What is volunteer day?
5:27 am
uusue2

actually they call it NIU Cares Day - hundreds of student volunteers go out into the community and do good things, in teams (and pre-arranged with the sites). They had to sign up ahead of time, so I'll be part of the team checking them in. Then they get badges and shirts, get on buses, and head out.

What's growing out there Trif?
9:26 am
Trifioso

lets' see -- thorns, dead leaves, fallen branches from the winter that still need to get burned, and there is always the sprouting poison ivy to address
9:27 am
MollyL

Bonfire at Trif's tonight! I'll bring s'more makings.
9:28 am
Trifioso

LOL - bonfire, yes, assuming I can get it started, but not at night -- we have to burn between 9 am and 4 pm, and we only have until May 1st to do so....
9:28 am
Trifioso

and of course it has been drenching rain for WEEKS and they never give us extra time at the end, which really burns me up (see what I did there?)

I was in the chorus, in the orchestra pit. I was/still am not a public performer/speaker. And I the only musical talent I have is listening to music.
9:41 am

My daughters year have just finished a wonderful production of Mama Mia. It was terrific.
9:42 am
Scrabbler

So, I need to buy carrots, turnips, parsnips, potatoes, celery....what else shall go in my veggie soup?
9:42 am
Trifioso

bay leaf is always welcome
9:42 am
uusue2

onions and garlic, scrabs
9:43 am
uusue2

and some green or chili peppers if you want a little bite to it
9:43 am
Trifioso

and a bit of curry to keep it interesting
9:43 am
Scrabbler

Onions + garlic + peppers are not liked by my stomach.
9:43 am
Soodlebum

sweetcorn is lovely in soup as well
9:43 am
Nef

It is life, isn't it? (Just caught up on chog)
9:43 am
sadie52

gee i usually add whatever i have too much off or is in the frig to soup
9:44 am
Trifioso

ooooh, corn is a good one!
9:44 am
sadie52

thts it all this soup talk it is cold and miserable here today im making soup for dinner
9:44 am
Scrabbler

Simple cooking is as far as I go. Bay leaf, spices, seasonings = gourmet cooking in my mind.
9:44 am
sprite

it is, Nef. Don't let it get you down :)
9:44 am
Soodlebum

Hmm. Gives the soup a bit of a bite.
9:45 am
Nef

It is a good soup day. Scrabs, if you can't have onions, garlic and peppers, what herbs and spices do you use?
9:45 am
Scrabbler

I will get corn. Yellow will make the soup more artsy.
9:45 am
uusue2

what about tomatoes?
9:45 am
Scrabbler

Nef, I am into BASICS.
9:45 am
Nef

try some ginger as it enhances the flavor of everything else
9:46 am
Scrabbler

I usually add a can of crushed tomatoes.
9:46 am
uusue2

and if you're putting in turnips and parsnips you could throw in a rutabaga too
9:46 am
sadie52

tomatoes are alows good in veggie soup
9:46 am
sprite

oh a bit of ginger is lovely in chicken soup
9:46 am
sadie52

hmmm i never thought of ginger Ill have to add that next time i make it
9:46 am
Scrabbler

Rutabaga--I don't think I have ever eaten that but I have seen them at the store. They look like big balls of wax.
9:47 am
Trifioso

the best soup I ever had in my LIFE was in a chinese restaurant in boston that has since closed. shredded corn and chicken soup and it was HEAVEN
9:47 am
Nef

I always end up throwing beans and peas in veggie soup
9:47 am
Trifioso

it was a saddddddddd day when they shuttered
9:47 am
uusue2

yes, you have to scrape the wax off but once you do it's a little like turnips except milder
9:47 am
crosshair

crossy eyes his slow cooker....me thinks a chowder may be in order with a nice simple caeser salad.crusty itallian loaf and nice bottle of aussie white wine...
9:47 am
Nef

Rutabaga is wonderful in soup!
9:47 am
sadie52

so are turnips
9:47 am
sprite

how awful, Trif. Especially since they closed before you could beg the recipe out of them.
9:48 am
Trifioso

oh, speaking of shuttering, I heard this week that all my children and one life to live have both been cancelled, and I have to say, I was taken aback! I used to schedule my college classes around AMC, back in the days before VCRs and such...a real end of an era!
9:48 am
Scrabbler

