thanks, Scrabbler, but it'll have to wait for some spare moments tomorrow (not Easter here yet). I've got Italian Easter bread to finish still tonight before I get to bed, so this one will have to wait for any spare minutes I can spare tomorrow. Probably few to none, with 25 people to feed...

12:29 am

well that's not strictly true ... (I don't think)> Was reading about pagan holidays at Easter time, and there's not a brilliant match up

12:31 am

Atalante

but that was only as far as I could see yesterday, am very glad to be told otherwise!

12:32 am

herinfernallady

Opps that was meant to be the egg thing sorry, the pagan/ christan Eoster got mashed together to appease all the town folk long long ago

12:32 am

herinfernallady

I celebrate Eoster

12:33 am

Atalante

I celebrate chocolate eggs

12:33 am

12:34 am

No eggs here

12:34 am

Ornith

this is the first year we've got them

12:34 am

Atalante

mmmmmm gorgeousness

12:35 am

Ornith

oh, and I learned to make those fancy painted eggs last weekend, too - psyanky or however you spell it

12:36 am

katrynwise

Or - I had one last year... they are good.. but I think the best part is banging them on the counter

12:36 am

katrynwise

we made tie-dyed eggs with the kids earlier... that was a hoot

12:36 am

how about these eggs?

12:36 am

melonheadjujube

grey 8! oh, hi everybody.

12:36 am

Ornith

katryn, I thought that's the oranges that break into slices? these are cadbury creme eggs but the creme is orangey

12:36 am

Ornith

hi melon

12:36 am

Atalante

oh wow, they must be fun to make. don't you have to boil the eggs in vinegar or something first to strengthen the shells?

12:36 am

jillibus

hi melon

12:37 am

katrynwise

oops.. I was thinking of the slices.. havent had the creme ones...

12:37 am

hi melon

12:37 am

Hi Melon

12:37 am

Ornith

The friend who taught me didn't, but she did say you have to use farm eggs not supermarket ones - and the dyes have vinegar in them

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

hi jilli - it looks like december here - except last december didn't even look like this! blowing snow - baseball cancelled.

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

hi muse

12:37 am

you can't cook them, have to either use them whole and hope you never break one until they dry out, or poke holes and blow out the insides

my czech grandmother used to make pysanky (sp)colored eggs, along with some other great eastern european Easter treats. that tradition died with her, sadly.

12:39 am

ARB

crumby, too much food, but great, as usual. Naches from the grandkids, who need no prompoting to standup on their chairs and belt out the Four Questions.

12:39 am

they're not so hard as they look, actually

12:40 am

nan - that's all I have so far too... 18 7's

12:40 am

to dye eggs here we use the special greek food dye, its pretty cool both Othordox and Christan Easters have fallen on the same weekend

12:41 am

missing an se7

12:41 am

ARB

How was yours? Were you up to all the preparations?

12:41 am

Ornith

yeah, the supermarket dyes aren't the same as what you use for psyanky.

12:42 am

cybernan

ty mymuse

12:42 am

Ornith

if you've ever done batik, psyanky are done *exactly* the same way.

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

I did all right, ARB. I have a separate pesach cabinet which makes prep easier. I think of Pesach as transitioning from winter eating to summer eating, so the emphasis is on salads & fruit. Of course, the fact that we go elsewhere for both seders makes it easy, th i miss doing one at home. Still, the one i go to is at a best friends, we've done seders together for 28 years now, from back when we ere both single. The youngest kid at this one was 11, and our own kids are 15 and up.

Are there 2 an 4's from the top A?

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

ARB, if you Google "chocolate olive oil mousse" the NYT recipe will show up. it's some potchkeying, but worth it. i'm not a big fan of most passover desserts, but ths and meringues i like. to say nothing of just munching on bittersweet chocolate. we like "matza coffee breakfast", too. crumble matzah, pour coffee milk & sugar over - eat!

12:50 am

oh, ornith, i love matzah brie, i cook it in lots of butter, seasoned w/salt & pepper.

12:52 am

cybernan

aha -- got it -- top row grey

12:52 am

Ornith

(my family is ethnic Jewish, so we have all the recipes even if we don't have the religion!)

12:52 am

ARB

I make a lot of different Pessach cookies , with coconut, chocolate chips, sliced almond. Then I always have the problem of what to do with the yolks.

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

custard.

12:53 am

Atalante

I'm really sorry for being utterly ignorant, but what is so different about Passover meals? Is there something not allowed to be in them?

12:53 am

Shannon1

I didn't get it yet, though

12:54 am

Ornith

yeah, ata, no leavened bread (leavened = yeast)

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

yup, Atalante. On Pesach, you cannot use typical grain products - only matza & matzah meal.

12:54 am

Hugabugs

Is there only 1 kn?

12:54 am

Atalante

oh ok! thank you. of course, now I remember that ...

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

it is a matter of ingenuity to eat like this for a week.

12:54 am

cybernan

yes

12:54 am

Ornith

yup huga

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

17 7s so far - not sure what i am missing.

12:55 am

Ornith

mmmm... matzah balls.

12:55 am

Hugabugs

found my last k... now for 1 more 1

12:55 am

Hugabugs

1 more R that is

12:55 am

Atalante

I can imagine! why is matzah allowed? sorry for probably dumb question :P

12:55 am

cybernan

have 19 and don't know what I am missing

12:55 am

Atalante

(and what *is* it? never seen it here)

12:55 am

Ornith

ata, that's a long story. literally.

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

i made the matza balls with chicken fat this year - i think that qualifies as Jewish soul food! they wew insanely good if i do say so myself. . .

12:55 am

cybernan

how many re 7's do you have hugs?

