How are you Jilli?

12:40 am

our oldest daughter moved to Seattle to get away from the snow...surprise !

12:42 am

flosey

oh heck! thanks melon

12:42 am

jillibus

ROFL west!

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

harrumph! it is about time feely be accepted as a word.

12:42 am

jillibus

at least it won't last, west

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

no prob, flosey

12:43 am

m9f9l

I don't think of Seattle as a place to go to to get away from the snow. True, they don't have snow often.. but if you're replacing snow, why replace it with wet?LOL

12:43 am

swmbo

So, getting back to the Yiddish word, any clues???

12:43 am

flosey

so finally, nbt & nbs

12:43 am

rururocks

12:43 am

rururocks

laze around sh 5

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

m9, CLE had record rainfall by 11" this year. If we had better coffee and skeezier bands WE could be Seattle.

12:44 am

westford

Ruby has a guy who does that for her

12:44 am

m9f9l

quick nbt

12:44 am

swmbo

Got it! THANKS!

12:44 am

westford

wtg m

12:45 am

rururocks

does what for her?

12:45 am

sammysmom

is ther yiddish word- to carry around unwillingly?

12:45 am

m9f9l

but you have thin chili on spaghetti. right?

12:45 am

westford

he sh5/14

12:45 am

jillibus

I'm confused -- is the Yiddish word su or sh?

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

that would be Cincinnati.

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

yiddish is sh, my icon is su

12:45 am

westford

I think he does it willingly though

12:46 am

rururocks

sh jilli

12:46 am

m9f9l

yeah I know. so what does CLE have??

12:46 am

swmbo

I think I got your icon melonhead, very apt!!!

12:46 am

jillibus

ok, ty melon, got them finally

12:46 am

jillibus

and ty rurutoo

12:46 am

m9f9l

I lived in Cincy.. everyone raved about skyline chili. I just don't get it I guess.

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

but they did open a Skyline in Cleveland. I got my MM at UC, where I learned to eat 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way chili. 4-way was my fave.

12:47 am

jillibus

I keep seeing flesh (no, ruru, not really)

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

It's the spices, m9. Allspice, clove, and the beef is ground super fine and not browned. The spaghetti was regular (not thin) if I recall.

12:47 am

jillibus

so what are those numbered chilis?

12:48 am

jillibus

O, I C

12:48 am

sammysmom

i ma a cjili- hater... have made it at least once a month for the last 55 years though and they all like it.. i can tell its ok by the smell.. my kids were in their thirties before they r4ealised that i never ate it

12:48 am

m9f9l

I actually thought it was rather disgusting.

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

3-way = chili over spachetti + raw chopped onion, 4-way = that + cheese, and you add beans to make it 5-way.

12:49 am

westford

oh my goodness

12:49 am

jillibus

Hmm -- those chilis sound weird

12:49 am

rururocks

*covers up for jilli*

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

I used to joke that I was going to open a borsht parlor, 3-way is with sour cream, 4-way + egg, 5-way, all that + cucumber. Nobody thought it would fly.

12:49 am

swmbo

I do not like chilli OR spaghetti, I do not like them Sam I am

12:50 am

m9f9l

I think that sounds nummy!! I'd go to a borsht parlor!

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

they're different all right, jilli (the Cinci chilis). Very local.

12:50 am

westford

now I could go for the borsht

12:50 am

rururocks

gosh.. it's been a long time since I've had a 3 way

12:50 am

m9f9l

there was a russian place across from my work when I lived in Seattle. Lovely perogi (or however you spell it)

12:50 am

westford

open it up and I'll be there

12:50 am

rururocks

chili.. that is

12:50 am

jillibus

borsht is goood

12:51 am

m9f9l

Ru couldn't resist, could ya?

12:51 am

westford

not for nothing..seattle is in the grid

12:51 am

rururocks

:D

12:51 am

jillibus

I keep trying to like perogies, but haven't succeeded yet.

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

my borsht is good. I roast the beet bottoms, make broth with the greens. dice the bottoms and add to the broth, season with salt, sugar, and something sour(lemon juice, vinegar, or my preferred sour salt (citric acid))

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

so it is!

12:51 am

m9f9l

how about bao jilli?

12:51 am

ARB

Hey There Melon -- send me that recipe.

12:51 am

jillibus

oh yum, melon!

12:51 am

m9f9l

whoot! You're right. cool

12:51 am

rururocks

perogies are too greasy to me

12:52 am

jillibus

hi arb

12:52 am

jillibus

bao?

12:52 am

ARB

Shalom Everyone.

12:52 am

m9f9l

chinese steamed buns with filling

12:52 am

flosey

hi ARB

12:52 am

rururocks

look who sh5'd in

12:52 am

westford

hello ARB

12:53 am

ARB

What a welcome!

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

Shalom ARB! I'm about to hit the hay, working girl that I am these days.

12:53 am

m9f9l

hi

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

m9 I love steamed sweet bean buns (and I love to say that 3 times fast;)

12:54 am

rururocks

I just love buns in general

12:54 am

ARB

So, laila tov, Melon. Do send me the recipe when you have time.

12:54 am

jillibus

never had baos, m9 -- for shame!