*excited* A new adventure today with rutabaga! See how simple I am?
9:48 am
uusue2

yay, scrabs! A rutabaga adventure!
9:49 am
Trifioso

I don't think I could have begged the recipe out of them, sprite -- complete and utter language barrier in play
9:49 am
sprite

errrrr (feels total stranger now) cancelling all your children?
9:49 am
Scrabbler

Dear Diary, Today I sliced, cooked and ate a rutabaga!
9:49 am

it's a soap opera, sprite, one of the longest running
9:49 am

woot Scrabs, that is exciting :)
9:49 am

oh! Now I get it. So sorry.
9:49 am

My mother and sisters watched AMC back in the 80's. Not I.
9:50 am

probably what many of our world leaders write in their journals, scrabbler.....
9:50 am
uusue2

a couple of soap operas, sprite - daytime tv originally designed to appeal to women (back in the 1950s, probably)
9:50 am
Nef

We've used rutabagas in soups and also when mashing potatoes. I've even used them raw cut in strips for a veggie appetizer tray
9:50 am
Scrabbler

I lead a very simple and unsophisticated life here.
9:50 am
Trifioso

I haven't watched it in years, but even still, hearing that it is just going away was a stunner
9:50 am

I think the only soap I have followed is The Family Bellamy.
9:50 am

crossy just realized it has been a week or more since he has watched television,too many books to read,too much babble to do and all the news that fits is on the interwebs:)

crossy, btw, all three of my children have asked me "mom, would you like one of those kindle things for mother's day?".....that bodes well, I think!

9:52 am

9:52 am

then they can get e-books from the library
9:52 am
Trifioso

I did think of that, scrabbler, but it does not link up with the public library system near here
9:52 am
car.eeyore

Trif....I can make sure the Kindle thing happens if you would like...
9:52 am

you sound like a beautiful person to me, Scrabs

9:53 am

Bay leaf in soup must be a New England thing. I learned it from my Mom, who was from Boston.
9:53 am

Yeah...as I said...I can make it happen!
9:53 am
sprite

lol car.ee... wish you could make it happen for me too ;)
9:53 am

well at least with the others,you can download e-pub book files off the net,sorry the kindle is just a tad too proprietary for my liking
9:53 am

Molly, it is a family joke amongst us -- I ALWAYS get the bay leaf in my bowl....
9:53 am

Scrabs, so am I. It is my dream to live in a tiny cottage in or next to a forest.
9:54 am
Scrabbler

People can choke on the bay leaf.
9:54 am
Trifioso

hmmm. something to think about crossy. I use our public library a lot, and they don't have a link to the nook, just the kindle and one other one
9:54 am
car.eeyore

OK> I am going to target. Trif, shall I come and pick you up?
9:55 am
Scrabbler

Like The Shire, Sprite! A house built into a hill!
9:55 am
Trifioso

Yes, of course, you are supposed to take the bay leaf out. But everyone has gotten lazy about it, as it somehow ALWAYS ends up in my bowl, so I just do it. I expect it to be there....
9:55 am
sprite

ohhhh Scrabs, that would be heaven!
9:55 am
sprite

I'd love to have a round door as well

oh, that does sway the vote, there crossy.....
9:56 am
Nef

I always tie my bay leaf on a string (if it's large) or put it in a piece of cheese cloth to pull out when making soup
9:56 am
Trifioso

next time, I promise!
9:56 am
uusue2

lol, trif, I usually just make soup for myself so always leave the bay leaf in. I can handle getting it out when I eat the soup :-)

$5.20 a u.s gallon here today molly
10:08 am

It also makes me grateful that I'm not a person who has to drive all over town to keep myself occupied. Being a "homebody" is easy on the gas budget.
10:08 am
MollyL

I'm surprised. I thought gas was higher than that in Canada.
10:08 am

problem is the cost of everything else: if it is in a store,it got there on a truck;(

1:25 pm
LeslieAnn

ch 5/14 - ch*** pepper. there's another ch 5/14 in which you just swap the two last letters
1:26 pm
MollyL

That's funny. To me, the pepper word is slang for young one. As in "Honey ch5/14". It's a southern thing.
1:27 pm
Nef

never heard that one before, Molly
1:28 pm
Nef

so, does anyone need clues?
1:31 pm

2:39 pm
kje

2:40 pm

2:40 pm
kje

holy cow!!! they offer 1 cent shipping!!! wow
2:41 pm
kje

wow - unbelievable
2:41 pm
rururocks

Their pinots have gotten better too.

