Some species of birds, like the robin, can only lay one egg a day. To ensure that all the eggs in the clutch hatch around the same time, the female will let the earlier eggs "cool" in the nest between layings so as to let the "fresher" eggs catch up.

full-grown they weigh about 75 lbs, but Ruffino is still growing and I think he'll be bigger than that. He's a moose

Ruby, when my husband still lived in Canada, I sent him a birthday cake one year and the postage was the same as the cake. Insane.
12:44 pm

if postage was less expensive, I would mail you all my books
12:44 pm
Nef

neither of those terms make any sense to me, TK. Why would they call the front of the car a hat and rear a shoe?
12:44 pm

today is the first day in over a week I'm actually hungry! I just helped myself to a 2 person-sized serving of homemade chicken barley soup and it tastes good!
1:06 pm
Anniebrook

Nef, the soup sounds divine
1:06 pm
TraderKate

glad your appetitie is returning nef, soup sounds delish
1:07 pm
Nef

I'm bragging because I made it Annie. It is good too. (love my food saver machine and freezer
1:07 pm
rubyfoo

chicken soup, what a good idea, haven't made one all winter
1:08 pm
rubyfoo

I finally bought a fridge today, so that is one more problem solved.
1:08 pm
Nef

I strongly encourage you to make some ruby. Very healing stuff.
1:08 pm
Nef

oh good, ruby. Is it there yet?
1:08 pm
rubyfoo

do you put dill in yours, Nef?
1:09 pm
rubyfoo

it will be delivered on Thursday; I took a floor model as I couldn't wait another two weeks as I've been tearing my hair
1:09 pm
Nef

no I haven't, ruby. I have just about every other herb there is though
1:10 pm
Nef

Maybe I'll try it next time
1:10 pm
rubyfoo

I used to cook a lot but not any more as husband and I have totally different taste. So I cook for him, I cook for dogs and then I eat something very simple
1:11 pm
Nef

you were having trouble with it almost a month ago, weren't you?
1:11 pm
MollyL

The only thing I use dill for is salmon.
1:11 pm
rubyfoo

do you ever add capers, molly?
1:11 pm
rubyfoo

2 months
1:12 pm
Nef

I use dill for fish, Swedish meatballs, and pickles. I've never tried it with chicken
1:12 pm
Nef

you are a patient woman, ruby.
1:12 pm
rubyfoo

bought a little fridge for the pantry and a small freezer for the garage and the GE couldn't be repaired by the "crook" technician who came 3 times
1:13 pm
rubyfoo

I had to have the cupboard above the old fridge removed today and will just have an open shelf above. Less pretty but there was no way I could find one to fit
1:13 pm
Dorens

dill is terrific for chicken soup
1:14 pm
rubyfoo

I make it the way my mother used to with parsnip, as well as the other vegetables
1:14 pm
Dorens

in fact that's what we're having with our matzoh balls tomorrow night
1:14 pm
rubyfoo

it's hard to find parsnip here
1:14 pm
rubyfoo

it's also hard to find martzoh!
1:15 pm
MollyL

I have a Reynolds Handi-Vac Sealer (which is the low rent version of a Food Saver Machine). I use it all the time.
1:15 pm
Nef

parsnip is expensive here.
1:15 pm
Anniebrook

I made stuffed cabbage also
1:15 pm
rubyfoo

that's funny, Nef, I Wonder why
1:16 pm
rubyfoo

I love stuffed cabbage, but mine has always disintegrated
1:16 pm
Nef

maybe we should all post our chicken soup recipes. Now I'm curious about this.
1:16 pm
rubyfoo

mine starts with "First you steal a chicken...."
1:16 pm
MollyL

It's expensive here too. My produce guy says that is because no one buys it.
1:17 pm
Anniebrook

