It's a semisoft cheese. Similar to paneer and feta.

8:14 am

Jeanius421

I think NJ is the most populated state.

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

Jeanius421

Temple Owl, I agree

8:15 am

BzznBea

I've never met a cheese I didn't like.

8:15 am

welki

yep, it was an agricultural community, the kids raised livestock, including pigs

8:16 am

Jeanius421

BzznBea ever met the cheese that has live maggots in it (Italy)?

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

oh man, i am here trying to dave my calories for the farm. they will e churning their own ice cream today.

8:16 am

Jeanius421

Casu martzu from Sardinia

8:16 am

rururocks

Camembert is the only one I don't care for..

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

the road in to there is still lovely, old houses. in winter i imagine very desolate.

8:17 am

BzznBea

Well, I don't want to eat maggots.

8:17 am

welki

the last house i lived in there was built in 1840

8:18 am

72 Temple Owl

low calorie, high protein

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

well i will be at that festival unless there is a virus issue in nj or ny. they run buses directly from the city up there.

8:19 am

welki

if you've ever traveled through nj to dingman's ferry, pa, my house was right across the street from the layton general store

8:19 am

rururocks

I"ve never really been to NJ other than the airport and Hoboken

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

i was never there, but my uncle hunted near there. you were waaaaay up there!

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

because NJ is so small, everything is packed together, so seems so very industrial. but lovely rural and scenic areas.

8:23 am

rururocks

I always seem to meet Doren in NYC.. so never made it out to her place in NJ

8:23 am

72 Temple Owl

can go from beach to mountains in a couple of hours.

8:24 am

Jeanius421

and farms and forests

8:24 am

rururocks

that sounds like here too.

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

her area is very nice.

8:24 am

MLFAN17

feta cheese is one of my favorite cheeses

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

fan, i recently had a watermelon mint feta salad with a twist. the chunks of feta on top were sprinkled with tajin. it was lovely.

8:26 am

MLFAN17

what is tarjin?

8:26 am

rururocks

that's great combo.. i do a variation of that with Cantaloupe and pickled fennel, mint, basil oil and feta, with anise leaves

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

mexican seasoning. chili lime

8:27 am

MLFAN17

eww no thanks i am not iinto too much spicy stuff

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

nor am i, but it works with the cool watermelon. it's just a hint; there was not much feta in this one

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

and since it was on top, you could control how much you took. a nice easy keeper for a picnic or pot luck

8:29 am

MLFAN17

you should have asked them to put more feta on it

8:29 am

MLFAN17

i am also not a fan of watermelon

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

well then, this dish is not for you. i love watermelon.

8:31 am

MLFAN17

more for you too eat all by yourself👍

8:31 am

BzznBea

I love watermelon too. Unfortunately, my tummy can't tolerate very much.

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

ru that is interesting. i love fennel in all forms. i think it's an acquired taste. recently had it roasted, loverly

8:33 am

MLFAN17

yes i have heard that about melon's being roasted

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i brought it to thanksgiving once. my brother and i were the only ones eating it. with a big meal we always had a digestivo

8:34 am

joym999

I'm gonna need it, ML!

11:08 am

cybernan

thought about that joy - I was close, but rather than ask everyone to figure out what I'm missing, I might as well just list -- it's the same thing when you get down to it

11:08 am

MLFAN17

i needed some help too and am using the list

11:08 am

joym999

Oh, right, forgot to look at the D, of course it's an ID

11:09 am

MLFAN17

joy i am usually going to the right to find most words lol

11:09 am

joym999

Yeh, that's the choice -- list, or bug everyone in the chat. Maybe I should list. Hmmmmmmm

11:09 am

cybernan

io 4, io 5-6, in 6 x2

11:10 am

cybernan

penquis

no problem....

11:20 am

penquis

you're excitement was contagious... ;o)

11:24 am

joym999

I found a compromise between listing and not listing...just looking at the list to see how many of each of the first two letter combos there are, but not actually look at the stats for each word.

11:25 am

ItalianGreyhound

I like to blast through the grid til Im stuck - then the list

11:25 am

FrenchToast

moi aussi

11:25 am

penquis

same here....when it stops being fun, i list...