2:43 pm
rururocks

let me look
2:45 pm
rururocks

looks like the sampler @ $200 is a pretty good deal.
The Rose and the L'Ancienne Pinot are nice. You'll love the Gewurz.. the Chenin is Dry and would work with ham too
2:48 pm
kje

wi wat more tha 1 gewurzt so will make my own case... thanks, ru - you gave me lots of ideas
2:48 pm
kje

crap, my typing is getting worse
2:48 pm

will want is how that should have started
2:49 pm
kje

you should get a finders fee
2:50 pm
rururocks

I bought a case of the Henri Pelle.. it will bring tears to your eyes it is so good
2:50 pm
kje

since you did well with the kenefick, I will trust you on the gewurzt and order plenty this time
2:50 pm
kje

will check it out
2:51 pm
rururocks

2:51 pm
kje

do you order the pelle direct from them?
2:52 pm
rururocks

no.. I bought it from a retailer.
2:52 pm
rururocks

I would guess one of your bigger wine shops would carry it in Dallas.
2:52 pm
Dorens

qu'est-ce que c'est?
2:52 pm
rururocks

It is just like a great Sancerre for half the price
2:53 pm
kje

cool, will check for it
2:53 pm
rururocks

it's like $19.99 and waaaaay worth it
2:53 pm
Dorens

yes, yes? (sancerre being one of my preferred whites, now that i'm free from ken and his obsession with chardonnay)
2:54 pm
rururocks

I thought his obsession was you?
2:54 pm
kje

wine searcher says it isn't sold in tx - good lord
2:55 pm

2:56 pm
rururocks

damn
2:56 pm
kje

would't ship to the hospital - it goes to receivig ad sits there for too long
2:57 pm
rururocks

He makes three wines. Morogues is the least expensive.. Clos Blanchais is the old vine and incredible btu pricier @ $30 and the Ratier which is more and too earthy for my taste.
2:57 pm
kje

I want some wine so good i cry now... see what you have started
2:57 pm
Dorens

all this talk about wine is fascinating, but when i feel like this i don't drink either
3:44 pm
pam

It has been bad. And i have an earache today, so I know sinusitis is afoot. Dang.
3:44 pm
Dorens

is there any decongestant that helps you?
3:45 pm
pam

Yes, I am lucky, Dor. And I don't do the "go to the doc and ask for meds thing" unless the earache lasts. I know the drill and prefer whole patient/holistic approaches,
3:47 pm
Dorens

totally understand... so this cough i had for a week or so,, i just did what i know i should do, and then finally on wednesday i succumbed and went to the doc and it is supposedly bronchitis.... except i don't seem to have responded to the antibiotics at all
3:50 pm
pam

Yep, exactly, though I am sorry you're not feeling better. My previous doctor "scrapped" all that others before him had me doing and my world improved. I still get the headaches, mind you, but he also told me how to take the meds he prescribed for that pain.

As for allergies, etc, he was wonderful. No combined products, antihistamine at night, controlled release decongestant in the morning, flonase, and benadryl as needed. And, I irrigate my sinuses regularly. I am a new woman. Oh, and I used to have chronic headaches. Now, i have days on end without head pain!

then when we moved to long island, we split season tickets to the islanders with another resident.. denis potvin, bryan trottier. i went into labor at a game. (yes, bernie parent... great goalie)

Hi Sue. I got my rutabaga--it looks like a huge candle.

It's the size of a grapefruit.

4:05 pm

scsrabbs.. did you check out rutabaga.com?
4:06 pm
Soodlebum

Jeepers, that pic on wiki looks just like what i call a turnip. I have never heard of rutabaga in my life.
4:06 pm
Dorens

rutabagas are called swedes where you live soodie,?
4:07 pm
Scrabbler

Look at that, Doren!! A paddling web site!!
4:07 pm

I've heard of rutabaga but it sounds like it should be on the road along with Winnebagos.
4:07 pm
Dorens

think it was meant to be!
4:07 pm
uusue2

hi, scrabs, the rutabaga will give a flavor to the soup similar to the turnips. Just make sure you get all the wax off (they do look kind of like big candles!)
4:07 pm
uusue2

they are very much like large turnips, soodle
4:07 pm
Soodlebum

I'm not sure, Dorens. But looking at the picture, it looks exactly like a turnip.

That shop is in Wisconsin---Swedish immigrant haven.

