10:17 am

hokie carla

a little mad about the 3 p's

10:18 am

hokie carla

and my R was a babblet, so a little mad about that too

10:19 am

penquis

i am always mad about seeing words on the list that i should have found....and it always happens!

10:19 am

hokie carla

10:20 am

hokie carla

10:27 am

Aloyisius

10:28 am

penquis

10:28 am

hokie carla

I have just this second decided I am going to try to finish a quilt a month this year. have 11 or 12 quilt tops that my grandmother finished that made their way to me. so, I'm going to finish those off and give to my cousins.

10:29 am

gemini_J13

that is a great plan!

10:29 am

Aloyisius

lucky cousins

10:29 am

hokie carla

have had them for a couple of years but seemed overwhelming before. this seems much more manageable.

10:31 am

Aloyisius

I started a baby blanket that turned into a bedspread.. need to finish that and then make a smaller lighter blanket before baby comes in May..

10:31 am

hokie carla

I think each of us already have 2 or 3 quilts she made and finished. these are mostly flannel 9 patch or crazy quilt but there is one double wedding ring that I will keep for myself. :D

10:32 am

hokie carla

so I will probably just keep it simple with stitch in the ditch quilting. though she used to do hand quilting, usually baptist fan.

10:32 am

hokie carla

funny how that happens, Aloy!

10:33 am

Aloyisius

yes, it is a soft yarn but suprisingly heavy.. don't want to smother a little one! DIL wanted a "big" blanket.. oh boy..

10:33 am

hokie carla

I have been saving t-shirts for my boys to make them a t-shirt quilt and it will probably end up much bigger or I need to make 2 or not include all I want to.

10:34 am

hokie carla

Haha. so is that knitting?

10:34 am

Aloyisius

no, crocheting

10:34 am

hokie carla

ah, I don't know how to do either of those

10:35 am

Aloyisius

wish I could sew.. never learned. My mother used to say that she supported the safety pin factory

10:36 am

hokie carla

my mom sewed but mostly clothes, she never learned to quilt. I took a class as an adult and learned how to sew.

10:37 am

Aloyisius

ah so.. a great hobby if you enjoy it..

10:37 am

hokie carla

I'm sure she or my grandmother would have taught me had I been interested back then. :D

10:37 am

penquis

i was always afraid of the sewing machine... :o0

10:38 am

Aloyisius

I can see why, pen..

10:39 am

rururocks

I should probably needle you about that pen

10:40 am

penquis

you are SEW predictable, ru...

10:40 am

Aloyisius

lol pen!

10:40 am

penquis

can't find my last word even though i know the first three letters....annoying or what?!

10:41 am

penquis

i am done....finally....

10:41 am

Uneaixoise

Congrats!

10:42 am

hokie carla

I have had needles break and fly at my face. have also stuck my finger when putting the needle down a couple of times.

10:42 am

hokie carla

well done, pen!

10:42 am

hokie carla

and we will give you a small tiara today

10:43 am

Aloyisius

yay pen, congrats! I have to scoot, will bbl to finish.. happy babbling :-)

10:43 am

penquis

my mother once worked for a tailor...she made a lot of my clothes and playthings (like a quiver for my arrows)....she tried to teach me but I resisted....

10:43 am

penquis

*looking mighty fine wearing my tiara*.....

10:44 am

penquis

bye aloy...

10:45 am

rururocks

you have me in stitches pen

10:47 am

penquis

11:59 am

HarryHood

40 to go. I'm listing.

11:59 am

HarryHood

40 to go. I'm listing.

12:00 pm

12:00 pm

HarryHood

wow carla. That's right up there with never having eaten eggplant.

12:01 pm

hurshy

i haven't seen woody allen films either

12:01 pm

hurshy

io6?

HarryHood

holy cow

12:03 pm

hokie carla

he was before our time

12:03 pm

hokie carla

io6 and on5 were my last 2 and they are the same word but add a letter to one, obvi

12:03 pm

hurshy

yeah, by the time i was old enough to watch his movies, there was a cloud of suspicion over him

12:03 pm

HarryHood

we watched his movies as little kids. my parents were big fans.

12:04 pm

HarryHood

not always totally appropriate...

12:04 pm

hurshy

ty hokie

12:04 pm

hokie carla

I bet my parents never saw any either

12:04 pm

hokie carla

new york is so far culturally from them

12:05 pm

hurshy

they held your interest as a little kid?? i didn't think they would be able to do such a thing

12:05 pm

HarryHood

yes I guess it's a ny thing

12:05 pm

HarryHood

his older movies are very slapsticky. take the money and run, sleeper

12:05 pm

HarryHood

they can be enjoyed on different levels.

12:05 pm

hurshy

ah

12:06 pm

hokie carla

he's too sketchy in my book to watch them now

12:06 pm

cybernan

never thought he was very funny - but then I'm not a fan of slapstick either.

12:07 pm

doseffing

try Midnight in Paris ... with Owen Wilson .... a very nice romantic comedy ... almost not a Woody Allen film

12:14 pm

HarryHood

3 to go. all 7s.

12:14 pm

cybernan

is woody allen in it?

12:15 pm

doseffing

... a very supporting role ... he direected and produced

12:16 pm

cybernan

I will have a look if it ever comes on TV -- I just don't get his sense of humour

12:17 pm

HarryHood

for his older stuff it's all about his neurotic behavior. kind of like the george costanza character on seinfeld

12:17 pm

doseffing

... This is my favourite of the three movies he did in Europe (London, Paris, Rome) in the 2000s ... very different from his seventies stuff

12:18 pm

HarryHood

done. thanks to the log and morewords...

12:18 pm

HarryHood

I also like hannah and her sisters

12:20 pm

doseffing

... that one too ... it got Michael Caine his Oscar as I remember

12:25 pm

cybernan

down to 14 and just typing letters whether they make sense or not --- not a fun grid -- hagd everyone, stay safe :-)

12:27 pm

sukee

I am a bit late to the conversation, I love Woody Allen movies, was a huge fan in the 70s. I love Midnight in Paris. I am a fan of the Lost Generation of writers and they figured prominently in it.

Well, so far I'm impressed with the air fryer. I did some ham and cheese crescent dough pockets for lunch and we just tried some frozen mozzarella sticks. Both turned out very well.

2:33 pm

NANCY

MOLLY, what kind of air fryer did you get. I am looking at getting one soon.

2:42 pm

NANCY

anyone have a recommendation for a brand of air fryer?

2:49 pm

MollyL

I got the Ninja 4 quart because it's just two of us. I recommend something larger if you are cooking for a larger family.

3:26 pm

NANCY

I am looking at the cuisinart small size because it is just me. Thanks for the input.

3:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i would love to try one but i have no counter space.

3:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am considering a small rice cooker. it makes hot cereal and holds it. too.

3:55 pm

MollyL

I have no counter space either. I have to schlep these kinds of appl9ances out of storage when I want to use them.

3:56 pm

MollyL

Or appliances

3:57 pm

NANCY

I am considering getting one to save on turning on the oven to cook chicken for just me. I dont have a lot of counter space but could fit the one I am thinking of to stay permanently on the counter.

3:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

a moron designed this kitchen.

3:58 pm

NANCY

Would like to make bacon easily too and veggies as well. Would be nice not to heat up a big oven for just that.

3:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was buying rice frozen but the price has gone up so much... and cooking it from scratch is less wasteful.

3:59 pm

NANCY

Molly, did you use the recipe book for the things you have made so far?

3:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i imagine if you have a family who all eat oatmeal it is very handy.

4:01 pm
