MollyL

Angelsong, if you are still around, add a V to the link to your blog in your profile. The word "loving" needs one.

7:36 am

crosshair

7:37 am

MollyL

mi6/27 has the sometimes vowel in the middle

7:37 am

flosey

monkeys aren't finding it

7:38 am

flosey

thanks Molly

7:38 am

MollyL

Not the best clue, but I couldn't think of another way to do it

7:39 am

MollyL

It's a Hebrew word I did not know

7:39 am

flosey

7:39 am

Anniebrook

mi6/27 is a gathering of 10 Jewish men to conduct a religious service

7:41 am

7:43 am

Anniebrook

lol

7:45 am

MollyL

I always wanted to build a Sukkot hut when I was little
: D

7:53 am

flosey

Shiksa? meaning? somewhere in the back of my mind seems somewhat negative?

7:56 am

MollyL

No, not negative. Just a non-Jewish woman

7:56 am

MollyL

My Jewish friends use it affectionately

7:56 am

flosey

ah, thanks Molly

7:58 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the mi 6! Didn't even think of trying it :(

7:58 am

lynxxx

TY Flos - that gave me the p8 as well

8:28 am

bichon

a Sukkot hut is called a Sukkah. Lots of fun to eat out there

8:30 am

MollyL

I learned most of what I know about the Jewish religion from a series of kids books called "All Of A Kind Family"

8:31 am

bichon

hints for the pi and si pls

8:31 am

bichon

Mr. Bich, for a goy, knows way to much about Judiasism. He corrects me

8:31 am

penquis

um....there is no pi or si.....do you mean pl or sl?

8:31 am

bichon

yes, sorry pen

8:32 am

penquis

don't have the sl yet....no pl either....someone misspoke...

8:32 am

MollyL

I once worked for three Jewish women who said I knew more about their religion than they did
: D

8:32 am

lynxxx

they have the most ending - one is burnt by the Irish & the other is a rock

8:33 am

MollyL

Someone mentioned a p8 not a pl8

8:33 am

penquis

ah....so it is p plus mystery letter....;o)

8:35 am

penquis

ah...pe 8...

8:36 am

bichon

pe 8 is a joke. Hou can you have a comparative off that

8:36 am

bichon

sl 8, pls

8:37 am

lynxxx

8:38 am

bichon

ty lynn

8:39 am

MLFAN17

lynx am I supposed to be able to extend that?

8:39 am

lynxxx

yes - it has 'the most' ending

8:41 am

MLFAN17

took me long enough to figure it out lol ty lynx

8:42 am

MLFAN17

third column lone A?

8:43 am

penquis

an 7....as someone (Molly?) said, it ends with the first four letters of the stun gun....

8:43 am

MLFAN17

nvm I have to go eat now be back

8:46 am

MollyL

pe8 and sl8 sound like bad grammar to me.

8:46 am

penquis

yes, my nuns are rolling over in their graves again...

8:47 am

MollyL

Poor nuns, so much rolling

8:47 am

phaeton

like the word 'funner'

8:47 am

penquis

yes....they rolled twice this week when local newsperson said "off of"....twice in one week!

8:48 am

MollyL

I can just imagine the big red circle on my paper if I handed something in that had "That is the pe8 bog I've ever seen", the Irish girl said...on it.

8:48 am

penquis

yes!

8:52 am

MollyL

Of course, if you look at the way most kids write these days, grammar has become a thing of the past. Sad.

8:52 am

flosey

and penmanship too!!

8:53 am

penquis

yes, it's sad....i am tempted to carry a red pen....so many printed things are grammatically incorrect...

8:53 am

MollyL

They don't even teach penmanship anymore

8:56 am

flosey

presume computers changed that - essays, etc, now being typed

8:57 am

flosey

easier reading for the teacher

8:57 am

MollyL

Most people don't use handwriting anymore. They don't write letters, they don't write checks, heck even most invitations are sent via email. It's unfortunate.

9:00 am

flosey

my brother doesn't own a computer!! but writes the most beautiful letters - real treasures

9:03 am

MollyL

Hand written letters are indeed treasures. I have a box of love letters my parents wrote to each other when my Dad was stationed overseas. Such a great family memento.

9:10 am

Happy "Talk Like a Pirate Day" mateys

9:14 am

hego

9:14 am

therealblah

poodletoes! hi

9:14 am

poodletoes

exactly!

9:15 am

MollyL

And for you doughnut lovers, if you go into a Krispy Kreme and talk like a pirate today, they will give you a free doughnut. If you go in dressed like a pirate, they will give you a free dozen.

9:15 am

poodletoes

my dog is wearing her pirate bandana. Would that be good enough?

