I'm tired
1:13 am

1:13 am

np's flosey dear. i am done anyways.
1:14 am
grannyrose

* giggle* when you look in the mirror and find your keyboard imprinted in your forehead, it's time for bed.
1:14 am
flosey

do you complete the grid before coming into chat?
1:15 am
grannyrose

usually flosey, unless it's a biggie and no lickety. call my obsessive, that's okay. i can live with that.
1:15 am
flosey

no problem
1:15 am
grannyrose

ugh....* me *
1:16 am
grannyrose

and people like you and i keep in touch in other ways, so i don't usually miss much...lol...i have a very sticky nose.
1:17 am
flosey

I usually read as meant to be Rose - ignoring misspelling - when son was younger he was a bit dislexic - still tends to spell phonetically - no patience for silliness as in correct spelling!!! He does very well in business so has not harmed him at all that way
1:18 am
grannyrose

bless you, love. thanx for that.
1:21 am
grannyrose

don't think i told you. my absolute fave handbag gave up the ghost. so i was using a rather lovely colourful leather hold-all until i replaced it with a black leather bag from the charity shop. i hadn't quite got around to swapping everything over when don came out with a gorgeous leather shoulder bag in purple leather. brand new. it appears he had bought it for my birthday and couldn't wait.
1:22 am
flosey

ah rose, that's beautiful
1:23 am
flosey

I trust it goes with your coat, etc.
1:24 am
grannyrose

don't care if it does or doesn't...most of my clothes are either purple in various shades or pink, again in various shades.
1:24 am
flosey

ah, so it will blend
1:24 am
grannyrose

guess what my favourite colour is?
1:24 am
flosey

lol
1:26 am
grannyrose

when we were married, my bridesmaid wore purple (also her favourite colour) and my two little flower girls wore three different shades of purple.
1:26 am
flosey

wow, bet that was beautiful
1:27 am
flosey

mine wore a french blue, flower girl wore white
1:27 am
grannyrose

well, it certainly was different to my first wedding where my mother dictated everything.
1:27 am
grannyrose

oh, flosey, that sounds so pretty.
1:28 am
flosey

not really sure how to describe 'french' blue - but I loved it - sort of medium shade
1:28 am
flosey

oh!!! my mother did not have any say!
1:28 am
grannyrose

sort of a deep sky blue?
1:29 am
flosey

quite deep as a sky blue
1:29 am
grannyrose

sweetie, the first time round i was as poor as a church mouse. didn't have two coins to rub together. i didn't really mind, so long as we got married.
1:31 am
flosey

I kept them simple because they were all married and raising small children - they could wear them again - daytime length
1:31 am
flosey

ah, I was 29
1:31 am
grannyrose

the second time around...it was all my way. we walked through from the church to the hall where are very lush afternoon tea was laid on for all our guests ( about 150 of them ). and later my mother said disparagingly...it was a lovely country wedding.
1:32 am
grannyrose

but i really did not care. i was married to my beloved.
1:33 am
flosey

he had 3 yrs to his degree plus 5th yr Education to allow him to teach
1:33 am
flosey

good for you, Rose
1:34 am
flosey

he had to pay his own U costs so had to work for a few years to pay it
1:36 am
grannyrose

isn't amazing!! first hubby had no qualifications at all, except he captured my heart when i was 13. second hubby says he has never met a woman so knowledgable as i am. (he moved in very small circles)...lol and he has three degrees to his name.
1:38 am
flosey

there you go rose, he sees you for all that you are
1:38 am
grannyrose

you will love this. don has bought a t-shirt. on the front it says...i don't need google. my wife knows everything.
1:38 am
flosey

love it!
1:39 am
grannyrose

want me to send one for mr flosey?
1:39 am
flosey

lol, he'd wear it
1:39 am
grannyrose

oops!! dinner ready. maybe catch you later. if not, sweet dreams my dear friend.
1:40 am

don is pretty chuffed. he doesn't go by the scales, but what does or does not fit him anymore.