12:54 am

m9f9l

Whenever we go to the Portland area we go to Uwajimaya and hope they have purple yam bao.

12:55 am

jillibus

here he goes...

12:55 am

m9f9l

I'm sure you do Ru.

12:55 am

rururocks

I would think if you steamed buns it would be hard for the person to sit for a while

12:55 am

sammysmom

swmbo.. spaghetti is another matter... i am the pasta queen of the heights.. can make it at least 50 different eays.. probably a hundred-lol

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

borsht? I don't do a recipe, but look down the chat log. Beets, bottoms roasted, tops made into broth, dice the bottoms, season salt, sugr, and citric acid (sour salt). Dill weed. Sour cream. don't wear your best white outfit when eating.

12:56 am

jillibus

hi smom

12:56 am

sammysmom

hi hil.. hows the ankle?

12:56 am

sammysmom

jil

12:56 am

m9f9l

yeah.. that's the way I cook too.

12:56 am

swmbo

I make what I am told is great spaghetti, I just don't much like anything with pasta, weird, eh?

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

sammysmom, do you ever go to Geracis? They are down the street from me.

12:57 am

ARB

Todah

12:57 am

jillibus

ankle's aching just now, darnit.

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

b'vakashah!

12:57 am

m9f9l

My daughter makes a wonderful summer soup, root vegetables and kielbasa she cooks the beets separately and then adds them in.

12:57 am

sammysmom

like geraci's........ but we are so used to our own cooking that we dont get take out much... they are pretty good though

12:58 am

melonheadjujube

Same here, sometimes I just don't want to cook. I love that you can get a side of sauteed mushrooms there.

12:58 am

melonheadjujube

OK, now to bed. laila tov, all. {poof}

12:58 am

westford

12:59 am

sammysmom

ty mo

8:29 am

NM

8:29 am

Mom

I guess I've never considered that ending as an adjective form. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

8:30 am

Mom

and plural the ty 6 for the 8

8:30 am

FishFishGarden

wonder why you can't plural the ty7 the same way

8:31 am

hego

it's an adjective, I think

8:31 am

cybernan

I think both ty 7's are adjectives

8:32 am

hego

there are 2?

8:32 am

hego

Hmmm....

8:34 am

MollyL

I wouldn't know Nan, I can't find a definition for either one of them.

MollyL

Fair warning though. There will be none of this "point watching" or "calorie counting" at the toga party. Debauchery has nothing to do with self-discipline.

hego

1:53 pm

EvaNadine

2:08 pm

Glantarell

that's good. I am the other way round, I was hoping to move tomorrow but all the legal stuff didn;t come together as hoped, so fingers crossed for next weekend

2:09 pm

Glantarell

so sad what the media did to him

5:29 pm

MollyL

Cos, how are you doing on quitting smoking? (Hopes she didn't hit a sore spot)

5:29 pm

MollyL

Rbud, that is an awesome video. Three of the best at the blues.

5:29 pm

cosdem

5:29 pm

cosdem

1/2 a pack a day now.

5:30 pm

westford

are you switching brands cos?

5:30 pm

cosdem

yes its awful what the media did. he would have made one heck of a President.

5:30 pm

MollyL

Good for you Cos. Cutting down is good for you.

5:30 pm

cosdem

no. I tried to switch to a cheaper brand but it just made me want to smoke more because it doesnt last as long

5:30 pm

westford

also it helps to pick a room you won't smoke in

5:31 pm

cosdem

i need to try that. i keep forgetting. i shld have a rule no smoking in my bedroom since i spend most of my time in the bedroom lol

5:31 pm

rbud

switch to Swisher Sweets, in no time you'll have walking pneumonia like I did, and really wanna quit like I did back then.

5:31 pm

westford

what are those rbud?

5:31 pm

MollyL

Oh Gack rbud, no wonder

5:31 pm

rbud

5:32 pm

cosdem

oh i smoked these before cigs years ago..

5:32 pm

cosdem

i likd the banana ones lol

5:32 pm

MollyL

<---One of the few people who likes the smell of cigar smoke

5:32 pm

westford

good rule is no smoking 10, then 20, then 30 minutes after eating or drinking

5:32 pm

cosdem

but thats actually a good idea. i should switch to these.. they make me smoke a lot less....

5:32 pm

rbud

"they" say cigarette smokers can't do cigars, because the instinct is to inhale, and cigars aren't meant to be - just puffed

5:32 pm

cosdem

and its cheaper than a pack of camels

5:32 pm

westford

me too Molly my grandpa smoked them

5:32 pm

rbud

thus pneumonia...

5:33 pm

magazinemom

5:34 pm

westford

5:35 pm

MollyL

Cos the other thing I have heard is delay your first of the day five minutes, then ten, and so on

5:35 pm

MollyL

It's gradually breaking your connection with "smoke time"

5:35 pm

cosdem

5:35 pm

My son started by not smoking at work, then in the car and slowly eliminated all places he smoked. He says the only time he really misses it is when he plays poker.

5:36 pm

5:37 pm

bichon

come on out to washington state--you can have all of our show (20 inches in 3 days) plus 1-2 inches of ice on top of that resulting in an ice storm and now that it's starting to melt the wind is gusting at 35-50 mph......flooding is another concern now
