I've done well guessing the big words tonight; that's how I got the nu7X2

Not sure how many would get that clue, melon. Worked for me though!
1:24 am

I don't get it

wanna come do mine, ruru?

Somehow that helped me guess one nu 7. Still missing one though.
1:25 am
melonheadjujube
If you got the de7 that takes away from , unload the de and finish with consumes, you'll get the tr 8/9
1:26 am

i did finally figure out that asian clue from the other night melon.. I was lost for a long while though
1:27 am
jbp
nm, it was present and past tense
1:28 am
melonheadjujube
refresh me, ruru. Was it one of my cryptic clues?
1:28 am
rururocks
yes.. it was totally cryptic
1:28 am
rururocks
but i eventually got it
1:28 am
rururocks
but then I'm slower than most
1:28 am
melonheadjujube
ruru, you would probably love cryptic crosswords. There are frre ones all over the net.
1:29 am

if 'incarnate' is a word, how come for why is 'decarnate' not one? ;-)
1:32 am

also not in the grid 'erect'

and, we have seltzer dragon
1:35 am

as well as an AN word that is like oral, except not really
1:36 am

I would love a clue (in general) for the lowest left side R
1:36 am

re + not walk
1:37 am
Lizlin
What is a seltzer dragon?
1:37 am
jbp
that's from a higher one

when someone (usually ruru, here) makes me laugh when I have just taken a drinnk of seltzer
1:37 am
Lizlin
Ah! Good visuals!
1:38 am

I'm ok thanks melon. 80 left, so don't know yet what I need as haven't listed.

ugh, dcs, sounds cold...can i come and live with you??
3:08 am
grannyrose
you won't need any sort of warming device...just stand/sit me in the middle of a room...i radiate heat.
3:09 am
grannyrose
pugs, you done yet, hun?
3:10 am
dcseain
It's been colder than it's been in some years this late Fall here. And based on the squirrels, many of us are anticipating a cold winter. This is very early for snow here -- frozen precipitation before Christmas is rare.
3:10 am
dcseain
rare to the point i thought white xmases were a myth growing up.
3:11 am
grannyrose
*giggle* don't start me on squirrels...ask joso...i'm very bad with squirrels.
3:11 am
puglet
what part of the states do you live in DC
3:12 am
joso
hi all, biggun tonight, but no fear I already have 24
3:12 am
grannyrose
dcs, if we can have snow just before christmas ( it is our summer here ) why shouldn't you?
3:13 am
dcseain
I'm in the Virginia suburbs of DC, in Oak Hill VA near Dulles international Airport.
3:13 am
grannyrose
g'day, mate. nice to see you.
3:13 am
puglet
you know Rose, since Joso started this squirrel things we have had several commericals with them in it attacking people-lol
3:13 am
puglet
Hey there Sir Joso
3:13 am
dcseain
ah, ice storm, no snow is being called for. enough to bring down power lines. So glad i live in an area with underground lines.
3:13 am
joso
hey rose, good to see you too
3:13 am
puglet
we are to get ice and snow too today
3:14 am
dcseain
evening, joso, nice to see you.
3:14 am
joso
greeting m'lady pug
3:14 am
joso
hey dc, how's life
3:14 am
puglet
Iam in the midwest of Indiana
3:15 am
dcseain
you generally get worse Winter weather than we do here by far.
3:15 am
dcseain
alright, joso, thanks. And you?
3:15 am
puglet
we do..we got about 12 inches on the ground right now
3:17 am
dcseain
we learned that our house has a 20Amp electrical circuit that covers: the dishwasher, the dining room overhead, some overhead lights in kitchen and breakfast area, part of the living room, part of my bedroom, part of the bedroom next to mine, the internet, and the sump pump. Weee!
3:17 am
dcseain
Sounds like my family in Cleveland that way, pugs.
3:19 am
joso
seems the same guy that wired the green acres farm got work at your place dc
3:19 am
puglet
must be a older home DC
3:20 am
dcseain
Upside, VDOT has pretreated the road. Ah, 3inches of snow, then freezing rain and sleet, chaning to plain rain Monday afternoon. I bet most schools will be closed Monday. Or at least open a couple hours late.
3:21 am
dcseain
1986 home, pugs. The kitchen was redone in January (we moved here in October). I think they did the electric on the way cheap, though.
3:21 am
puglet
I rather have the snow first then that ice!
3:21 am
joso
but no problem, take out the 20 amp fuse, stick in a penny and you will be toasty warm in no time.
3:22 am
dcseain
not fuse, breakers, so no pennies
3:22 am
joso
probably a good thing
3:22 am
dcseain
we get a lot of ice -- often ice, snow ice, or snow then ice, or straught-up ice. We we here in DC call Winter is known as Spring in New England. LOL
3:23 am
puglet
I live in mh and our wiring is about the same--everything on one side is wired together
3:24 am
joso
my old place had no plugs in the kitchen
3:25 am
puglet
was it built before electric was invented
3:25 am
joso
oops, I lie, one massive plug for the stove
3:26 am
dcseain
so small appliances were all n the dining room i bet.
3:29 am
joso
I would guess it was built in the 50's or late 40's. fridge cord ran around the corner into the living room. I bought a 6 foot power bar and attached to to the wall behind the counter, but you could not use the toaster and microwave at the same time
3:31 am
puglet
I have that problem too Joso---it will throw the breaker if both are turned on at the same time
3:32 am
joso
yep, microwave and anything really, but that problem is behind me now
3:36 am
grannyrose
*giggle* you all homes sound like this one. built late 40's early 50's. sometimes when we use the toaster everything stops. maybe we can now afford to get it sorted. will be nice not to plunge into complete darkness in the middle of cooking dinner.
3:36 am
grannyrose
hmmm...joso...you saying the ......shines out of your a...

