6:49 am

Marc Freeman

Great my son lived and worked in DC for quite awhile, Pentagon and State department.

7:00 am

DC is a nice city. I like the fact that you can see the sky there. Most other cities have tall buildings that block the sky.

72 Temple Owl

7:58 am

72 Temple Owl

MLFAN17

8:17 am

Sam

Sorry. Went away for awhile. My Lickety list shows 124 words and the grid shows 125. An H5 is missing, from the higher H.

8:18 am

BzznBea

They should go back underground after it dries up. They are being force to the surface by the wet soil.

BzznBea

Awe, good! I'm sure she was delighted.

8:31 am

BzznBea

Yesterday I got the binding on the scrappy quilt I've been working on and Mom has it now to hand sew the binding.

8:33 am

hokie carla

it was the brown bag mystery quilt pattern of 2018. I think it was called town square. I pieced this one before I knew what the finished thing looks like so I could've done the fabrics a little different, but it turned out good.

8:33 am

periwinkle

8:33 am

hokie carla

BzznBea

Do you make your own crust, ru? What is in your quiche?

9:11 am

hokie carla

I've got some butter out warming up to make choc. chip cookies. I just hope I have chocolate chips.

9:12 am

rururocks

i buy the crust.. i'm not a great baker..this one has shallots, broccoli, white cheddar, red peppers and thyme

9:12 am

BzznBea

I have butter out to make my Momma one of her favorites, Applesauce Brownies. They are more of a cake.

9:13 am

BzznBea

I'm a baker and I still buy the crust. =)

9:13 am

rururocks

i love apple anything

9:13 am

rururocks

i find it hard to do exact measurements so baking isn't great for me

9:14 am

BzznBea

I love Aldi's refrigerated pie crusts.

9:14 am

BzznBea

We might be having cheese and onion pie tomorrow.

9:15 am

phaeton

9:15 am

rururocks

mr bea hit the jackpot with you i think

9:15 am

cybernan

good moring everyone

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

has anyone ever made piecrust cookies? I've sen thema nd they are easy but i cannot imagine how they come out.

9:16 am

72 Temple Owl

texture wise

9:16 am

rururocks

not me..

9:16 am

cybernan

I thought you would have been good at pie crusts ru -- pastry isn't exact measurements -- good pastry is made by feel.

9:16 am

BzznBea

phae, that im has the same two letters that your name starts with.

9:17 am

phaeton

ty Bea

9:17 am

BzznBea

My mom always srpinfled sugar and cinnamom one left over pie dough. They were like cookies.

9:18 am

cybernan

lol bea -- was about to ask the same thing -- I make those with the pie crust trimmings all the time.

9:18 am

rururocks

i'm good at doing things by feel nan :D

9:18 am

BzznBea

Mr. Bea's mom used sugar and cocoa.

9:19 am

cybernan

that's what I thougt, ru - lol

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

then that is what they must be like. melted butter, brwon sugar, cinnamon over crust, roll, cut bake. i have some pie crusts that are form the stone age in the fridge and they are either used soon or go.

9:20 am

cybernan

spread butter on the rolled out dough, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top, roll it up and slice into 1" segmants, place on cookie sheet or pie plate with swirl side up and bake 10 min. at 400F

9:21 am

BzznBea

Make them like you would cinnamon rolls, Owl.

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

one good thing is i am eating less baked goods becae i am conserving butter and eggs. but i am eating more food stuff, so balnaces out.

9:22 am

BzznBea

Is PA, starting to open, owl?

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

i love to bake but at present only one other person to share with. somehow cakes never make it over there.

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

not SE PA.counties adjoining the city are lumped in with them. and i have not seen my MD friends since mid Feb.the woest is my best friend moving to Colorado and not being able to properly send her off.

9:24 am

cybernan

I don't know if pie crusts that have been sitting in the fridge would work, TO -- make sure they are at room temp before you try to work with them. I have never used pie crusts from the store, so I don;t know what the texture would be like.

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

her mother was in a nursing home ther and died of the virus. just awful.

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps i will stick to king arthur pan cake. no eggs, no butter. but also no ice cream to top it.

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

or a nice olive oil cake. there always seems to be a ingridient lacking, like lemon and orange zest.

9:26 am

BzznBea

You should be fine with the dough. Let it set out and it will be easier to work with.

