this right, 411?

11:23 am

only 399 to go

11:24 am

I finished the first tile, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

11:34 am

Hokie!!

11:34 am

dolly!

11:36 am

good to see you!

11:36 am

you too!

11:47 am

tada!!! ***

11:47 am

Oh! We're! All! So! Excited!

11:48 am

thank you!! so excited to see you too!

11:49 am

I am excited to have that many words done

11:49 am

I say that for my benefit, I know you don't like it Molly when people do that, but I get excited to finish a board this big

11:51 am

when I went thru chemo, it affected my memory, so for me to finish a grid this size is big for me...I play this to sharpen my mind

12:01 pm

seeing as how you crush it in the hard serpentine room, I'm not sure you have memory problems

12:07 pm

hokie carla - what is your name in serpentine?

12:07 pm

Say, I have a question for everyone who has been through chemo/radiation. In retrospect, would you make the same treatment decisions again? I've heard from so many whose quality of life really diminished because of the long term side effects.

12:08 pm

I am so bad at serpentine :D

12:08 pm

me too, ori. I think I'm lower rating that you by a lot.

12:09 pm

I wouldn't worry about how good or bad you are, I love the game to help with keeping my mind sharp

12:09 pm

and I can't help you with your question, ch1212, hopefully someone here can.

12:09 pm

vashongin, I am cjhokie there but usually play medium

12:10 pm

thanks, hokie. I've been through topical chemo but my side effects were temporary.

12:10 pm

That's why I play it, vash. I hover around 1000.

12:10 pm

ahhh...I play the hard board

12:10 pm

I only play the medium board.

12:11 pm

I've been playing hard a lot lately as a guest, so you wouldn't necessarily know it's me.

12:11 pm

I've never played that game, must be fun! see you there some day

12:11 pm

nice origami..I never truly care about my ranking, but the people are so nice

12:11 pm

just like here!

12:11 pm

Okay, thanks to this conversation I just googled Serpentine. If it's like boggle, I'm in!

12:11 pm

it is, ch212!

12:11 pm

but I usually play with distractions so I've been doing guest so as not to get slammed

12:12 pm

what is your name on there, vash?

12:12 pm

same as here, vashongin

12:12 pm

It is fun saanich. But maddening.

12:13 pm

Ru is very good at it.

12:13 pm

how's your arm Ori?

12:13 pm

yeah, ru is good but only plays med. dolly wins hard room a lot.

12:14 pm

Better, saanich! I will have restrictions for about 3 more months, but then it should be completely healed.

12:14 pm

ps - "only plays med" doesn't have anything to do with how good he is, I was just saying that for vash since she plays hard room

12:14 pm

I would call myself a medium player, I win a few times, but mostly get around 3rd place

12:15 pm

that's great, ori

12:15 pm

glad to hear that good news.

12:15 pm

"only plays med" will really get him going hokie!

12:16 pm

well, he told me that once 😜

12:16 pm

whatt I meant, it will get him to the hard room

12:17 pm

nah, I don't think so

12:17 pm

moo plays hard room there as julius fish. of course he is a red.

12:18 pm

Red is impressive.

12:18 pm

I just registered and will play a game. Looks addicting :)

12:18 pm

wow, I still need 20 S on the left. no idea what.

12:19 pm

yeah, it took me forever to get to pink or lilac or whatever, and I'm usually a game away from going back to gray.

12:21 pm

I came in second on that first round -- do you automatically advance from easy to medium at some point?

12:21 pm

you play so many games before they give you a rating.

12:22 pm

hi all...hope everyone is doing well today.

12:22 pm

I thought they started everyone at 1000 but I think that's not true, so do as well as you can before the rating so they start you higher. I think it's much harder to move up than to hover around your starting point.

12:22 pm

hi, joy!

12:23 pm

I've been busy at work and haven't finished the grid in days. Today's Saturday, but 411! Yikes

12:23 pm

okay, thanks.

12:24 pm

190 to go here 😂

12:24 pm

CARLA!

