3:56 am

lynxxx

Morning Haz. Cooked Ta7 pudding for yr family?

3:57 am

Haz1558

5:12 am

LoriP

Buddy system was mandatory at our house until Mom said otherwise.

5:13 am

LoriP

That was marathonosity of unprecedenting proportionation!

5:34 am

5:35 am

LoriP

Yup. Duh.... :p

5:36 am

Dorens

5:36 am

elder

5:37 am

elder

Good Sprite and yes .. she's learning ...

5:37 am

LoriP

6:08 am

One of the the worse accents ever in a film ..

6:08 am

LoriP

Pourquoi is chevaux? :p

6:08 am

Atalante

oooo

6:08 am

sprite

so... there you are, finding yourself riding a horse on full speed. Next to you runs a pig. On your left a lion. Behind you is a policecar, making an awful noise. You are scared blind. What do you do to get out of this nightmare?

6:08 am

elder

:)

6:09 am

crosshair

6:09 am

6:09 am

Atalante

6:09 am

LoriP

G'd morning cross.

6:10 am

sprite

Lori to the sinbin

6:10 am

LoriP

I'm not waking up, and you can't make me. This was all a bad dream....

6:10 am

Atalante

6:11 am

sprite

6:11 am

LoriP

Jeez, Ata has Ata-tude! :p

6:11 am

Eva

sorry for coming in in the middle. Probably missed something vital.

6:11 am

sprite

don't your merry-go-rounds feature policecars? With siren and all? Ours do.

6:11 am

LoriP

G'd morning Eva. it's a zoo here today.

6:11 am

elder

Hello Cr5 hair.

6:11 am

elder

hello Eva.

6:12 am

sprite

it is all still there, Eva, if you want to read back. But most of it is silliness.

6:12 am

LoriP

You didn't miss anything Eva.... ***whistles casually***

6:12 am

Eva

no-never. Only horses, horse drawn carriages, sometimes tigers and lions.

6:12 am

Eva

Good morning all.

6:12 am

NonoNanette

6:12 am

6:13 am

Frances

Just read back through the chat Lori.........hmmmmmmm!

6:13 am

Eva

But then I haven't been to modern merry-go-rounds, if thy have them, at amusement parks. The old ones only had animals.

6:13 am

sprite

6:13 am

sprite

enjoy, nDan, and remember they don't melt in the water, those kids :D

6:13 am

elder

very little to see in the chat archive.. ... boring ...

6:13 am

Frances

Didn't see it sprite.

6:13 am

nDanLia

at coney island in 60s had boat version and car version, and flying plane version

6:14 am

LoriP

Shhh! It's not worth waiting for the archived stuff. T'was nothing. Just go about 'yer day....Loved it sprite

6:14 am

littlebit

6:14 am

nDanLia

no, they just love running in it [we even added ride to lake this year since they could only wade in creek previou sly

6:14 am

Eva

really nDan? I ws only there in the 50's.

6:15 am

Frances

Do you have the link sprite?

6:15 am

Eva

But weren't those really "rides" as opposed to real merry-go-rounds?

6:17 am

sprite

will post the link in a sec, am looking

6:17 am

sprite

http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJDNSp1QJA

6:17 am

Eva

Does anyone have experience with what to do when one has left the car window open in a deluge and the driver's seat is sodden, and also the front carpet? I can put the house dehumidifier in there, and also turn the air conditioning and heat all the way up, but will that still leave dampness and mildew? I'm trying to avoid the cost of going to a pro, but not if I'll be living with mold spores forever.

6:18 am

Frances

Thank you sprite. Just going to watch

6:18 am

crosshair

towels,lots of towels with weight on them and change every half hour

6:18 am

sprite

add loads and loads of newspapers to it, Eva. And keep changing.

6:18 am

amelu0218

eva, a shop vac does pretty good to remove water... also if you can stuff newspaper into the underside of the seat, it will absorb quite a bit of damp/water...

6:19 am

crosshair

then rent a steam-water vacuum

6:19 am

Atalante

and packets of silica gel in there

6:19 am

Eva

sounds like you guys speak from experience. Thank you!

6:19 am

elder

Eva, if you have dry weather now... towel as much as possible and leave all windows and vents open and then vacuum when dry.