If it smells like a turnip while cooking, be sure to leave a window open. Hello!
4:08 pm

But then, I don't know the difference between a turnip and a swede.... (Is there a difference?)
4:08 pm
Scrabbler

Hi Haz
4:08 pm
Good Enough

Good Afternoon :)
4:08 pm
uusue2

from Texas A&M: The rutabaga is very similar to the turnip except that it generally has yellowish flesh, a more dense root with more side shoots and they are usually harvested at a larger size. Unlike the turnip, the rutabaga has smooth, waxy leaves.
4:08 pm
Soodlebum

Hello Haz. Unusual to see you here this time of evening :-)
4:09 pm
Scrabbler

Rutabaga = Swedish turnip.
4:09 pm
Haz1558

Swedes have paler flesh than turnip.
4:09 pm

Hi GE

swedish word for rootbag - rutabaga

lol again, scrabbler! I don't know why they are always sold encased in wax.

but anyway it is the same family as the turnip, just a different species, so shouldn't be too different.

I miss the latin sometimes: gregorian chant: Dies Irae
4:50 pm
BabbleRabble

How powerful suggestions are. At the mental health site I go to, many were triggered by Dies Irae. They were concerned if they let go to haunting sounds they would not be able to escape from them .. much like the work of the sirens
4:52 pm
BabbleRabble

Perhaps Verdi's Dies Irae Solti would be a better choice?
4:53 pm

I suppose it it untoward for a babble to babble while at babble
4:54 pm
Soodlebum

Its incredible how powerful music can be. And not just classsical music. I believe music has the power to uplift or depress a person.
4:57 pm
Soodlebum

I am breaking a confidence here, BR, but at a recent (secret) meeting of the Babbles Rules Committee, it was (secretly) decided to allow Babblers to babble at will. So you're not untoward at all.

In fact - Babble away!

Hello to all ch 4/7s and ch 5/14s! I am done with grid so I will give you some hi4/5s with a story of clues to help you hu 4/6 for words. So last week my computer starting wigging out. I thought it was very ee5/10. I continued to use my computer even though I kept on getting pop-up warnings. Finally, laptop went ph 4/7 and died. It was a very cr6/24 event for me because I couldn't babble.After making some qu7/40 about my computer's behavior, I was told that computer had a virus.My hubby heard my cr 5/12 of sorrow when my computer died. Although Babble ir 4/4 him, he knows how much Babble en6/24es my life & felt bad that my computer was broken. I asked for my hubby's in 5/14 on what we should do about computer laptop. Should we buy a new one or get it fixed. Hubby reminded me that we are not ri4/6 and can't afford a new one. He suggested we hi 4/5 our ni 4/5 friend who would not charge a lot to fix it. So that is what we did & laptop is working like new again. I am going to ri 4/4 out of this chair and see what I can watch on my tv sc6/21 I hope that you've se 4/4 some more words with this story. I will be back later to clue if people need clues.

Hi Molly. mostly on principle. best buy is not into customer service. they charge you for returning anything, and they are just mean. Where they have great products, they lose it on customer service. NEVER BUY A COMPUTER FROM THEM!

costco is good, kinda pricy

7:18 pm
MollyL

I did the same break run earlier. Beer and Chinese food.
7:18 pm
EvaNadine

mmmmm......i woulda liked some chinese takeout.
7:19 pm
redturtlehead

Oh I love Chinese, had Turke meatball sand spaghetti and basil pesto.
7:19 pm
EvaNadine

i wanted to get Ben + Jerry's new Late Night Snack flavor, but alas, the whole Ben + Jerry's section was picked over.
7:19 pm
MollyL

I made soup for lunch so I cut myself a break on cooking dinner.
7:19 pm
EvaNadine

instead, i brough home Haagen Dazs' Sweet Chai Latte, which is quite tasty!
7:19 pm
redturtlehead

I just tried Hannah Teeters Blonde Brownie. would have been perfect without the blonde brownie in it!!!
7:20 pm
EvaNadine

we just had chicken nuggets + tater tots for dinner...heh
7:20 pm
MollyL

I had to Google that Ben & Jerry's. POTATO CHIPS IN ICE CREAM????
7:21 pm
EvaNadine

that ice cream run was the only time i left the house today. and even THAT was a challenging decision...heh
i went in my PJs. :)
7:21 pm
EvaNadine

i know, molly. doesnt it sound perfect??
7:21 pm
redturtlehead

wow that sound syum, but...hard to keep crisp!
7:21 pm
EvaNadine

they are coated in fudge, or something...they dont get soggy!
7:22 pm
redturtlehead

oh now, that does not sound good. I do not like chocolate very much.
7:23 pm
MollyL