12:24 pm

odes

12:24 pm

bea!

12:24 pm

woops -- sorry.

12:25 pm

Is it my imagination or are there very few DR words?

12:25 pm

I have 8 T's from the lowest T.

12:25 pm

I only found 2 but still need 9 D's

12:25 pm

but it felt like there should be more

12:25 pm

Only 2 dr'

12:26 pm

drs

12:26 pm

thanks, I won't waste more time on them then

12:27 pm

I have 6 T's from there but haven't officially made it to that row yet, bea

12:28 pm

bbl -- I'm already hooked on Serpentine.

12:29 pm

haha, see you there sometime

12:29 pm

have fun!!

12:31 pm

Yea! I'm done. But that means I have to go back to work...ugh!

12:31 pm

Any clues or insights into the puzzle needed?

12:32 pm

oh, that was all you had left? was 8 T's? impressive work. just plugging along here.

12:32 pm

I might need an insight into the 3rd row E

12:32 pm

can only find 3 right now

12:33 pm

I'm about to plunge into the deep hole of the 55 S's. I hope I don't drown.

12:33 pm

Clue for se9?

12:34 pm

well, I basically did, joy. only found 35/55

12:35 pm

se9 is a compound word. A bird would be a SE9.

12:36 pm

thx bea

12:36 pm

Carla, I think those E's ar en's or a few el's

12:37 pm

oh, some EN babblets

12:37 pm

Another clue please?.....

12:37 pm

se4 and ea5

12:37 pm

a consumer of things that make plants grow

12:38 pm

Comes from the second column S, Une

12:39 pm

Thanks!!

12:39 pm

I'm off to do something...Can't decide what...

12:40 pm

Okay, that was fun. I have a rating now on serpentine. 1109. Not sure what that means yet, but the game is definitely addicting! Okay, now back to babble. lol!

12:40 pm

have fun!

12:40 pm

Have a nice day, Bea.

12:41 pm

well, it just depends on if the rating means anything or now to you

12:41 pm

good for you, ch212!

12:42 pm

but there is a formula it uses based on who's in the room and how you should perform against them. there is a blog post explaining it but it doesn't really make sense. feels like I'm getting robbed when I do well, etc.

12:43 pm

even the players with high ratings can win a round and lose rating points because they didn't score high as they should have.

12:43 pm

My plunge into the S pit resulted in 36. I need some food now. Be back later.

12:43 pm

Oh, I see. Thanks for explaining, hokie. So far I'm just having lots of fun playing. It's just like boggle, which I love!

12:43 pm

which room were you playing in?

12:44 pm

110 to go.....

12:44 pm

also, if you go into a room during a round already going, you will not lose or gain any points

12:44 pm

nice, une. 164 here

12:44 pm

I started out in the easy room. I've played 7 games so far. From what y'all said earlier, the game advances me automatically after a certain point? Is that right?

12:45 pm

well, if you already got a rating, that's what I was talking about

12:45 pm

I think mine is 1220ish and it won't let me play easy room

12:45 pm

but you play like 10 games unrated and then they give you one

12:46 pm

That makes sense. I'll keep playing and see what happens. I won most of the first 7, but like I said, those were on the easy level. I'm sure I'll get humbled very quickly on the higher levels! :)

12:47 pm

well, sometimes I can have an amazing round and then I'm still losing rating points. it's just very frustrating.

12:48 pm

huh. Thanks for warning me in advance. That's something that sounds very frustrating.

12:48 pm

I will link the formula explanation here, hold on...

12:50 pm

https://tinyurl.com/b9y7dzk7

12:50 pm

Thank you, hokie -- I'll take a look at that.

1:10 pm

can I get a hint for the e's in the 4 row?

i have all those!

may take a sec to sort them out

look at EQ for a few

1:11 pm

sorry 4th row, 3rd column

3 EQ and 1 ED

2nd 4th row E is EF and...