4:06 am
grannyrose
jack, wouldn't be this strong without my God and friends. i have had so much support.

4:13 am
worzel
Mum you are, as everyone keeps saying, a very strong person. I don't know how you do it. I have a minor tummy problem and all of a sudden it gets me depressed! Well, maybe depressed is an exaggeration, but I ain't one to take to illness - I'm not ur usual man I just get on with it, but I can't complain what with all you've gone through lately xx
4:14 am
ivesy3
cold here too. seems all winter they post storm warnings.... just in case..
4:14 am
rubyfoo
it is brutal, but the dogs don't seem to mind. They prefer being outside to being nestled by the hearth
4:15 am
puglet
I bet they do!--with their heavy coats its paridise to them-lol
4:15 am
grannyrose
worzel, complain away...or not....this strong man image is so passe. trying to make DH understand...it is okay to blurt out how you feel. tummy problem??? spill, dear. if not here, email me.xoxox
4:15 am
ivesy3
i would prefer the hearth ruby
4:16 am
puglet
eee, I dont want puke on my screen--LOL
4:16 am
joso
smoking is my thing right now, moved into a non smoking house so decided now is the time to quit, started a champix prescription and will stop in 2 weeks, but in the meantime I have to step out every time I want to smoke
4:16 am
rubyfoo
baby girl is almost as big as her brother and she's not even full-grownyet. She's a lovely moose of a girl with a wonderful thick an fluffy coat
4:17 am
puglet
or get a electric cig, Joso
4:17 am
worzel
It's not that I'm being all macho man, it's just I can't be doing with illness. I had my appendix out 6 weeks ago in a rather nasty op. Have all but recovered from it, but for at least the last 4 weeks I have had, on and off, very loose movements, shall we say. And last few days quite bad cramps. I'm associating it with a general bug because I feel ok otherwise, but my partner hasn't contracted the bug and we're together all the time so maybe it's not a bug. Probably just being a big old sissy really, aren't i?
4:17 am
grannyrose
yay you joso. use me as you champix buddy if you like. been there, got the t-shirt...
4:17 am
ivesy3
dr. said next appt. i better come in and say i have quit... and mean it.. ..pug, i have the elec cig.. made me sick lol
4:18 am
rubyfoo
the problem, as I've read, with the e-cigs is that they don't know how safe they are, long-term
4:18 am