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

thanks. in thwo months have only baked half a recipe of oatmeal cookies and one chocolate pan cake.

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

i love that recipe

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

and it's vegan.

9:28 am

cybernan

I admire your self control -- I live with a cookie monster so have been making 2 double batches of cookies per week.

9:28 am

rururocks

i gave saanich a recipe for pork tenderloins yesterday and she said it came out perfectly

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

my cookie monster is 31/2 hours away.

9:29 am

cybernan

how do you do them ru?

9:29 am

cybernan

I am married to mine, TO

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

is it salt crusted? i want to try jose andres' salt crusted pork loin. but most of the small ones here are brined, i don't want that

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

ilove pork tenderloin, so many ways and so easy and great leftovers. i made one with 5 spice powder, baked on a rack. yum

9:30 am

cybernan

I usually just bread them and fry them in orange infused olive oil -- looking for something different

9:30 am

phaeton

fw

9:31 am

rururocks

she asked for a simpler recipe.. so I roll them in olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper, minced garlic (one clove), minced shallot (small). and when ready to put in the oven.. i lightly dust with mustard powder and a little more pepper .. roast at 350 for 35 minutes (if smaller loins) and let rest for 7-10 minute

9:31 am

cybernan

grats, phae

9:31 am

BzznBea

I have one I marinate and then make pan sauce to pour over. It is always a big hit.

9:31 am

cybernan

what do you use in the marinade?

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

classic

9:32 am

cybernan

sounds good, ru -- would leave out the mustard though - can't stand the stuff

9:33 am

rururocks

oh.. it really adds a lot.. but you can do without

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

shprite sells the whole tenderloin with instuctiions on how to cut it- make chops, roasts, etc.

9:33 am

rururocks

i love pork tenderloin

9:34 am

hokie carla

oh bea, you didn't remind me about tsar yesterday (or whatever day tetra was here too) and it was in my last 15 or so I had to use the list for

9:34 am

cybernan

I will try it without --- I'm the one that had a hard time finding something to eat without mustard on it when we were in Lorraine

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

pork loves garlic, thyme and rosemary. i am sure there is a food netowrk recipe where you slather that on and roast. SIL made for some occasion, maybe christmas.

9:34 am

rururocks

personally i love mustard .. so it's great for me

9:35 am

rururocks

the trick TO is not TOO Much garlic as it's a delicate meat

9:35 am

hokie carla

don't like mustard either but have gotten to where I'll use it in stuff that calls for it.

9:35 am

BzznBea

Olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, Worchestershire sauce, minced garlic, dry mustard, chopped parsley black pepper is the marinade I use for my pork tenderloin.

9:35 am

rururocks

i've never met anyone who doesn't like mustard

9:36 am

hokie carla

now you have! (kinda)

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

ru" there is no such thing as too much garlic. except mama rose's garlic knots. the garlic does nto cook enough to mellow on those baked tidbits.

9:36 am

MLFAN17

did anybody see where I said I found a tw 5/18 6/30?

9:36 am

BzznBea

I'm sorry, Carla. That could have been the day I wasn't here long?

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

yep. fan

9:37 am

hokie carla

lol, mlfan, I saw where you asked if you saw it and wasn't sure how to answer

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

i love garlic on steak.

9:37 am

MLFAN17

9:37 am

BzznBea

MLFAN17

9:39 am

cybernan

9:40 am

hokie carla

I buy the little trays of frozen garlic where you just pop one out for one clove

9:41 am

rururocks

the quiche is fantastic.. anyone want some?

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

cooking is instinctual whilst baking is scientific, don't you think?

9:41 am

hokie carla

yes, please, but I can't have the crust :(

9:41 am

cybernan

love quiche

9:42 am

BzznBea

Nan, I save out a couple Tablespoons of the marinade to add to butter and chicken stock or broth to make the pan sauce to did the pork loin while eating.

9:42 am

MLFAN17

ruru what is in it? i already ate though:?

9:42 am

rururocks

9:44 am

72 Temple Owl

bye bea.

9:44 am

MollyL

To me, pork isn't pork without sage.

9:44 am

hokie carla

I've seen it a few times, plus other american holiday baking shows. it's amazing to me what they can whip up without a recipe.