EI

1:12 pm

ty hokie - found that right away

yw

1:14 pm

Where would we be without Carla pointing the way?

ok, bottom 2 rows went better. only need 3 F and 3 D to finish them off.but 86 other words from the upper 3 rows. breaktime!

1:20 pm

my first pass through the board, with the help of the 2 e's from hokie, I have 61 left...just need 4 from the bottom d to finish that row off and one n to finish the left column

1:21 pm

How exciting! Now we know everyone's status!

1:21 pm

hi Molly :)

1:54 pm

Hey everyone...the 4th row, 1st column E...are all 4 words EQs?

1:56 pm

One is an ED joy.

1:57 pm

ty origami

1:57 pm

You're welcome.

1:58 pm

and fireworks...thanks again for the help!

1:58 pm

Congratulations, vash.

2:21 pm

Ea6/18 please?

2:21 pm

Congrats vash!

2:21 pm

I have one Une, that is the plural of something artists use.

2:22 pm

Tx!!

2:23 pm

You're welcome!

2:27 pm

hi everyone

2:28 pm

hi welki

2:28 pm

Hey welki!

2:29 pm

I have been playing Babble for 17 years!!

2:37 pm

i'm a 'newbie' with 12 years :)

2:40 pm

still have 115 left. may not finish

2:42 pm

Oh Peri, you always finish

2:43 pm

lol

2:44 pm

God, 14 years for me.

2:45 pm

Time has sure gone by quickly.

2:45 pm

and from where i sit, no one has aged one bit

2:47 pm

If only that was true, Welki. I mean mentally I am still childish haha! When I look in the mirror I see an old man staring back at me.

2:49 pm

to me, you'll always be that smart and funny guy from across the sea - no wrinkles, only laugh lines

2:50 pm

Zoom, stop looking in the damn mirror. It is not your friend. : D

2:50 pm

Aww that is the kindest thing anyone has said to me in years! Welki 💖😊

2:51 pm

You are right there, Molly haha!

2:54 pm

I've been here 14 years too.. and I've aged a lot :D

2:54 pm

I recently bought a 10x lighted make-up mirror in an effort to tame my Freida Kahlo unibrow. Big mistake! 65-year-olds shouldn't get that close a look at themselves.

2:58 pm

feels like fourteen years for this friggin chicken to cook too :D

2:58 pm

:D

2:59 pm

Wow how are you cooking it? under a candle light haha!

3:00 pm

Ru is an excellent cook.

3:00 pm

no.. in the oven.. I just want to get it delivered

3:01 pm

He's an excellent cook who prepares and brings food to injured friends. I am the chicken's recipient :D

3:01 pm

I know he is. He also has great knowledge of wines too!

3:01 pm

FWs

3:02 pm

Oh wow that is really kind of you, Ruru! Hurry up with the meal should not keep the lady waiting.

3:02 pm

Congrats, Dizgrannie!

3:02 pm

He knows my wine palate better than I do :D

3:03 pm

I've had more practice :D

3:04 pm

yeah.. I'm on a chicken run today.. for someone crabby :D

3:04 pm

Haha!

3:05 pm

:D Looking forward to the ravioli and crab as well.

3:05 pm

tonight she's having butternut squash ravioli and fresh Maine Crab with a tarragon beurre blanc with caramelized onions.

3:05 pm

You are a lucky lady, Origami!

3:06 pm

Wow, I wish I had people delivering that kind of food to me.

3:07 pm

Oh ouch I have just stubbed my toe, Ruru. I will be waiting for my meal with anticipation!

3:07 pm

Move out here and break your arm, Molly. You, too, could have some.

3:07 pm

When I'm injured it's soup and sandwiches.

3:08 pm

That is in no way saying your injuries are small by the way, Origami.

3:08 pm

Ru, zooz needs your help :D

3:08 pm

Ah! I just saw your comment. Sorry you have broken your arm, Origami.

3:09 pm

If I leave now I can be there by november

3:09 pm

What a fabbo dinner!!!

3:09 pm

Hahaha!