ruby, your recipe is from the shtetl
1:17 pm
rubyfoo

yup
1:17 pm
Nef

lol!
1:18 pm
Nef

shtetl?
1:18 pm
Anniebrook

nef, a yiddish word for village
1:18 pm
Nef

ok
1:18 pm
Dorens

mine too annie.. was my mother-in-law's. parsnip, carrot, onion, dill
1:18 pm
TraderKate

parsnips are expensive here too, bought some to go in a beef stew last month - 5 parsnips in a bag was $2.99 - and it was only about a pound (500 g)
1:18 pm
rubyfoo

parsnip has a subtle taste, totally lost on my husband who never had a parsnip, rutabaga or turnip before he met me
1:19 pm
Dorens

shtetl is in the grid from time to time. always love it. reminds me of fiddler on the roof, not to mention my ancestry.
1:19 pm
MollyL

It's lost on me too Ruby. I'm not a fan of any of those you mentioned.
1:19 pm
Nef

parsnips run about $1 a peice here (they come 3 for $3
1:20 pm
rubyfoo

do you know the name of your ancestor's shtetls annie and dorens?
1:20 pm
TraderKate

on th4e subject of veggies... can you all find sweet potatoes anymore? i see yams (sometimes the store sign says sweet potato, but it's definitely yams)
1:20 pm
Anniebrook

Kiev
1:20 pm
Dorens

near villna,
1:20 pm
Glantarell

sneaks out of lurkdom to tell you to peel and quarter a parsnip, rub someolive oil on it and raost it with your potatoes. Sweet, soft, and delicious.
1:20 pm
Glantarell

evenin g all
1:20 pm
Anniebrook

Hi Glant
1:21 pm
rubyfoo

my father's family was from a shtetl outside of Kiev, Kanotop
1:21 pm
TraderKate

i glant, annie, and dorens
1:21 pm
rubyfoo

helo glant. that sounds delish
1:21 pm
Anniebrook

I roast all winter veggies, oil, fresh garlic, salt, peper, delish
1:21 pm
Glantarell

if you want to improve the roast parsnip, peel and quarter, lightly boil or steam until getting soft, dip in egg, flour and finely grated parmesan and roast. yum.
1:22 pm
Dorens

funny. vilna is also in ukraine. guess we're all related
1:22 pm
Anniebrook

Im going to do that, glant
1:22 pm
MollyL

We have sweet potatoes here all year long.
1:22 pm
rubyfoo

his family left in about 1902 because of the pogroms
1:22 pm
Glantarell

the other wya they are nice is to boil, steam or even microwave till soft, then mash with some grated cheddar cheese.
1:22 pm
rubyfoo

his parents met and married in Scranton
1:22 pm
Nef

we have sweet potatoes all year too
1:22 pm
Anniebrook

same here, my mother and father's family were driven out because of progroms
1:24 pm
Anniebrook

see you babblers later, bye
1:24 pm
Dorens

my mother's father was romanian... father's parents Polish and Russian. Mom's mom was from Vilna (Ukraine), and yes... all were driven out by pogroms
1:24 pm
TraderKate

ttfn annie
1:24 pm
Glantarell

bye annie
1:24 pm
rubyfoo

my mother was born in the Ukraine in Dnepropetrovsk (used to be Ekaterinaslav) but she came over in 1910. They were city people and her father taught dancing in the Russian army (at least that's the story)
1:26 pm
Nef

dancing? In the Army?
1:27 pm
rubyfoo

it's probably a family myth, but no one is alive to refute it. And my father's mother, a great beauty, was an actress in the Yiddish theater in Scranton. I seem to be the only one in the family who knows that
1:28 pm
Glantarell

1:29 pm
Glantarell

my grandparents were all emigrating form Italy to New york when the ship stopped in liverpool, and they were told thta one brother was too ill and would be turned away at Ellis Island, so they stayed in Liverpool.
1:30 pm
rubyfoo

