8:17 am

MollyL

That herb is extremely overpowering. Whenever I chop it, my hands smell like it for hours, even after scrubbing them. I only use it for fresh salsa.

8:18 am

MollyL

I can't imagine putting it in everything, that sounds gross to me.

8:20 am

BzznBea

Next time after you are done weashing your hands, rub your hands on the stainless steel faucet. Helps to take away the smell.

8:20 am

MollyL

I love those "weird, but they work" tips. Thanks.

8:27 am

saanichcat

thanks for the tip Bea, not too sure if it will improve my liking for the stuff or not!

8:28 am

BzznBea

Works with onion smell as well.

8:34 am

9:47 am

moolingwa

and I haven't found any 7s or 8s yet, so that's a bit concerning

9:48 am

moolingwa

HOET

9:49 am

cybernan

one of the 8's was just clued - have them all if you waqnt the stats, just 2 x 7 though

9:49 am

cybernan

but it's such a lovely word :)

9:53 am

hurshy

well no because i at least got it without a clue :)

9:53 am

hokie carla

my clue was it's easy

9:53 am

hurshy

think pee, as usual, for U words

9:53 am

hurshy

right well i don't think of "it's easy" as a clue

9:54 am

moolingwa

ah, another 7

9:54 am

hurshy

just a warning that you don't want a clue

9:54 am

9:59 am

hurshy

well, they do have in7s in Catholic churches, but maybe they just don't bother listing them in the builletin

10:00 am

MollyL

Catholic church bulletins are for news and prayer requests, not parts of the service

10:00 am

hurshy

ah, protestant ones usually have both an order of service and those other things also

10:02 am

moolingwa

retorical - to ask a question about donuts that requires no answer

10:33 am

jmcnrick

Not sure "works for a living" is great. I want a sugardaddy

10:33 am

hurshy

well, it may not be great, but at least it is complimentary to say that someone is hard-working

10:33 am

hurshy

full of woe, there's no good way to spin that

10:34 am

jmcnrick

full of woe means you are empathetic. ..

10:34 am

MollyL

Not exactly

10:34 am

hurshy

i don't think it means that, but nice try, lol

10:34 am

jmcnrick

nothing in works for a living to prove I am hard working!

10:35 am

Biltong

Happy Birthday hurshy :-)

10:35 am

hurshy

i thought it said "works hard for a living"

10:35 am

MollyL

You could say being full of woe is better than being full of shit 😁

10:36 am

hurshy

thank you biltong

Cake and ice cream in the PB. And perhaps a game of Pin the Tail on the Enable Word List Maker

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

42 c words!

10:40 am

jmcnrick

whoohoo and i didn't even spill the words!

10:41 am

jmcnrick

What kind of cake? Is there vanilla ice cream?

10:42 am

hurshy

ty une

10:42 am

hurshy

crazy cake, which is a chocolate cake

10:42 am

hurshy

it is called crazy cake because it has no eggs, no butter... it's a depression-era recipe i believe

10:43 am

MollyL

I'll pass on cake make with no eggs and vinegar

10:43 am

hurshy

it's really quite good and moist

10:43 am

MollyL

And no butter? Horrors

10:44 am

hurshy

my mom has made it ever since i was a kid

10:44 am

hurshy

you truly would not notice any difference from any other chocolate cake

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

crazy cake is great. truly a miracle. especially with vanilla ice cream

10:44 am

jmcnrick

I have had it. My niece makes it and it is woooooonderful

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

it's not some new vegan hippie thing. apologies to any babbling vegan hippies. ;)

10:45 am

dcseain

I’ve made it, it’s really lovely.

10:45 am

jmcnrick

surprisingly rich

10:45 am

jmcnrick

only a hippie, not vegan

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

it's moist and chocolaty

10:45 am

hurshy

it is vegan, except i usually put on icing which is made with milk, so then it isn't anymore

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

hahahahaq

10:45 am

hurshy

but it's only incidentally vegan

10:46 am

cherlyq

I have made both crazy cake and Mayonaise cake and they are both good but I liked crazy cake better, now I am gluten free though so those days are past

10:46 am

MollyL

Yeah, well there are people who say fried okra is good, so everything is relative

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl

i usually put on powdered sugar.

10:46 am

hurshy

that wasn't the point,the point was to have cake when you couldn't get eggs and butter

10:47 am

hurshy

ew, i hate okra

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

and so it is better for you. i use cider vinegar in mine. and you can have cake quickly using staples. with eggs so high

10:48 am

hurshy

it is better for you except i tend to eat a giant piece lol

10:49 am

jmcnrick

I love fried okra and most people who come to my bbq saying they hate okra walk away not hating it. . . and some even like it.

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

i made the cake for my vegan friends at the philly folk fest. they love it. cannot believe it's vegan

10:49 am

cherlyq

depends on who makes it

10:49 am

dcseain

you make very, very good fried okra, and i always enjoy it, jmc

10:50 am

hurshy

i bet nobody can guess what song i woke up with in my head today

10:50 am

dcseain

10:51 am

hurshy

10:51 am

hurshy

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh thanks for that ear worm

10:51 am

MollyL

My Name Is Luca

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

MollyL

10:52 am

jmcnrick

"A very unbirthday to you"?

10:52 am

hurshy

72 Temple Owl

jimmy web or richard harris?

10:53 am

jmcnrick

"Born free"

10:53 am

MollyL

Well I'm out because that probably means it is something from Les MIserables

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

hair. walking in space. let the sunshine in

10:53 am

hurshy

nope

10:53 am

jmcnrick

10:54 am

hurshy

ooh molly is on the right track!

10:54 am

jmcnrick

Who will buy this wonderful morning?

10:55 am

hurshy

it was Javert's Suicide

10:56 am

jmcnrick

ugh!

10:56 am

hurshy

it's a great song! lol

10:57 am

hurshy

i wonder what would have happened if he could have encountered the bishop at that moment though

10:57 am

jmcnrick

One Day More?

10:57 am

hurshy

i wonder if the bishop could have gotten through to him

10:57 am

hurshy

One Day More is also a great song

10:59 am

jmcnrick

never saw Les Miserables either

10:59 am

dcseain

It’s fun, the i like the original French version better.

11:00 am

dcseain

though i like…

11:00 am

jmcnrick

French would be lost on me

11:01 am

MollyL

I can see JMC and I watching the French version with blank looks on our faces. Then cutting out for drinks at the bar across the street.

11:02 am

Shirlockc

who would buy = oliver!

11:02 am

hurshy

well i believe the musical was originally in english, and then translated into french, the opposite of the novel itself!

11:02 am

Shirlockc

11:03 am

hurshy

me too, shirl! i've seen it twice live. in London and San Francisco

11:04 am

jmcnrick

oooops Molls

11:05 am

MollyL

You people are high rollers if you can afford theater tickets multiple times.

11:05 am

jmcnrick

I saw Oliver at my son's Junior High.

11:05 am

hurshy

well, the first time, it was paid for by someone else

11:06 am

jmcnrick

mea culpa Oliver!

11:06 am

MollyL

11:08 am

dcseain