3:09 pm

I have had advanced carpal tunnel in my right hand for years. It's amazing how good you get with your left when you have to.

3:09 pm

stubbed zooz tootsies are no laughing matter :D

3:09 pm

Thanks, zooz. It's healing nicely.

3:09 pm

how's buddy doing, ru?

3:10 pm

he's doing great.. I wore him out in the pool yesterday fetching the ball

3:10 pm

he cuddled with me all night on the bed.. he's an awesome dog

3:10 pm

He is one lucky dog!

3:10 pm

That is so nice!

3:10 pm

i love (these kinds of) happy endings :D

3:11 pm

Aawwww what a precious boy!

3:11 pm

I'm excited about meeting him. Since my dogs have both passed, I am in dire need of a doggie fix.

3:12 pm

ru's bringing him? that's great!

3:12 pm

Yes!

3:25 pm

Sounds like a lovely evening

3:32 pm

hope you heal quickly. lucky you getting meals from ruru

3:32 pm

Thanks, peri.

3:37 pm

I'm stuck on the EL 6,7 combo

3:37 pm

Am I not seeing something obvious?

3:37 pm

Also, I'm assuming it's a combo.

3:37 pm

I said something re your arm on WWF but the messages get placed every which way and I do not think you saw what I said

3:38 pm

Ooooh....a biggun'!

3:38 pm

WWF messages go missing for me, peri. I'll take a look to see if I can find it.

3:40 pm

e + an amount of deposit found in a mine + vowel and plural

3:45 pm

hmmm. I'm stuck on "an amount of deposit found in a mine" that starts with L.

3:46 pm

just found it. Duh.

3:46 pm

thanks Molly

3:46 pm

e + claw

3:47 pm

that's the ET, shirlock

3:48 pm

oops, misread the ask

3:49 pm

Thanks for the misread, Shirl. I didn't have that one.

3:49 pm

is the 9 a plural of an 8?

3:50 pm

no

3:50 pm

It is not eieios.

3:50 pm

compound tho

3:50 pm

can i get a clue or stats?

3:50 pm

se9/60

3:50 pm

se 9/60

3:51 pm

3:51 pm

3:51 pm

falseify

3:51 pm

oops!

3:59 pm

not seeing the se9/60. can i have a clue? probably jst been staring at the grid too long....

4:01 pm

it's a compound word -- s4 + e5

4:03 pm

thx, shirlock

4:04 pm

stats for the 8's?

4:07 pm

We are having plain old chicken, potatoes and Brussels sprouts for dinner. Because I don't have gourmet chef delivery service. : D

4:14 pm

we are having nothing bc we had a big lunch and i am still full and do not feel like cooking. lol

4:18 pm

The traffic is so bad that I am now going to have to meet my personal gourmet chef half way.

4:23 pm

can you pack utensils and have a picnic somewhere?

4:33 pm

anyone have those stats or clues for the 8's?

4:34 pm

also, missing one q. have qu4, qu5 x 2 and qu6

4:35 pm

there are two QU4s

4:36 pm

thx

4:36 pm

DE8,50 and RE8,45

4:37 pm

are they plurals, joy?

4:37 pm

No

4:38 pm

time to monkey!

4:38 pm

let me know if you want more clues

4:39 pm

do they use other list words?

4:40 pm

RE8 is related to an RE6 and an RE7

4:43 pm

must not have those yet. only ones i have are the ones meaning to confer with

4:45 pm

same thing with the DEs. They're all common words

4:49 pm

i think i have been looking at the grid too long. i can't see any more words. aaarrrggghhh!

5:02 pm

God, I can't imagine traffic that bad. I'm really glad I don't live in an area like that.

5:09 pm

Origami, i have empathy for that errand. But living DCish, i know from horrific traffic.

5:36 pm

2nd st5/12 please

5:39 pm

Rhymes with the first one

5:39 pm

It's a homonym, I mean

5:39 pm

ah ty Gillie

6:04 pm

Oh DC, traffic here is nothing compared to traffic in California. I don't know how those people deal with it.