12:55 am

herinfernallady

Can i ask what is how can i say this with out being rude but why do traditional Jewish People have Kosher meals and dont touch the serving plate with the spoon, can someone explain why

12:56 am

Ornith

it looks like big crackers ata

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

Atalante, the commandement is to eat unleavened bread.

12:56 am

Ornith

basically, when the Jews were fleeing Egypt, they didn't have time to let their bread rise

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

never heard of that infernallady

12:57 am

ARB

Atalante -- what is NOT eaten on Passover is leavened good -- in other words made with yeast. Matza is really a form of a quick baked dough of flour, water and salt.

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

there are other restrictions, no rice, corn products, beans.

12:57 am

Shannon1

Is it too early to ask for a clue for the an 6 I'm missing? I have the 2 plurals and 3 5's.

12:57 am

Hugabugs

Not in alpha order, but the 7's so far are: re7 x 4; ti7; te7 li7 x 3; in7 x 2; se7; cl7; si7 x 3; st7; sl7 x 2 and cy7

12:57 am

herinfernallady

I was watching this thing on tv and this lady said the food was kosher as long as the spoons didnt touch the plate, i was curious as to why

12:57 am

Atalante

I wish we'd learnt more about other religions' customs at school *sigh* and thank you for explaining now

12:57 am

Ornith

herin, that's totally screwy based on everything I know about keeping kosher

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

That lady was being omore holy than the pope and Ceasar's wife, to mix a few metaphors

12:58 am

I had only heard of the pork thing thats why i was like huh

12:58 am

cybernan

ooh -- don't have the cy

12:58 am

mymuseisme

nan are there more than 2 re6?

12:59 am

Ornith

yeah, the *big* kosher rules are no pork, no shellfish, no eating milk and meat together (meat doesn't include fish though)

12:59 am

Shannon1

I don't have the cy and 2 re's

12:59 am

DRBERNABO

fireworks

12:59 am

herinfernallady

I have this thing where you wouldnt serve a Jewish person pork or unkosher food if that was their thing so why serve a vegan/vegaterian meat products

12:59 am

herinfernallady

We have Kosher Vegimite

12:59 am

herinfernallady

Yah DR

12:59 am

1:00 am

Kosher Vegimite? that's just scary!

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

4 re7S? how? or will i take a fish to the head?

1:00 am

ARB

For one week, Atalante

1:00 am

Ornith

Ata, only if you make lasagne with meat (aside from Passover)

1:00 am

cybernan

4 re 7's, 2 6's, 3 5's and the rest are 4's

1:00 am

DRBERNABO

one re7 ends differently from the other 3

1:00 am

ARB

I can't find the fourth either, Melon

1:00 am

Atalante

thank goodness for fish lasagne

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

well, there is a lasagn recipe that uses matzaha soaked in water. of course it is vegetarian, since we don't mix meat & dairy, and what's lasagna without cheese?

1:01 am

Shannon1

I'm missing one of the 3

1:01 am

Ornith

melon, 2 have to do with someone sitting in place of a king, one is taking a nap, one is soaking flax

1:01 am

melonheadjujube

oh, I have that unlike re7 - and 2 of the "like" ones - have to find that 3rd.

1:01 am

herinfernallady

Not really, its the same as normally, the Jewish Comunity got upity for Vegimite being producted on a machine that had non kasher products produced on it so the manifactures changed it

1:01 am

Ornith

I don't have three like ones....

1:02 am

Ornith

all vegimite is scary! :P

1:02 am

herinfernallady

opps Kosher sorry

1:02 am

melonheadjujube

oooooh. . .tx ornith!

1:02 am

cybernan

is the cy 7 related to the cy 5?

1:02 am

Atalante

I had no idea about the not mixing meat and dairy. The more I think about it, the more it "restricting" I can see it. Idont mean restricting in the real sense though, just so much of what I eat would be banned under that

1:02 am

DRBERNABO

no the cy 6

1:02 am

Ornith

DRB, we've only listed 20 of the 7s, can you list what 7's there are?

1:03 am

mymuseisme

related to cy6, sounds like that famous chapel

1:03 am

DRBERNABO

anyhow I think so

1:03 am

Ornith

Yeah, no cheeseburgers or meat pizzas

1:03 am

cybernan

only cy 6 I have is the plural 5

1:03 am

cybernan

have you finished DRB?

1:04 am

Atalante

is it just cows milk? or any milk?

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

only 2 7s to go, then i can have sweet mediocre dreams!

1:04 am

Ornith

I've only got cy4/7, the pl 5/16, and the 7/40 which seems related to me...

1:04 am

chic

cy 7 sounds like famous chapel in Rome...

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

goat milk is kosher :)

1:04 am

Shannon1

I'm missing the king one that ends like the other 2

1:04 am

Ornith

ata, all milk, though soy "milk" is ok AFAIK

1:04 am

DRBERNABO

cl, cy, en, in, in, li, li, li, oo, re, re, re, re, se, si, si, si, sl, sl, st, te, ti

ta, nan..

1:05 am

melonheadjujube

ty DRB, i have pasted this onto a "stickie"

1:06 am

cybernan

oo!!!!!

1:06 am

Ornith

yeah but melon, it's still milk for separating meat and milk, right?

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

oh, yes.

1:06 am

Atalante

not so woot for goats. woot for soy!

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

as in "no stew the kid in its mother's milk"

1:06 am

Ornith

shannon, neither king one ends like the other two. there's a plural and one that's the period Jane Eyre is in (I think....)

1:07 am

Ornith

what I never got is how "chicken + eggs" is kosher but "chicken + milk" isn't.

1:07 am

ARB

ty Ornith for the 4th re 7

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

I make a vegetarian chili with a veg ground beef product, so i can add cheese & sour cream to it.