Would the magnesium not help you with the pain, Rose?
4:08 am
grannyrose

i have deliberately missed my nana nap this afternoon.
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Good idea you will be nice and sleepy at the right time :-)
4:10 am
grannyrose

tried, zooz. have got to the point if magnesium doesn't work, i have to resort to valium and/or endone. this morning...it was definitely an endone morning.
4:11 am
grannyrose

on the up side?? it is less than 3 weeks until the pain-specialist appointment.
4:11 am
zoozzoom

I think the valium here is called diazepam. not sure what endone is..will have to look it up.
4:12 am
zoozzoom

That is good then.Those three weeks will fly past!
4:13 am
grannyrose

and australia's top rheumatologist wants me to be a part of a new research program for FM... i will call him on monday and find out what it is all about. apparently they have a NEW drug to control FM.
4:14 am
grannyrose

zooz, yup. diazepam...i only take 2mgs at a time...about once/week. the endone...i only take every 10-14 days.
4:14 am
zoozzoom

Sounds exciting, Rose, you can be at the front of new drug science!
4:15 am
zoozzoom

Endone here is called Oxycodone.
4:15 am
grannyrose

yeah, zooz. it is exciting.
4:15 am
zoozzoom

When I need to take diazepan I take 10mg.
4:15 am
grannyrose

you have got it in one. i take the fast relief form.
4:15 am
zoozzoom

diazepam*
4:19 am

I hope the new drug works for you, Rose :-)

I have muscle problems and the cold makes me hurt. So basically I hurt all winter, not majorly but it is there.
6:26 am

on a scale of 1 - 10, how bad is it?

Probably 3.

Heat does help though.

I would like to spend the whole day in the bathtub, but it is getting too hard to get in and out
6:28 am

Yes. I never used to hurt but since I broke my fibula my pain receptors seemed to go into high gear.

My better half prefers her toffe in the shape of a coin; about the size of a half-dollar and she likes to let it melt on her tongue. She does not care for the blocks of toffee you have to bash apart with a toffee hammer or the mass produced stuff. My better half is complicated:/

If she is renting the house, the landlord should be responsible for all maintenance and snow clearing.

Hi Welki

that happens here as well. the worst is that you shovel and then the plows pack snow at the bottom of your driveway

for the amount of rent i pay , she can have the snow removal .. taken care of

We don't have Costco here but we have BJ's and Sam's CLub which require memberships. I belong to BJ's Wholsale Club but the closest store's roof collapsed under 7 feet of snow during the massive November storm. It will re-open in March.

Yes, good for him. He was an orphan. His sister left him in Poland. I have no idea how he came to be in Italy (genoa). He spoke Italian fluently.

I do not know, Judi. here for example, we used to have our own police force, but have since been assimilated by the Ontario Provincial Police. RCMP have jurisdiction country wide.

Ah, the glamorous RCMP>
9:27 am

They are more for show. You do not generally see them jammed in a police vehicle doing a patrol
9:27 am

I'll bet.
9:28 am

But they are glamorous.
9:28 am

Though they are handy to cut through red tape to bring a bad guy back to a particular province to be tried

Now that would be interesting. i have not done it that way in years
10:42 am

... you can usually get them for free from NHL.COM ... the Habs french broadcast is really good ... better than the English and better than Joe Bowen doing the Leafs ... and certainly better than any of the American radio guys
10:43 am

is it me or are the a's impossible?

I guess it's not surprising that I wouldn't be able to stand it... I thought Twilight was near unbearable, so why would I like the fanfic any better?
11:22 am

50 Shades and the Twilight series proves that any idiot who thinks they can write (and has connections in the publishing world) can get published.

depends on your POV :)
1:25 pm
bichon

ag 5/14, last one
1:26 pm
bichon

please
1:26 pm
MollyL

Well, if Valentine's Day is about romance, I would say the words in the grid are more like what a horn dog teenage boy thinks on Valentine's Day : P
1:27 pm
Shirlockc

like i said, depends on your POV, since I haven't had a "valentine's" day in longer than i can remember :)
1:27 pm

Not a breed....ahahahaha!

