12:32 am
grannyrose

12:35 am
grannyrose

ruru, what is the hazelnut dessert they served called? do you know?
12:35 am
rururocks

baklava
12:36 am
grannyrose

no, that's honey, butter, pastry, and a mix of nuts. this was like a very crumbly nougat
12:37 am
Lizlin

Halva?
12:37 am
jbp

whatever it was, it sounds delish!
12:37 am
rururocks

souvlaki?
12:37 am
grannyrose

i think you nailed it, liz. thanx
12:37 am
Lizlin

np :)
12:37 am
rururocks

that usually has chocolate
12:37 am
grannyrose

* giggling* ruru you are silly
12:38 am
jbp

halvah is sesame based, I think
12:38 am
jbp

and can have choc
12:38 am
TraderKate

souvlaki is shish ka bob...
12:38 am
jbp

and also hi all
12:38 am
Lizlin

Hi jbp
12:38 am
rururocks

havla is more like a cake though
12:38 am
grannyrose

it's sort of difficult to describe the flavour. if it's chocolate, it must be a different sort to what i am used to eating.
12:39 am
Lizlin

Can make halva with hazelnuts too, I think.
12:39 am
TraderKate

halvah is awful.. but it is fort of a crumbly nougat thing.. but isn't it yiddish type stuff?
12:39 am
jbp

halvah is nothing like a cake
12:39 am
grannyrose

g'day jb p
12:39 am
Lizlin

I've seen it with chocolate but mostly without. It's middle eastern but like jbp said, not a cake but more like crumbly nougat.
12:40 am
jbp

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia\n/commons/thumb/2/2e/UnHelvasi.jpg/200p\nx-UnHelvasi.jpg
12:40 am
rururocks

it can be a pudding or a flatish cake too
12:40 am
jbp

does that look like what you mean, granny
12:40 am
TraderKate

right up there on hte list with marzipan.... icky!
12:40 am
rururocks

I can't eat nuts anyways
12:41 am
jbp

great, now I have a craving for halvah.
12:41 am
jbp

and tahini
12:41 am
Lizlin

I also avoid nuts but always found it too sweet anyway.
12:41 am
rururocks

greek desserts are really sweet
12:42 am
jbp

oh wait, that is the case of wine you are drinking, isn't it?
3:05 am
TraderKate

actually, since I usually swill red wine... the glass may actually hold a pint if filled... lovely large bowled wine stem... gathers the bouquet nicely...
3:05 am

LOLOLOL

I see the bottle... but where is the wine... oh right
3:08 am
TraderKate

lol... I have graduated form bottles to boxes.... 4 L casks in plastic bladders..keeps the air out and much cheaper to buy.. and way easier to return for deposit refund, rather than drag a bunch of bottles back to redeem..
3:09 am
sprite

*revises image from Kate ladylike drinking from a glass to kate lying under the tap and guzzling*
3:10 am

oh, gosh!! do you rip the box open towards the end in order to squeeze every last drop out. i do !!!
3:10 am

my icon used to be same, but with wine glass rather than choclits...
3:11 am
TraderKate

yes Rose.... you can always get one more glasss out that way...
Sprite... still lady-like, jsut improverished...
3:14 am
TraderKate

sprite... never guzzle wine, it is untoward and oh so common as dirt....sip in a ldylike fashion... just sip often nad take a glug once in a while when no one is looking ;)
3:16 am
sprite

yeah yeah, right, sure, hm-mm. *glances again at kate lying under the wine tape* Guess a funnel wouldn't go amiss though.
3:18 am
TraderKate

for the record.. I do not own one of those baseball caps that you load up with a couple bottles/cans.. that have straws from the recepticles to the mouth... just sayin'... Me is high class, ain't no cheap sherry swiller...

they are going to a really excellent small private school that lets kids move at their own pace and explore their interests
8:54 am
Scrabbler

Great. I enjoy talking with parents of bright kids and discovering what they are doing to enrich their kids' education, as elementary schools often do not.
8:55 am
hurshy

this place is so great, they also make sure they are paying attention to emotional/social development. if a teacher is abrupt with the kids, she'll then apologize, discuss with them how they felt, etc etc.
8:55 am
hurshy

there is an emphasis on respecting each child as a person
8:56 am

Fascinating.

my friend recently had an intestinal virus....she thought it was food poisoning but it did not go away...
9:02 am

Yes, wide range. But typically there is intense vomiting and diarrhea, often bloody diarrhea. Salmonella passes. E. coli can cause bloody diarrhea and one strain can cause kidney failure.