1:07 am

ARB

eggs are neither meat nor milk,

1:08 am

cybernan

don't think I'll waste a lot of time on that 00 7!

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

eggs daren't milk. they're in the dairy case, but that's just a grocery thing.

1:08 am

Ornith

I know that ARB, but since the meat/milk restriction is from the commandment "thou shalt not cook a calf in its mother's milk", the logic is weird

1:08 am

Shannon1

my husband got it for me. TY

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

oo 7, nan? hehe

1:08 am

cybernan

wonder if it is Bondian?

1:09 am

melonheadjujube

i am so happy for microbial rennet, now there are gourmet kisher cheeses! cheese made with animal rennet is not kosher, according to most

1:09 am

I don't know all the fine points of kosher law, myself, my family doesn't keep kosher at all. but the "pareve" (not meat or milk) marking is really useful for lactose intolerants

3:14 am

Haz1558

AND this grid looks friendly.

3:15 am

ARB

It is very friendly, Haz.

3:15 am

Kazzer99

i think it might be as wolf in sheeps clothing

3:15 am

sherb

not too bad so far...

3:15 am

herinfernallady

kazz i have a crater and yes he is irritating, its like trying not to annoy dad when you know that he has to give you pocket money

3:15 am

Haz1558

I'm doing my instantfame impression at the minute, but I'll soon slow down, heh.

3:24 am

herinfernallady

we have no food in the house we dont even have jam for pancakes

3:25 am

Haz1558

Detoxing?

3:25 am

herinfernallady

nope shops arent open and the gaping maw has eaten ever thing

3:27 am

Haz1558

Is the gaping maw an australian breed of animal?

3:27 am

sherb

lol!

3:27 am

Haz1558

I've not heard of any over here.

3:27 am

herinfernallady

no its a house mate

3:28 am

Haz1558

So, is the housemate the one who is detoxing, or you?

3:28 am

herinfernallady

it eats twice what we do yet puts half of what we do in the food tin

3:29 am

herinfernallady

we are not detoxing at all we jsut dont have food here as the shops are a 2 min walk away when they are open.

3:29 am

Haz1558

You food gets delivered to a food tin? That's a new concept, we have to go to the shops.

3:29 am

sherb

oh the joys of housesharing... how I miss them... not...

3:30 am

herinfernallady

put money in food tin then we buy food, no money in tin means no food in house

3:30 am

herinfernallady

I am broke as i had to buy food for my house too, I live on my own but my partner shares, getting to the point were i wont come to his house till his house mate contributes

3:31 am

sherb

you could try cutting out the tin part... take moeny to shops, but food, eat food... leave housemate to own devices...

3:31 am

Kazzer99

that reminds me of a time when i was housesharing - it was supposed to be with 4 other girls but at the weekends about 50 peopels stayed in the flat and they used to eat all my food and at one point they stole all my money as well

3:32 am

Haz1558

It would be good to detox, though, because then you wouldn't need money in the tin.

3:32 am

herinfernallady

id like to but my other half isnt that mean plus it doesnt stop him, if its there it gets eaten, like a 500gr of margarin contain that he used in a week

3:32 am

herinfernallady

Kazz i have had my fair share of housemates from hell thats why i live allone, im at my other halfs to rest up

3:33 am

sherb

housesharing works best for anarchists, who don't follow any rules...

3:33 am

Flask1

a clue please for the second sl8??

3:33 am

Haz1558

I only have one, Flask.

3:33 am

sherb

* starts looking for sl8's*

3:34 am

Haz1558

Is it SL or SI, FLask?

3:34 am

sherb

one is the gerund of throwing... another is people who cut...

3:34 am

Kazzer99

lady there is nothing wrose than fancying something when 1)shops shut, 2)you're broke or 3) both at once - I know exactly what thats like

3:34 am

Flask1

is it worth 50 or 40 Haz?

3:35 am

Haz1558

I have sl8/50 - those who throw, and sl8/40 - those who cut, especially throats.

3:35 am

Flask1

thats the one I have too.....

3:36 am

Haz1558

BUt that's two.

3:36 am

Kazzer99

ty for clue to throwers

3:37 am

Flask1

4:16 am

Haz1558

Back again - interesting typo there, lynxxx. I can't see the tourists being fond of your first version!

4:17 am

lynxxx

lol - I really should read what I type before I send it!

4:17 am

Haz1558

It happens to us all - fingers won't type what the brain tells them.

4:19 am

lynxxx

using word check at work all the time has also made me more careless

4:20 am

FMitch

Morning/evening Ladies,
Reached 100 so time for a quick chat on this lovely sunny day.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Still, you're not exactly churning out the mistakes!

4:20 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch! It's a nice grid, isn't it?

4:20 am

FMitch

It has been fun so far, love the sequences

4:20 am

lynxxx

good morning FM. we have had a glorious autumn day here too

4:21 am

Haz1558

I don't see that there'll be much need for clueing for the longer words, they just flow.

4:22 am

Wolvie

good morning and a good Easter to all the babblers!

Hiya FM - long time no see!

4:23 am

Haz1558

Yes, but they're fairly tame (the re words) so far.

4:23 am

FMitch

I've become a stealth babbler

4:24 am

Wolvie

ahhh - i see - the chat does distract from finishing in a timely fashion. ;-)

4:24 am

Haz1558

So watch out what you say about her - you never know when FMItch is listening.....

4:24 am

Haz1558

So watch out what you say about her - you never know when FMItch is listening.....

4:24 am

Haz1558

So watch out what you say about her - you never know when FMItch is listening.....

4:24 am

4:25 am

Haz1558

Sorry = the chat log is possessed.