I love those stories
1:30 pm
Glantarell

I think he may have had TB. Anyway, great grandfather was a busking one man band around Liverpool for about 30 years, and one set of great grandparents and their children did street singing.
1:31 pm
rubyfoo

do you have any old photods?
1:31 pm
Glantarell

the pther side of the family did fairground acts - riding the wall of death, and other entertainments - amazing how you can make a living when you don;t have any formal training!
1:32 pm
Glantarell

there is a book about Liverpool called 'Little Italy and there is a photo of the inging family in there, and I have photos of both great grandfathers
1:32 pm
rubyfoo

that is a really interesting background, glant. Do you have talent?
1:32 pm
Glantarell

interestingly, one great grandmother registered the births of each of her children differently, they were hard totrace
1:32 pm
MollyL

<---Keeps quiet about her nefarious Irish ancestors.
1:33 pm
Glantarell

we think it's because she was probably an illegal immigrant, and also because they wre not married. In fact, he may already have ahd a wife, eith back in Italy, or maybe elsewhere
1:33 pm
rubyfoo

I want to hear about the poteen still, molly
1:33 pm
Glantarell

I have all sorts of talent Ruby :-) but have never learnt any kind of performing art
1:34 pm
rubyfoo

uh oh, DH is banging around upstairs so I have to go
1:34 pm
Glantarell

right, off to cook and eat dinner, early start tomorrow, off to London to see how they run education programmes at the Tower of London, Hampton Court & Kensingon Palace.

While his long was very flawed, I [and not everybody] thought he should win. The silver medalist skates very small

7:41 pm
Nef

I had my MIL for 9 months; she died almost 9 months to the day we got married (she was 54 at the time). She had MS and was a quadriplegic in a nursing home. I always think people are lucky to have them (whether they like them or not)
7:41 pm
Minveryork

I tried to follow the directions to fix my time setting on my Yahoo account and it STILL does not work!It is telling me I sent mail that I just sent three hours ago.
7:42 pm
Nef

Maybe it can't correct ones that have been sent? (I don't know...)
7:43 pm
penquis

Thanks for the help!
7:43 pm
Nef

did you finish, penquis? If So; YAYA!!!!
7:44 pm

7:45 pm

Got one left...pr 7/48....
7:49 pm
Nef

let me know if you want a clue
7:54 pm
Nef

8 left for me; but it's taken me forever to get here today
7:55 pm
Minveryork

Go Nef go!
7:55 pm
MollyL

Min, when you get to SET LANGUAGE, TIME AND ZONE your settings should read ENGLISH (UNITED STATES) in the first box and US EASTERN in the second box. Then hit SAVE and your time should be correct. If not, you need to contact Yahoo.
7:55 pm
Nef

thanks, Min
7:57 pm
Nef

It took me forever to SEE the words; I've been quite dense the past week.
7:58 pm
Minveryork

Is there a difference between Eastern time & GMT -05:00 U.S. Eastern time MollyL? I tried it both ways.
7:59 pm
MollyL

Yes. GMT Time is not our time zone. You want it Eastern. Then be sure to hit SAVE. Try sending yourself an email to check it.
8:00 pm
dcseain

they should be the same, minver, assuming dailight time is turned on. GMT-5 is EST.
8:00 pm
Minveryork

Yes, I did that AND I sent myself an e-mail to check it
8:00 pm
Minveryork

Hello dcseain! How are you doing? Welcome to puzzle
8:01 pm
dcseain

eh, okay. getting over a cold. Hope you're well
8:02 pm
MollyL

Min, all I can tell you is that in Yahoo mail, your time should be set to US Eastern. If that is not working, you have a problem that only Yahoo can fix.
8:03 pm
Minveryork

So then my next question is how do I contact Yahoo?
8:04 pm
Minveryork

I guess I should not be so obsessed with time settings
8:06 pm
Nef

Hubby has nightmares and fights in his sleep. I sometimes get hit and the dog gets kicked off the bottom of the bed