9:44 am

hokie carla

bye bea!

9:44 am

hokie carla

still 30 to go here

9:45 am

rururocks

i cannot find anything off that fourth column e

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, they have recipes. sometimes in the brit show, ingriedients or instuctions left out. and i believe they bring their own basics.

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

babblet

9:45 am

hokie carla

me either ru. I've heard tale of some ep's but can't find them.

9:45 am

cybernan

are you gluten intolerant, carla?

9:45 am

LuvWordGames

ep 6/24, & 2 ep 7/36's

9:45 am

hokie carla

yeah, the british baking show they use cookbooks, but the others they don't seem too.

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

i can do the pan cake and my sea salt olive oil cookies by memory

9:46 am

hokie carla

I have celiac, nan, so no gluten for me

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

and maybe my best, the pound cake.

9:46 am

cybernan

I have a pastry recipe that works with gluten free flour if you are interested.

9:47 am

hokie carla

yeah, most of these contestants have their own bakeries or make stuff in their homes, so I'm sure they have their recipes memorized.

9:47 am

rururocks

thanks love.. i have two of them

9:47 am

hokie carla

what kind of pastry?

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

i've seen lots of tortes made with almond flour or meal. the latest i want to try os torta caprese.

9:47 am

rururocks

i think i am going to have to list .. i'm stuck at 10

9:48 am

rururocks

i'm allergic to almonds

9:48 am

cybernan

still have 68 to go -- too much chatting

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a friend who bakes constantly. shares her failures, never afraid to try. that's the way

9:48 am

hokie carla

and my whole family are cookie monsters. they don't care if the cookies are gluten free, we eat a batch in a day

9:48 am

LuvWordGames

Just finished, any clues needed?

9:48 am

rururocks

fearless cooking is the best TO

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

all tree nuts or just almonds?

9:49 am

cybernan

this one is a sour cream pastry -- good with savoury pies.

9:49 am

hokie carla

almonds are the only nut I actually somewhat like

9:49 am

rururocks

maybe that other ep7 ?>

9:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, doesn't sound like something I'd like or use, but thank you anyway.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

i love almonds and almond flavoring. walnuts are a superfood and i eat them in my breakfast concoction.

9:49 am

LuvWordGames

add a vowel to the ep 6 for one and plural for another

9:49 am

rururocks

ah i found it

9:49 am

hokie carla

I still don't have the ep's

9:50 am

rururocks

walnuts would kill me

9:50 am

cybernan

I just used the Robin Hood gluten free flour -- was making pastries for a cocktail party where I knew there would be someone who is celiac attending

9:50 am

hokie carla

are the ep's real words?

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, tree but allergy. how do you dine out?

9:50 am

rururocks

yes

9:50 am

hokie carla

have not seen that brand, must be canadian

9:51 am

rururocks

thank you luv again

9:51 am

hokie carla

better batter is what I'm going to use for the cookies today. have not made them before but have used that for other recipes and it works well.

9:51 am

LuvWordGames

yw ruru. I'm off to start my day HAGD everyone

9:51 am

hokie carla

bye luv

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

bye luc

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

what is is made of, carla?

9:52 am

hokie carla

are you sure these are real words for the lexicographically challenged, ru?

9:52 am

cybernan

The Robin Hood brand is a mixture of corn and rice flour I think.

9:53 am

rururocks

yes

9:53 am

hokie carla

the better batter is rice, brown rice, & potato flours, tapioca & potato starches, xanthan gum & pectin

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

can you sub one for one in recipes? it sound interesing. have only ever tasted gluten free pretzels. yucky to me

9:54 am

hokie carla

it's from altoona, TO

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

hmm, wonder why i am suddenly starving for a piece of cake?

9:55 am

hokie carla

the thing about GF flours is there are all kinds of mixtures. some work better for subbing into cakes vs. cookies, etc. this one does say cup for cup sub.

9:56 am

hokie carla

I found a brand called Ryze at walmart a while back that has 2 different kinds and the bags tell you which baked good that version works for.

9:57 am

hokie carla

better batter I have to order from Amazon, even in regular times. It's not in stores here. but it's a 5 lb box with 4 separate bags, so it lasts a while.

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

good that it's so readily available now. I knwo c ouple of people with celiac each of them is rail thin. GUes because their diets are so limited re carbs.