6:06 pm

Yeah, it is worse in SoCal for sure.

6:07 pm

Traffic in toronto is insane. Los Anglese seems less so to me. But then i don't live there and know that withing a month i'll be headed for the great white north again.

6:10 pm

It took Ruru over 2 hours to drive 45 miles today. Highway 80 in NorCal is insane.

6:11 pm

Daughter and grand kids live in LA so we used to go down 3-5 times per year. Bean almost two years since we saw the little monsters....

6:12 pm

I know this has been really hard on folks whose kids/grandkids are not local. Especially when you are in a different country.

6:13 pm

I worked in El Segundo (south LA) for three weeks. Daughter came down to hotel to stay with me. I drove her to work every morning, about 10 miles. 2 Hours. THe drive back to my workplace took 9 minutes......

6:14 pm

Wow.

6:15 pm

We saw the grandkids for their 4th and 6th birthdays. We'll see them again for their 6th and 8th birthdays. Viggo has gotten positively huge. He was 4 foot 2, now 5 foot......

well hello!

6:22 pm

There is no way I would ever put up with a 10 mile commute that takes 2 hours.

6:22 pm

hello, brandyjack!

6:24 pm

Life is too short for that. At my last job, it was taking me 1.5 hours to drive 18 miles. My more recent commute was 8 minutes (all surface roads for 3 miles).

6:33 pm

So many fortunate people get to work from home now. No commute. Must be nice. Plus all the things you can do (appliance deliveries, etc) without having to take leave.

my niece just learned she will be working at home permanently. she's waiting for a two bedroom apartment to open up in her building so she has a permanent offive

6:39 pm

It has been nice. Staff are returning to campus in August. Not me, though. I am fully retiring on 6/30. Yay!

congrats, ori.

6:40 pm

Thank you. I'll be 65 on that date and figure that I have paid my dues.

6:45 pm

have everything put away ori without any trouble?

6:46 pm

congrats on pending retirement!

6:46 pm

I had my neighbor put the chicken in the fridge for me :D Thanks so much, ru!

6:46 pm

Thanks, DC. I'm looking forward to it.

6:47 pm

I forgot it was so heavy.. but you'll get several meals out of it

6:47 pm

Yes, at least 4 :D

6:50 pm

this grid is awful

and disappearing words, as well

6:56 pm

I finally finished the D's. At this rate I'll be here for days.

i just started

probably a bad decision

ru, i went to buy wine today, and the store personnel recommended a french rose. i hope i like it.

7:13 pm

which one was it TO?

7:16 pm

damn it.. i've had to put fete in five times.. it keeps losing it

oh sorry, i wandered off. let me go check

chateau de fabregues costieres de nimes

7:18 pm

Sadly, this game is losing it

they turned their noses up at meiomi, but i bought one anyway

7:18 pm

solid wine.. very dry style. .it will be refreshing

hope there is a bit of residual there

7:19 pm

meomi will be much sweeter.. screw them if you like it it's fine

our locasl store recommended a french rose- cannot remember the name- and one around 10 to take to a party. i agree, i heard what you said about drinking what you like

7:20 pm

there might be a bit of RS in the rose

7:20 pm

Hey Ru. Lovely to hear about your new friend Buddy but I was sad to read about Dylan.

7:20 pm

Good morning all.

uh oh. did you lose your dog?

7:21 pm

thanks liz.. it was a tough time.. Buddy is really great though, I can't believe I have another dog

7:21 pm

Yeah TO.. i lost Dylan my Golden Ret

i am sorry.

7:22 pm

You're lucky to have found such a good one. I love labs - all of them. They're great dogs.

7:22 pm

Buddy is sweet and calm and beautiful!

7:22 pm

thank you the new dog is helping me adjust

7:22 pm

Hey Ori - How's your arm? Lucky you having a friend like Ru to bring you meals.

good.

