good day mi'Lady, Sandy, flosey, fan, the good Dr and anyone else I've missed...didn't finish the last one, so I probabaly won;t try this one...I'll blame it on the IE...when I use Babble Expert, it's through IE, but when i just monkey around I'm using Mozilla firefox, and the two don't compare...I'm much faster with Firefox....

Turnip/Sweet Potato Casserole or Apple
This is an altered recipe I cut from a magazine many years ago.

2 lbs. turnips, peeled and sliced in 1/4" slices
2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4" slices
salt and pepper as you like
1 cup apple juice
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 tbsp. chopped parsley - or cilantro

Preheat oven to 400F
Butter 2 quart baking dish
Arrange layers of turnip and sweet potato slices, overlapping slightly, alternating.
salt and pepper lightly as you go.
Pour the apple juice over this.
Top with crumb mixture:
Melt the butter, stir in bread crumbs, pecans and
chopped parsley (or cilantro)
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake until vegetables are tender and top is golden - about another 20-23 minutes.
I have substituted sliced apples in place of turnip.
Goes well with ham or turkey.

We don't have those around here. Almost all chestnut trees in the US were killed years ago in a great blight, and have yet to come back. I remember them when I was a kid, but no more.

al8 causes change - try to change and picnic pest

6:11 am

Merk

I finally had to go to the list.

6:12 am

Eva

berri-maybe when you last played there wasn't a list?

6:12 am

Merk

ty; this is a fun grid. I won't finish it, but I'll love doing as much as I can

6:12 am

berri - do you know about Licketys Babble Clues - see link at bottom of page

6:12 am

thanks lyn

6:12 am

Eva

If you go to Lickety's babble clues you'll find it

6:12 am

thanks I remember lickitys, it helps a lot, i had forgotten all about it.

6:13 am

***God bless Lickety***

6:13 am

tyvm lynxxx

6:13 am

lynxxx

Berri - see instructions at the bottom of Licketys list for "Bulk Add" - a great help and time saver - & easy!

6:15 am

Merk

I have never figured out how to use the Bulk Add. I'm too dense.

6:17 am

ardilla

ty for the 9s

6:17 am

lynxxx

its really easy Merk. If you use a mouse just select/copy all the words (including letters & Points - doesn't matter) on "my Word List" - then paste into the box at the bottom of Lickety's list.

6:18 am

Merk

This is where I am dense. Why would I want to do that?

6:19 am

LoriP

Hey, you can put a vowel on the end of that ci 7. Who knew.

6:19 am

lynxxx

You can do it by section again and again which I really like if I am just doing say one letter

6:23 am

herinfernallady

that doesn't help

6:24 am

sandyloo

where is this babble expert lynxx

6:24 am

herinfernallady

Yes it did thank you. I just had a spider on me

6:26 am

lynxxx

Sandy - You are pro so you can email Lickety (see email address on his list) requesat and he will send it to you (not sure how busy he is so may take a wee while)

6:26 am

FMitch

sandy you have to email lickety and he will sendl it to you

6:26 am

LoriP

***Babble Expert rocks, all hail Lickety***

6:27 am

Oh...husband has got a Roux Bros cookbook

That sounds like it might be even too complex for a computor expert like me

6:27 am

Its easy easy to insta Sandy - even I can do it

7:49 am

Ardilla, given that she is good Mum to the other children, maybe having twins felt too much for her and now she may not be well, hence the current difficulties which could be be compounded by her Mother.

7:50 am

ardilla

i guess that could be a possibility but i can't forgive her for being so spitefully now

7:50 am

ardilla

*spiteful

7:51 am

ardilla

she doesn't want hayden but she won't let the dad have him either (they're divorcing now because of everything she put him though for the last 6-7 months)

Hi all. I thought I'd be glad a a big grid today but Other Half is in hospital having an operation and I really can't concentrate. I was going to wait there but he went in at 1pm and isn't expected to be ready until at least 6pm, so I came home. Think I'll have to do something practical to keep my mind occupied - ironing, cleaning hutches or something. Might BBL to finish.

1:52 pm

stidmama

if something can be "hetero" then why not "heteric" the quality of being the same; see boring, dull.

1:53 pm

stidmama

oh no -- wait, that's the other way round isn't it??? LOL I have PLENTY of sleep last night. that's probably the problem.

1:53 pm

sprite

Caya is going on being better, she is going to school for half days, still very tired, but improving. I am still very ill from that ugly virus. Tim is doing great. And my hubby is a bit overtaxed because I am ill, but we see to it he has time for relaxation and he is managing.

1:53 pm

sprite

that would be homeric, lol, and that has quite a different meaning

1:54 pm

stidmama

good for all of you, sprite! so glad caya is back to school, even for part time. Wishing you were back to normal already though

1:54 pm

stidmama

or "peteric" the quality of being pete-like

1:55 pm

sprite

Caya couldn't be happier :) She so loves school.

2:16 pm

EvaNadine

funnily enough, im not much for beer...but i love the atmosphere there

2:16 pm

stidmama

oh dee... that is a shame. We are having a northwest autumn day... grey, windy but not overly rainy. just enough to chase you back inside

2:16 pm

*hugs Dee*
You su4 deserve a better holiday.

2:16 pm

VolleymomDee

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

sprite

that is only on days I remember it is not wise to eat tulips and grow cheese though, stid

2:18 pm

stidmama

rofl... except the tulips are edible. they got some people through a famine, if I remember correctly...

2:18 pm

nDanLia

trains her son to keep fingers in dikes

2:19 pm

sprite

yes, they did. The bulbs anyway. But the famine has to be pretty dire before they become edible, believe me.