I have to be game doc at the football game on your second night.
9:36 am

Do you enjoy that?
9:40 am
Scrabbler

Well, I am a cultural anthropologist (I observe people) so it is fascinating to see the gladiator mentality of football coaches and players, the cheerleader mentality (barf), the parents, and the crowd.
9:40 am
Scrabbler

I enjoy sports medicine and orthopedics, but football is violent and aggressive.
9:40 am

Yes, humans are fascinating.
9:41 am

Good morning, all! Ah, another micro grid.

Hi Judi. Yep, speedy Sunday grid.
10:19 am
Judi

Ha! Just found the 8. Might as well hang it up now.
10:20 am
Judi

And the co6. All is well.
10:21 am
Judi

Hiya, Molls. Yes the leaves are starting to turn here too. A bit early for us.
10:23 am
MollyL

I am a tree person and I know which leaves turn first. Usually the ones that sprout first (logic of nature). I don't get worried about a bad winter unless they all turn and drop by November 1.
10:25 am
Judi

I don't know if an early leaf drop is indicative of a particularly harsh winter. Could just be extra windy - like today. We are surrounded by trees, so we get buried in leaves.
10:27 am
Judi

Some days I would just like to light a match and get rid of them the easy way. The neighbors might take exception though.
10:28 am
MollyL

People used to rake and burn leaves all the time, when we were kids. Then that nasty EPA said it was contributing to poor air quality. Personally, I love the smell of burning leaves.
10:29 am
MollyL

Early leaf drop has less to do with wind and more to do with the trees preparing for the cold months. But that is kind of a Pagan idea that not many people subscribe to.
10:29 am
rururocks

come out to lake county then molly.. you'd be in heaven
10:30 am

I don't think I would like the smell of constant wild fires. The destruction of nature out your way makes me sad.

Hello, Patxxx. We shall not ignore you. We will insist you chat with us.
10:36 am

Be warned, Patxxx. Ruru is automatically drawn to anything that contains "XXX".
10:36 am

Hi all. Still no change on image. Not related to Lynxxx.
10:37 am

ah darn.. the xxx's had me fooled
10:38 am
MollyL

I see a bunch of cats. Cats seem to be the predominant icon image here in Babbleland.
10:39 am
Patxxx

I should have known better than to say 'ignore me'. I really should have said 'Excuse me I am just messing about trying to change my Image'. May I ask if it takes time to make the changeover?
10:39 am
Judi

Enjoyed reading your rant, Patxxx. We are of a like mind in many things.
10:39 am
Patxxx

Molly, Why can't I see a bunch of cats then?
10:39 am
MollyL

It's already changed, you just have to refresh.
10:40 am

I see cats, Pat. Refresh your screen a few times.
10:41 am

10:45 am
Patxxx

Thank you I have refreshed as instructed and have now got a bunch of cats. The cats belong to my grandson's family. They had 6 but one died. I have two cats, 1 male, 1 female and related to each other but between them they create the havoc of 10 whilst fighting each other!. They frighten my lovely Labrador to death.
10:46 am
rururocks

I can wait to have a Labrador..
10:46 am
rururocks

can't that is
10:46 am
Patxxx

I have many permanent white scratch scars. WHY? Well my kids drove me mad but it's life isn't it?
10:46 am
rururocks

I've put in an application to adopt one from a rescue organization
10:46 am
rururocks

white scratch scars?
10:47 am
Judi

Ty, Pat. Got two from that clue.
10:48 am
rururocks

I never had kids so what's my excuse ?
10:48 am
Patxxx

Ruru, it's difficult to get hold of Labs from Rescue Centres isn't it? I suppose it's because they are such easy dogs to live with as well as being quite expensive.
10:49 am
rururocks

it has been a bit of a challenge ..yes
10:49 am
Judi

They are popular as service dogs as well. Hmm. Having said that, I can picture Ru trying to train the dog to use a corkscrew.
10:49 am
rururocks

my neighbors have one and I just love her to pieces. she's one of the nicest, sweetest dogs I've ever met and smart as a human being
10:49 am
Patxxx

Judi - clue?
10:50 am

Sorry. Ruru gave me the AL7 clue.

10:51 am

What. Ev. Er.
10:51 am
Patxxx

Don't mock, my Lab has held me up a couple of times. As for using a corkscrew, it is well known that anything that goes into a Lab's mouth doesn't come back!
10:52 am
Judi

Labs are champion dogs.
10:53 am
rururocks

almost football time.
10:54 am

Sorry Judi, this is why I don't chat much. It scrambles my brain and ALL my clues then get entered into the chatlog!

It sounded odd to me! Not entirely sure I agree with these hybrids but she was big and gorgeous! I could have grabbed her and run off with her!

11:33 am
Patxxx

Fortunately, I think that gum is a foodstuff and if it was dangerous to the constitution, in any way, it would be banned! However, not all people agree.
11:34 am
Judi

Gum is for chewing. It is not digestible. It just passes right through (if you're lucky).
11:35 am