yes ruby.. and they do have nicotine ..i want just the vapor one.. no nicotine
4:19 am
grannyrose
worzel...maybe the antibiotics they gave you. try something which will stabilise the normal flora/fauna in your bowel. antibiotics have a tendency to knock them off. check with your local pharmacy.
4:19 am
grannyrose
sleep well, jack, hun
4:20 am
ivesy3
well may nite affect you like that pug.. just get the single one..they go about $9.00 here..

4:20 am
rubyfoo
and eat yoghurt!!
4:20 am
puglet
and wor why you say you are a sissy just cause you dont feel well
4:20 am
worzel
Never thought of that Mum. Mind you I haven't been on the antibiotics for about a month or so, and that was when it started so maybe that's it! Oh ty SOOO much Mum I shall go to pharmacy tomorrow and ask their opinion! See, not only strong as an ox but a true blessing xx ty!!
4:21 am
puglet

4:50 am

a lovely restaurant, pug, with not too many different things on the menu (I stink at choosing), a view on the lake, and very kind personnel.
4:50 am
grannyrose
*huge yawn* ....gulp, yes, sprite....whatever you say dear....meeting with funeral directors tomorrow morning...need to sleep...

4:51 am
puglet
good night Rose, hugs
4:51 am
sprite
what, Fang trying to DO something? You gotta be kidding.
4:52 am
grannyrose
okay, if you say so....
4:52 am
joso
it's so cute when the 5 year old insists they can stay up more
4:52 am
grannyrose

4:52 am
grannyrose
xoxox darlings.
4:53 am

4:53 am
puglet
How are you today Sprite
4:53 am
sprite
am good, pug. Slept well. Calm day ahead of me. Puzzles to create, lol. And you?
4:53 am
joso
don't give don a hug from me, wish him well, no hug
4:54 am
sprite
and you, joso? Not a gaming sunday today, apparently. More unpacking :)
4:54 am
sprite
lol joso, come on now, a good strong male bear hug.
4:54 am
puglet
everything is fine with me now that all the gang has checked in--well havent seen OO for a few days
4:55 am
sprite
no, me neither. Hope he will drop a line soon.
4:56 am
joso
nope, need to know a guy for atleast 5 years before you move on from handshaking (unless you are on the same sport team)
4:56 am
sprite
ah, ok, see, never learned the inside information on maledom.
4:57 am
joso
there are rules
4:57 am
puglet
what about women? 21/2 for them? lol
4:58 am
puglet
Sprite, glad you guys liked the ideal on the shed.
4:58 am
sprite
women? We are quite different. We can hug from day one. But watch your back, because quite a few ladies won't think twice about stabbing you in the back the moment you turn around.
4:58 am
joso
for women, 3 minutes, any excuse to cop a feel
4:58 am
sprite
sure did, pug. Gave my love a whole new idea. Will brighten up the place considerably too... it is a dark hole inside, of course.
5:03 am
puglet
I have had a few friends that their hubby has tried to hit on me(in my younger days, that is) and I hated that uncompfy feeling--:(
5:03 am
sprite
one of our neighbours threw out a whole shelves system from a very good brand, my love could take it away for free (we brought them a big bouquet of flowers for it) and now he is installing it in his container. Sorry, workshop.
5:05 am
sprite
oh dear, yes, that is very unpleasant. Some men are like that.
5:05 am
joso
sorry pug, I jest, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable
5:06 am
sprite
a good hug is not sexual at all. You can hug me anytime, joso, and I know my husband wouldn't mind :)
5:08 am
puglet
turn over---you didnt Joso--I was relating to back stabbers
5:10 am
sprite
have to admit to being an avid hugger. I truly believe that a hug is healing in so many ways. My love is a hugger too, and so are our children now.
5:11 am
puglet
there wasent alot in my family, but have learned to be more so as Ive gotten older
5:12 am
joso
I am much more stand offish, shy away from touching until I trust someone, would hug either one of you on sight though
5:12 am
sprite
not much of it in my family either. Started hugging when I learned to love myself more, early stages, say around 25.
5:12 am
sprite
I would respect your distance, joso, but am glad I don't have to :) Would gladly hug you IRL.
5:13 am
puglet
what about 2 years ago> :)
5:14 am
joso
are you asking me pug?
5:15 am
puglet
No, sprite---I would have no problem hugging you
5:15 am
sprite
would gladly hug you too, pug
5:16 am
puglet
My hair color puts a strike against me with Joso, as he stated long ago-lol
5:17 am