4:25 am

FMitch

It's never stopped you Haz LOL

4:25 am

Haz1558

True - I know just the right buttons to push to get you out of lurking mode!

4:26 am

FMitch

ROFL

4:27 am

Haz1558

So, are you detoxing over Easter, FMitch or have you any chocolate laid by?

4:27 am

Haz1558

4:29 am

FMitch

If you can't beat them, join them. *sound of kettle being put on*

4:31 am

Haz1558

That's right, wait until my back's turned and start boiling kettles.

4:31 am

Wolvie

FMitch

WTG Wolvie
Can't believe I am 3/4 of the way through and only have 4 grey boxes.

4:36 am

Wolvie

3/4? good going!

4:37 am

Wolvie

I only have 2 grey boxes so far

4:37 am

Haz1558

4 including the 2 that were already grey or excluding them? I have to get my jealousy in proper proportions.

4:38 am

emtiandeca

morning all. is it an easy grid today?

4:38 am

Wolvie

LOL haz - I have 4 then

4:38 am

FMitch

Excluding Haz

4:38 am

Wolvie

hi emti - seems pretty decent

4:38 am

Andree

i have 6 but this includes 2 boxes that were 00 in the first place

4:39 am

Haz1558

OOOOOOOOOOH! And I've used the calculator to work out that you're at 131.25 words. Good going!

4:39 am

Haz1558

Just how long have you been lurking?

4:40 am

Haz1558

You're not turning into a speed merchant on us, in line with your stealth persona?

4:41 am

Wolvie

3 gray boxes besides the 00's - sad to say, I should have more, so many are just one word. ;-0

4:41 am

FMitch

I started quite early but had to stop to get the bulletin done. Using a calculator... you need to get out in the fresh air :)

4:41 am

candy

Morning all - I only need 4 more words before fireworks and they are all 6 & 7 letters. Can anyone help? One is an 'R' from the top tile

4:42 am

loredana

good morning/afternoon/evening everyone

4:42 am

Wolvie

hi candy - do you have the kingly 6/7 combo from that r?

4:42 am

Wolvie

hi lore

4:42 am

Andree

hi lore and candy

4:42 am

Haz1558

The prospect of dividing 169 by 4 was too daunting. My primary school headmaster would be appalled.

4:42 am

candy

Yes Wolvie

4:42 am

herinfernallady

hey again

4:42 am

Wolvie

hi fern

4:43 am

loredana

hey herin hows the tooth

4:43 am

Wolvie

my only other re 7 so far is the gerund of re 4 - at ease

4:43 am

Haz1558

There's a 6 and 2 7 letter words for that kingly one.

4:43 am

Haz1558

The replacement king, plural, and the period of the rule.

4:43 am

Wolvie

ahh - ty haz - I had missed that

4:44 am

candy

One down 3 to go

4:44 am

Haz1558

No problem.

4:44 am

FMitch

What ever happened to mental arithmetic?

4:44 am

Wolvie

go candy go!

4:45 am

Haz1558

FMitch - I still force myself to work out what my change is going to be in the shops. But mental arithmetic died when they introduced calculators and stopped learning times tables by rote.

4:45 am

Haz1558

Now they 'explore' numbers.

4:46 am

Andree

thx for that 3rd re haz, i had missed that

so does the shelter usually tell you what to name them? Believe it or not, when we adopted merp they had given him the name "Yankee Doodle" because he was brought to the shelter on July 4th. Hey. I'd have been ill tempered too if someone named me that!

7:12 am

these facts may be of interest to some of you: In the Midlde Ages people were not supposed to eat eggs during lent. The eggs were cooked to be preserved, and plant dyes added to the water, to distinguish cooked eggs from fresh ones. On Easter Day the eggs were then presented to the Children and parents invented stories, that they had been delivered by roosters, foxes, coockoos, and rabbits. After the 16th century the rabbits increasingly became the egg bringers. Probably cause they mulitplied so quickly. Though even in the 18th century some areas in Germany still had other delivery animals. But in the end the Bunnies got the delivery contract.

ch1212

Are there any beekeepers here? I've been reading about the massive exodus, deaths, and simple disappearance of bee colonies in 24+ states and around the world. There are conflicting reports of why, and no one seems to know. Started a couple years ago and is getting worse. ????

10:40 am

hurshy

i have one se7, 2 si7, 2sl7, 1 st7

10:40 am

hurshy

maybe it's the bee rapture

10:40 am

ch1212

Some reports place the number at 70% of the honeybees now gone.

10:41 am

ch1212

LOL hurshy -- but seriously, it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. But then again, so does the IPCC's summary report released this week on climate change.

10:41 am

Aloyisius

I read about that too, ch1212.. it is called Colony Collapse and is an unexplained phenomenon.. we used to keep bees but haven't in years.

10:41 am

Jeff7

first li 6/18, 7/28 combo please

10:41 am

prismmgc2

ch... I'm not a bee keeper but am hoping to have a hive soon. Our friends have hives & one has 2 queen larve & will soon be swarming

10:42 am

Aloyisius

The colony collapses because the workers leave the hive... so the queen and any bees that remain are unable to maintain the colony

10:42 am

ch1212

I read that normally, if bees abandon a hive then maurauding bees take over to grab the honey, but no other bees are approaching the abandoned hives.