9:59 am

hokie carla

I wish. people think gluten free is a weight loss diet, but that's not true at all. people that lose weight are losing it because they aren't eating carbs but there are so many gf mixes, products, etc, now and they are higher in sugar to make them taste better.

10:00 am

cybernan

I found I had to cut back on the amount of liquid when using the gluten free for pastry -- the one I used calls for a mixture of sour cream and egg to moisten the crumbs.

10:00 am

hokie carla

the only people that should cut out gluten are celiacs. regular people still need it.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

so i hear. some folks are crazy about excising it from their diets. but i heard it may aggravate IBS, which I have very badly.

10:03 am

hokie carla

and the fact it's trendy is a double-edged sword. more products in stores & menu items in restaurants, but the restaurants don't take cross-contamination seriously because they think you're just gluten free for fun.

10:03 am

cybernan

same here TO -- why I make most things from scratch -- I can't tolerate dried or powdered onion and garlic, but ok with the fresh -- every commercial sauce has dried onion in it, I think!

10:04 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, i 've read about it and saw how many products contain it that would not come to mind.

10:04 am

cybernan

carla -- do you have a franchise called The Keg in your location?

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

oh well, time to move, will need winter coat hat and gloves for walking today. happy babbling

10:05 am

hokie carla

so, when I say right now is no different than my normal life re: restaurants and takeout, I mean it. I don't eat a lot from restaurants anyway. it's just such a chore to explain to the waitperson, etc.

10:05 am

hokie carla

we do not have The Keg

10:06 am

hokie carla

up to 53 here now, TO. and the sun helps.

10:07 am

hokie carla

I need to get busy too. got these cookies to make, and some more facemasks for a neighbor. saving 28 for later.

10:07 am

dan2bit

morning all! blocked on the 4th column E, could I have some stats if anybody is still around?

10:08 am

rururocks

clued below dan

10:08 am

hokie carla

just leaving. apparently they are regular words, but I can't find them. all ep. maybe ep6 and 2 7's or 2 6's and 1 7.

10:09 am

hokie carla

did I miss clues? or just stats?

10:09 am

dan2bit

ty both

10:09 am

cybernan

too bad -- the only place my daughter will eat. She has printed the foods she is allergic to on a business card and when she goes into the keg she hands it to the waiter and says these could cause an anaphylactic reaction for me - what do you have that I can eat? At the Keg, the chef will come out to confer with her and assure her that he/she will prepare her meal himself and there will be no cross-contamination.

10:11 am

hokie carla

yeah, every time I've been to Disney, they've been great like that. the chef comes out and talks and offers to make me something special. My friend's daughter also has celiac and they have been to Disney since I have and now they've reverted to the CYA policy of "we cannot guarantee gluten free". So frustrating.

10:13 am

cybernan

Celiac has become such a common thing, I am surprised more restaurants aren't prepared for it -- I can understand the McDonalds of the world, but not a decent restaurant.

10:13 am

rururocks

did you tell disneyland that that is just goofy thinking?

10:14 am

cybernan

and here we go...

10:14 am

hokie carla

we go to a restaurant near her beach house for our girls' weekend, and this past time (in Jan), the chef came out after our meal, and I told him I appreciated all the options they had. he said it was very easy to do, for instance the ones with sauces, he used corn starch instead of flour. he was french and it was all delish.

10:15 am

hokie carla

speaking of McD's, there isn't really anything here I can eat, but in Europe you can eat the french fries and they have GF buns, etc.

10:15 am

hokie carla

it's daffy, ru, I agree

10:15 am

i haven't eaten in a mcD's since i was 15

Hello Jeff7! How are you doing? Welcome to this puzzle.

7:48 pm

Jeff7

I'm always around somewhere lol

7:53 pm

Minveryork

Just saw your occupation in your profile. Do U work in a school?Are you doing sessions on Zoom or other platform

7:56 pm

Jeff7

I have been doing sessions individually for speech with most of my children. A couple do not do well with that format but most have been OK with it

7:56 pm

Jeff7

Not the best way to do speech therapy but it is much better than not doing it at all.

7:58 pm

Minveryork

That is true with the whole education system. Teaching online is not the best way, but it is better than nothing.

7:59 pm

Jeff7

It is the way of the world right now.
