sprite

good morning, seain

2:00 am

dcseain

hello, sprite

2:00 am

dcseain

phante suture

2:03 am

dcseain

i think of my friend Rh4 Perlman every time that bird is in the grid.

2:03 am

sprite

nice reminder

2:03 am

dcseain

i remember when i first saw one at the zoo.

2:04 am

dcseain

it is!

2:05 am

sprite

recently the word 'ywis' was in the grid again. Always makes me happy. It is so awesome that the Dutch obsolete word 'gewis' has its equivalent in english.

2:05 am

dcseain

small whorled pagonia is the rarest flower in North America.

2:06 am

dcseain

how lowely, sprite!

2:06 am

dcseain

the flower came to mind as worl is in the grid.

2:06 am

sprite

learned something else fun recently. Do you know what a kangaroo word is?

2:07 am

dcseain

i do! i recently rewatched a video about them on YouTube.

2:07 am

sprite

I love that kind of language oddities.

2:09 am

dcseain

Each languages has some, but yes. i love the Spanish as El diccionario de dudas — the Dictionary of doubts. It covers things like haber/haver, de/dé and many more things that are easily confused.

2:09 am

dcseain

b/v are pronounced the same in Spanish.

2:10 am

sprite

I like contronyms too. So odd, how the meaning of a word can be its own opposite. Love it.

2:11 am

dcseain

read/read as present and past of with different vowel sounds in English is one that takes a while to teach to learners.

2:12 am

dcseain

tampoco is a favorite of mine in Spanish — not me too. opposite of también — me too.

2:12 am

sprite

yeah but that's no contronym, just different sound for same

2:13 am

dcseain

yes, not the same at all.

2:15 am

dcseain

they’ve salted the sidewalks and pretreated tho roads we may get freezing rain and snow tonight.

2:16 am

dcseain

morning, ishult. Nice to see you

2:18 am

dcseain

this grid is as full of Spanish as English words, which makes it slow going for me.

2:19 am

sprite

I keep seeing Luther, the German theologist, very important man in dutch protestantism. Somehow, it distracts me. But almost done.

2:20 am

dcseain

oh. for an i for luthier

9:11 am

hokie carla

9:11 am

hurshy

i googled french vaudeville and got Sandow Trocadero but i can't make a word that rhymes with either

9:12 am

penquis

think of Wilkomen, bienvenue, welcome.... ;o)

9:12 am

hokie carla

I know the french words of moulin rouge

9:12 am

penquis

think of american musical hit...

9:12 am

phaeton

that's the one moulin rouge

9:12 am

phaeton

Liza Minnelli starred in it

9:13 am

penquis

joel grey...

9:13 am

hokie carla

yes, there was a movie

9:14 am

penquis

9:14 am

hokie carla

ok, maybe I"m thinking of something else

9:14 am

Sugrraleona

i'm on another planet, not gettiing the clues at all

9:14 am

hurshy

i wouldn't have thought of that as vaudeville but maybe i do not know how it was originally

9:14 am

hokie carla

lol, was thinking of chicago with CZJ

9:14 am

hurshy

the movie ca7

9:14 am

hokie carla

but liza minelli did the trick

9:15 am

hurshy

well that was an adventure

9:15 am

penquis

sugrra....do a search for Wilkomen and it comes up....the ca word ...

9:15 am

hurshy

now i just need one more T from there and one from the top middle

9:15 am

hokie carla

but yes, there was a 1972 movie with LM and the guy that played Tybalt

9:16 am

Sugrraleona

I thought we were on the ta7 and ta8? I'm confused LOL LOL

9:16 am

hokie carla

yes

9:16 am

Sugrraleona

I'm trying to follow the bouncing ball

9:16 am

penquis

yes, but change the C to a T...

9:16 am

hurshy

ta7 rhymes with the movie Ca7 (not in grid)

9:16 am

Sugrraleona

ooooh, ok, I'll think now

9:16 am

hokie carla

probably Liza's most famous role?