red hair, a natural trait of beauty.
5:21 am
puglet

5:28 am
puglet
I dont think so. been here since flip
5:29 am
puglet
Youre amazing!
5:30 am
sprite
*giggles* yeah right. Do you realise how much you learned already, pug? Down to 113 without help, that is something awesome. Would you have believed you could do that the first day you played?
5:31 am
puglet
well no,,and I can see a diferent on my other word game from playing here
5:32 am
sprite
oh I believe that! I have learned so much from babble too.
5:33 am
puglet
what puzzles you planning on making now
5:33 am
sprite
did you see my second Christmas star one? I like making those stars so much, lol... just a child with a new play thing.
5:34 am
puglet
no--I didnt go there yesterday due to reading-lol
5:34 am
Lizlin
I love your star puzzles, sprite - saw the 2nd one today and will do the it when I have some time.
5:34 am
puglet
Hi Liz, wb
5:35 am
Lizlin
Always good to be back and happy that you're still here, pugs.
5:35 am
puglet
Iam about done with Julian--I have liked it very much
5:35 am
sprite
errr let me see... I have 2 halloween themes waiting to be made, Witches & black cats and Skulls & bats. Was thinking of doing a dutch theme one for touristic places in Amsterdam... one of the special canal houses... Any requests maybe?
5:35 am
sprite
hi Liz, lovely that you enjoy them! How are you doing today?
5:36 am
Lizlin
Will enjoy those! I love fantasy puzzles.
5:36 am
sprite
oh wow pug, am so glad :) Yeah, he is quite something, isn't he, that Julian. Nice to know his background, isn't it?
5:36 am
Lizlin
All's fine here, thanks. How are you - enjoying the weekend?
5:37 am
Lizlin
How's your daughter - was reading about her problems - but you weren't online at the time, so couldn't send you hugs!
5:37 am
puglet
yes, it makes one understand more of things in the later books////how about one of your neighborhood
5:37 am
sprite
had a bit of a rough week emotionally, Liz, and since yesterday I feel like I am getting my fe4 back under me, so yes, enjoying it very much :)
5:37 am
Lizlin
With the puzzles, is there a way of having the images onscreen, whilst completing the puzzles?
5:38 am
sprite
oh, I could do that, pug. Would have to make pictures first then... could be a nice project when I walk Terra.
5:38 am
Lizlin
Yes, it sounded like a really rubbish week for you but hopefully this week will be better.
5:38 am
Lizlin
Have you cooked anything this weekend?
5:38 am
puglet
can you show the before and after of the street work
5:38 am
sprite
Liz, not readily. You can either hit the pauze button and see the small one, or you can open the puzzle page on a second tab of your browser.
5:39 am
sprite
I didn't take pictures from that, pug :(
5:39 am
puglet
have you got group in the morning Sprite
5:39 am
Lizlin
I figured that was the case. I did the first star puzzle without looking at the pic! A good challenge!
5:39 am
sprite
no, I cooked on Thursday this last week. Spaghetti with leek, bacon and herb cheese.
5:40 am
puglet
I liked that one too--was so pretty
5:40 am
Lizlin
Leave the bacon out for me and it sounds yummy!
5:40 am
sprite
woot Liz, indeed :) I like doing mosaic puzzles. It is like doing a lot of mini puzzles.
5:40 am
Lizlin
Probably yummy even with the bacon, just not for me!
5:40 am
puglet
WHAT! no bacon! lol
5:40 am
sprite
you a veggie, Liz?
5:40 am
Lizlin
No - not kosher, so I don't eat it.
5:41 am
joso
wow liz, so few are kosher these days
5:41 am
Lizlin
Depends where you are joso!
5:41 am
puglet
Sprite, dont think I ever told this but I have two neighbours with the last name of Bacon-lol
5:42 am
sprite
ah I see. The dish needs something with a strong taste or it will be too bland. Don't know kosher food well enough to think of a substitute. But anything with a bit of oomph will do.
5:42 am
joso
stick you in the same room with crossy and something might implode, lol
5:42 am
sprite
roflolllll pug! Don't tell crossy... he will become a maneater :)
5:42 am
Lizlin
I was at Hebrew School (Sunday School) as a kid, with a kid with the surname of Bacon. Ironic for a Jewish kid!
5:42 am
sprite
oh dear, what a rotten name for a child to have
5:43 am
Lizlin
No - it'd be fine Joso - he'd happily have all the bacon.
5:44 am
joso
true enough, he would't mind having extra, hehehehe
5:44 am
Lizlin
Smoked salmon would probably substitute well for the bacon in that pasta dish.
5:44 am
puglet
I bet poor crossy isnt eating bacon right now
5:44 am
sprite
do you like to read detective novels, Liz?
5:44 am
Lizlin
Yes, sprite.
5:44 am
sprite
oh, smoked salmon is always good, lol. I love it. Yes, that would do just fine.
5:45 am
sprite
there is this series by Faye Kellerman, about a detective who falls in love with a Jewish woman and learns to adapt to the ways of her faith. Very interesting and good reads.
5:46 am
Lizlin
I love Faye Kellerman books - also the ones her husband writes - Jonathan Kellerman.
5:46 am
sprite
crossy has to watch his bacon intake and he does. He does pretty well with making choices... and he is a marvel at making lovely dishes anway :)
5:47 am
sprite
ah, should have know you already knew them, lol. Yes, I love his work too.
5:48 am
lynxxx