I have yet to jump on the sweet & salty bandwagon. I like sweet after salty (as in Rasinettes after popcorn). But not together. Like my friend does. She puts her Raisinetted IN her popcorn.
7:24 pm
redturtlehead

and fireworks. strange.
7:24 pm
lbdawger

whoooo hoooooo RED!!
7:24 pm
EvaNadine

they also have a new Red Velvet Cake flavor and something along the lines of Fluffernutter
7:25 pm
MollyL

Oh wow, the New England folks will devour the Fluffernutter stuff. That is big eats up that way.
7:25 pm
EvaNadine

i think its called Clusterfluff
7:25 pm
lbdawger

fluffernutter? fluffy peanutbutter?
7:26 pm
MollyL

*Still trying to picture stylish Eva in Safeway in her PJs*
7:26 pm
EvaNadine

fluffernutter is marshmallow fluff
7:26 pm
lbdawger

ugh. don't fond of marshmallows in any form
7:26 pm
EvaNadine

molly -- i actually swapped out my PJ pants. the ones i was wearing were too long + would drag along the wet ground, so i changed into my owl-print PJ pants. ;)
7:26 pm
MollyL

Well, technically, Fluffernutter is a marshmallow fluff, peanut butter and banana sandwich.
7:27 pm
MollyL

Eva, did you wear the orange wedding shoes with the owl pants?
7:28 pm
EvaNadine

no, i was sporting my grass-green chuck taylors. they matched my grass-green hoodie. :)
7:30 pm
MollyL

Green Chucks and owl pants. The Post's Style section photographer is going to be so sorry she missed that.
7:31 pm
EvaNadine

i also may have neglected to brush my hair or my teeth today...but hubby was kinda enough to "toussle" my locks for me...
i *MAY* have looked minorly homeless. ;)
7:34 pm
EvaNadine

...and i think that one drove them away...
7:36 pm
jesdraggon

evening. swinging through to see if anybody needs clues
7:37 pm
EvaNadine

sorry jes, i think i frightened them all off...
7:38 pm
jesdraggon

heh. i don't think you're that scary, eva
7:39 pm
EvaNadine

i dunno, jes. i didnt brush my hair or teeth today, and i ventured to the grocery store in my PJs. im fancy. ;)
7:40 pm
MollyL

Nope, not driven away. Making popcorn for my son.
7:42 pm
redturtlehead

I have had the cluster fluff, I bough ti twice. It is good, but not as good as reeses ice cream.
7:42 pm
jesdraggon

that's pretty par for the course around here.
7:42 pm
EvaNadine

im eagerly awaiting the Late Night Snack.
7:42 pm
jesdraggon

if i ran away everytime i saw someone looking mussed in public, i'd never leave the house :)
7:43 pm
MollyL

My kids like the Reeses Klondike ice cream treats.
7:43 pm
EvaNadine

hubby also bought some choco tacos. i dont even remember the last time i had one of those...
and we also got some drumsticks.
(we may have gone shopping when we were hungry for sweets)
7:44 pm
MollyL

My weekend attire on rainy days like today is sweats and over size shirt and a ponytail. I do take pity on the general public and put some makeup on though.
7:45 pm
MollyL

*Wonders if Mr. and Mrs. Eva spent the afternoon rockin' the gange* : P
7:45 pm
EvaNadine

were i to actually go out for more than an ice cream run, i would have cleaned up. but i was arguing with myself about whether i even wanted to venture out for that!
7:45 pm
EvaNadine

LMAO.
not i, molly. it is not my past-time of choice.
7:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, gonna babble for 15 minutes then fly
7:47 pm
EvaNadine

BDG is going to "Exterminate" this grid!
7:48 pm
jesdraggon

choco taco?
7:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!!//////
7:49 pm
EvaNadine

jes -- think of it as a taco shell (made out of waffle cone) filled with ice cream + the whole thing is dipped in chocolate
7:50 pm
MollyL

Choco taco ----> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choco_Tac
o
7:50 pm
MollyL

<----Feels bad for Jes that she's never had a Choco Taco.
7:51 pm
MollyL

My go to ice cream treat these days are the mini Doves. Just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and only 60 calories.
7:52 pm
EvaNadine

molly, have you ever been to Breuster's? i think it is in Gaithersburg, near Lake Forest mall?
7:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

and my phantom of the day is crisis
7:53 pm
jesdraggon

i. wow. i had no idea that existed. bruce is also surprised by my lack of knowledge.
7:56 pm
MollyL

