hi nan

12:32 am

Gillie

The st7 is kind of seasonal, I guess (especially if you're German)

12:33 am

lynxxx

Been eating some today - yum

12:36 am

Gillie

But Noel is just a phantom

12:36 am

hurshy

well i can guess the first 3 of ey7 but the last 4 ain't coming

12:37 am

lynxxx

seasonal ho5.16 too

12:37 am

Gillie

Oh, that's right!

12:37 am

cybernan

ty Gille - hadn't figured that one out

12:38 am

cybernan

want a clue hurshy?

12:38 am

hurshy

yes please

12:38 am

cybernan

what you need a mask to have if you want to see where you are going

12:38 am

Gillie

Almost typed it in the chat, having just figured it out

12:39 am

cybernan

would have though the Stonehenge priest would be a proper noun!

12:40 am

hurshy

thanks :D

12:41 am

cybernan

yw

12:44 am

hurshy

Os Overturned

12:46 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! Humperdinck's Chief Enforcer and head of his spy network

12:46 am

cybernan

no idea - thought Humperdinck was the composer of Hansel and Gretel

12:47 am

penquis

or the singer... ;o)

12:47 am

hurshy

he's the Prince of Florin... in the Princess Bride

12:48 am

cybernan

another one I haven't watche -- don't think I could convince hubby he'd like to see it!

12:50 am

Gillie

Well, I tried looking it up, but I don't see Tyrone or Rugen in the grid

12:50 am

hurshy

it's Yellen

12:50 am

hurshy

Count Rugen's role was a bit different... and not entirely clear really

12:52 am

Gillie

And it seems to be Yellin, actually - he's a soldier of Florin

12:52 am

hurshy

ah, well, when one hears it, it is hard to determine the spellin

12:53 am

hurshy

and it's been a long time since i re-read the book

12:54 am

cybernan

can't find a u - my only blank

12:55 am

hurshy

ur4 and ur5 (not related to each other)

12:55 am

ursh

me too nan

12:55 am

Gillie

Well, I've got ur4/6

12:55 am

ursh

ok tx Gillie

12:55 am

ursh

an hurshy

12:56 am

hurshy

i only got the ur5 because i remember that you take the south american poison and drop the C for a word and then you can also make this alt sp

12:56 am

Gillie

And now the ur5 - ty hurshy

12:56 am

hurshy

i have all these little mental notes for babble like that lol

12:57 am

cybernan

found the 4, ty

12:57 am

Gillie

I have some mental notes (such as jiao is like ciao), but they don't seem to help me much

12:58 am

cybernan

and the 5

12:58 am

hurshy

we are but mortal

1:00 am

cybernan

have all the 7's been called or is everyone missing one?

1:00 am

penquis

I think there is one missing.....at least for me....

1:00 am

Gillie

I think only 6 have been called

1:01 am

hurshy

and i only have 3 cause i haven't done s and t at all yet

1:01 am

cybernan

name that aspirin substitute

1:01 am

hurshy

tylenol!

1:02 am

cybernan

gold star

1:02 am

hurshy

ok wait i saw st and tr but i don't even know what the sixth 7 is, much less the 7th

1:03 am

Gillie

Well, I checked the list, and apparently there's an ei7

1:03 am

hurshy

well that's unreasonable

1:03 am

o2baflyndog

there's an ho7

1:04 am

cybernan

guess it's not eyedust then

1:04 am

Gillie

Also ho7 was called - and you've got ey7 and qu7x2, I think

1:04 am

penquis

yes, that was called earlier....

1:04 am

hurshy

ok i see thanks :D

1:05 am

hurshy

well i haven't done Hs either

1:05 am

hurshy

so

1:05 am

hurshy

that makes sense

1:05 am

penquis

found the ei 7....

1:06 am

Gillie

And I've got the ei7, now - almost got it earlier, actually, but I didn't finish it and Babble wouldn't take it

1:06 am

hurshy

help us help us help us

1:07 am

penquis

last five letters rhyme with a body part...

1:07 am

Gillie

Apparently, the ei7 means a phantom or apparition, or an ideal. I've never looked it up before.

1:08 am

Gillie

First two syllables rhyme with id4

1:08 am

Gillie

(That's maybe a bit too much of a clue.)

1:08 am

lynxxx

Ghost of Christmas Past?

1:09 am

hurshy

ok i get the start i think but now have to figure out what body part to rhyme the end with

1:09 am

hurshy

aHA got it

1:10 am

Gillie

Funny to have a phantom in the grid

1:10 am

penquis

my work here is done for now....back later to find my last 39.....goodnight all.....

1:10 am

hurshy

well the Gs are Ghoulish

1:10 am

hurshy

i'm calling it a night too, ttfn all

1:11 am

Gillie

good night

1:12 am

cybernan

guess I have the wrong id 4 - can't make heads or tails of the cue

1:14 am

cybernan

only have one id 4 so far

1:14 am

cybernan

there is only one!