Just heard from grannyrose and she is grateful for all the wonderful support from her Babble community. Wanted to pass that along.
8:29 am
uusue2
What happened with grannyrose? I've been a bit out of the loop...
8:32 am
MimiCat
Hi, sue! First, her mother died and there was a problem with her son regarding the funeral, then she had surgery (knee, I think) and then her mother-in-law died...all within a month.
8:32 am
uusue2
Holy cow. That is a lot to deal with!!
8:33 am
MimiCat
Yes, it is. Everyone here has been concerned about her and many have written supportive emails, myself included. I think it really helps to know so many people care...this is such a great community.
8:34 am
uusue2
It really is. I got so much support when Frank was sick - I used my profile as a kind of diary and it was quite therapeutic :-)
8:35 am
uusue2
Hmmm, I wonder if I am her friend on Facebook?
8:36 am
MimiCat
I remember that, sue. Everyone has been giving me support for my dinner with my daughter tomorrow as well...I'm hopeful we an move forward now...I have missed her so much.
8:36 am

ah, good luck with that!! I will be thinking of you.
8:38 am

I can't find grannyrose on the babble facebook list; if you can send me her email (you can message me on facebook) I'll send her a note.
8:38 am
MimiCat
I'm making her favorite...my chicken paprikash.
8:39 am

ooh, sounds good! My dissertation advisor was Hungarian, and he and his wife had me over to dinner once - her chicken paprikash was very yummy!