11:26 am

penquis

the only pseudo listing i do is look at the longest three words before someone clues them... ;o)

11:26 am

joym999

I like it to be a little more challenging.

11:27 am

ItalianGreyhound

todays grid was a blast for me

11:27 am

penquis

nice....i am going slowly because I am watching tennis...

11:28 am

ItalianGreyhound

love the T-bit suffixes! (my word)

11:29 am

penquis

we all play games with ourselves here....we don't list, but we ask for clues....we don't list but we ask for stats....we don't list but we ask what X word we are missing... it boils down to what works for you....

11:30 am

joym999

Exactly, penquis...we all have our little rules that make things funner...

11:30 am

ItalianGreyhound

as long as its fun, its all good

11:30 am

penquis

for sure...

11:30 am

penquis

amen, IG...

11:30 am

sammysmom

11:35 am

joym999

I just want to look at the water and eat lobster every day for a week, so I'm really looking forward to it.

11:36 am

joym999

Maybe Patrick will invite us for tea!

11:36 am

sammysmom

used tl love going home to portland from ohio when the kids were small. we ate all the way- loved the stop at warrens for clams for me and lobster for walter.

11:37 am

joym999

If there's anything in particular you recommend to see in that area, let me know

11:37 am

penquis

Perhaps! He is a native Mainer....and seems very nice....i know someone who babysat him when he was a kid....

11:37 am

joym999

what is warren's, sammysmom?

11:38 am

penquis

nice, mom.....i don't know the restaurants in that area well, but if I hear something, I will let you know....Brunswick has some nice places, too...

11:38 am

penquis

nice, Mom.....Portland is a nice, manageable city... lots of good places to eat....

11:39 am

sammysmom

warrens lobster house was between poirtsmouth nh and kittey me if k recall correctly.. that was almost 60 year ago-lol

11:39 am

penquis

joy....you can go to Land's End....it is the tip of a peninsula...you drive over Orr's Island and Bailey's Island....they are just outside of Brunswick.....the drive is nice....

11:40 am

penquis

I don't get down to Kittery much...

11:40 am

penquis

and if you get rain, you are near Freeport, home of the LL Bean flagship store....open 24/7, 365 days a year....

11:41 am

penquis

Freeport is home of the outlet stores, too...

11:43 am

joym999

Land's End in close in miles from where we're staying, but on a different peninsula. It will be fun to explore.

11:44 am

joym999

LL Bean is open 24/7, seriously?

11:44 am

aslindy

couldn't get the fr5,18 for a long time - until I realized I was trying 6 letter words. *smh*

11:44 am

penquis

yes, it is a little north of you....

11:45 am

sammysmom

my parent were the caretakers flr a wile at the victorian mansion in portland... loved to visit them there. i was born and raised in portlandand went to ohio flr a vacation when i was 17-went back t visit family jkn portland when i was 23 with my progress report -2 kids brn 11 months apart irish twins they were called.

11:45 am

penquis

seriously....has been open all the time forever....they were grandfathered in when there were laws limiting store openings on Sundays....

11:45 am

penquis

LOL, mom.....I went to the Victorian Mansion a couple years ago around Christmas time....very nice....

11:47 am

sammysmom

amd yes, pen the mansion was haunted -mama said.

11:48 am

penquis

heh heh...

11:49 am

penquis

joy....LL Bean had to install locks on their doors at the start of the pandemic....they didn't have any before that because they had been open 24/7 for almost 70 years...

11:49 am

joym999

LOL!

11:49 am

penquis

they are back to 24/7...

11:50 am

sammysmom

i remember ll bean/s as a kid getting fishing stuff for dad

11:51 am

penquis

the reason they went to 24/7 in 1951 was to accommodate sportsmen and fishermen driving through the area at all hours on their way north....

11:54 am

joym999

I had no idea...LL Bean is just clothes to me.

11:55 am

penquis

they started by making boots for sportsmen...they sold 100 pairs the first year and reimbursed all the buyers' money that year because they didn't feel the quality was good enough....

11:57 am

penquis

well i need a break....bbl to finish....bye all....

11:58 am

joym999

thanks for the advice penquis!