7:23 pm

My arm is healing Liz. Ru is a great friend (and cook) :D

7:23 pm

:D i like bringing her food and wine.. it's better than cottage cheese

7:23 pm

:)

oh my, i am not up on the news. very busy and generally play and leave

7:23 pm

For sure!

7:24 pm

I'm doing that more these days. Chatting less.

7:24 pm

Much better!

7:24 pm

you're going to love the chicken .. it's got just a bit of heat Ori

i drove up to NNJ today, part of returning to pre lockdown days

7:25 pm

What spice did you use?

7:25 pm

Looking forward to it. I'm having the ravioli tonight.

ori, you broke your arm? yikes!

7:25 pm

chili and alepo peppers for the chicken a little spicy is nice in hot weather

what is the mildest chili?

7:26 pm

That sounds yummy. Spice is good in hot weather - think about countries like India and Thailand, where they use a lot of spice.

7:26 pm

Yes, TO, I brokein in 3 places, 2 months ago. Another 3 months of so and it should be fully healed.

7:27 pm

*broke it in

pmg must be awful

7:27 pm

I'm so happy I've been able to help you a bit ori

7:28 pm

You've helped a lot, ru! Now if I could only get you to clean my house :D

7:28 pm

dream on

7:28 pm

Drats!

i like spice but have a very low tolerance for heat. which is the mildest chili pepper?

spice seems to mean heat, whether or not that is an accurate use ot the word i do not know.

i mean, i do not like bland food either.

7:32 pm

Don't know if it's true, but I read that the smaller the chilli, the greater the heat.

7:32 pm

But if you remove the se4's and the pith, it removes a lot of the heat.

all peppers have heat, just a matter of degree. i just bought hungarian paprika and it is much different than the kind in the grovery.

7:33 pm

Mildest chilli is called Bullhorn - I just googled that

liz i cannot tolerate any kind of pepper[ black, white, cayennes,

7:34 pm

Pobalos are a pretty mild chili.

7:34 pm

OK - but I guess using cumin etc. is also using spice and without the heat.

7:35 pm

I like spice and some heat but don't like having my mouth blown out!

7:35 pm

I love cumin. I like a little heat, but I don't want it to mask the flavor of the food or make my mouth hurt.

7:35 pm

We use quite a bit of chilli in our cooking. We grow them and have loads from last year in our freezer.

7:37 pm

I agree, Ori. Taste is the important thing.

ru can you recommend a chardonnay that is not oaky?

7:40 pm

yes.. Enfield Citrine 2019 is lovely and not oaky and only $22

7:41 pm

Ru, do you know anything about Australian wines - reds in particular?

thank you. i wish i could remember what my brother selected... i think you need to know something he liked when selecting a new one for a gift.

he is the one with the BIL who is a wine snob.

7:42 pm

a fair amount liz why?

7:42 pm

Because I'm trying to find one I like! I like French reds but I find the Aussie ones very vinegary - too much tannin.

7:43 pm

even a wine snob (snot) would like the enfield TO.. it's beautiful

7:44 pm

Have you tried the Torbreck wines Liz.. they're reasonable and well done

7:44 pm

No, I don't remember seeing that name. I'll make a note and look out for that.

7:45 pm

I appreciate that you're not a wine snob, ru. Even if you tease me about my desert wine :D

7:45 pm

my favorite aussie red is from Killakanoon called the Oracle. (Syrah) it's fabulous and world class and about $40 -$45 here in the states must be cheaper there.

7:46 pm

what dessert wine ori? not ringing a bell

well, my brother would have to bring it to a family function. i never will again.

7:46 pm

I've just googled them. Shiraz - here, which i think is Syrah in the USA and UK. Sounds nice. Wow! $82.99 per bottle

7:46 pm

No, ru ... desert wine :D

7:47 pm

i hate it when people stick their noses up about wine.. so rude and unnecessary

7:47 pm

That's $62 US dollars

7:47 pm

Oh well jeezus ori.. it's not like I see you with a brown bag on 5th and market

7:47 pm

Wine is obviously more expensive here.