12:06 pm
rururocks
I tend to think everyone is in my time zone :D
12:06 pm
Dorens
no owl, not the drawing word
12:06 pm
Dorens

12:06 pm
72 Temple Owl

12:06 pm
rururocks
wow.. Folsom is a pretty area
12:07 pm
zoozzoom
Always reminds me of Johnny Cash wehn i hear about that prison..lol
12:07 pm
rururocks
is it dangerous at all for him doren?
12:07 pm
Dorens
so, they're looking for a place somewhere near davis ?? so that IF jaime gets a job in Sf they can each commute.
12:07 pm
72 Temple Owl
well then i will search for the other tr5 ty
12:07 pm
zoozzoom
What was the name of the Prison that Cash sang in?
12:08 pm
rururocks
maybe dixon would be better
12:08 pm
Dorens
folsom, zooz
12:08 pm
Dorens
folsom, zooz
12:08 pm
rururocks
there are some nice areas in Dixon
12:08 pm
rururocks
Davis is expensive due to the college
12:08 pm
zoozzoom
Ah so it is the same one..lol
12:09 pm
Dorens
we hope not, ru. it is a maximum security prison. i'm thinking after a few years there, he would be able to write a terrific book
12:09 pm
rururocks
yes he would be bound to write a book :D
12:10 pm
Dorens
expensive due to the college, but then again, it has the sort of places, coffeeshops, etc that they like being able to be near, also due to the college
12:10 pm
rururocks
yes true.
12:10 pm
Dorens
now a lot of puns about books, ru? i am off in a few minutes, just hoping to whittle down what i need to a manageable number for the evening
12:10 pm
rururocks
that would be a hell of a commute to SF though
12:11 pm
rururocks
coming back on 80 east is horrible..especially Fridays
12:11 pm
Dorens
well, she doesn't actually even have a job. i don't know what they're thinking. Her sister's in Napa and they want somewhere closer to them i think, too
12:11 pm
rururocks
dixon is one hour from Napa
12:12 pm
mab
thank goodness for libraries in prisons.
12:12 pm
rururocks
ten minutes from Davis
12:12 pm
rururocks
that's how I read it too Mab
12:12 pm
rururocks
She could find a job in Sacramento easier than SF i'm guessing
12:12 pm
Dorens
yes mab. i agree, for multiple reasons. I will tell him to look at dixon ru. (How far is it from Folsom?)
12:13 pm
mab
my ex is a librarian. in dc. in journalistic setting
12:13 pm
rururocks

12:13 pm
zoozzoom
Sounds like the travel will be a bind.
12:13 pm
Biltong
Clue for the re8, please?
12:13 pm
mab
he is brilliant
12:13 pm
Dorens
his hours are 7:30 - 3:30 or something like that.
12:14 pm
rururocks
off commute.. that's good
12:14 pm
zoozzoom
Re8 to pour wine into another vessel?
12:14 pm
mab

12:15 pm
rururocks
lol zoom.. want to TAKE That back :?
12:15 pm
Dorens
my ex is brilliant too. and so are our sons... took david forever to get back to college, then he was very focused and went straight for his MS in library science. He actually prefers archival work, but this is what he got and I'm thinking he'll enjoy it.
12:15 pm
Biltong
ty, zooz, found it :)
12:15 pm
rururocks
it will certain'y not be boring for him doren
12:15 pm

12:16 pm
72 Temple Owl

12:16 pm
Dorens

12:16 pm
Biltong

12:16 pm
zoozzoom

12:16 pm

12:17 pm

12:17 pm
rururocks

12:18 pm
Dorens
he enjoys helping people... explaining things, he did IT stuff for a while and was great with that. But he doesn't suffer fools gladly, and has issues with authoritative a**holes.
12:18 pm
zoozzoom
LOL, RU
12:18 pm
Dorens
I think it is mab.... He had been looking for over 6 months... more intensively after he moved out there in August

12:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
traditaonal librarian jobs are very scarce.
12:20 pm
mab
hmm... i wonder if the federal government uses lots of librarians.
12:20 pm
Dorens
don't have to understand it to use it... my feeling is that it means don't put up with them easily
12:20 pm
Dorens
he was working at the fed reserve bank in boston and enjoying it , but no openings in the SF branch
12:21 pm
mab
i think for homeland security issues they do use librarians. creepy.
12:21 pm
Dorens

72 Temple Owl

12:47 pm
phandmd
Yes, she loves it! She has a blast outside.

