5:42 am

Eva

5:43 am

metaleather

Rock (he was already 12 years used to the name when we adopted him so we didn't change it)

5:43 am

Wolvie

either works. ;-)

5:44 am

thx enemy, angb and eva finally greyed out a's

5:45 am

Bloodaxe

wow...did anyone here Stephen Hawkings recomendation that we leave the planet or die?

5:45 am

metaleather

..... not sure. he seems very fierce, but is strictly an indoor cat so I don't know his romantic attractions

5:45 am

sprite

nope, blood

5:46 am

Wolvie

no blood - where did you see that?

5:46 am

Andree

I don't think Rock hudson did either metal

5:47 am

Bloodaxe

he claims that the chances of nuclear destruction are increasing and if we inhabit other planets the human race has a greater chance of survival.

5:47 am

metaleather

in that case, he may very well be Rock Hudsonish after all. Providing of course that Rock was declawed and neutered

5:47 am

Bloodaxe

i'm listening to yesterday's BBC podcast right now.

5:48 am

EnemyisME

Oh, the evidence indicates Rock knew his gender preference quite well, if it matters

5:48 am

Wolvie

oh. I believe that's probably true - unfortunately

5:48 am

Wolvie

ah - I will have to look for that - thanks. Love Hawking

5:48 am

sprite

He is right, as usual. Wouldn't do those other planets any good though, seeing how destructive mankind is

5:48 am

metaleather

true Enemy, but I don't know the cat's so I can't truly judge if his name is representative of that...

5:48 am

metaleather

I tend to think it's because he's so solid and stubborn

5:49 am

metaleather

not that that's a Hudsonesque quality per se, but more of a geological rock quality

5:49 am

metaleather

very good point sprite

5:49 am

Off to bed leaving 38 to find. Love those plurals - nite all

7:28 am

Uneaixoise

Inge, love lookin' at your cute babies!

7:28 am

7:28 am

Inge2

tx, Une. miss your beagle!

7:28 am

metaleather

I've always felt that sometimes you need what you want more than you need what you need... and by extension you sometimes need to do what you want to do more than you need to do what you need to do

7:28 am

Uneaixoise

or you revise them with NEW post-its (not that I would ever do that . . . heh heh heh)

7:28 am

Aloyisius

Wolvie

I like that type of thinking, metal

Aloy, check out the recipe at the site for all the details. but it's a great soup - the last time tI made it, I had some one actually lick the pot....

hey charm, if you like lentil soup, try this one sometime:(this will be a big post):Moroccan Lentil Soup - by Annie Somerville

Ingredients:

1 cup lentils (about 6 oz)
6 cups cold water
1 tbsp EVO
2 cups yellow onion, diced
Salt
cayenne pepper
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced red or yellow pepper
1 tsp cumin seed, toasted then ground
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp turmeric
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced or grated
1/2 pound fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped - about 1 cup, or 1
8 oz can of tomatoes with their juice, chopped
2 tbsps chopped cilantro

Sort and rinse the lentils and place them in a soup pot with the cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 20 minutes.

While the lentils are cooking, heat the olive oil in a medium sized saute pan and add the onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few pinches of cayenne. Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft, 7 - 8 minutes, then add the diced vegetables, another 1/2 tsp of salt, and the spices. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.

Add the vegetables and the tomatoes to the lentils and their broth. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and deepen. Season to taste with salt and cayenne. Garnish with the cilantro.

Wolvie notes: this soup is fine without the cayenne for those who don't like heat. Sub some aleppo or other, milder chile. I add black pepper, and I use a bit more veggie and some of the spices than are called for - I usually do in all soups. I also find this soup to be fantastic if you let it sit overnite before you eat it. Very good that day - much better the next. As with a lot of things. :-)

Oh look, my vacuum cleaner has stopped right beside the computer....

9:40 am

metaleather

what a fortuitous halt Haz

9:40 am

Haz1558

It's been very fortunate, I've found some words while it gathers strength again.

9:41 am

metaleather

it's good you're allowing it to rest and recuperate. you don't want to strain your vacuum. it might never recover.

9:42 am

Haz1558

That's the strategy I've always used and it has served me well.

9:42 am

metaleather

good system.

9:42 am

smooth_pappa

she's right HAZ... you probably want to hunt a few more words... for the sake of your vaccuum

9:42 am

metaleather

I'm down to my final 14, what about you Haz?

9:42 am

Haz1558

I have a houseproud friend who went through 9 vacuums in 12 years. She could have ended up in jail for that.

9:43 am

metaleather

she should have ended up in an asylum for that

9:43 am

Haz1558

I've got 20 left, but haven't resorted to the list yet. That may come later.

9:43 am

Haz1558

Her husband was the one who needed the asylum!

9:43 am

metaleather

him too

9:47 am

Haz1558

Off I go again - seeing nothing new and haven't time to do more just now. The vacuum had better brace itself.

9:48 am

Haz1558

It's a Dyson, so it's really me who needs to brace herself. The NOISE!

9:48 am

Take a hot shower or breathe in cold air, Stid.

10:45 am

stidmama

Cold air, we have! The house gets to 15 at night. Shower sounds nice, will do when I am done w/ my tea/

10:45 am

Flu shots only helps for 3 Flu strains, not the other hundreds of respiratory viruses

10:46 am

magzel

10:46 am

Scrabbler

I am sipping "Tension Tamer" tea. ***tension is fading away rapidly*** LOL

*impatiently waiting for feather to get Daniel to napping so we can race*

10:49 am

magzel

the sugar but i can't find it from that clue

10:50 am

stidmama

the chemical is methyl salicilate, the "active ingredient" in spearmint (and Doan's pills)...

10:50 am

Scrabbler

se + cross + gluc***, dextr***

10:50 am

stidmama

it's also in some other mints (like chocolate mint) but I can still cope with spearmint.

10:50 am

Dorens

reading that too quickly, stid, and wondering *what pills did I give you?"

10:50 am

Scrabbler

So, are you allergic to aspirin too?

10:51 am

metaleather

it starts out like the saint

10:51 am

stidmama

10:51 am

magzel

10:51 am