But they are a breed, a breed all their own
1:29 pm
hego

true
1:30 pm
MollyL

Last ag5 is to say someone is right about something
1:37 pm
MollyL

I put a pot of red sauce on. Somehow, the impending doom of a sub zero temperature day seems acceptable when the house smells like onion, garlic and peppers.
: D
1:37 pm
hego

sounds good.
1:37 pm
hego

I always want to make beef stew when it's cold.
1:39 pm
MollyL

I make beef stew whenever I can find chuck roast on sale. Then I freeze some for later.
1:39 pm

chili too
1:39 pm
Shirlockc

was just chatting with my bro about making congee
1:40 pm
cybernan

hi everyone -- lovely 11C sunny day here -- hopefully that means spring at last! Will have to convince better half to prune and spray the grapes for me soon.
1:40 pm
hego

Hi Nan
1:41 pm
hego

Never made congee.
1:41 pm
Shirlockc

easy peasy
1:41 pm
Shirlockc

congee = rice with extra water and stuff in it
1:42 pm
hego

isn't it about cooking rice to death?
1:42 pm
dcseain

congee is a rice porridge, common in all of E and SE asia.
1:42 pm
Shirlockc

you can make it thicker like porridge or thinner like soup
1:42 pm
Shirlockc

actually, you usually used cooked rice to make it, or "broken" rice, waste not want not
1:42 pm
hego

Does it have much flavor?
1:43 pm
dcseain

indeed, shirl, an hego, it has as much flavor as you add to it. :)
1:43 pm
Shirlockc

depends what you put in it, my fav is preserved egg (the black kind) and pork
1:43 pm
hego

Now I get it.
1:43 pm
Shirlockc

i always make it when i'm sick -- easy to digest and lots of fluid -- chinese chicken soup :)
1:44 pm
dcseain

i often do cabbage, onion, soy, broth, kimchi and more.
1:44 pm
hego

I made a rice pudding like that once. just milk and rice and cook the heck out of it.
1:44 pm
hego

and some sugar, of course.
1:45 pm
hego

I will have to learn more about it.
1:46 pm
rururocks

I can't stand the smell of Kimchi
1:46 pm
dcseain

i love kimchi.
1:47 pm
dcseain

and there are so many different varieties. :)
1:47 pm
hego

It's an aquired taste for sure.
1:47 pm
hego

acquired
1:49 pm
MollyL

Umm-boy, rotten cabbage burbling in your kitchen
1:50 pm
hego

:)
1:50 pm
dcseain

not always cabbage :)
1:51 pm
hego

fermented, Molly, not rotten.
1:51 pm
rururocks


it always smelled like someone died
1:51 pm
hego

Semantics are important.
1:51 pm
hego

lol, Ruru, so bad.
1:51 pm
rururocks

fermented Rye I can deal with
1:52 pm
hego

and grapes, don't forget grapes.
1:52 pm
MollyL

Fermented is to alcohol...rotten is to kimchi...
1:52 pm
hego

I knw Koreans who don't like kimchi.
1:52 pm
rururocks

*giggles*
1:53 pm
rururocks

Customer in Korean restaurant: wow. that's pungent.. is that fresh kimchi? restaurant owner: no our chef died.. we're trying to get him out
1:54 pm
hego

There is no frsh kimchi.
1:54 pm
hego

fresh
1:56 pm
MollyL

I had Korean neighbors once, who put pots of cabbage out on their deck to "ferment" in the hot sun. The smell was worse than "someone died"
1:57 pm
hego

That would be quite awful. No wonder you don't like it.
2:02 pm
rururocks

I hear Kimchi isn't allowed to be served at Sony Headquarters
2:03 pm
MollyL

Really? At Toshiba headquarters they have a "rotten vegetable" pot luck supper.
2:04 pm
rururocks

cultural food differences are really interesting though
2:05 pm
hego

Don't you wonder how folks ever came to eat certain things?
2:05 pm
hego

Like rotten cabbage. And fermented sardines.
2:05 pm
dcseain

making kimchi is not unlike making sauerkraut, if spicier.
2:05 pm
rururocks

yes.. some things people ate at Greek Easter grossed me out too
2:05 pm
hego

a lot spicier.
2:06 pm
rururocks

I so like sauerkraut.. do they use heavy garlic in kimchi DC?
2:06 pm
hego

Really Ru?
2:06 pm
dcseain

it depends, but often they do, ruru
2:06 pm
dcseain

Spring kimchi is less spice than Fall and Winter kimchi.
2:07 pm
rururocks

must be the combo of cabbage and garlic then for me.. really off putting
2:07 pm
MollyL