Never been Eva. Good ice cream?
7:56 pm
MollyL

Oh Gwen, you are so close to a word there.
7:56 pm
EvaNadine

i havent been myself, just recently heard of it.
but my friend went up there, and said it is amazing!
7:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

upchic? LOLOL
7:58 pm
MollyL

No Gwen, with your phantom. You are only one letter off.
7:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

chinup???? grrrrr, not seeing it!
8:00 pm
jesdraggon

upchic does contain a valid word though...
8:00 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yup, got that one. don't have anything close to crisis, though
8:01 pm
MollyL

Eva, I checked out the web site. It's Brusters, and it looks awesome. Also, you missed the boat. March 26th was come in your pajamas day.
8:01 pm
EvaNadine

heh, i know. i was unable to make it that day.
alas, it is only once a year.
8:03 pm
tedybeth

oh my goodness .... chocolate tacos!!!! heaven - but too far from Orlando to get there tonight
8:04 pm
jesdraggon

the cr6/24, gwen, is not quite a palindrome.
8:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

oooh, TY, got it!
8:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

(adding to my collection of goofy words)
8:10 pm
jesdraggon

most of the words are not too bad, that was a new one for me, and the sc5 and 6 are yiddish, which makes them difficult for me, since i persist in looking for english words...
8:12 pm
uusue2

Evening, all! I finished earlier but stopped in to say hi.
8:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hiya sue, you uu!
8:13 pm
uusue2

Hi, gwen!
8:14 pm
jesdraggon

hi sue
8:14 pm
uusue2

Hi, Jes!
8:15 pm
MollyL

Hi Sue, feeling better?
8:17 pm
uusue2

Not a lot, Molly, so I am resting. Watched part of les miz, which was awesome.
8:19 pm
uusue2

Now watching House and trying to convince my partner that I need dinner :-)
8:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

house!!!
8:20 pm
jesdraggon

trying to convince them that you need dinner, or that they should make it for you?
8:21 pm
uusue2

Trying to convince him to make it, which he just set off to do. Spaghetti, I hear.
8:22 pm
jesdraggon

yay! spagetti! :)
8:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

mmmmm
8:23 pm
uusue2

Gluten free of course, but he puts lots of tasty things in the sauce.
8:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

gluten-free spaghetti? is that as bad as 2% milk?
8:25 pm
stidmama

mmm. brown rice (with rice bran) pasta... It's yummy!
8:25 pm
stidmama

hey all
8:25 pm
MollyL

<---- Loves the idea that Sue is being pampered.
8:25 pm
uusue2

They make some pretty good rice spaghetti now, gwen
8:25 pm
jesdraggon

i got taco salad for dinner, courtesy of bruce :)
8:25 pm
stidmama

stidkid # 2 is making me popcorn... *grin*
8:25 pm
uusue2

Hi, stid!
8:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

never had no pasta made outta rice, but i like rice and pasta, so i guess i would like that
8:26 pm
jesdraggon

are tortilla chips gluten free?
8:26 pm
uusue2

Popcorn and tacos salad both sound good too
8:26 pm
lbdawger

hi stid, gwen, UU, Jes
8:26 pm
stidmama

tinkyada is the rice pasta brain sold by the local co-op, but there are a couple other nice brands too. Corn pasta never tastes right to me, so we just don't even try that any more
8:26 pm
stidmama

hey LBD
8:27 pm
stidmama

jes, if they don't say gluten free you can't be sure.
8:27 pm
uusue2

They can be, Jes, but we have to read the labels carefully
8:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i bet corn pasta is too goopy-gloppy
8:28 pm
uusue2

He is sensitive to even trace amounts of gluten.
8:28 pm
jesdraggon

hmm. well you are welcome to some taco salad, but he may want to skip the chips then ;)
8:28 pm
stidmama

it is for me, gwen, doesn't seem to matter how carefully I watch the time.
8:29 pm
uusue2

The rice pasta has a pretty good texture.
8:29 pm
MollyL

Stidkid is sweet to be making his Mom some popcorn.
8:29 pm
jesdraggon

oh, stid, how's the kid's graduation prospects?
8:29 pm
lbdawger

can you eat soba noodles?
8:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

ponder rice chex and corn chex. i prefer rice chex over corn chex 1,000,000 to one, because rice chex doesn't get all goopy
8:30 pm
stidmama

stidkid did, however, make the regulation "put-out adolescent" face, so he didn't actually go against the teenager code
8:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

thus i infer that rice pasta would be superior to corn pasta
8:30 pm
MollyL

That's in the kid contract Stid.
8:30 pm
uusue2

If they are pure bucket then yes, lbd, but I think most of them aegis not.
8:31 pm
uusue2

