7:37 am
flosey

monkeys aren't finding it
7:38 am
flosey

thanks Molly
7:38 am
MollyL

Not the best clue, but I couldn't think of another way to do it
7:39 am
MollyL

It's a Hebrew word I did not know
7:39 am
flosey

7:39 am
Anniebrook

Anniebrook

7:45 am
MollyL

I always wanted to build a Sukkot hut when I was little
: D
7:53 am
flosey

Shiksa? meaning? somewhere in the back of my mind seems somewhat negative?
7:56 am
MollyL

No, not negative. Just a non-Jewish woman
7:56 am
MollyL

My Jewish friends use it affectionately
7:56 am
flosey

ah, thanks Molly

a Sukkot hut is called a Sukkah. Lots of fun to eat out there
8:30 am
MollyL

I learned most of what I know about the Jewish religion from a series of kids books called "All Of A Kind Family"
8:31 am
bichon

hints for the pi and si pls
8:31 am
bichon

Mr. Bich, for a goy, knows way to much about Judiasism. He corrects me
8:31 am
penquis

um....there is no pi or si.....do you mean pl or sl?
8:31 am
bichon

yes, sorry pen
8:32 am
penquis

don't have the sl yet....no pl either....someone misspoke...
8:32 am
MollyL

I once worked for three Jewish women who said I knew more about their religion than they did
: D
8:32 am
lynxxx

they have the most ending - one is burnt by the Irish & the other is a rock
8:33 am
MollyL

Someone mentioned a p8 not a pl8
8:33 am
penquis

ah....so it is p plus mystery letter....;o)
8:35 am
penquis

8:46 am
MollyL

pe8 and sl8 sound like bad grammar to me.
8:46 am
penquis

yes, my nuns are rolling over in their graves again...
8:47 am
MollyL

Poor nuns, so much rolling
8:47 am
phaeton

like the word 'funner'
8:47 am
penquis

yes....they rolled twice this week when local newsperson said "off of"....twice in one week!
8:48 am
MollyL

I can just imagine the big red circle on my paper if I handed something in that had "That is the pe8 bog I've ever seen", the Irish girl said...on it.
8:48 am
penquis

yes!
8:52 am
MollyL

Of course, if you look at the way most kids write these days, grammar has become a thing of the past. Sad.
8:52 am
flosey

and penmanship too!!
8:53 am
penquis

yes, it's sad....i am tempted to carry a red pen....so many printed things are grammatically incorrect...
8:53 am
MollyL

They don't even teach penmanship anymore
8:56 am
flosey

presume computers changed that - essays, etc, now being typed
8:57 am
flosey

easier reading for the teacher

Most people don't use handwriting anymore. They don't write letters, they don't write checks, heck even most invitations are sent via email. It's unfortunate.

what are you studying?
9:54 am
hurshy

i have to take a bunch of prereq tests before i can start a masters program in elementary ed. this one is public speaking. i don't actually mind public speaking but for the test you have to record (i don't even know if it is just audio, or video) which i feel like is kind of worse than with actual people

Generally, if you communicate well on a person to person basis, you can flip that into good public speaking.
9:58 am
penquis

i was a high school debater....hated it....but it was a great learning experience....
9:59 am
hurshy

yeah, i really have no prob with actual public speaking, it's the recording, with 10 mins to prep on a topic you don't know in advance, that makes me a little nervous
9:59 am
MollyL

Wow, only ten minutes? That would unnerve me too.
10:01 am
penquis

i would brainstorm ideas, jot them down, and then outline them....it's what i had to do in debate rebuttal....
10:01 am
MollyL

Pen, debate is a whole different animal. You not only have to be ready to present your side, but to rebut the other one.
10:01 am
penquis

yes, that's true.....but the process of prep can be the same...
10:02 am
MollyL

And your suggestion to Hursh is very good, but hard to do in ten minutes.
10:02 am
penquis

we had 8 or 10 minutes to prepare the rebuttal....
10:02 am
hurshy

also you have to be sure you have 3-5 mins of material. over or under that time is automatic failure.

Andre The Giant would never have been in a movie with Anne Hathaway.
10:31 am
rururocks

I know a lot about princesses.. trust me .. I don't need a movie too
10:32 am

No, this movie is not about that kind of princess. It's a modern day fairy tale. Good stuff and very funny. It also involves pirates.

murdered by pirates is good

st5/16 sounds like what a rock with green icky stuff is like when you take it out of the water. Change up the second to the last consonant.

cauliflower and flour?
11:33 am

11:35 am

There are some things that do not go together. Pizza and cauliflower are two of them.