1:14 am

8:51 am

BzznBea

I made a batch of fudge yesterday. We are going to have to dig it out of the pan with spoons.

72 Temple Owl

hello babblers!

9:01 am

Haz1558

Hello, TO!

9:04 am

72 Temple Owl

i am shopping for new slippers in beteen babbling. and watching america's test kitchen holiday cooking show. so far, babbling has won.

9:05 am

Haz1558

Shopping for new slippers online?

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. of course, i want the old ones, but they are no longer sold. i cannot wear those with flat soles, and most have them.

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

and they need to be booties

9:06 am

Haz1558

I always associate Christmas with new slippers - they were a standard as a child. I probably kept growing out of them which explains why I don't seem to need to replace them every year any more.

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

i associate christams with books. got lots of them.

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

nancy drew, cherry ames...

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

watching new potatoes roast with scallions garlic and smoked paprika

9:08 am

Haz1558

Yes, I loved getting the new one in the series.

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

i have never used smoked paprika.

9:09 am

Haz1558

We will be going into another lockdown the day after Christmas Day - even a curfew for the first week, presumably to stop New Year's Eve gatherings.

9:10 am

Haz1558

Non essential retail to shut at close of business on Christmas Eve, close contact services not allowed etc.

9:11 am

Haz1558

But the good news is that the Oxford vaccine has been approved and it is expected that the whole vulnerable population will be vaccinated by March. We are included in that, but at the tail end.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Stay safe, Haz.

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

as of now, i will stay home for christmas. i will work at the food pantry if they are short help; but since there will be a different crew, with at least one youth as of now, i will wait and see.

9:13 am

LuvWordGames

hey Scrabs, did you get a lot of snow?

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

we are getting the pfizer and moderna vaccines.

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

the oxford one sounds interesting.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

No, just a few inches, but 3 hours away in the Binghamton area they received 41 inches. I want snow!

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i have some, just come and get it.

9:14 am

Haz1558

I will, Scrabbler. To be honest, it's not going to be a huge difference for us, we've been very sparing in outings, mainly just for food shopping and I haven't had anybody through my door for months.

9:14 am

LuvWordGames

I heard about Binghamton-that's lot of snow! I was curious because I ordered a Christmas gift from Buffalo Puzzles and it hasn't left the area yet

9:14 am

Haz1558

Apart from my daughter who's home from London, she took a test before flying home.

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

i do want to go to Nj for the day,but between the virus and the iffy weather...

9:15 am

hokie carla

was 29F when I took Winston out this a.m. rain gauge is frozen again. I go through 1-2 a year. if only I could remember to empty it every night.

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

i ordered a new christmas tree. it will arrive 30 december.

9:16 am

hokie carla

you can put it up til old christmas

9:16 am

Haz1558

It can be your New Year's tree. Or will you just put it away ready for Christmas 2021?

9:16 am

72 Temple Owl

no, i have the ceramic tree. that will have to do.

9:16 am

hokie carla

can I have a hint for that el6? not finding it.

9:17 am

hokie carla

nm

9:17 am

hokie carla

peri-d it

9:17 am

Haz1558

el plus what a butler carries drinks on.

9:17 am

Haz1558

Mixed up.

9:17 am

Haz1558

Too late!

9:17 am

hokie carla

thx anyway :D

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

i will test it then store it. the base of the old one won't light. thought about putting it up with external lights, but it drop needles and i am just tired of it.

9:18 am

LuvWordGames

thanks Haz

9:18 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Luv.

9:18 am

hokie carla

now just missing one E from top one to gray out 1st col

9:18 am

Haz1558

An artifical tree that doesn't light up and sheds needles is the worst of both worlds.

9:18 am

hokie carla

yeah, might as well have a real one in that case

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

and the old one is 7 parts, the new one three.

9:20 am

Haz1558

It sounds a much more suitable tree.

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i am now watching how to cooka turkey breast in a dutch oven. eager to try this

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

it's a table top, 4.5 in

9:21 am

hokie carla

I bought a flocked one last year for my hokie ornaments, and boy, does that make a mess. but it is 3 parts and you don't have to hook the lights together, you just stick the post in and it's connected.

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

sort of wanted taller, but it's manageable.

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

and was highly rated.

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

you have a whole tree of va tevh ornaments?

9:22 am

hokie carla

yep

9:22 am

Haz1558

It helps when you can see what other people have thought of it.

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

no, i just bought it. it may cost less later, but at this point what am i spending money on? nothing.

9:23 am

hokie carla

I used to have a bright orange artificial tree for that, but the stand broke and I couldn't fix it. can't really find the orange trees anymore.

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

how about spraying a white one?

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

would look like it had snow

9:24 am

hokie carla

we have a huge xmas show here every year, The Southern Christmas Show, (except for this year) and every year I buy 2-3 new VT ornaments. even have a VT star and tree skirt now.

