when using a meat thermometer, at what temp do you remove your standing rib from oven? (big family discussion)

12:35 am

Merry Christmas ML

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart, me 2

12:35 am

130 for med. rare

12:36 am

vashongin

140 for just slightly warmer

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

k, ty... some thot that was too low (everyone is on a meat safety kick)

12:36 am

rururocks

I pull it out at 125 and let it continue cooking our ot the oven

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

up to what temp then ru?

12:37 am

vashongin

we cooked ours at 500 F for 25 minutes, then 200 for the rest of the time.

12:37 am

rururocks

with foil over it.

12:37 am

rururocks

that's how I do it too vash

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

stand for 15 minutes?

12:37 am

rururocks

10 minutes

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

ty vash

12:38 am

rururocks

I like my meat a little rarer though

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

k... every place we looked (cookbooks, online, etc) everyone uses such different temps for the 1st 20 minutes and even for the rest of the time

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

and definitely different for meat thermometer temp... guess you just have to keep trying them til you find one everyone loves

12:39 am

vashongin

yeah...we looked up one that stayed at 325 for the whole time

12:39 am

sammysmom

i m no judge- i like mi meat well done

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

or cook 2 small ones (one rarer than the other)

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

I'm closer to you sammysmom than as rare as my daughter likes it

12:39 am

vashongin

i love mine med rare...more rare than med.

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

most of my family does, too... "take the moo out" lol

12:40 am

rururocks

yours?

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

hubby took ours out at about 135; put foil over for almost 15 minutes

12:41 am

rururocks

that should have been well done

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

it was great, but daughter would have liked it rarer... pink in middle

12:42 am

vashongin

i have one daughter that loves meat brown or black and the other likes it bloody

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

8 plus pounds I think

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

that makes it tough vash

12:42 am

vashongin

we let the younger one put hers in the microwave to cook it further

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

we are just learning to cook standing ribs, so it will take us awhile I think

8:15 am

If she had the vaccine then this wi4 be a very mild illness. If not, it could be worse. Levi, at 5 mo, may or may not have remaining antibodies from mama.

8:17 am

JBV

scrabbler, did Santa leave something for the bunnies?

8:18 am

hurshy

hi

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I bought a bag of orchard grass and gave each bunny a pile of that to gobble up. There are various hays/grasses for bunnies: timothy, bunny brome, orchard grass, oat hay...

8:20 am

Dorens

crossy i want some of your scalloped taters

8:20 am

crosshair

lol dorens,there is lots to go round;)

8:20 am

Dorens

and scrabbler's veggie lasagna too

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Oxbow Animal Health in Nebraska = my source for bunny foods

8:21 am

crosshair

i make them often cause they are my mrs favorites

8:21 am

JBV

is that dried grass, scrabbler? I didn't know about that

8:21 am

Dorens

ken is making this huge prime rib roast, and i'm not a beef lover.. but he does make great stuffed potatoes with turkey bacon, red onions and mushrooms.. i'll eat two of those!

8:21 am

JBV

we have a tradition (from Puerto Rico) that children leave grass out on Jan. 5 for the camels of the 3 Kings - I used to use plastic Easter basket grass!!!

8:21 am

Dorens

i love the sound of timothy... didn't peter rabbit like that?

8:22 am

Scrabbler

I am going to make 2 large pans of the lasagne! Spinach, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms

8:22 am

JBV

I would have bought the real thing if I had only known

8:22 am

JBV

timothy? in Peter Rabbit? doesn't sound familiar, doren

8:22 am

Dorens

no, i guess not. in my little girl mind they did sort of go together..

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Peter Rabbit stole onions from Mr MacGregor's garden.

8:23 am

Dorens

somehow i knew about timothy and liked it (the idea, not the actual grass)

8:23 am

JBV

onions? hmmm.. i'll have to check my peter rabbit...

8:24 am

JBV

I used to know exactly on which shelf to find it - unfortunately after moving/packing/unpacking, etc. I no longer have instant book-locator ability

8:25 am

Dorens

i already gave all my beatrix potter books to phoebe..

8:26 am

JBV

p17.htm

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I found my Italian book of Peter Rabbit but not my English one. La Storia del Coniglietto Pietro.

8:27 am

JBV

how nice, scrabbler!

8:28 am

Dorens

terrific thanks jbv

8:28 am

Dorens

scrabbler, that is a good way to learn the language!

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Peter also has an adventure in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny.

8:28 am

JBV

we used to read and reread all those wonderful little stories - mrs. tiggywinkle, etc. -

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and I want to buy some paralle Italian-English books soon.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

I love Miss Potter's drawings and have framed pix over my fireplace and in my downstairs' bunny room.