11:37 am

cauliflower is the new kale. cauliflower steaks are a trendy preparation.
11:37 am
rururocks

to be honest TO.. sounds like it'd be difficult to make
11:38 am
rururocks

I can't imagine cauliflower binding
11:39 am
72 Temple Owl

the technique is to make it rice like then work it into a crust
11:39 am
72 Temple Owl

i have not eaten this veg except in a blend. it seems as if it would be tasteless.
11:41 am
rururocks

it has a mild sulfur-y aspect to its smell
11:41 am
rururocks

when baked
11:41 am
MollyL

Pizza is essentially junk food. Cauliflower is healthy food. I'm not sure I see the point in mixing the two. I like cauliflower as a vegetable, but I would never incorporate it into pizza. The new kale? I guess that is what I miss not following the trends of the food fanatics.
11:42 am
rururocks

it is kind of tasteless TO.. It's ok in soups and stuff.
11:42 am
72 Temple Owl

so the answer to my inquiry is that no one has tried this. I have a Fb friend who loves the stuff, i will ask her.

Zucchini, like tofu, takes on the flavor of what it is cooked in
11:49 am

TO I think seain has done that
11:49 am
MollyL

Kale has potassium content. However you have to relate the amount of kale you need to meet the potassium value and usually you would have to eat a TON of kale to get the potassium value you get from other greens like spinach and swiss chard.
11:49 am
harpjane

stats for the lone A please?

it's harder on the east coast.. lots of veggies are tired by the time they get there.. at least in Long Island it was that way when I was there for a while
11:55 am
MollyL

Broadening your diet with vegetables is a healthy idea. I'm not sure adding them to pizza is the way to go, though.
11:55 am
72 Temple Owl

may try the cauliflower steaks. but if you have to put a lt of stuff like pine nut and golden raisins, not worth the effort
11:56 am

11:56 am

Did you ever go to the Monteray Market in Berkeley?
11:56 am
72 Temple Owl

lots of emphasis on local and organix now. and frozen is the way to go for out of season, though seasonal eating is best, the winter would be full of root vegetables and starch.
11:56 am

On the Right Coast, we only have "in season" vegetables for a few months. The rest of the time, they are "tired" like you said.

Hi ruru.
5:55 pm
sukee

How are you.
5:56 pm
rururocks

today? pretty good.
5:56 pm
rururocks

are you recovering from your pain from the shingles?
5:56 pm
sukee

That is good.
5:56 pm
rururocks

I got a vaccine when I turned 60 for shingles and whooping cough
5:57 pm
sukee

Well, the rash is going away but the pa 4/5 is still there. I'm still taking pain killers three times a day.
5:57 pm
rururocks

ouch..
5:57 pm
sukee

I had planned to get the vaccine when I was 60 :) It got me before I could.
5:57 pm
rururocks

it's like a nerve pain isn't it?
5:58 pm
rururocks

I told the nurse when she gave me the whooping cough shot that this doesn't preclude me from having whoopy does it ? She didn't laugh.
5:58 pm
sukee

Yes it is. And one part of the rash was on my spine and part on the large muscle in my shoulder and that is causing a lot of pa4/5
5:58 pm
rururocks

I'm sorry to hear that.
5:59 pm
sukee

I assume it will eventually stop.
5:59 pm
sukee

Had a restless night last night.
5:59 pm
rururocks

I think it takes a month or so doesn't it? I am not sure
5:59 pm
sukee

Well, I have enough pain killers for a month.
6:00 pm
sukee

Other than Advil, will have to get more of that.
6:00 pm
rururocks

yes.. it should settle down then.. the sooner the better
6:00 pm
sukee

Amen, because it hurts to lie down at times.
6:02 pm
rururocks

I can relate.. I bruised or broke a rib in a fall and I can only sleep on my back
6:02 pm
lynxxx

mmmm - apparently I need to wait until I am 70 to get the 'free' vaccine for shingles here. O bviously you are young enough to cope with the p4 b4 then
6:03 pm
sukee

Ours is not covered either.
6:03 pm
sukee

Sorry to hear that ruru
6:03 pm
sukee

It costs about $160
6:04 pm
lynxxx

and considering they say i in 2 older people will get it - seems kinda crazy
6:04 pm
rururocks