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

wow carla, i googled orange christmas trees and a bunch came up!

9:26 am

hokie carla

yeah, I started with a 3' orange one then moved to a 6' one, and they both came from a store here called Garden Ridge. I think they didn't have any last year when I needed it so I bought this other at Target. When it needs replacing I will look online with plenty of time to get it.

9:27 am

Haz1558

Why orange? To match decor?

9:27 am

hokie carla

VT colors are orange and maroon, so the ornaments are all those 2 colors

9:28 am

Haz1558

VT? I will have to google, this is all new information.

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

wow you are loyal!

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

VA tech. hokies!

9:29 am

hokie carla

virginia tech, where I went to university. we are the Hokies, hence my name.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Ah, light dawns.

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i knew a hokie engineer.

9:30 am

hokie carla

We have a great engineering school. but I did accounting. :D

9:31 am

hokie carla

TO, I knew quite a few folks from NJ and some from PA when I was there. apparently it was cheaper for them to go there than in their own states.

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

may be. i only know one person who went there,a met through work at artsquest/musikfest.

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i need to get moving. thinking i will bake today.

9:34 am

hokie carla

yumm

9:34 am

hokie carla

I guess a henley is a proper noun?

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

has anyone ever made millionaire shortbread? it's like a twix bar

9:34 am

hokie carla

ah, enable

9:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, TO, I have.

9:35 am

hokie carla

sounds amazing. I used to love Twix bars. but I have not.

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

mmmmm

9:35 am

Haz1558

The difficult bit is the caramel, you just have to be careful and watch it doesn't overdo.

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

it's kind of a futile exercise to bake if not visiting.

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

i am watching it being made now.

9:36 am

hokie carla

that's why I haven't really made any candy this year

9:36 am

Haz1558

My mother made them but they had the much less fancy title for years of 'Caramel Squares.'

9:36 am

hokie carla

haha

9:36 am

Haz1558

They had caramel and were cut in squares. Not good enough for today's marketing.

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, yes. waht used to be routine cooking our forebears made is now elevated.

9:38 am

Haz1558

Some of the descriptions on menus are interesting. Hand crushed potatoes, that kind of thing.

9:38 am

hokie carla

yeah, my mom has made chess squares for years that are now ooey-gooey bars or whatever

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

ah yes, smashed potatoes. for those too lazy to peel them.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh, chess pie! i 've made that- you can't get them in any gas station around these parts!

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

lemon chess. heaven.

9:40 am

hokie carla

I think chess pie is different than chess squares. it's basically a cake mix where bottom layer is cake-like and top layer is mixed with cream cheese so it that's the gooey.

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds like what we call butter cake.

9:41 am

hokie carla

yes! paula deen calls it ooey-gooey butter cake. I knew I was leaving a word out earlier.

9:41 am

Haz1558

Goodness knows what Nigella Lawson would call them.

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

she is a pip

9:42 am

hokie carla

wonder if the lady on great british baking show would ever make that?

9:42 am

Haz1558

I have never seen anybody be so impressed by their own cooking.

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

have you ever had smearcase? it's a baltimore area thing. i like it

9:43 am

hokie carla

I have never heard of that, so no

9:43 am

hokie carla

just googled. interesting.

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i love that show! those bakers are so accomplished. but that;s how it is now. it's not enough to be a good cook, you have to be extraordinary.

9:43 am

Haz1558

Smearcake/case needs to be described.

9:44 am

hokie carla

I know, they are very impressive on that show.

9:44 am

Haz1558

I don't watch Bake Off any more, once it switched channels and lost Mary Berry I just didn't have the same interest. It was beginning to annoy me though that the stuff they bake is so far out of the normal baker's comfort zone.

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

https://tinyurl.com/ydehtb4w

9:45 am

Haz1558

I used to learn from the segments of information about the things they were planning to bake but it got beyond me.

9:45 am

Haz1558

They don't make caramel squares, that's for sure.

9:45 am

hokie carla

yeah, I just catch it occasionally on PBS and I noticed Mary was not on there anymore.

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, and i am finding paul and his perpetual tan more and more annoying.

9:46 am

hokie carla

Haha, he does seem pretty tan

9:46 am

good morning MLF and all

9:50 am

Haz1558

Smearcase reminds me of a pie that my mother used to make but it had a pastry base. Imaginatively entitled 'egg tart'.

9:51 am

Haz1558

I have quite a few Mary Berry recipe books. Her recipes are very dependable.

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, and it is not sold refrigerated.

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

it is very good. not as rich as the NY cheesecake we make.

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

not quite custard, not quite cheesecake.

hokie carla

I did watch Friends but do not remember the answer

12:02 pm

Ga6/30 is it too early to ask for the 3rd letter?

12:04 pm