Drat spell check.
8:31 pm
MollyL

Sue, are you speaking words of English?
8:31 pm
stidmama

no idea on the kid's graduation jes -- he re-read the directions and resubmitted (again). BUT he didn't have a more experienced person look it over, and I don't even know if it was done in time
8:31 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

(on another subject) i thought i saw your husband drive by the other day, but the vanity plate said stig dad, not stid dad
8:32 pm
stidmama

rofl gwen! that's too funny!
8:32 pm
uusue2

Buckwheat. And are not. Don't know where the aegis came from.
8:33 pm
uusue2

I am on my fancy new Android phone and it is thinking too hard.
8:33 pm
MollyL

Maybe you are typing in tongues Sue. : P
8:33 pm
jesdraggon

would that be thumbs, molly?
8:33 pm
uusue2

And here I thought I was using my finger
8:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

aegis is english, but with latin holes in it
8:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

NBT finally!!!!
8:34 pm
stidmama

go gwen go!
8:35 pm
uusue2

Yay gwen!
8:35 pm
lbdawger

go gwen!
8:37 pm
jesdraggon

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
8:38 pm
uusue2

Lol, jes!
8:38 pm
stidmama

jes! that's brilliant!
8:39 pm
MollyL

I still have a problem with "tomato is a fruit". If something that contains seeds is a fruit, then beans, cucumbers and pumpkins are also fruits.
8:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i concur!! LOL
8:40 pm
MollyL

And green peppers.
8:40 pm
uusue2

Anyway I am going crosseyed looking at this little screen and am going to sign off. See you all later!
8:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

! * F * I * R * E * W * O * R * D * S * !
8:42 pm
jesdraggon

peppers ARE fruit, molly. pumkins are not, because they are gourds.
8:42 pm
jesdraggon

yay gwen!
8:42 pm
jesdraggon

bye, sue, have a good night
8:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

uh oh, sue has to go to the penalty box!! LOL
8:43 pm
stidmama

YAY gwen!
8:43 pm
MollyL

What about cucumbers and beans?
8:43 pm
jesdraggon

cucumbers, despite not having a heavy rind, are also gourds.
8:44 pm
jesdraggon

what kind of beans do you mean? green beans?
8:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

beans do not belong in salad. or soup. or anything i am going to eat. (!)
8:44 pm
jesdraggon

i concur, gwen!
8:44 pm
MollyL

Yes, green beans. They have seeds in them.
8:45 pm
jesdraggon

i dunno. i'll have to look it up.
8:46 pm
MollyL

It's okay Jes. In my world, tomatoes, green beans, peppers and cucumbers are all vegetables. Seeds or no seeds.
8:46 pm
jesdraggon

well, wiki says they are fruits..."the unripe fruit of any kind of bean, including the yardlong bean, the hyacinth bean, the winged bean, and especially the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), whose pods are also usually called string beans in the northeastern United States, but can also be called snap beans."
8:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

and no GD chili powder either. bleeeeeeeccchhh!!
8:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

human invent silly categories then argue about what goes in which category. seriously, the tomato doesn't care if you call it a fruit
8:47 pm
jesdraggon

i dunno if wiki is the best place to get botanical info, but it was convenient :)
8:47 pm
jesdraggon

and i'm not putting green beans in fruit salad either!
8:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

nature doesn't care if you call a gourd a fruit either
8:47 pm
MollyL

And then there are bananas, with no seeds in them, that are called fruit. Go figure.
8:48 pm
jesdraggon

bananas have seeds, they're just very small. i think. don't they?
8:48 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

bananas *do* have seeds in them. except seedless bananas of course, which are a product of artificial selection
8:48 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

seedless grapes are still grapes and they're still fruit
8:50 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

talking of artifical categories, i have invented a season, since we only have four and we need five. the new one is called Thaw and it lasts about 2 months between winter and spring
8:50 pm
jesdraggon

"In cultivated varieties, the seeds are diminished nearly to non-existence; their remnants are tiny black specks in the interior of the fruit. "
8:51 pm
MollyL