Someone died after eating garlic, yummy
2:07 pm
hego

strong garlic is hard to take.
2:07 pm
rururocks

I concur
2:08 pm
dcseain

there's also usually anchovy or shrimp paste, soy sauce, and chili paste, and chili powder i in kimchi. And some vinegar
2:08 pm
rururocks

even strong aioli is too much for me
2:08 pm
cybernan

probably rotten cabbage and fermented sardines was all that was available for some people during the middle ages -- how most of our unpalatable foods came into being --- haggis is another example
2:08 pm
rururocks

must be the anchovy.. I don't like that either
2:08 pm
hego

with garlic, I like subtle.
2:08 pm
hego

kind of like haggis.
2:09 pm
cybernan

don't order a fish sandwich in any of the cinque terre towns, ruru --- anchovy is what you get!
2:09 pm
rururocks

what's haggis?
2:09 pm
hego

anchovy also should have a light hand.
2:09 pm
cybernan

*speaking from experience, btw
2:09 pm
hego

Haggis is the national dish of Scotland.
2:09 pm
hego

It's kind of a stuffing.
2:09 pm
rururocks

fermented bagpipes?
2:10 pm
cybernan

a mixture of stale bread and sheep's organs chopped up and steamed in the lining of a sheep's stomach
2:10 pm
hego

Nan, you must have got a bad restaurant in Cinque Terra.
2:10 pm
rururocks

oh.. THAT sounds delish.. ewwwwwwwww
2:11 pm
dcseain

lots of onions in haggis, too
2:11 pm
hego

I know. it sounds bad, but it's really not.
2:11 pm
cybernan

I prefer to think of sticky toffee pudding as the national dish of scotland -- it goes so well with the national drink!
2:11 pm
rururocks

<---far from Anthony Bourdain
2:11 pm
hego

Nothing fermented, anyway.
2:11 pm
jan

And oats! Can't forget the oats...
2:11 pm
dcseain

indeed, jan!
2:12 pm
hego

Right! There must be oats!
2:12 pm
dcseain

well, off to a a late lunch. Catch yall later. :)
2:12 pm
jan

I've had haggis twice. It's really kind of starchy and boring.
2:12 pm
hego

A true poverty dish.
2:12 pm
rururocks

bye dc
2:12 pm
hego

Bye Seain
2:12 pm

2:12 pm
jan

Now that we've whetted your appetite!
2:13 pm
hego

I have had "gourmet" haggis in fine restaurants in Scotland.
2:13 pm
cybernan

the only day fine restaurants serve haggis is Rabbie's Day
2:13 pm
rururocks

were you on the lamb in Scotland?
2:14 pm
hego

If you drink enough single malt, anything tastes fine.
2:14 pm
MollyL

Gourmet haggis? Is that like haute cuisine ramen?
2:14 pm
rururocks

lol amen sister
2:14 pm
hego

No joke, Ru, there are sheep everywhere!
2:14 pm
cybernan

true, hego
2:15 pm
cybernan

black face sheep and highland cattle
2:15 pm
hego

I kind of like Scotland. It's unique.
2:15 pm
MollyL

*Refrains from making sheep jokes
2:15 pm
rururocks

i'm hoping to go there someday
2:15 pm
hego

And you do have to like lamb.
2:16 pm
hego

You will like all the malt tasting.
2:16 pm
rururocks

2:16 pm
hego

2:16 pm
rururocks

I love lamb..it is in my genetic make-up
2:16 pm
jan

Scotch is barley's highest and best use...
2:17 pm
MollyL

There is a reason the Scottish men drink so much...
2:17 pm
hego

Or you grew up eating it.
2:17 pm
rururocks

why's that molls?
2:17 pm
cybernan

It's a lot like the okanagan valley, southern OR, Napa and France --- instead of following the wine route, you follow the whiskey trail and taste your way around the country
2:17 pm
hego