2:19 pm

nDanLia

homesteaders used to fry them like onions

2:19 pm

stidmama

yes, and sometimes they have to float the windmill on a barge when the son forgets to keep his finger there.

2:19 pm

sprite

you got it, nDan :) Hi and bye!

2:19 pm

stidmama

having never tried to eat tulips, I shall take your word for it! I also hear dahlias are edible. At least, something in my garden thinks so!

indeed. did you know that studies have shown that when humans are not exposed to the earth's diurnal rhythm and allowed to create their day/night cycle as feels appropriate, the average ideal time for a person's day is 26 hours?

Hey y'all. I need to ask all of you something. Do you know of anyone who had Polio? It seem that many of us are experiencing Post Polio Syndrome. (not plesant) Any way, there's an organization called Options, the Polio Sociiety Newslatter. They give lots good advice and were having seminars once a year....their headquarters is in Washington, DC I would like to form a support group here...but don't have any names...although I have seen a couple of people in the super market who, obviously, were post polio patients....my neurologist doesn't know all that much about polio but he helps me as best he can.

3:22 pm

joshuavorbis

i think i've seen worse words than that one

3:22 pm

In her la5 years she had the post polio symptoms. As it was explained to me it only affects the original vict. because it has to do with the nerves destroyed by the polio bug itself. I was affected in trying to help my mother as they worked to allivate the symptoms. Nasty nasty disease.

Well, physicans today just don't see that many patients with it, so they don't know what to do with them. I think a support group would help so much. And now, with the internet, it is easier to get, at least, some info.

5:51 pm

BzznBea

My husband does something similar for IBM.

5:52 pm

herinfernallady

HI Bzzzzzzzz

5:52 pm

BzznBea

Hey, herin.

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

Ooooh Evanadine, my best friend in Grad school really wanted to work for the GAO...she ended up getting hired by Health and human services.

5:52 pm

herinfernallady

Bzzz that reminds me i have a friend that works for IBM. He didn't like his boss so he picked up her filling cabinet and hid it somewhere she couldn't find it.

5:53 pm

EvaNadine

red -- i hadnt even HEARD of the GAO before i worked here...and i grew up in the DC area!
heh

5:53 pm

BzznBea

Hmmm, strange sound coming from the back of house...

5:54 pm

herinfernallady

Bzz kid, dog or husband making the noise

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

The GAO is a pretty nifty organization, me thinks.

5:54 pm

periwinkle

what is GAO?

5:54 pm

BzznBea

Ahh, it is husband running vacuum.

5:55 pm

EvaNadine

people either love or hate the GAO.

5:55 pm

EvaNadine

peri -- GAO = Government Accountability Office

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

General Accounting Office, but it isnt about accounting totally like money.

5:55 pm

periwinkle

ok, never heard of it

5:55 pm

herinfernallady

HE IS WHAT??? Call someone QUick BZZ hubby must be ill

5:55 pm

nDanLia

don't forget camera

5:56 pm

EvaNadine

theyre sort of Congress's watchdog...they take on studies at the request of congress + study how different agencies are spending their money...
their mission is to avoid waste, fraud + abuse of government resources

5:56 pm

flosey

back again

5:56 pm

nDanLia

it's the big watchdog

5:56 pm

herinfernallady

Hi flosey

5:56 pm

flosey

need a clue for pt6 please?

5:56 pm

BzznBea

No, he is tearing up the utility porch. Sucking up all the nasty stuff.

5:57 pm

nDanLia

pt + **** go bragh

5:57 pm

flosey

nm, monkeyed

5:57 pm

herinfernallady

Oh my You sure he is OK? He is cleaning up after himself :D

5:57 pm

BzznBea

Yes, he does that. He is a good man.

5:58 pm

flosey

what a sweetie Bea

5:58 pm

nDanLia

but it can still be considered guy stuff then

5:58 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, it involves a noisy machine.

5:58 pm

flosey

of course Dan, my hubby often helps with vacuuming

5:58 pm

EvaNadine

really, GAO is "the good guys" but people often misunderstand how their work comes about + the power that they have...

5:58 pm

herinfernallady

Fantastic Bzzz. I am the house work queen. I have no choice. he works i dont

5:59 pm

nDanLia

requote - " I dont outside the house" herin

5:59 pm

BzznBea

Well, he know if there is a mess, I might "fail" to see it for several days.

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

I always think of it as the good guys, but I have to admit, most people are unaware of it. It just happens to hire a lot of our grads...so we know about it...not nurses but people in Health Policy.

6:00 pm

herinfernallady

hehe I like your thinking BZZ

6:00 pm

herinfernallady

oh Fish me

6:01 pm

nDanLia

mackeral or minnow

6:01 pm

EvaNadine

people often get angry at GAO for not *enforcing* their recommendations or for not somehow preventing agencies from mis-spending their money in the first place.
unfortunately, GAO just doesnt have that kind of power...

6:04 pm

dcseain

yes, GAO is undervalued by Congress, IMHO

6:04 pm

nDanLia

we had person in our class who for 3 years had running arguments with teachers [4,5,6 gr] that he couldn't seehow they could have "hair" & live in water, so couldn't be mammals

6:05 pm

herinfernallady

Dan that is funny though. I had arguments with a teacher over fishes not being a word.

6:05 pm

nDanLia

if only we could keep the worker bees & get rid of the politicians

6:06 pm

dcseain

sigh, i know that type, nDan, mosty those ones aren't around me socially much anymore

6:06 pm

EvaNadine

its a shame to me that Dave Walker no longer heads up the GAO, but now that hes with an independent organization, hopefully he can speak his mind more freely...

6:08 pm

nDanLia

what was even funnier was his name was kevin massa & he was very tall & stocky [& his best friend was the shortest, smallest classmate out of 256]