8:30 am

JBV

scrabbler, I've done that, try to read the Italian first, see how much I can understand, then read the english, go back and forth, it works!

8:31 am

JBV

yes, her artwork is beautiful! squirrel nutkin was one of my favorites

8:32 am

Scrabbler

I have many of her drawings framed and on walls in that room, along with a poster of Miss Potter herself, with a brief biography.

8:32 am

JBV

scrabbler, i think we could start a babble Beatrix Potter fan club

8:32 am

Scrabbler

More coffee for anyone? I am going into the kitchen.

8:32 am

Dorens

i'm not surprised scrabbler.. i do love her pictures... looking at the pages from the website jbv posted... i get lost in them

8:33 am

Scrabbler

May I be president of that club, JBV? In the past I had real bunnies named Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny. I miss them. Now I have Miss Bea (Beatrix Potter).

8:33 am

Dorens

yes to the coffee thanks... i just finished my last drop, but I probably should go for some actual food

8:33 am

JBV

voted by acclamation!

8:33 am

Dorens

agreed

8:34 am

JBV

doren, i still think it's amazing that you can everything online now - but I will still do a search for my book - nothing can replace the feel of those well-thumbed pages

8:35 am

JBV

*can find everything*

8:35 am

Scrabbler

I am a bibliophile!

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Here is the coffee!

8:36 am

Dorens

every so often i want a recipe from a cookbook, but haven't figured out how to find what i'm looking for --- and thanks for the coffee.. nice and warm

Yes, of course, JBV!

9:01 am

JBV

during the summer basement renovation project, I came across my mother's 50's chair/stool - you know the one, they're selling retro copies now - and moved it into the garage for future repair/rehabilitation

9:02 am

hurshy

aaaaaack! *runs screaming from gift stories*

9:02 am

JBV

then forgot about it, of course, in the flurry of the project

9:02 am

Scrabbler

*placing Hurshy on strait jacket and administering Haldol 10 mg IM*

9:02 am

JBV

then last night hubby comes in with a GIGANTIC box - he had the chair totally refurbished, new upholstery, cleaned the chrome, etc. ...... AND

9:03 am

Dorens

9:03 am

hurshy

Scrabbler

Nope, Hursh, some people are on all 3 meds or even more.

Dorens

I am going to have pancakes for breakfast--who would like some?

9:16 am

Dorens

aspragus, red onion and goat cheese.... want some?

9:16 am

Dorens

should i add sundried tomatoes?

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Le5 as in plural of Mr Walesa?

9:16 am

Dorens

i'll share scrabs... would like one pancake for dessert

9:16 am

hego

I'll have a pancake!

9:16 am

sukee

I just had some homemade potato latkas for breakfast...so I'm full

9:16 am

PinnyPoppins

add the tomato - it'll look festive

9:16 am

PinnyPoppins

a festive frittata

9:17 am

hego

Yum latkes

9:17 am

Dorens

that's what i thought pini... plus i love the flavor... but never have added them to omelets or frittatas before

9:17 am

Scrabbler

I bought a box of generic pancake mix at Aldi's and these are the best pancakes ever! Fluffy, delicious!

9:17 am

Dorens

i love latkes, but never had them for breakfast

9:17 am

JBV

sounds delicious, doren - enjoy

9:17 am

Scrabbler

*doing the halfway dance*

9:17 am

sukee

More work than I expected, but good

9:18 am

Dorens

i just heard a tip scrabbler, to add a tiny bit of vanilla extract to pancake batter..have you ever done that?

9:18 am

PinnyPoppins

i love latkes too, but aren't you about a week late for that treat...?

9:18 am

Dorens

latkes are always good... problem is that i can't stop eating them!!

9:18 am

Scrabbler

I started using vanilla soymilk, Doren. Maybe that is the secret.

9:18 am

sukee

I heard that if you add lemon juice to pancake batter it makes them fluffier

9:18 am

hego

never too late for latkes

9:18 am

Dorens

sounds about right

9:19 am

sukee

I can eat latkes any time :)

9:19 am

Dorens

oh lemon juice? that's a new one... don't know if i'd have the nerve to try it though

9:19 am

Scrabbler

"smore" is not accepted! Blasphemy!

9:19 am

Dorens

i used to eat latkes any time... back when i wasn't 30 pounds overweight

9:19 am

PinnyPoppins

it's just amusingly subversive to start christmas day with a chanukah food

9:19 am

sukee

I haven't tried it myself but had pancakes made with it last week

9:19 am

sukee

:)

9:20 am

Scrabbler

At 145/134 I must make the pancakes, clean the kitchen, then get going with lasagne prep!