9:17 am

hurshy

and ca7 sounds a lot like a kind of wine that's ca8, just that would have an N stuck in it

9:17 am

hokie carla

just found an amy winehouse song

9:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

no no no

9:19 am

hokie carla

yep, that one

9:22 am

penquis

finally found those first column Rs...

9:23 am

penquis

9:23 am

hurshy

oh, what are they pen, i was just about to comment about not seeing those

9:23 am

hokie carla

9:23 am

penquis

10:02 am

hokie carla

hurshy, being a non-southerner you probably won't know either, but I am making sausage balls and what my mom called chess squares but paula deen calls ooey gooey butter cakes

10:03 am

hokie carla

now off to dollar general in hopes of cream cheese so I don't have to drive all the way to town!

10:03 am

rururocks

racist cakes?

10:10 am

penquis

well i am down to 59...time for a break....bye all....

10:10 am

rururocks

10:17 am

maccafixx

ca 7/36?

10:30 am

hurshy

i have heard of the latter hokie, they used to serve them sometimes in my college dining halls

10:34 am

BzznBea

Ooey gooey butte cake is a St. Louis thing

10:34 am

hurshy

well they called them chess squares in the dining hall

10:35 am

hurshy

i never tried them bc i didn't know what they would taste like and i might not like them

10:36 am

hurshy

now if they had been calling them ooey gooey butter cakes i probably would have tried them

10:37 am

hurshy

so now we can answer bill's question "what's in a name?"

10:38 am

Gitel

Carl

10:39 am

hurshy

i was positing recently that someone could have had identical twin boys sometime in the last 25 years and named them that and joey and that if nobody had, i hoped someone soon would

10:42 am

hurshy

maccafixx - christmas song + you & me together is...

10:42 am

hurshy

wasn't ignoring you before, i only just found it

10:43 am

hurshy

Os Overcome!

10:43 am

hokie carla

rehi - there was also chess something else that are different. but if you google ooey gooey butter cakes, the recipe is identical to my mom's chess squares.

10:44 am

hurshy

chess pie? i think i've heard of that

10:45 am

hokie carla

maybe

10:45 am

FrenchToast

I've had that ooey gooey butter cake, it is awesome

10:45 am

hurshy

does the cream cheese go in the chess squares tho? i don't like cream cheese, but i do like cheesecake anyway, so depending on how the thing ends up tasting i might or might not like it

10:45 am

hokie carla

yeah, just cake mix, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter. not sure what is not to like there.

10:46 am

hokie carla

the cake mix is the bottom layer, and the cream cheese is mixed with the powdered sugar and baked on the top

10:46 am

hokie carla

they aren't that ooey gooey in my mind

10:46 am

hurshy

cream cheese, it's one of those dairy products that has a kick. like yogurt, which i also dislike. i prefer not to be kicked by cows or their output.

10:47 am

hokie carla

similar texture to a cheesecake after baking IMO

10:47 am

hokie carla

not as tangy/tart due to the powdered sugar

10:47 am

hurshy

yeah if the sugar overcomes the kick then that's ok

10:48 am

hokie carla

I'm making them in mini cupcake pans for individual servings

10:48 am

hurshy

so chess circles

10:48 am

hurshy

that is a lot more work tho

10:49 am

hokie carla

not really that much more

10:50 am

hurshy

i have had to buy multiple kitchen tools just to be able to dispense batter into cupcake tins without making a huge mess, so...

10:50 am

hurshy

i'm very bad at it

10:52 am

hokie carla

btw, using a spice cake mix instead of yellow

10:54 am

hurshy

i made gingerbread yesterday

10:54 am

hokie carla

nice, I have never actually made gingerbread

10:55 am

hurshy

the Joy of Cooking has two recipes for it, both good. old fashioned gb and applesauce gb (i didn't have any applesauce in the house so i made the first one this time)

10:56 am

hokie carla

I probably have never made it because I don't particularly like it

10:56 am

hurshy

well yes that would be a reason

10:57 am

hurshy

phantom: walrus

10:59 am

hurshy

but i thought spice cake would be similar to gingerbread so i am sort of surprised you don't like one if you like the other

11:00 am

hokie carla

hmm

11:01 am

hurshy

unless it is specifically ginger, maybe spice cake has other spices but not that?