Shame. All those poor people who think they are growing a vegetable gardens, when really they are growing fruit gardens.
8:51 pm
jesdraggon

heheh
8:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

then we can argue over what is an herb and what is a spice. (NOOOOO!!!!!) LOL
8:51 pm
jesdraggon

now i know how to get out of eating beans though... "eat your vegetables!" "but ma, that's a FRUIT"
8:52 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

*snicker*
9:01 pm
Jacula

It is well known that putting a bit of sugar on tomato brings out the flavour. Therefore, a tomato IS a fruit. LOL
9:01 pm
Jacula

Hi folks.
9:03 pm
Jacula

jes - what'a wrong with eating beans, unless you are allergic to them (as my daughter is)? I love my runner beans, freshly picked and cooked.
9:04 pm
Jacula

kidney beans of all colours are really nice, too.
9:07 pm
jesdraggon

i dislike the taste
9:08 pm
jesdraggon

you're welcome to them if you like them.
9:09 pm
Jacula

What, of all types of bean?
9:12 pm
jesdraggon

pretty much, yeah
9:12 pm
jesdraggon

weirdly, i rather like lentils though.
9:13 pm
Jacula

LOL

9:17 pm

corn, potato (though people will argue if that's a veg)
9:17 pm
Uneaixoise

howdy, dawg :-)
9:18 pm
jesdraggon

most of the leafy greens, though not terribly fond of spinach.
9:18 pm
jesdraggon

broccoli in some circumstances--boiled and soggy is NOT one of those circumstances
9:18 pm
jesdraggon

carrots, how did i forget carrots?!
9:19 pm
jesdraggon

fresh green peas--but really, fresh/raw is the only way to go with green peas
9:19 pm
jesdraggon

was recently introduced to cauliflower chopped fine and fried with couscous, that was pretty good.
9:20 pm
jesdraggon

sweet potatoes, turnips.. heh. i guess i like root veggies :)
9:20 pm
Jacula

Jes -I wonder if you have been wrong-footed by over-boiled, soggy vegetables in yur childhood?
9:21 pm
Jacula

Excuse the short absences from here. I am playing a word game elesewhere with Scrabbler Periwinkle.
9:23 pm
jesdraggon

no, i have made an effort recently to re-try a lot of things i disliked as a kid. green beans, for instance--the last time i had them was less than a month ago, lightly steamed, with butter and lemon juice, and if THAT doesn't make me like them, i am just not going to like them
9:25 pm
Jacula

Well, maybenot, Jes, but lemon isn't the best thing to de-iron the taste of beans.
9:27 pm
jesdraggon

the whole bit where i'll eat broccoli and cauliflower is pretty recent, actually. as a kid, i was pretty determinedly a corn, mashed potatoes, and raw carrots only veggie eater
9:28 pm
Jacula

Speaking of fresh peas, I do hope the mouse population in my garden isn't going to eat all the peas before we can harvest them. I am considering cementing our cat's feet into the pea-growing pot. Well, he likes to catch and eat mice, mice like to eat peas, and I need the cat to be on 24-hour duty. LOL
9:30 pm
Jacula

The last thing I made an effort to try again, a food I had hated as a child, was oxtail soup. Guess what? I still hate it.
9:30 pm
Jacula

*cats, not cat's!
9:34 pm
jesdraggon

really? bruce made oxtail last winter and it was delicious.
9:38 pm
Jacula

Yes, can't stand it.

Hello to all ch 4/7s and ch 5/14s! I am done with grid so I will give you some hi4/5s with a story of clues to help you hu 4/6 for words. So last week my computer starting wigging out. I thought it was very ee5/10. I continued to use my computer even though I kept on getting pop-up warnings. Finally, laptop went ph 4/7 and died. It was a very cr6/24 event for me because I couldn't babble.After making some qu7/40 about my computer's behavior, I was told that computer had a virus.My hubby heard my cr 5/12 of sorrow when my computer died. Although Babble ir 4/4 him, he knows how much Babble en6/24es my life & felt bad that my computer was broken. I asked for my hubby's in 5/14 on what we should do about computer laptop. Should we buy a new one or get it fixed. Hubby reminded me that we are not ri4/6 and can't afford a new one. He suggested we hi 4/5 our ni 4/5 friend who would not charge a lot to fix it. So that is what we did & laptop is working like new again. I am going to ri 4/4 out of this chair and see what I can watch on my tv sc6/21 I hope that you've se 4/4 some more words with this story. I will be back later to clue if people need clues.