9:20 am

I shall return here often!

It is a relatively easy, though long, grid. Not so many unusual words.

Merk

Have a wonderful holiday in whatever you do, everyone. I am snowbound at my daughter's house and we're hoping to use the Jeep to get my son's family picked up for dinner ... but the drifts are 3 foot deep in places between here and there.

10:08 am

Aloyisius

hi ruru

10:08 am

Merk

me 8 starts with the first 3 letters of the me 4,5 below it.

10:09 am

Merk

Then add the same vowel to those three letters.

10:09 am

Merk

End with two very common alternate spellings of words commonly seen here.

10:09 am

Aloyisius

ooh, good luck, Merk.. hope everyone can gather for dinner; hope the snow crews clear the roads for you

10:09 am

Merk

There are two me 8 words.

10:10 am

Merk

No, snow crews are doing all they can do to keep emergency routes to hospitals open. We both live on very secondary residential streets.

10:11 am

10:16 am

stidgmere

The Northwest to cloudy with a little blue sky beginning to appear. Winds calm and temperatures in mid-thirties. House cozy and turkey in the oven.

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, it is white here in the country, but Buffalo has little left.

10:17 am

rururocks

different vowell bernice

10:17 am

BerniceQ

ok

10:18 am

Merk

No, the fourth letter in both me 8 words is a vowel, the same vowel in both, but not the e.

10:18 am

Scrabbler

me8 clues went right over my head

10:19 am

vashongin

Scrabbler

I miss the it4 frequently!

10:28 am

BerniceQ

both SW8s build on words that add affixes

10:28 am

BerniceQ

one is like moonshine, and the other is the sound fabric makes when it blows in the wind

10:29 am

BerniceQ

any clue for the RE8?

10:29 am

Scrabbler

I have the moonshine word and am thinking of fabric sounds in the wind now

10:29 am

BerniceQ

S + make a **** on a star

10:30 am

Scrabbler

re8 = pl of re7 = chopped pickles placed on hot dogs

10:30 am

BerniceQ

10:30 am

Scrabbler

bichon

10:32 am

JenMO16

merry christmas everyone!

10:32 am

Scrabbler

2 me8's differ by 1 letter only, tough to clue

10:32 am

bichon

bothe me's sound like metals

10:32 am

Scrabbler

sc8 = crazier, nuttier, wackier

10:32 am

flosey

ty bichon

10:33 am

10:34 am

BerniceQ

10:35 am

bichon

rururocks

I am fine scrabs..sorry I missed the pancakes.

we can allquit any time we wanna. we just don' wanna. so there.

11:23 am

jmcnrick

exactly book

11:23 am

Book Doctor Gwen

clues are on the babblers anon page, second topic from the top, far right

11:23 am

rururocks

I think quitting cigarettes would be easier than babble

11:23 am

Dorens

nope. i've done both. quitting cigarettes is harrrrd

11:24 am

jmcnrick

interestingly enough a heroin addict that my husband was representing said it was easier to git up heroin than cigarettes

11:24 am

rururocks

plus those little green and yellow patches for your arm are ugly

11:24 am

sciencegeek

I could use a sw5 of something....

11:24 am

Dorens

i have a close friend who gave up both. he found heroin much much harder

11:25 am

Dorens

took him years... went to more detoxes and rehabs than you could imagine. when he finally decided to quit cigarettes... two years after he finally conquered dope.... he found it so simple

11:25 am

rururocks

heroin is a horrible drug

11:25 am

jmcnrick

interesting dorens -- i am just passing on what this guy said to me

11:26 am

Book Doctor Gwen

no drug (or puter game) affects two people the same way. and no drug is universally addictive

11:26 am

Dorens

no, i have heard it many times also... but watching him go through what he did, i see that heroin was impossible. cigarettes are hard to quit, but no comparison

11:26 am

jmcnrick

if heroin is not universally additive it comes pretty close

11:26 am

lynxxx

I have just given up cigs after 43 years - pretty easy actually

11:26 am

Book Doctor Gwen

my friend is a disabled vet and he is on medicianl heroin for pain. of course they don't call it heroin when it's from a doctor but it's still heroin

11:27 am

jmcnrick

whooo hooo lynxxx!!!!!

11:27 am

jmcnrick

happy dance!

11:27 am

Dorens

good for you lynxxx.
heroin, not methadone??

11:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

coming close is not universal! LOL

11:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

excellent, lynxxx!