9:15 am

hego

Hm, now where did I leave my sword?

9:15 am

penquis

*wishing there was a Krispy Kreme within a few hundred miles of here*...

9:16 am

poodletoes

Blah! are you the blah from wordsplay?

9:16 am

9:17 am

penquis

9:17 am

therealblah

penquis, are you usually on the 5s board?

9:17 am

poodletoes

sometimes i forget which names are where!

9:17 am

penquis

yes, the 5 x 5...

9:18 am

poodletoes

i do that one once in a while. 4s mostly

9:19 am

penquis

used to play at Gander Games.....liked the 6 x 6 and, to a lesser extent, the 7 x 7....

9:20 am

penquis

those boards had higher minimum letter requirements...

9:22 am

Judi

Hiyas, Kiddos!

9:22 am

hego

Hi Judi

9:23 am

Judi

Whoof. Rough week for me. My job at the Police Dept. was abruptly eliminated. I was transferred to another building within the city to do I don't even know what yet. Depression and fear crashing in on me.

9:23 am

penquis

bummer!...

9:24 am

hego

Bear up Judi. It will work out.

9:24 am

poodletoes

mybe you will end up liking the new job more

9:24 am

MLFAN17

third column bottom a?

9:25 am

hego

Try to have a good weekend and start all over on Monday.

9:25 am

Judi

Huh. Wish it was that easy. I've filed all the grievances I can think of. The City Administrator has alreayd shit-canned my Step 1s. Step 2 hearing with one of the (sympathetic and union supporting) Council members takes place this coming Thursday. I can only pray that he overrules the CA.

9:25 am

penquis

an 7....ends with the first four letters of stun gun (Molly's clue)...

9:26 am

flosey

happened to me (way back) Judi - I was sent to another office as a loaner - they asked me to stay, I did and stayed until I married and moved across the country

9:26 am

Judi

Well, crap. I'm already mattered or I might have used that strategy, Flosey!

9:26 am

MollyL

Judi, I am sorry to hear about your job woes. There is nothing worse than starting a day with a job and ending it without one, or with one far different than the one you ha. I wish you luck.

9:27 am

MLFAN17

thank you

9:27 am

MLFAN17

nbt

9:27 am

MollyL

*had

9:27 am

Judi

The City ADministrator is, in our Union's opinion, trampling all over the contract. I am just in shock. He is a miserable bastard to deal with. I think I need a miracle here.

9:28 am

MLFAN17

does the se9 go with se 6or 7?

9:28 am

MollyL

Ooo, if you find the right line to stand in for miracles, let me know. I could use a few.

9:28 am

Judi

Off to breakfast. Later, kids.

9:29 am

penquis

sorry, mlf....don't have the se 9 yet....

9:29 am

9:30 am

therealblah

9 is the plural of the 8

9:30 am

MLFAN17

apparently their is more then one se7 though

9:30 am

MollyL

It's unfortunate that so many people, who have worked long and hard at their jobs, are now being told that their job is "no longer necessary". It's a brutal assault on the ego.

9:30 am

penquis

guess so....

9:30 am

phaeton

se7x3

9:31 am

penquis

9:32 am

poodletoes

or not replaced at all, pen , and others have to pick up that persons work

9:33 am

penquis

9:34 am

poodletoes

9:34 am

MLFAN17

9:38 am

periwinkle

hi all

9:38 am

phaeton

which one peri?

9:38 am

MollyL

Most employers are only interested in what will make them the most money. There is very little concern given to the hard work from or job satisfaction of, the employees

9:38 am

periwinkle

found one of the ad8. ad8/50

9:39 am

phaeton

for the other ad8...add quiz to the ad5/14

9:39 am

periwinkle

very true Molly. My last full time position was eliminated. I collected unemployment and then retired at 65 altho I would have worked til age 70 if could

9:39 am

periwinkle

I think that is the one I have pen

9:41 am

MollyL

The British term for this is very harsh. I have heard people say "I have been made redundant". How can you not take that personally?

9:41 am

MollyL

I mean, one day you are working hard and feeling like what you do matters, and the next day you are "redundant". Ugh.

9:43 am

phaeton

no peri...add it to the ad5 that means the best at what you do

9:43 am

hurshy

there's nothing like a happy cat purring in your arm

9:43 am

periwinkle

9:43 am

phaeton

sorry...add comparative to ad5...to be ablle to change

9:43 am

9:51 am

MollyL

Good clue Mixi

9:53 am

hurshy

i have a te4 today - i am a little nervous

9:53 am

penquis

what are you studying?