6:19 am

crosshair

dont add heat!!

6:19 am

sprite

oh yes. Happens to us a lot. And our car leaks as well.

6:20 am

crosshair

you just make a sauna

6:20 am

Eva

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we're going to have really dry hot weather for a while.

6:20 am

sprite

just don't put on the heater, because it will turn everything to steam and it will make your whole car wet.

6:20 am

crosshair

lol we think alike sprite:)

6:21 am

sprite

we sure do, cr5 :)

6:22 am

elder

Which reminds me ... once on a visit to client, in the winter, dark and dim, drove cautiously down a lane, over a slight hill and the next sight... the river ... stopped in time by a few inches and had to reverse .. and to top it all. when I finally reached the clients home... they were out !

Atalante

6:34 am

carleekat

6:34 am

sprite

if they were really hungry, they wouldn't pickle them first.

6:35 am

elder

LOL

6:35 am

Atalante

somewhat hungry ppl then!

6:35 am

sprite

perhaps people who fear going hungry later in the year?

6:36 am

crosshair

they say you know they are cooked proper when they pop between your teeth..ugh

6:36 am

elder

AAhh stop ! :)

6:36 am

crosshair

but enough of that my english muffies are coming

6:36 am

sprite

we have this funny rule here in the house about not letting testicles pop between our teeth.

6:36 am

Atalante

I can think of worse. But not much worse

6:36 am

crosshair

good rule

6:37 am

Atalante

I'd rather eat testicles than brain

6:37 am

sprite

well, since I am the only one who is ever in that exact position, it is not a fair rule.

6:37 am

crosshair

there is a oriental 1000,year old boiled duck eggs....they are all green inside...

6:37 am

sprite

*seconds Ata, but only just*

6:38 am

carleekat

the boiled duck eggs....dellicacy in phillipines...espicially good if you get teh beak and bone crunch

6:39 am

Atalante

balut. ewwww

6:39 am

6:39 am

sprite

indian bread alert

6:39 am

carleekat

6:40 am

crosshair

every 5 duck eggs you get a free beak!:)

6:40 am

Atalante

I will eat pretty much anything, but I really can't understand balut

6:41 am

carleekat

i will just about try anything...but...not that

6:42 am

Atalante

exactly!

6:42 am

sprite

I could try that, but they shouldn't tell me what it is beforehand. Or after.

6:42 am

Atalante

you'd soon realise when you bit the beak

6:42 am

carleekat

well...as i don't like reg boiled eggs to start with....will tollerate devilled egs....but only just....egg white in general is not a fav texture in my mouth

6:43 am

carleekat

there is aV in this grid...i JUST saw the v

6:44 am

sprite

right with you there, carlee. Even my baked eggs must be done both sides. I hate practically everything that is jellylike on my tongue.

6:44 am

sprite

6:44 am

carleekat

6:45 am

My Garmin malfunctioned today and I am in a debate. Get the el cheapo Garmin, or spend a bout 150 dollars mroe for the new sleek one that is much easier to use.

7:29 am

pabtrek

7:30 am

Uneaixoise

bonjour, peri!

7:30 am

redturtlehead

the other one is pretty much identical to the one I am using now, but I am so wanting the cool expensive one...even though....I should be saving money, I need new shoes too, so thats like more than one 12 shift worth of running crud.

7:31 am

redturtlehead

oh darn I have to buy plane tickets too.

7:31 am

montreal13

7:33 am

7:36 am

carleekat

peri....the 8 builds from the sun ring...there are 5 6/7's and 8 altogether from same root

7:36 am

running, even at altitude seems safer than flying, they are cutting back so much these days.

7:36 am

redturtlehead

BUt you know, I have gotten on a Nigerian Aircraft and Flown there...one would think...I could handle American Airlines.

9:08 am

flosey

9:08 am

flosey

squash, that is

9:08 am

Vicuna

Hello, all. (Just putting on my charity outfit.)

9:08 am

Uneaixoise

9:09 am

Vicuna

Now if only we could get "cheese" in the grid, we'd be all set.

9:10 am

flosey

good one Une

9:10 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:11 am

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

I manage a good one once in a bleu moon . . .