10:42 am

hurshy

if the boat is tipping over it is a li6

10:42 am

hurshy

pirate bees! lol

10:43 am

prismmgc2, your artistry is exquisite! You are very gifted.

ty ch... I didn't realize that needed to come out

10:44 am

10:44 am

Aloyisius

Economically, Colony Collapse is a disaster for apiarists who rent their bees out to agriculture for pollination

10:44 am

hurshy

i have 4 sk, 2 sy, do i need any more of those

10:44 am

ch1212

Aloy, I could see why. I'm suspecting a connection to climate change, especially after reading that summary report. Frightening. Well, good luck with your hives :)

10:45 am

ch1212

there are 6 sk words

10:45 am

hurshy

it's hard for me to think how that could be related to climate change

10:45 am

hurshy

if it were the bees would turn up somewhere else where the climate suited them

10:45 am

hurshy

thanks ch

10:45 am

Aloyisius

no, we don't have any more hives, ch1212... but we certainly have orange trees and their blossoms depend on bees for pollination

10:47 am

ch1212

Apparently it has to do with integrated biosystems changing -- it's complex, but there's references to different insect and animal changing taking place now. I don't understand it all.

10:47 am

hurshy

yeah... i hope 8 years of bush has not pushed us to the point where it's too late for the planet

10:48 am

hurshy

ok i can't find one of the sk's still... i have 2 4's and 3 5's

10:49 am

ch1212

The report is at http://www.ipcc.ch/ and is called the summary report for policymakers.

Hurshy, do you have the sk5/18 + a vowel?

12:11 pm

Scrabbler

I have days like that too, Inge--I think we all do. So go ahead and cry, but we love you, and this too shall pass.

12:11 pm

Dorens

we sometimes have such big expectations of how we should be feeling and are let down some. I feel some of that myself...

12:11 pm

Cathyar

nm...found it

12:11 pm

Jeff7

st 6/18...

12:11 pm

hetty

I'll stop because it's making me cry

12:11 pm

Haz1558

I know! We're staying in a hotel with a car park - the church and the reception hotel shouldn't be a problem.

12:11 pm

Jeff7

ti-just a touch of rouge

12:11 pm

Cathyar

12:11 pm

Dorens

think on it.... if we are all here, then we aren't with loved ones now either (or at least some of us)

12:11 pm

Scrabbler

I am spending the day alone---I want peace and quiet today

12:11 pm

12:12 pm

inge

feel guilty about not going to church today, havent gone for months, and Lutheran churches in the US deal with you like a membre that didnt pay up,

12:12 pm

grammaterri1

then find another church inge

12:13 pm

Scrabbler

Just pray, talk to God --God wants to hear how you are doing.

12:13 pm

Dorens

yay--done with r;s. and I agree with terri

12:13 pm

grammaterri1

so sorry if it feels like that

12:13 pm

hetty

Inge, the only person who can make you feel guilty is yourself. Away with it. Commune with God at home.

12:13 pm

grammaterri1

I think that is one of the blessings, you can worship wherever, whenever and with whomever you wish

12:14 pm

Dorens

the church seems often to have forgotten who Jesus was and what he preached.

12:14 pm

Scrabbler

The Church of the Holy Babble Grid welcomes you to today's services---oops, is that sinful??

12:14 pm

hetty

and know you are not alone.

12:14 pm

Dorens

not at all.. (or it shouldnt' be, at least)

12:14 pm

grammaterri1

History channel is playing about His life, if we think we have it bad

12:14 pm

inge

I have trouble with all churches , because they are more like clubs, where they check attendance and donations. In Germany people pay church taxes and noone puts pressure on you

12:15 pm

inge

hey Scrab, I am laughting

12:15 pm

hetty

Fellow members of the Babble famioly, welcome to whatever form of worship you practise here'.

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Dorens - there are no t 7 or 8, you have the cl7 and 8, so it must be an s7 and s8 combo. There are the pain inflicters, those who cut throats and the tossers. My money is on the cutthroats.

12:30 pm

instantfame

you all enjoy yours as well =)

12:30 pm

Hi folks. I've been fiddling with the grid for five minutes at a time all day. I don't really have any time now; have to make a presentation in Dutch for thursday, in place of a quarterly final exam. But I wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter. We're not religious but holidaya these days are more than religion, they are an excuse to feel togetherness and take a day off. So happy Easter, everyone!

1:01 pm

Jacula

Same to you, MonkeyGames, and good luck with the presentation.

1:01 pm

Karys

Thank you MG.... good thoughts to you and yours !

1:01 pm

ooh yes ...|Good Luck too !

1:06 pm

happy easter everyone.

Same to you, Jade.

Thanks, folks! I think I'll get it ready in time. Whether it or indeed I make the grade,a s it were, remains to be seen.

Karys

Congrats magzel !!!....I'm getting there ( I think )

1:09 pm

Jacula

Well done, magzel.

1:11 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Karys. The presentations are where it tends to break down; I can have a native speaker check over the reports but this is a social work degree I'm studying for so the presentations need to be without notes and personal, so my grammar goes all to heck, which is points against. But I do have to admit that I do better on things if I don't have time to stress out on them, and that REALLY applkies here!

1:13 pm

Karys

sounds like it should be 'go from the heart' then MG, and you should do it in spades !!!

1:14 pm

Takuma Sato

cognacs, magzel!

1:14 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you. Hope so. It is a presentation about my new apprenticeship position, so at least I CAN spout off extemporaneously.

1:15 pm

Karys

you'll be good, I'm sure.

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Again, thank you.

1:19 pm

8:37 pm

lbdawger

stid, you don't want a barrel of fish?

8:37 pm

stidmama

OO 6? (really hoping it's not a fish...)

8:38 pm

lbdawger

oo+ the prevailing cy word

8:38 pm

stidmama

thanks lbd *slaps self with fish* I ought to have had that one.

8:38 pm

evanonut

<{*)))))>{ - - - - to stid with love

8:42 pm

stidmama

accepts fish with gratitude and offers to bake bannock to serve it with

8:42 pm

evanonut

*drools*

8:43 pm

lbdawger

wow, i'll send you a whole school of fish for fresh bannock! >*))<< <^))<<

8:44 pm

stidmama

fireworks!