7:48 pm

well it's worth it liz.. it tastes like a $200 dollar bottle of wine

wow liz!

7:48 pm

Even Saanich teases me about it :D

7:48 pm

OK - it's our anniversary in August, so I'll look out for it.

7:49 pm

with good reason ori ;D

7:49 pm

it's incredible.. just find out what a great vintage is in Aussie land and buy that vintage of Killakanoon (who also makes much lower priced wines and they're awesome too

7:53 pm

and I like aussie wine liz.. there's a lot of great ones. I buy Noon, and Hill of Grace, and Killakanoon, and Torbreck (the Factor) and Penfolds all great stuff.

7:53 pm

Jasper HIll is also stupendous

7:54 pm

Jasper Hill tastes like French wine.. so classy

7:56 pm

Liz are you still here?

7:56 pm

Penfolds I know - I've written all the recommendations down. Thanks.

7:56 pm

Sorry - just had to hang the washing out!!!

7:58 pm

Penfolds is really solid.. their top wine is Grange Hermitage.. they also have really nice lesser wines for every day.

7:59 pm

I appreciate the recommendations. The Aussies I talk to seem to like the strong tannin much more than I do.

8:00 pm

My hubby in particular likes that flavour.

8:01 pm

the wines there can be more "Manly". for sure.. Try Noon Eclipse or Torbreck Juveniles or Oracle. I buy Oracle almost every year

8:02 pm

I really thought my tastes had changed and I'd gone off red wine until we did a river cruise in France in 2018. Then I remembered how much I liked red wine.

8:03 pm

I drink more white versus red.. but when i have a red it's a winner

8:04 pm

I like white too - tend to buy NZ whites. They are generally pretty good.

8:04 pm

i am so stuck and cannot find another word

8:04 pm

That's fireworks here. I used morewords for my last 10. Time to get on with our Sunday house clean. Thanks for all the wine help.

8:04 pm

I still have 110 left

8:05 pm

Can I clue any for you before I go?

8:05 pm

any time liz.. happy to help people here with wine stuff

8:06 pm

Thanks :)

8:06 pm

bring a spatula when you open a bottle of Oracle.. you'll have to peel your husband off the floor

8:08 pm

I just told him! He thinks it'd be good for our anniversary!

8:08 pm

Time to get to work. Have a good day / evening everyone.

8:09 pm

night liz

bye liz

looking for se9

8:10 pm

Have a good day Liz.

8:11 pm

when's din din ori? :D

got it

i need to go back and scan chat for clues. later

8:12 pm

About an hour, ru.

8:13 pm

:D (pins and needles) I'll send a gmail email to you

8:14 pm

I'm waiting for hunger to set in. Still full from my breakfast cottage cheese :D

do you like it or just eat it because it's easy?

8:15 pm

she only has one arm TO..

8:15 pm

she can't use her left arm

8:16 pm

I actually like it, if I can find the good small curd kind. Knudsen small curd used to be fantastic, but then the company sold and it's horrible now. And, it IS easy :D

i was wondering because i found a breakfast i like with it. superfoods. actually tastes good.

chopped apple, walnuts and cinnamon.

8:17 pm

It's great with fruit. I eat it with apples a lot. I'll try adding walnuts and cinnamon. Sounds yummy.

i was skeptical but i like it. when no aplles i cheat and use pineapple or a smidge of pineapple preserve.

when i eat cereal it's like eating nothing. hungry within an hour or two.

8:20 pm

Now you have me thinking. I might try it with some kumquat marmalade.

yes, but a little goes a long way, i found, with preserve. sweet breakfast makes me crave sweets all day.

which i do, anyway. put on 5 lbs over quarantine

8:22 pm

gotta go for a walk.. do not listen to wine snobs TO.. enjoy what you like, bring what you want to parties and screw them with their attitude

great advice, ty

time to get the list. i want to finish by 10 and read.

8:57 pm