9:11 am

Atalante

have we ever had mozzarella in the grid?

9:11 am

9:14 am

SamanthaJoy

wear it around you while cooking, eva

9:14 am

Vicuna

ap5 - what 50's housewives wore

9:15 am

EvaNadine

danke!

9:15 am

Atalante

bet Haz still wears one

9:16 am

bichon

wait, my hubby wears one

9:16 am

Vicuna

I wear one sometimes, as well, actually.

9:18 am

Haz1558

Doesn't everyone wear an ap5?

9:18 am

BzznBea

I do.

9:18 am

Vicuna

With my yellow rubber gloves, of course.

9:19 am

Haz1558

Not all the time, but for serious cooking.

9:19 am

Atalante

nope!

9:19 am

flosey

I do - still have the one my son wore the first year Canada's Wonderland opened - about 25 years ago and it's as good as new!

9:19 am

flosey

he worked in the rib pit

9:19 am

Atalante

could be because I try not to do any serious cooking

9:19 am

Haz1558

My rubber gloves are blue. Marigold Future. I can recommend them for their longevity and comfort of wearing. (That's my first pllug for them)

9:20 am

Vicuna

I'd love some, Haz! Send a few pairs over. Mine always leak.

9:20 am

Judi

zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Aprons and gloves. zzzzzzzz

9:20 am

Haz1558

I think it's one of the reasons I don't like Nigella Lawson - apart from looking beautiful and being married to a multi-millionaire - she doesn't wear an ap5 and she doesn't roll up her sleeves.

9:21 am

stidmama

hello all! *wondering where my ap5 is*

9:21 am

EvaNadine

HAPPY BASTILLE DAY!

9:23 am

flosey

hubby went in to the lab for routine blood check and the lab tech was having difficulty - she finally asked him if he'd prefer to come back the next day

9:23 am

stidmama

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

Liberté Egalité Fraternité!!

9:24 am

stidmama

oh golly... poor mr flo

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

bonjour, stid!

9:24 am

flosey

9:24 am

lexleeanne

oooh flosey - I would NOT be coming back...

9:25 am

stidmama

:-D That is not much like me.

9:25 am

lexleeanne

9:25 am

flosey

9:25 am

Uneaixoise

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

9:26 am

lexleeanne

9:26 am

flosey

I've reached a stand still with 12 to go

9:26 am

Vicuna

It's not an either/or proposition, lexleeanne! ;D

9:26 am

stidmama

I would not return if the lab tech were having a hard time...

9:26 am

flosey

the reason stid was that there would be a different one on the next day

9:26 am

lexleeanne

VIC - if everyone else thinks it is easy it is

9:26 am

stidmama

lex, I think this grid stinks. Like fresh manure. or two-day CHICKEN manure.

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

wow, flosey! I'm stuck at 65! (no list yet . . . )

9:27 am

flosey

O

9:32 am

Vicuna

The one you paddle, the one you paddle along, the one you listen to? Or still another?

9:32 am

Atalante

the paddle one! and the listen to one actually!

9:33 am

stidmama

and now at 70... *wanders off reluctantly*

9:33 am

Vicuna

I often miss the paddle one, too, for some reason.

9:34 am

stidmama

(74 words) *poof*

9:34 am

Atalante

wow, do I moan about them that often that everyone knows about the paddle one!

9:35 am

Good Afternoon Everyone.

9:36 am

Vicuna

Hello, elder.

Ho hum. think I'll wander off and do some Art.

9:44 am

Haz1558

Bye VI.

9:45 am

Vicuna

Back in a bit for some more wordage. *waves*

9:45 am

Atalante

not some Art!

9:45 am

Vicuna

*with a backwards glance* No?

9:45 am

SharonRA

lord do I need clues

9:46 am

Atalante

quelle surprise :) what Art are you doing now?

9:46 am

SharonRA

for anything

9:46 am

SharonRA

101 left, and the blinders come down apparently

9:46 am

Vicuna

"The Enormous Turnip" =D It seems to go with my phantoms of "salad" and "spinach"

9:47 am

Atalante

wow! that's - different!

9:47 am

Vicuna

Not really. It's a folk tale.