9:54 am

hurshy

i have to take a bunch of prereq tests before i can start a masters program in elementary ed. this one is public speaking. i don't actually mind public speaking but for the test you have to record (i don't even know if it is just audio, or video) which i feel like is kind of worse than with actual people

9:55 am

penquis

ah....well try to picture someone you can talk to....

9:55 am

hurshy

i guess.

9:56 am

rururocks

Toastmasters

9:56 am

hurshy

are there any sn words?

9:56 am

hurshy

ooh i just found 2

9:56 am

kje

yes

9:56 am

MollyL

Hurshy, I didn't know that you were a teacher.

9:56 am

rururocks

I loved my public speaking courses. I took two

9:57 am

hurshy

i'm not, yet

9:57 am

hurshy

i just started since we moved by being a teacher aide

9:58 am

mixi6

hated speech class, joined Toastmasters 20 years later and finally learned to a) do it well b) enjoy it.

9:58 am

MollyL

Generally, if you communicate well on a person to person basis, you can flip that into good public speaking.

9:58 am

penquis

i was a high school debater....hated it....but it was a great learning experience....

9:59 am

hurshy

yeah, i really have no prob with actual public speaking, it's the recording, with 10 mins to prep on a topic you don't know in advance, that makes me a little nervous

9:59 am

MollyL

Wow, only ten minutes? That would unnerve me too.

10:01 am

penquis

i would brainstorm ideas, jot them down, and then outline them....it's what i had to do in debate rebuttal....

10:01 am

MollyL

Pen, debate is a whole different animal. You not only have to be ready to present your side, but to rebut the other one.

10:01 am

penquis

yes, that's true.....but the process of prep can be the same...

10:02 am

MollyL

And your suggestion to Hursh is very good, but hard to do in ten minutes.

10:02 am

penquis

we had 8 or 10 minutes to prepare the rebuttal....

10:02 am

hurshy

also you have to be sure you have 3-5 mins of material. over or under that time is automatic failure.

10:03 am

penquis

time yourself reading a paragraph and that will give you an idea about how much content you need...

10:03 am

hurshy

thanks, i think i will do that

10:04 am

MollyL

Good luck, Hursh. Sounds like a challenge.

10:04 am

penquis

well i have to go....the newsletter awaits....bbl to finish...

10:04 am

penquis

good luck, Hurshy!

10:08 am

hurshy

anyone have the bottom A?

10:09 am

kje

an7

10:09 am

10:10 am

10:15 am

MollyL

We played a movie trivia game at a party last weekend and there were people who had never heard of that movie.

10:15 am

hurshy

were they very young or very old?

10:15 am

rururocks

wow

10:15 am

rururocks

that's a classic

10:16 am

MollyL

On the young side, but not young enough to have never heard of it. I mean even if it was before your time, like Ru said, it's a classic.

10:16 am

rururocks

one hasn't lived until they see Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Castro Theatre

10:18 am

kje

shows every month at midnight at the clay, ru - full on madness

10:18 am

MollyL

Oh dear, I haven't lived. *Sniff*

10:18 am

rururocks

*pats molly on the back*

10:19 am

rururocks

people have every line of the script memorized and shout out

10:19 am

rururocks

I like the Clay theater

10:19 am

MollyL

There are some movies I really like, and have seen many times, but when you know the entire script from a movie, it borders on strangeness.

10:20 am

hurshy

princess bride...

10:20 am

rururocks

where's this new Italian restaurant you went to KJ/

10:20 am

kje

extreme tenderloin

10:20 am

rururocks

oh

10:20 am

rururocks

ewwww

10:20 am

kje

we weent again last night prior to show at the orpheum

10:21 am

MollyL

Hursh, Ru still has Princess Bride confused with Princess Diaries. Sad.

10:21 am

rururocks

ah.. the phantom?

10:21 am

kje

you are dating yourself, ru... the tenderloin is in renewal and a hot place

10:21 am

kje

yep

10:21 am

hurshy

silly old ru

10:21 am

rururocks

I can't stand Anne Hathaway

10:21 am

rururocks

:D

10:21 am

hurshy

you are lucky then, she isn't in the princess bride

10:22 am

rururocks

I drive through the Tenderloin at night sometimes KJ..it still looks rough and dangerous

10:23 am

kje

country boy

10:23 am

rururocks

nah.. I just can't do heroin and get back home

10:24 am

hurshy

this conversation has taken a strange turn...

10:24 am

kje

you just have to tolerate the smell of pot and urine...

10:26 am

rururocks

and losers and homeless people and mental cases and drug addicts and religious nut-cases

10:26 am

rururocks

and pit bulls.. sure.. nice neighborhood

10:30 am

rururocks

strange turn?