Molly, and that would be?
2:18 pm
cybernan

*speaking from experience again
2:18 pm
hego

The landscape is like no other.
2:18 pm
rururocks

I'd just plop myself at Balvinie and McCallan and call it a day
2:18 pm
hego

Nan is very experienced. :)
2:18 pm
hego

ru, why not.
2:19 pm
cybernan

oh no -- you have to go to Islay as well
2:19 pm
rururocks

I don't like the Islay scotches
2:19 pm
rururocks

2:19 pm
hego

I like peaty
2:20 pm
hego

A little, not too much.
2:20 pm
rururocks

yeah..it's an acquired taste there too
2:20 pm
cybernan

like Bowmore 21 yr and Lagavullin 16 yr
2:20 pm
MollyL

Well Ru, what would you do if your choice was to go home to dine on haggis or spend a lonely night tending sheep?
2:20 pm
rururocks

Lagavullin is too strong for me
2:20 pm
MollyL

Wimp
2:20 pm

2:20 pm

2:23 pm
cybernan

2:24 pm

On the half shell (with the roe) is how they serve them in France, I think...

2:24 pm

Nan, I'll be right over.
2:25 pm

Tonight I will get to show my son how water can instantly freeze. it is a good trick, and I have not done it since we moved south before he was born. The temp with the wind chill is set to hit minus 41C or minus 41.8F so if you throw a cup of hot water into the air in a wide arc it will freeze before it hits the ground.... Knit me a nice cable knit sweater please:)

Ahem, so all the "words" in the grid today will be applicable to Chez Soodle? Woo-hoo, the hooliest hooley ever.
4:38 pm
MollyL

Son of Soodle: How's Mom?...Daughter of Soodle: I don't know, she never answers the phone...Daughter 2 Of Soodle: She answered the phone once, when I called. It sounded like a drunken hooley was going on there.
4:47 pm

If only, Molly, if only. I'd love to live in THAT Chez Soodle!

Soodle

The romance of it all, on the day that's in it. A chap I know did me the favour of cleaning out my septic tank on Monday. He wouldn't take any money from me, he said he would prefer a home-cooked meal... so I am busy grilling steaks now. Sheesh... Could Valentines Day be any more romantic?

Oh I need a man who will barter handy stuff like that for good cooking. The hell with romance, that's for fools who don't have practical things to deal with.
5:09 pm
Soodle

Hmm, Molly. If it could be kept to practical things, that would be fine.... Maybe I made my pepper sauce to saucy...
5:18 pm
MollyL

Saucy women do saucy things. It can't be helped.

i am hunkered down through tomorrow at least....
9:05 pm

warmer here now than it was earlier today...
9:06 pm

i drank my 2nd favorite cider whilst browning my bones. first time i've had booze in the house since september
9:11 pm
penquis

what is your favorite?
9:12 pm
pippingeek

blackthorn, an extra dry english cider
9:12 pm
penquis

nice....second favorite?
9:13 pm
pippingeek

and i've had a couple stellar fancy ones in bars that i've loved, but they're not widely available enough to repeat, so
9:13 pm
pippingeek

the most frequent one i get is the angry orchard traditional dry. widely availasble and not too sweet
9:14 pm
pippingeek

thats what i had tonight
9:14 pm
penquis

yes, i know Angry Orchard....not my favorite, though....i like Downeast but I doubt it's available out of state....
9:15 pm
pippingeek

most angry orchard i dislike, only this one flavor - they have at least 3-4 cider varieties
9:15 pm
penquis

I like Johnny Appleseed, too...
9:16 pm
pippingeek

most ciders i find far too sweet, i would really just drink lambics if they were popular enough to be widespread
9:16 pm
penquis

i also don't like ciders that are too sweet...
9:28 pm
pippingeek

oof. just ate too much salty popcorn. not helping me get hydrated so i can run tomorrow!