11:01 am

hokie carla

I found this GF spice cake mix somewhere and bought it because I can never find other flavors of GF cake mixes.

11:02 am

hurshy

oh

11:02 am

hurshy

i see

11:02 am

hokie carla

I think of like cinnamon and nutmeg but will look...

11:02 am

hurshy

my sister doesn't like cinnamon and i find that so hard to comprehend

11:03 am

hokie carla

cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. also molasses powder so maybe not too far off. I'm sure I would like iced gingerbread

11:03 am

hokie carla

that is hard to comprehend, agreed

11:03 am

hurshy

i don't ice it, i have it with whipped cream

11:03 am

hurshy

can also be nice to spread some apple butter on it and then add the whipped cream

11:04 am

hokie carla

that would be okay too. I think my issue with plain gingerbread is it's just plain and I don't really like the texture so would rather eat other sweets.

11:04 am

hurshy

the texture is just ordinary cake texture. but yeah and the nice thing about whipped cream is you can add as much or as little as you like so it is individually adjustable

11:06 am

hokie carla

okay, I think I'm thinking of gingerbread cookies then

11:06 am

hokie carla

I don't remember ever having something cake like

11:07 am

hurshy

yeah i don't think the cookies are quite as good

11:07 am

hurshy

they're ok but the cake is what i prefer

11:07 am

hurshy

and of course cookies are MORE WORK!

11:07 am

hurshy

lol

11:08 am

hokie carla

yeah, I love cookies, but not gingerbread ones

11:09 am

hurshy

30 words left

11:09 am

12:21 pm

BzznBea

I thought enable allowed the fish oscar. Wrong again.

12:23 pm

cybernan

agreed - the ab 9 is an impossible condition

12:32 pm

hokie carla

nope, bea. I have complained about that many times

12:33 pm

hokie carla

okay, my mini ooey gooey cakes were a failure. should have stuck with a pan and cut into bars. that's why you plan on making 2 things for a party!

12:33 pm

hokie carla

but they still taste delish, so I guess we'll just have to eat them.

12:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

carla?

12:57 pm

hokie carla

TO?

12:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you make butter cake?

12:58 pm

hokie carla

well, I made what I know as chess squares and paula deen made famous as ooey gooey butter cake, not sure if your question of butter cake is the same.

12:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

kindd of a crackly top with ozzy stud unerneath

1:00 pm

hokie carla

yeah

1:00 pm

hokie carla

mine was still way too jiggly so I left it in longer and it spread out of the cups

1:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

okay probably not the same. it is a philly thing by way of germany

1:01 pm

BzznBea

What is butter cake, TO?

1:02 pm

hokie carla

according to bea and the internet, this was started in STL, but I don't know the provenance of my mom's chess squares recipe.

1:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:05 pm

hokie carla

1:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:05 pm

hokie carla

we are getting some crazy winds right now

1:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

and it very well may be out of the midwest, lots of german immigrants there

1:06 pm

hokie carla

I also object to wo6. it's just wo5!

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

last sunday made lots of kiffles cookies for our staging party

1:07 pm

BzznBea

Interesting that it uses yeast in the base.

1:07 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I thought so too, bea

1:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. i remember making german plum cake without yeast but saw recipes for the same thing with yeast in cake base

1:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

butter cake is way too rich for my taste.

1:12 pm

hokie carla

crazy talk

1:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

you've never tasted it.

1:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am finding lately that things are too sweet

1:13 pm

hokie carla

ok, these don't look terrible with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. I will put them in the fridge for a while to cool them the rest of the way and see how they are after cooled.