11:27 am

rururocks

(grateful that lynxxx will now be around longer)

11:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

the difference between heroin and methodone is that one is a felony and the other is legal. it's the same drug

11:27 am

Dorens

if you do heroin enough times, i think it is eventually addictive... maybe not immediate

11:28 am

jmcnrick

my daddy gave up cigarettes after many decades almost over night and so gave me a unrealistic expectation for my poor hubby

11:28 am

lynxxx

what a sweet thing to say Ruru! lol

11:28 am

Enomis65

Aww smores is not a word in the dictionnary!

11:28 am

i thought heroin came from poppies and methadone came from chem. labs

he (my friend) was on methadone several times... found it helped a lot, but not as gratifying to him as heroin was... yet sometimes he did get a kind of high from it

11:33 am

Hey, just because you're an athiest, Ruru, doesn't mean you can't attend all the holiday parties.

11:34 am

too many DUI checkpoints here in the Valley Judi..I don't drive on New Years or Xmas

11:34 am

it does seem to have become an american holiday that doesn't always focus on the religious aspects

11:36 am

Dorens

oh jmc.. you're back from your nap on the keyboard?

11:36 am

dcseain

very muchso, dorens. i think mostly due to clever marketing by Coca-Cola a century ago

11:36 am

jmcnrick

thus the "he's the reason for the season" tree ornaments

11:36 am

I think it is a nice way to celebrate the end of the year with family and friends

11:41 am

LOL sorry that it's such a steep learning curve :)

11:41 am

Dorens

i was in germany once for christmas... the chrismas markets are phenomenal

11:42 am

gosh i just got an email stating that in 1645 parliment made it illegal to celebrate christmas as a form of idolatry!

11:42 am

sciencegeek

lol

11:42 am

after all it is a pagaen thing

11:43 am

I still haven't quite gotten that nack dc

11:43 am

dcseain

yes, the Commonwealth period was not good time in England

11:44 am

Judi

Wow. What a drag parliment was in 1645. Imagine they all died of the plague (and rightly so).

11:44 am

jmcnrick

well the quakers didn't celebrate it either

11:44 am

sciencegeek

why not?

11:44 am

dcseain

is mosies not the 3rd person singular of mosy? or am i spelling the word wrong?

11:44 am

Dorens

thought the same thing dc... but it apparently is moseys

11:45 am

dcseain

ah, ok, ty dorns

11:45 am

dcseain

ah, ok, ty dorens

11:45 am

jmcnrick

because it was based on a pagan holiday -- quakers didn't even use the names of the months or days of the week because of that -- used First Day for Sunday and First Month for January

11:45 am

Dorens

if you try to add it, the message is that moseys doesn't exist in the puzzle... ergo it does exist somewhere

11:45 am

Judi

Time for more coffee. Must counteract cold meds.

inge. don't leave u s... finishing is certainly not everything... we enjoy your company

3:05 pm

Dorens

stid. i got beatles rock band for david and jaime and i think they will love it... did you get it with the extra special edition, or just the software (that's what i ended up with, the latter)

3:06 pm

sprite

looks like italian, Shirlockc, for nothing.
ni + oldfashioned measure of length + vowel

3:07 pm

NonnieLight

Cool, dorens! Is there a Beatles Guitar Hero?

3:07 pm

stidmama

not sure the distinction, doren -- we got the whole kit -- guitar, mike and drums, with the basic set of songs (I think)

3:07 pm

stidmama

and it is really fun.

3:07 pm

stidmama

the guitar from rock band will work with guitar hero (and vice versa)

3:07 pm

stidmama

or so I am told

3:07 pm

stidmama

I really like playing the drums!!!!!

3:07 pm

NonnieLight

oh, I didn't know that!

3:07 pm

wht

ty sprite

3:08 pm

Dorens

called beatles rockband, but it seems like guitar hero... and so i figured since they have guitar hero, they don't need the extra sstuff. i once played guitar hero with them and it was hilarious

3:08 pm

Dorens

but the beatles.... i heard good things about this one, and i'm of that era.. so of course i think it must be the best

3:08 pm

stidmama

guitar hero only has guitar and vocal, no drums

3:08 pm

sprite

my son just got guitar hero!

3:08 pm

sprite

yvw wht

3:08 pm

Dorens

i think they may have gotten drums as an add=on at one time... i know i heard that jaime is a killer at the drums

3:09 pm

Shirlockc

thx sprite

3:09 pm

NonnieLight

I stink at Guitar Hero BUT it is fun to laugh at myself with the rest of the family.