8:44 pm

evanonut

pffffffffffft

8:44 pm

stidmama

LOL ladies, there will be plenty for all.

8:44 pm

lbdawger

whooo hooo Stid

8:45 pm

stidmama

is that woo-hoo for the bannock, then? *grin*

8:45 pm

evanonut

confession time: don't know what bannock is.

8:45 pm

lbdawger

for both Stid

8:46 pm

stidmama

okay, stidkids are watching a movie, and i was invited... off to be a couch potato!

8:46 pm

evanonut

ta stid

8:46 pm

lbdawger

later stid

8:46 pm

lbdawger

Nut, bannock is like a thin scone like bisquit

8:47 pm

evanonut

oooooooooh...kay i'm in

8:47 pm

lbdawger

delish, sometimes they have chunks of fruit baked in it. really yummy

8:48 pm

evanonut

sounds good. i have fresh cream cheese danish we could eat now instead.

8:48 pm

stidmama

oh -- it's also known as frybread. here's how I make it. full recipe: 4 c flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt (more or less), and enough warm water to make a slightly sticky dough. mix it with your hand until it is slightly springy to the touch. Then roll/knead little balls about the size of your palm, flatten and place into about 1/4 inch oil that is as hot as you can get it. brown on one side, then the other.

8:48 pm

lbdawger

yummm!

8:48 pm

stidmama

i like to put cumin seeds in if I am serving a soup.

8:49 pm

stidmama

It took about three iterations before I had the "feel" for the texture.

8:49 pm

lbdawger

more like a flat bread since no yeast in it. still sounds wonderful

8:50 pm

stidmama

yes, but the baking powder (if it's fresh, learned the hard way) makes them nice and biscuity. If the oil is hot enough (also learned the hard way) they are a bit heavy.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

trial by experimentation! my kind of cooking

8:52 pm

lbdawger

no shortening?

8:52 pm

stidmama

:-) yep. no shortening, because cooking in the oil fills that need.

8:53 pm

stidmama

I have wonderful cast-iron cookware. The best bannock I ever made was in the front yard on the burn pile (we have a lot of old logs from when we cleared the place) and it was so hot it si6 the hair on the back of my hands... but oh they were GOOD!

8:53 pm

lbdawger

reminds me of the tortilla recipe i have. just take out the shortening.

8:54 pm

lbdawger

i bet it was delish!

8:54 pm

stidmama

I think some people make the bannock in the whole pan, but I like the smaller ones because they are easy to serve and dip into soup

8:55 pm

lbdawger

i've seen them both ways. i think i like the "personalize" size better. less i have to share! lol

8:55 pm

stidmama

I have also seen bannock recipes that want buttermilk and such, but I think that's gilding the lily a bit.

8:55 pm

stidmama

I think we lost nut.... she's over there munching on her doughNUT!

8:55 pm

lbdawger

that's more like a scone. bannocks are real basic. or should be

8:55 pm

KristineNas

ne plz

8:56 pm

stidmama

yep. I'm all about simple. the NE is the hawaiian goose babblet, Kristine...

8:56 pm

KristineNas

9:34 pm

lbdawger

one kid was enough for me. he turned out pretty good, if you consider all the times i wanted to leave him on the highway.

9:35 pm

Jadeomoan

*chuckles* That's a thought, dawger.

9:35 pm

grammaterri1

lol dawg, know that feeling

9:35 pm

Jacula

lbd - Have you ever asked your parents if they also felt like that about you?

9:35 pm

9:35 pm

grammaterri1

Jacula

Did you ever hear your parents saying something and say to yourself, 'I'll never say/be like that!' When did yuo first find yourself saying/doing it?

9:37 pm

grammaterri1

explains why I had so many kids too, I adored my parents and wanted to emulate them

9:37 pm

9:37 pm

Jadeomoan

Jacula...I first heard myself saying some of the same things my mom used to say to me when my daughter was 2.

9:38 pm

lbdawger

i can't imagine any kid not saying that jac, and lo and behold...you hear yourself saying and doing those very things!

9:38 pm

pam

hi, jac, helenk, lbd

9:38 pm

Jacula

Has anyone ever yet written the definitve book about parenthood? I think not!

9:38 pm

pam

9:38 pm

grammaterri1

pam

9:39 pm

Jacula

I remember having to put fragile/precious things up on higher shelves when friends' young kids came visiting with their parents. I thought, 'I won't have to do that when I have kids because I will train my children to behave better!' Yeah, right! LOL.

9:40 pm

Jadeomoan

My sister and I are on the 6 week body makeover program, which means no chocolate for either of us....or processed sugar......and she ADORES peeps for Easter. Since she couldn't have any this year, my niece and older brother bought her the plush version of them and she just brought them in to show me...

9:40 pm

pam

Sound cute, Jade

9:40 pm

lbdawger

how sweet jade! also being a buddy for the makeover

9:41 pm

Jadeomoan

They are, pam.

9:41 pm

Jacula

pam - I've had loads and loads of sleep over the past few days and a couple of lazyish days to boot over the holiday. Lay on my steamer chair and read in the sun for the first time this year, yesterday afternoon. Hence, I'm awake now.

9:41 pm

Jadeomoan

Actually dawger, my SISTER'S the one being the buddy. Mom bought me the makeover so that I could lose some weight for my new career, and Sissy is helping me.

9:42 pm

lbdawger

she's a good sister Jade. how's it going for you? processed foods are bad bad bad

9:43 pm

Jacula

Tough over Easter time though, Jade.