It is still snowing, but seems to have slowed down some.

72 Temple Owl
back in the day one could leave those issues behind, so to speak.
4:59 pm

5:06 pm
dianedecoder

5:07 pm
72 Temple Owl

5:08 pm
dianedecoder
And as for the snow situation, we have over a foot on the level and piled up about 2 to 3 feet where we shovel. We had -32 C here the other day with a wind chill of -49..... It's much nicer today... clear, sunny and -16 C
5:09 pm
dianedecoder
I feel bad for the poor folks having the ice storms.... they are devastating :-(
5:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
and if i dare say you are used to it will you whack me with a babblefish?
5:10 pm
dianedecoder
Nope... it's true !! I've lived in this country for 73 years...and I still love winter!
5:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. there is nothing worse. problems even if one stays home.
5:11 pm
welki
lol diane! you love winter from afar!
5:11 pm
72 Temple Owl

5:12 pm

5:12 pm
rubyfoo
diane, please save some for me or at least send me your recipe
5:12 pm
dianedecoder
snow, or meatloaf ? lol
5:12 pm
dianedecoder
Hi ruby :-)
5:13 pm
rubyfoo
our pups are very discrete, they poop in the shrubbery where no one ever goes I've never seen either dog do it. Chows are very private.
5:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
ruby. in search of the perfect meatloaf.
5:14 pm
rubyfoo
I would welcome any receipes and my address is I y profie 9never been updated 0 bad, lazy el)
5:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
this is a bugger of a grid. still need 41
5:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
ruby, it has to be in the ratios.
5:14 pm
dianedecoder
My meat loaf is very basic.... hubby prefers it the way his mom made it... no fancy spices, no cheese in it etc.
5:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
what is your binder besides an egg?
5:15 pm
dianedecoder
I still have 71 words left
5:15 pm
rubyfoo
bread soaked in milk
5:15 pm
welki
i use breadcrumbs
5:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
i have used that rarely. use crumbs oats or minced celery and carrot. i make different loaves.
5:16 pm
rubyfoo
bread crumbs here are not like progresso, they're finer and tasteless. I use some good seasons Italian seasoning and ketchup
5:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
actually, use bread in milk for meatballs.
5:16 pm
joso
I use a store
5:16 pm
dianedecoder
I use 2# ground beef, one can tomato soup, 2 eggs, about 1/2 a sleeve of crackers ( saltines ) rolled fine, finely chopped onion... salt and pepper. And yes, like welki, I use my own bread crumbs if I've got any.
5:16 pm
rubyfoo
<-- allergic to oatmeal
5:17 pm
72 Temple Owl
oats work well. one of the best is the bottom of the bag crumbs from bran cereal.
5:18 pm
dianedecoder
aha.... I use bread in milk for meatballs too... makes them so nice and fluffy.
5:18 pm
dianedecoder
The "store" works too, joso :-)
5:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. i changed over to romano parmesan blend as well and that kicked them up at notch in flavor, though i don't like pecorino for anything else.
5:19 pm
rubyfoo
the /French don't eat meat loaf and my friends think I'm crazy
5:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
but back to poor ruby. i remember m first couple of loaves, no recipe just from watching my mother cook it. like bricks.
5:19 pm
rubyfoo
Ah, so I could add some good Paresan?
5:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
they eat pa - TAY . we are now talking meatballs.
5:20 pm
rubyfoo
that was exactly my problem, and hers was always delicious, especially for sandwiches the net day
5:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
heaviness is the ratio of the other ingredients.
5:21 pm
rubyfoo
I've written down Diane's receipe
5:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
how loose is the mixture?
5:21 pm
dianedecoder
hubby likes it cold for breakfast, with eggs and hash browns !
5:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is great, ruby. let us know how it turns out.
5:22 pm
rubyfoo
I'll make it on Tuesday with mashed potatoes and let you know
5:22 pm
rubyfoo
good night all, it's very late
5:22 pm
dianedecoder
My girls never used to mix theirs well enough... and they always sort of fell apart... I use my hands, and mix until I can pick the whole "blob" up with my hand.... need to get the egg mixed in well.
5:22 pm
72 Temple Owl
deal
5:23 pm
72 Temple Owl
i make one that uses tomato sauce and surround it with carrots while baking. carrots love tomato sauce.
5:23 pm
rubyfoo
thank you everybody
5:23 pm
welki
i have a standing invitation to the gal who boards my dogs - whenever there's meat loaf, she's here :)
5:23 pm
72 Temple Owl
another quick trick ruby for seasoning is to add mild salsa and top it with same
5:23 pm
rubyfoo
carrots sound like a good idea
5:23 pm
dianedecoder
My son in law makes a groove in the center, puts mozzarella cheese or similar in it, then covers it over with remaining meat. It's good too.
5:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
i hate salsa but it has everythink one might want to use for seasoning.
5:24 pm
welki
i make mine plain and simple - good the first day, great for sandwiches the next
5:24 pm
rubyfoo
these are all good ideas. If it tastes like liver (AGAIN), I'll put it in the pb
5:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
minced vegetables are great binders in lieu of bread products.
5:24 pm
dianedecoder
I'm getting hungry, and it's still an hour 'til supper !!
5:25 pm
welki
if you're in a pinch, salsa added to a can of pinto beans makes a nice side dish - you can spice it up, dress it up with onions/peppers if you want
5:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
gee thanks a lot rubes ! :P
5:25 pm
dianedecoder
same here welki...the plain and simple
5:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
tnx, welk will try.

