I wonder if Minveryork could get the whole grid in, if she was still doing "a story of clues"
7:12 am
MollyL
It might read like Jabberwocky with some of the words in this one.
7:25 am
MollyL
Twas mi4/5, and the slithy wa4/12
7:32 am
BzznBea
Now what is everyone going to do today? I will be baking a cake for tomorrow. Sunshiny today so I will play outside. Get my walk in. Fill out some paper work. Work for a bit on a sewing project. Oh, and there is some game on today?
7:32 am
BzznBea
Go Chiefs!
7:39 am
hokie carla
wow, 28. this shouldn't take long. or will take all day.
7:41 am
BzznBea
The top row is a bugger...
7:41 am
hokie carla
nah, I'm already finished with it
7:42 am
hokie carla
I was playing serpentine last night and there was a grid with 9 words total.
7:42 am
hokie carla
finished the 5's, it's all 4's from here baby
7:55 am
MLFAN17
are you kidding me??
7:55 am
BzznBea
Give it a go, mlf.
7:57 am
hokie carla
easier than I thought it was going to be. last word and only one I couldn't figure out without the stats was the w Molly mentioned. first time I've finished sans list.
7:57 am
periwinkle
just 2 four letter words left. how hard can that be. one an H and one a W
7:59 am
periwinkle
just the top H. one little 4 letter word left
7:59 am
BzznBea
Probably a singular.
8:00 am
periwinkle
got it and fireworks for me. YAY. no list
8:02 am
jzw
28 words and I'm still going to need Lickety. ;)
8:02 am
jzw
shoot ignore that!
8:03 am
hokie carla
nah, you won't need lickety. you can do it. only 4 words that aren't 4 letters, and 4 letters are fairly easy to guess.
8:07 am
MollyL
I spend most Sundays in the kitchen, getting easy to prepare meals ready for the work week. Today I will make some guacamole later for the game. Good luck to the Niners.
8:07 am
hokie carla
oh, the game's today? :D
8:08 am
BzznBea
We are making naan pizzas for game dinner.
8:09 am
BzznBea
My daughter does a lot of food prep on Sunday's too Molly. She works 12 hour shifts with two littles.
8:11 am
hokie carla
I was thinking about making a gluten free pizza today.
8:12 am
BzznBea
The Niner's offensive coach, Katie Sowers, is a Kansas girl. So no matter who scores the most points today, Kansas wins.
8:13 am
BzznBea
What do you use in the crust to make it gf, Carla?
8:13 am
hokie carla
My husband wanted to try one of those meal delivery services. We tried Home Chef. Every meal we made was delish, but some weeks they didn't have enough GF options so I stopped it. Those meals are at our grocery, so I can just get one there if I want.
8:13 am
hokie carla
Bea, I've been seeing a commercial with her and it makes me cry. :D
8:13 am
jzw
My son worked on the commercial featuring Katie. He did the simulated screen on her Surface.
8:13 am
hokie carla
that's cool
8:14 am
BzznBea
Yes, I love watching her in that commercial.
8:14 am
BzznBea
That is awesome, jzw! Tell him, "Nice work!"
8:15 am
hokie carla
bea, re: the pizza, this time I'm just using a pre-made crust by Schar. GF pizza is very hard to make good. honestly freschetta's frozen GF pizza is about the best there is.

Never knew he knew anything about football! I guess we're a Patriots family (I hate FB) but I'm soooo glad the Pats aren't in it this year.

is this a record setter? hello to all
8:16 am
BzznBea
Do you have a Mellow Mushroom out there, Carla?
8:20 am
jzw
No Lickety for me. A first! Off to church and the movies! Enjoy the rest of your day.
8:22 am
hokie carla
no, but we go to places that do (like Asheville). I've had it a few times. It always tastes soapy to me. Marco's makes a really good one but I think I got glutened by them once so I get that sparingly. My son worked for Domino's last summer and he recommended I never get theirs because they don't do anything to guard against cross-contamination.
8:24 am
BzznBea
Thanks for the heads up on Dominos! We occasionally got to MM in Wake Forest. I have a menu from them that I use for the toppings on our homemade pizzas.
8:24 am
BzznBea
My favorite is thier red potato and bacon pie.
8:25 am
hokie carla
interesting combo on a pizza
8:26 am
BzznBea
It is really good. May have chives and sour cream on the one at the store.
8:27 am
hokie carla
it's just hard for any place that does regular pizza to keep the GF one GF. flour flying around everywhere.
8:29 am
BzznBea
I'm going to get busy...See you all tomorrow!
8:31 am
hokie carla
adios!

I obviously need to work on my longer words and not mess with the 4's. I can type nonstop the entire round and then lose 8 rating points.
8:59 am
melonheadjujube
OK ruru, strike up the band. I had left out one I thought I had typed.