1:14 pm

hokie carla

I'm one of these people who don't think cadbury creme eggs are too rich.

there is a wo5 that isn't really a word, I think.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

yes, see my post below

1:39 pm

hokie carla

wait, I was talking about wo6

1:53 pm

ChampFit

Back to hopefully finish this sucker.

1:54 pm

MollyL

All the wo5s are words

1:58 pm

MollyL

wo4/8 and its 5 plural have two meanings. One is plant related and the other is beer making related

1:59 pm

MollyL

wo6 flew for Shakespeare but is generally frowned upon today

2:14 pm

sajarn

phantom: albatross

2:14 pm

ChampFit

Good one!

2:21 pm

cybernan

not sure that the as 8 is a word either

2:24 pm

cybernan

stats for the left r please?

2:25 pm

MollyL

ro6/18

2:26 pm

ChampFit

It's weird for sure. Pretty sure that R is the ro6/18 and ro 8/40

2:28 pm

cybernan

don't have them, so probably - clue?

2:30 pm

ChampFit

Starts like the 6/18 before it, ends in a vowel

2:30 pm

FrenchToast

ro + suck drink through a ****w is the ro6

2:30 pm

ChampFit

SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY CLUE! :)

2:30 pm

cybernan

yes I found the 6, ty -- looking for the 8 now

2:31 pm

ChampFit

The 8 is an extension of that...

2:31 pm

FrenchToast

Then add 2 letters for the 8

2:32 pm

cybernan

ty FT - new one for me

2:32 pm

FrenchToast

me too nan!

2:34 pm

FrenchToast

I must be hallucinating because the Commanders are beating the Giants? I'm sure they will find a way to lose though.

2:35 pm

ChampFit

We just switched to Chargers/Chiefs. Our Texans are up by 20

2:35 pm

cybernan

need to take a break - maybe have some lunch

2:36 pm

BzznBea

Whats the score there, champ?

2:36 pm

ChampFit

Chargers 16 Chiefs 13

2:36 pm

BzznBea

Can't get the chiefs on east coast today.

2:36 pm

BzznBea

Thanks

2:37 pm

ChampFit

I'll keep you posted. They're at home...anything can happen! ;)

2:42 pm

hokie carla

well I hadn't even tried as8, because who woulda thunk it

2:43 pm

hokie carla

panther start at 4:30 today, of course when we're at the party

2:43 pm

ChampFit

A guy just got ejected for helmet to helmet contact. One of the Chargers. Outta there!

2:43 pm

hokie carla

sausage balls are in the oven now. I decided the dessert was way too messy to take to a party.

2:43 pm

ChampFit

Thank goodness for cell phone updates though Carla!

2:44 pm

FrenchToast

Yum sausage balls

2:44 pm

ChampFit

Sausage balls are always a big hit.

2:45 pm

FrenchToast

I like the Bisquick version.

2:46 pm

ChampFit

Chargers just picked off the Chiefs in the endzone!

2:46 pm

MollyL

Is there a version other than Bisquick?

2:47 pm

hokie carla

I've only ever seen Bisquick versions. that said, GF Bisquick is not the same as regular, so I usually use some GF pancake mix.

2:48 pm

MollyL

Toast I keep hearing my son cheering and asking him if he has the right game on

2:48 pm

hokie carla

the recipe I make has cream cheese too, which makes them much more moist. or moister if you're an enable guy. the ones I remember from my youth always looked burnt and dry.

2:49 pm

ChampFit

Not to mention, hard to keep together. Cream cheese has to make it easier. Makes sense to me!

2:50 pm

MollyL

Maybe the Redskins have finally figured out how to play a decent game without Jayden

2:56 pm

hokie carla

alrighty, I'm out! be back in 3 hours. LOL.

2:57 pm

FrenchToast

Save me a sausage ball!

2:57 pm

ChampFit

This just in: there's an alt spelling for the melon. Well, I actually didn't find a definition, but that's what it looks like to me.

2:58 pm

BzznBea

Yes, I found those too.

2:58 pm

FrenchToast

3:22 pm

3:22 pm