9:43 pm

pam

Oh, I get it, jac.... you must need only 4 or 5 hours....

9:43 pm

pam

Yes, she is a good sister

9:44 pm

lbdawger

my husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes and we've had to change the way we eat. he's got a real big sugar tooth...but he's lost over 30 pounds in the last 10 weeks

9:44 pm

Jadeomoan

Umm....well.....This is actually the first "real" week *I've* been on it....mom bought it, I was skeptical, and asked my sister to look it over. She's got OCD you see. She tlook it over, and then got me in on it when I got back into town.

9:44 pm

Jacula

pam - Used to, but I need 8 hourse at least 3 times a week these days. I've had that and more over past few days.

9:44 pm

pam

Good for him, lbd

9:45 pm

helenkeller

lbd -same with mine - sugar tooth & all, he switched to all sugar free stuff, but he just eats so much he hasn't lost much weight

9:45 pm

pam

If i get too much sleep, I am a mess, too, Jac... but I sleep so restlessly lately, that I aim for 8 every night....

9:45 pm

Jadeomoan

I haven't measured for the week, and I am staying CLEAR of the scale. But I am already noticing that certain pieces of clothing I own are fitting better.

9:45 pm

lbdawger

because of his diet, i've had to change mine too. i've lost 15, and that's not really trying. just watching the amounts and what we're eating

9:46 pm

Enomis65

hello fellow babblers

9:46 pm

Jadeomoan

Good for both of you dawger!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

hi enomis

9:46 pm

pam

hi, enomis

9:46 pm

Jacula

Hi, Enomis.

9:46 pm

Jadeomoan

Greetings enomis!

9:46 pm

pam

wow, lbd! And, go Jade!

9:46 pm

pam

earlier, my phantom was engine. Now, it's acrostic...

9:46 pm

Enomis65

who is losing weight on Easter day>

9:46 pm

helenkeller

hey enomis!

9:47 pm

Jacula

Well done, ldb and jade. Far too much sugar, starch and salt in many modern eating ways.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

take a look at some of the diabetic recipes. also watching how many carbs you take in will help

9:47 pm

Jadeomoan

It's kinda liberating, actually, pam. I mean....I fit into my size 12's again, no sweat. And the size 10's pinch just a LITTLE bit...(trying not to use a ti word)

9:47 pm

pam

EatingWell has some great recipes...

9:47 pm

Jacula

Enomis - on Good Friday some idiot stuck a slimming world leaflet through our letterbox! LOL.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

it helps too tho, now that i'm not working to be home to cook and keep the processed foods at a bare minimum

9:47 pm

Jadeomoan

really? Where do I find them?

9:48 pm

helenkeller

slimming world?

9:48 pm

Enomis65

Poor Jacula!

9:48 pm

pam

Yay, jade, that is great that your clothes are fitting that much better

9:48 pm

pam

The books? EatingWell is a magazine and they have also put out some cookbooks,

9:48 pm

Jacula

lbd - At last! A convert to my little homilys about preparing and eating food from fresh and not adding too much 'stuff' to it.

9:49 pm

Jacula

*grins*

9:49 pm

lbdawger

Jade you can find diabetic recipes on the web as well as in bookstores.

9:49 pm

Jadeomoan

It's fun! My grandmother died 9 years ago because of diabetes and numerous problems related therein. I swore I wouldn't live that way.

9:49 pm

lbdawger

i've always been antiprocessed foods jac. Hubz on the other hand loves sugar, fat, salt, breads lathered in butter and jelly

9:49 pm

Jacula

Once you've given up eating ready-prepared meals (microwave meals or ping food, as Haz calls it) you realise how much fat and salt you can taste in it when you do have any.

9:50 pm

Jadeomoan

And with my new career taking off, I need to slim down. The camera adds enough pounds without my help.

9:50 pm

pam

I love the bread--with no spread. My problem is portion control, not the food....

9:50 pm

pam

What is the career, Jade?

9:50 pm

Jadeomoan

And with my new career taking off, I need to slim down. The camera adds enough pounds without my help.

9:51 pm

Jadeomoan

I'm in radio and television broadcasting.

9:51 pm

Jacula

Sounds like something in front of the camera (which adds 10lbs), pam.

9:51 pm

lbdawger

portions is a biggie too. supersizing has warped our sense of balance. 4 oz of chicken is really a healthy portion of meat

9:51 pm

lbdawger

which station jade?

9:51 pm

helenkeller

i love that episode of 'friends' - where they are watching old home movies with the FAT monica & chandler asks "exactly how many cameras were on you?" LOL every time!

9:52 pm

pam

duh,... thanks, jac! And, thanks Jade, for spelling it out....

9:52 pm

lbdawger

lol HK

9:52 pm

Jacula

portion-sizing is not so much of a problem here in UK as in USA. Things are moving that way, though. Nice to see that MacDonalds finally gave up and closed down after 25 years in our local market town.

9:53 pm

Minski

Greetings again all.

9:53 pm

Minski

16 left to find.

9:53 pm

lbdawger

hi Minski

9:53 pm

Minski

Does anyone have the EN6&7?

9:53 pm

lbdawger

go minski go!

9:53 pm

Jadeomoan

I'm at KYGO radio station here in Denver, and I am trying to get on with ABC as a weather anchor as well, dawger.

9:53 pm

helenkeller

ya know lbd - you are so right! when i was 125lb in college i would always order junior whoppers, that was enough - somewhere over time i started order the regular sized whoppers, never dawned on me the huge difference. i don't eat them often but now i'm back to the jr. whopper ALL THE TIME

9:53 pm

Jacula

pam - wasn't being mean! I'm sure you look fine and DON'T go trying for size zero for the cameras!