hello everyone -- ugly grid for me.
5:25 pm

It's 12"30 and I just ate a duck pate sandwich which will probably make me sick during the night. Allways a smart eater NOT
5:26 pm
welki

5:26 pm
72 Temple Owl
dear me, you should be dreaming.
5:26 pm
welki

5:26 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi nan
5:26 pm
dianedecoder
Hi nan.... think "food" ....it makes the grid easier to take !
5:26 pm
cybernan
wish I had some duck pate!
5:27 pm
rubyfoo
there is a wonderful duck pate here from the Dordogne which the local store carries.
5:27 pm
welki
oh i can see me in the store - do you have any duck pate from the Dordogne? "No, welki, but we have some liverwurst in a tube"
5:27 pm
cybernan
yum -- still miss the fois gras we used to be able to get, though
5:28 pm
dianedecoder
LOL....
5:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
lolol
5:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
there was a big flap about fois gras here. animal cruelty issues.
5:29 pm
72 Temple Owl
how about the r that begins the fourth row?
5:29 pm
cybernan
we can get the duck pate from a local italian grocery and sometimes Save-on brings it in at Christmas
5:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
and does the un word use another grid word? would love stats for that grid word
5:30 pm
welki
only animal cruelty issues related to fois gras? other parts are okay? just not the liver? LOLOL
5:30 pm

5:30 pm

5:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
i will not eat liver. it cleanses the body, how can it be ok to eatno wonder it tastes bad.
5:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
sorry, just a statement, no indictment meant.
5:32 pm
dan2bit
I have tried both pattern and attract multiple times
5:32 pm
welki
i like liver. liver and onions. chicken livers wrapped in bacon. chopped liver. liverwurst. pate of unknown origin. and soon - duck pate!
5:33 pm
cybernan
the problem is that it doesn't taste bad when mixed with lots of heavy cream...
5:34 pm
welki
my son in law is brazilian - we've had skewers of barbecued, marinated chicken hearts - yum!
5:34 pm
welki
(one of my sons in law)
5:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think it is a love it or not thing. i have been urged to taste all variations and all are equally bad to my tastebuds. i don't eat skin or fat either.
5:34 pm
cybernan

another vigilante deciding to take the law into his own hands? or someone looking for a fight?
