hear hear, metal! Also the chopping bit needs to be lots faster
3:58 am
metaleather

I agree Ornith... it's never as easy for me as it is for Emeril or Rachel or Mario
3:59 am
Ornith

well, part of it is having really sharp knives. makes all the difference in the world.
3:59 am
Ornith

but I think they teach them how to do it at cooking school... when I try to mince stuff it goes all over the plce

how are there that many words that start with w+consonant!?
4:01 am
Haz1558

Use the sometimes vowel.
4:01 am
metaleather

it's the con. that is "sometimes a vowel"
4:01 am
Ornith

oh, I figured that, but even so.
4:01 am

It is a little mind boggling isn't it Ornith

4:12 am

4:16 am
Ornith

easier than it looks, but that's not saying much
4:17 am
Haz1558

Hello Pappou - it's not too bad, more normal words than you might expect combined with a few head-scratch-worthy ones.
4:18 am
PappouTed

I can see that right away with the ac4

4:23 am
JFB

Not a bad grid - with a combination of some obvious ones, monkeying, guessing and a lot of help from the chat log I'm down to 12 to get.
4:23 am
FranMag

it probably has something to do with the du5/16, same root i'm thinking
4:24 am
Haz1558

The du5/16 is quite noble in its association.
4:24 am
Andree

good evening eveyone, such a small grid after the last few
4:24 am

Think swash-bucling films Ragalla - rhymes with a word for dogs
4:26 am
Haz1558

Ragalla - it's an old fashioned exclamation. If it started with h, it would relate to dogs, if it started with s it would relate to noise

2:49 pm
evanonut

2:49 pm
Ankhorite

Biltong, you may have the same problem as MVA. You have UK in your country -- so I thought it would appear automagically. When you look at "My Account" did you click "show profile" ? Also, if you do check it, and click "update profile", then refresh when you come back here, see if that makes a difference.
2:50 pm
MVA

haz, i haven't updated