9:48 am

Atalante

um yes. I remembered that after saying it *blush*

9:48 am

Judi

Goodness. I hope it's a folk tale. An enormous turnip would be quite frightening.

9:48 am

Atalante

it would!

9:49 am

Vicuna

But it would make lots of yummy soup and such!

9:49 am

Judi

Come to think of it, even the small ones are horrifying.

9:49 am

Vicuna

If you have a sufficiently Enormous Pot.

9:49 am

Judi

Turnips and yummy do not go together.

9:50 am

Vicuna

There's an enormous potato variant if you'd prefer that, judi.

9:50 am

Atalante

I told my husband that the turnip was worshipped within Canterbury Cantedral because the Black Prince's (who is buried there) emblem was the turnip

9:50 am

Atalante

he believed me for about 2 days

9:50 am

Vicuna

lol. Well, you never can tell what some people will worship!

9:51 am

Judi

Taters are okay. Turnips, rutabaga, parsnip... all vile tubers.

9:51 am

Atalante

he's very gullible. it's such fun!

9:51 am

EvaNadine

my dad makes really yummy roasted potatoes...
one time i went down to my parents + they served me what i thought were the roasted potatoes, but later, they told me they were parsnips -- i quite enjoyed them!

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone!

9:52 am

Frances

Roast parsnips ARE yummy.

Afternoon all.

9:52 am

Judi

Oh, the deception, Eva.

9:52 am

nancethefan

hey & hugggggsssss y'all

9:53 am

EvaNadine

i just laughed that they tried to fool ME because i was always the kid who LIKED vegetables!

9:53 am

Vicuna

I like all the root veggies. Of course, I like pretty much all veggies period. With the notable exception of eggplant.

9:53 am

nancethefan

brb - i have to go deal with the icon theme - lol

9:54 am

Atalante

I like them all pretty much. Except the Brussels Sprouts of Deadly Evil

9:54 am

Atalante

and swede

9:54 am

Vicuna

In college when I worked at the dining center I always dispensed Vegetable Facts when serving.

9:54 am

Judi

The eggplant isn't unpleasant to look at, but it totally lacks taste. The only way I'll eat it is if it's ala parmigiana.

9:55 am

elizabethB

hey Judy, I just sort of lurk while I play but I read you are from Newark, I live in Hockessin!

9:55 am

Judi

Parmegiana? Parmesan? Well, slap me silly, but don't call me Italian.

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

try broiling it and making a sandwich. it's very meaty

9:55 am

Judi

Elizabeth, you lurker! Hi, neighbor.

9:56 am

Atalante

aubergine's yummy in moussaka

9:57 am

Judi

Here's an eggplant/aubergine question: eat the peel or don't eat the peel? Comments?

9:57 am

Atalante

there are people who don't?

9:57 am

elizabethB

Hey!

9:57 am

72 Temple Owl

peel's rather harsh. peel if slicing; don't peel if making cubes like for ratatouille

9:57 am

CadFan

Hello everyone! Pretty as it may be - I don't eat eggplant at all.

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

wait i take it back: i think maybe always peel

9:58 am

Atalante

the peel is the only bit that tastes interesting

9:58 am

lshult

no need to peel the skin from eggplant

9:58 am

Judi

Eggplant peel is edible but indigestible (meaning it passes through like potato skins and corn).

9:59 am

Frances

.....crawls back under stone.

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

*grabs frances' foot and pulls her back* where ya going?

10:01 am

Frances

Thought I was invisible. Said hello and got ignored so thought I'd go back under the stone. :(

10:01 am

Judi

Do stay, Frances.

10:01 am

Atalante

you know its never ignoring, frances

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps that's it...we can only see eachother.

10:02 am

EvaNadine

ok all, eating my sammich, headed to the docs....be back later!

10:02 am

Judi

Did you go to Franklin Mills, TO?

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, judi.

10:02 am

Judi

Did you buy anything good?

10:02 am

Frances

OK, I'll stay but please let go of my foot TO.

10:04 am

bichon

I love eggplant, but not th4e peel. Someone said corn passes through without being digested. That's just the outer layer, right?

10:04 am

Atalante

leggo, TO!