9:54 pm

lbdawger

keeping my fingers crossed for you jade for the weather anchor! kewl beans!

9:54 pm

pam

jac, i was referring to your response about Jade's career!

9:54 pm

pam

I am NO zero, nor will I ever want to be

9:55 pm

Jacula

Yes, I realise that now Pam. My advice still holds though.

9:55 pm

lbdawger

en6+7, en+ the prevailing cy word then plural

I thought the entire grid today consisted of normal words.

9:58 pm

helenkeller

*not going to ask why jacs elbows would be bashing the low ceiling, pic in my mind too funny* ROFL

10:08 pm

Jacula

pam - not heard of that one. Will look it up. I'm reading 'Suite Francaise' at present.

10:09 pm

Jacula

Hell - I will send you a pic of the room and then you will see why I bashed my elbow just pulling the duvet over me.

10:09 pm

pam

Suite Francaise is on my short list, just finished Allegra Good man's Intuition

10:09 pm

angel13136

I've been trying to get them without help, but I give up! Any clues for the first two, in6 and in7?

10:09 pm

godthaab

Suite Francaise is amazing!

10:10 pm

helenkeller

okay jacs! before you dash my image though, there was a handsome man involved in the bashing, no?

10:10 pm

Jacula

Suite franÃ§aise is the title of a planned sequence of five novels by IrÃ¨ne NÃ©mirovsky, a French writer of Russian Jewish origin. In July 1942, having just completed the first two of the series, NÃ©mirovsky was arrested as a Jew and detained at Pithiviers and then Auschwitz, where she died of typhus. The notebook containing the two novels was preserved by her daughters but not examined until 1998. They were published, in a single volume entitled Suite franÃ§aise, in 2004.

The sequence was to portray life in France in the period following June 1940, the month in which the invading German army rapidly defeated the defending French; Paris and northern France immediately came under German occupation. The first novel, TempÃªte en juin (Storm in June) depicts the flight of citizens from Paris in the hours preceding the German advance and in the days following it. The second, Dolce, shows life in a small French country town, Bussy, in the first, strangely peaceful, months of the German occupation. The third novel, CaptivitÃ©, for which NÃ©mirovsky left a bare plot outline, would have shown the coalescing of a resistance, with some already-introduced characters now under arrest, and under threat of death, in Paris. The fourth and fifth would perhaps have been called Batailles and La Paix ("Battles" and "Peace"), but these exist only as titles against which NÃ©mirovsky had placed question marks; necessarily so, since, at the point at which she wrote, the events that would eventually end the War had not yet happened and could only be guessed at.

10:11 pm

Jacula

Hell - Sorry, no. I was sharing my room with a female friend who was in the single bed on the opposite side of the roof, taking note of what I did to bash my elbow, taking care not to do it herself and laughing at me.

10:12 pm

helenkeller

very moving jacs

10:12 pm

Good thing she's a good friend! She'd have had a black eye otherwise! LOL.

There was just one handsome man there that weekend (until my other half turned up to collect me, that is). He was a titled gent but, unfortunately for us females of the world, not inclined towards us. Perfect gentleman and perfect host, though.

Congrats taffybach!

10:34 pm

sewwell

clue for eg6,24, anyone?

10:34 pm

Jacula

Hell, it was not only narrow (i.e. each stair not broad enough to fit even a small adult, modern-sized foot (size 4 or 5 on) but was also shiny/slippery and the penultimate 3 and 4 stairs also had a dangerous downward slope! Others who have stayed there before us went up and down the stairs but once, had a few drinks and slept on the floor downstairs rather than face that staircase again! At least me and my friend made it up and down those stairs, drinks or not, 2 nights running! LOL.

10:35 pm

taffybach

thank you darling

10:36 pm

helenkeller

our brave jacs!

10:36 pm

Jacula

As for claustrophobic (which I am), Hell. I thought that when I first went up there. Then I found the window between the 2 beds. PHEW! Might have had to have made a scene if I hadn't have!

10:36 pm

lady ace

hi everyone.

10:37 pm

katrynwise

eg5 - opposite of "to eat" 6 is plural

10:43 pm

Jacula

Hell - I'm proud that I forced myself to go down into Hellfire Corner (WW2 ops area many 100s of feet below the White Cliffs of Dover). I did say I was claustrophobic beforehand and so they did send down an extra guide to take me back out some quick way if I panicked. I managed to keep it under control though.

10:44 pm

helenkeller

awesome jacs!

10:44 pm

Jacula

There are lots of underground caves I'd like to see - no, not the things potholers squeeze into, but I need to practice more self-hypnotism before I visit them.

10:57 pm

Jacula

sewell - There's a site called Babblers' Anonymous that was set up to do that and for us to chat. No one seems to go in there much, except to get BJ's stats, these days. Pity!

10:57 pm

;fat' is in the eye of the beholder. Incidentally, did I mention that my now British size 6, daughter, has recentely broken up with her latetest shitty b/f and now seems to be downsizing again because she could not seem to please him? It doesn't matter to her what the rest of us say or even what her ex-b'fs tell her.... AAARGH!

11:19 pm

jillibus

The thing is, sizes now have no consistency and the higher the price the samller the size. What used to be a size 10 (slender, 24" waist, etc) is now about a size 2, so a nowadays 14 is about a 20 old-time

O2 - thank you for that. The bed thing is no prob - the anally retentive b/f IS! He wantsa to eff everything in sight when/IF (big if, since he hasn't tried too hard to study for it) when he gets to Uni.He's just to put it quite simply, an Ars*hole. That's his nickname in our house and among their group of friends, who have been great to hear over all this. Just wish she could see it! She spent last evening with ex-b/f (who is 'The One', could he just SEE it!). We live in hope.