I think I had to pay for mine too lynxx
6:04 pm
rururocks

I'm not big on needles either
6:05 pm
sukee

I will put up with a shot if it means I never get this again :)
6:05 pm
rururocks

not knowing how old you are sukee.. usually it is done on your 60th
6:06 pm
sukee

I am 58.
6:06 pm
rururocks

ah.. well.. then probably in a couple of years.
6:06 pm
sukee

Although I asked my doctor and they said the jury is out on whether the shot can help after you have had it once.
6:06 pm
lynxxx

they must be hoping a lot of 60 yo's hop the twig b4 they are 70 here...cuts down on cost

6:11 pm

6:11 pm

:D.. sorry lynn.. I went out on a limb on that joke
6:11 pm
lynxxx

the cauli flower pizza is happening down here too
6:12 pm
rururocks

wow.. I never heard of it until TO mentioned it this morning
6:12 pm
sukee

Depressing, my team was winning until the 8th inning.
6:12 pm
72 Temple Owl

no. i cannot get over the yuck factor of cauliflower. i leftover pork cutlet milanese with salad and spaghetti
6:13 pm
sukee

I love cauliflower.
6:13 pm
sukee

I had some with dinner.
6:13 pm
lynxxx

I saw it in a local newspapare last week and someone mentioned it yesterday - in a cook book? - apparently it is delicious
6:14 pm
rururocks

that's what I thought TO.. it didn't really sound appealing to me either
6:14 pm
72 Temple Owl

i watched valerie bertinelli rice the cauliflower and mix it with Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper and bake. then add toppings and bake again/
6:15 pm
72 Temple Owl

lynn, are they also touting cauliflower steaks?
6:16 pm
72 Temple Owl

brb, must start more food before i start eating dessert stuff.
6:16 pm
lynxxx

saw Jamie O grill pieces and then put in a curry - looked delish. Cauli is pretty bland so guess you can use it for a lot of things
6:17 pm
72 Temple Owl

i am wondering about the texture.
6:17 pm
72 Temple Owl

of crust
6:18 pm
72 Temple Owl

i tried the microwave corn meme too but could not get it to pop out of the husk. tasted great though.
6:19 pm
lynxxx

I did a dish where you cook fillet of beef with cauli and balsamic vinegar etc (all on one tray) - was fantastic
6:20 pm
lynxxx

(salivating thinking about it!)
6:20 pm
72 Temple Owl

balsamic makes everything better. just roasting chicken with it is fab.
6:20 pm
MimiCat

Absolutely ADORE cauliflower. The texture depends on how it's cooked. If you boil it, the texture will be more soft. But if you roast it and drizzle with oil or butter first and add spice, is more firm and has texture. Valerie did what I do...I cut it into "steaks" and prepare with whatever additional flavors I want it to have and roast in the oven until browned on both sides...yum. I also make a cauliflower casserole with chicken, onions potatoes and cheese that is yummy.
6:21 pm
sukee

I like mashing it instead of potatoes some times.
6:21 pm
rururocks

I don't cook it that often
6:22 pm
72 Temple Owl

i was at a loss how to cook chicken thighs for the meals for elderly, then tried balsamic. yum
6:22 pm
rururocks

hi mimi
6:22 pm
sukee

I'm off for now, take care all.
6:22 pm
lynxxx

I'll tell my husband about that Mimi - sure beats the hell out of boiling it and smothering with cheese sauce
6:22 pm
rururocks

bye sukee.. get better
6:22 pm
MimiCat

Yes, sukee, that's lovely. Also, speaking of balsamic, putting it on the cauliflower and roasting is great.
6:22 pm
MimiCat

6:22 pm

bye Sukee
6:22 pm

Thanks
6:22 pm

6:23 pm
72 Temple Owl

oh sukee, hope you are on the mend soon.
6:23 pm
MimiCat

Thought I'd pop in for a moment. Preparing to go to the hospital for neurological tests tomorrow. Guess they'll finally determine if I actually have a brain. If not, I'll have to take up the occupation of a scarecrow.
6:24 pm
72 Temple Owl

good luck, mimi
6:24 pm
rururocks

that's a good start mimi.. at least they can start on what's the matter
6:26 pm
MimiCat

They'd better figure it out. I haven't been able to stand/walk for over a week AGAIN. Tired of this...want my life back. Hey, they've tested for everything except whatever is wrong so at least we've narrowed it down. I'm going to one of the best hospitals for neurology..people come there from all over the world. It's the same place that treated Brett Michaels.