10:04 am

nancethefan

back

10:04 am

72 Temple Owl

*releases gentle death grip* hmmmlet's see - two tops and sandals

10:06 am

Judi

I suppose it is just the outer layer, Bichon. Corn tastes good, but it really doesn't have much nutritional value. Starch and sugar.

10:08 am

Atalante

so on a diet, should we all eat eggplant peel by the ton? filling and indigestible

10:08 am

AsGreen

10:53 am

Atalante

I never realised Bastille Day was so well known worldwide!

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

kje, be sure to include a guillotine moment!!

10:53 am

Scarlet

Maybe I'll have French toast...

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

mais oui, ata!!

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

Scarlet LOL!

10:53 am

missbeeze

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

"pain perdu"

10:53 am

Atalante

I bet most people here (in the UK) wouldn't know it was today

10:53 am

Scarlet

Ata... it's studied in grade-schools and then we promptly forget it...

10:54 am

Haz1558

This is babble land, though, Ata. We are well-educated.

10:54 am

Atalante

true. we even have a child genius

10:55 am

kje

I will guillotine my baguette and stinky cheese before I eat them

10:55 am

Haz1558

And you, a grown up genius.

10:55 am

et voila, kje!!

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

10:55 am

Atalante

well, of course! *smug*

10:55 am

Atalante

oui! oui! franglais!

10:55 am

Haz1558

Smug was severely lacking for a while. Ata's internet connection was down and all her smugness evaporated.

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

non1 NON!

10:56 am

Haz1558

Ah, I can see TO is just willing us on. She's even joining in.

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

NO I'M NOT

10:56 am

Scarlet

Ah... the fluttering fields of smug are drifting across the pond now... I can breathe so much easier...

10:56 am

Haz1558

New York appears to need no excuse to celebrate anything.

10:57 am

Atalante

la la *sings* Sur le pont d’Avignon ...

10:57 am

kje

on y danse, on y danse

10:58 am

Haz1558

I could really annoy TO. I have a book of Baudelaire somewhere, her ennui levels could match Ata's smug by the time I had finished.

1:17 pm

Scarlet

Daughter keeps telling me to eat/make vegetarian sushi...

1:17 pm

Atalante

omg no. its *so* easy!

1:18 pm

Scarlet

It's very pretty to look at in the Japanese and Chinese buffet presentations...

1:18 pm

missbeeze

maybe he would like Thai food? that is a good alternative

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

my friend just took a sushi-making class, so hopefully she will make some soon!

1:18 pm

Scarlet

LOVE Thai...

1:18 pm

Scarlet

LOVE Thai...

1:18 pm

MLFAN17

Atalante

it really is easy, Eva. If you can get hold of good quality fish, you're 80% there

1:18 pm

missbeeze

oooh me too! i'm way into making it lately

1:18 pm

MLFAN17

i hate thai food

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

i think he would like thai (i LOVE it!!) because it has similar dishes to chinese, without the stuff he doesnt like in chinese takeout (hes never had GOOD chinese, only crappy takeout)

1:18 pm

Scarlet

Winglike, MLF

1:19 pm

missbeeze

1:22 pm

SeanS

there are lots of things being made the you shouldn't eat, MLF

1:23 pm

Scarlet

One of the main holdbacks is the odor of fish. I love fish that is unfishy smelling... love shellfish: lobster, crab, Alaskan crablegs, oysters and clams... but have pulled away from them too since there was a very bad outbreak of hepatitis from raw bivalves...

1:23 pm

hurshy

thanks, speaking of fish

1:23 pm

Atalante

raw bivalves aren't such a good idea health-wise

1:23 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Ata... such as coffee...now it's excellent for women to drink it...

1:23 pm

Atalante

shellfish are a very different kettle of fish to fish

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

true sean but raw fish can really make you sick.. and the after i am not sure

1:24 pm

Scarlet

**snort**

1:24 pm

EvaNadine

if youre getting truly fresh fish for sushi, it wont smell fishy -- if it does, you shouldnt buy it

1:24 pm

Scarlet

but I crave steak tartare... go figure that dichotomy out...

1:24 pm

Atalante

pretty much anything can make youreally sick, mlf. fish are pretty safe if you get good quality fish

1:24 pm

MLFAN17