10:30 am

MollyL

See Hursh, Ru keeps mentioning Anne Hathaway in reference to The Princess Bride. He has no clue what a good movie he has missed.

10:31 am

MollyL

Andre The Giant would never have been in a movie with Anne Hathaway.

10:31 am

rururocks

I know a lot about princesses.. trust me .. I don't need a movie too

10:32 am

MollyL

No, this movie is not about that kind of princess. It's a modern day fairy tale. Good stuff and very funny. It also involves pirates.

10:33 am

hurshy

murdered by pirates is good

10:33 am

hurshy

ruru IS the grandson, lol

10:33 am

MollyL

No, that's wrong, it's not modern day. But it is not about the kind of princesses you are thinking of.

10:34 am

MollyL

Oh he is, Hursh. He was cute (like Fred Savage) when he was younger.

10:34 am

MollyL

Not that he isn't cute now, but I've only seen a six year old picture of him.

10:35 am

rururocks

I don't feel cute

10:39 am

hurshy

nobody FEELS cute. little kittens feel FEROCIOUS.

10:41 am

MollyL

People who feel cute after age 55 have usually stopped looking in the mirror.

10:41 am

hurshy

haha

10:42 am

rururocks

amen sister

10:42 am

hurshy

yeah cuteness is weird that way. my niece and nephew are cute but kids usually say "i'm NOT CUTE!" when you tell them they are. like they think it means you don't take them seriously if they are cute.

10:43 am

MollyL

So sad. When you really are cute, you don't want to be cute. When you are too old to be cute, you would love to be cute again.

10:44 am

rubyfoo

Well Ruby, you still have cute shoes. That counts.

11:14 am

therealblah

clue for st5/16 please?

11:15 am

rururocks

I don't have that sorry

11:16 am

MollyL

st5/16 sounds like what a rock with green icky stuff is like when you take it out of the water. Change up the second to the last consonant.

11:17 am

MollyL

It is a variant spelling of a word that means to hinder or prevent

11:19 am

therealblah

ah thx molly

11:27 am

rururocks

not getting that st 5/16..

11:29 am

rururocks

got it.. that one was well hidden

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a general question about cooking. has anyone tried making pizza crust with cauliflower? and if so, what did you think?

11:33 am

rururocks

cauliflower and flour?

11:33 am

rururocks

never heard of it

11:35 am

MollyL

There are some things that do not go together. Pizza and cauliflower are two of them.

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

differene recipes. one used it with parmesan and egg to bind.

11:37 am

mattygroves

Anyone have the stats for the lone A in the bottom row?

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

cauliflower is the new kale. cauliflower steaks are a trendy preparation.

11:37 am

rururocks

to be honest TO.. sounds like it'd be difficult to make

11:38 am

rururocks

I can't imagine cauliflower binding

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

the technique is to make it rice like then work it into a crust

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

i have not eaten this veg except in a blend. it seems as if it would be tasteless.

11:41 am

rururocks

it has a mild sulfur-y aspect to its smell

11:41 am

rururocks

when baked

11:41 am

MollyL

Pizza is essentially junk food. Cauliflower is healthy food. I'm not sure I see the point in mixing the two. I like cauliflower as a vegetable, but I would never incorporate it into pizza. The new kale? I guess that is what I miss not following the trends of the food fanatics.

11:42 am

rururocks

it is kind of tasteless TO.. It's ok in soups and stuff.

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

so the answer to my inquiry is that no one has tried this. I have a Fb friend who loves the stuff, i will ask her.

11:43 am

rururocks

yep.. never tried it.

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

but ty for the editorials.

11:43 am

rururocks

just trying to help

11:44 am

bichon

at 6, pls

11:44 am

bojazz

a recent report rate kale as one of the poorest greens in nutrients - spinach finished #1 - heck, bell peppers even had a higher rating than kale...

11:44 am

ChampFit

TO...I tried it. Didn't come out so great. Did the same with zucchini, which came out much better.

11:45 am

MollyL

Oh sorry, I didn't know opinions on the question were not welcome.

11:45 am

rururocks

Kale has a lot of Potassium Boj doesn't it?

11:45 am

MollyL

Yes Bojazz, but people will believe anything they read on the internet about food.
: D

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

ty champ. i think zucchini is flavorless. but i have used slices as a crust of sorts for an italian meat pie.

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i am not cooking any vegetable that requires a massage! :)

11:49 am

bichon

Zucchini, like tofu, takes on the flavor of what it is cooked in

11:49 am

harpjane

TO I think seain has done that

11:49 am

MollyL

Kale has potassium content. However you have to relate the amount of kale you need to meet the potassium value and usually you would have to eat a TON of kale to get the potassium value you get from other greens like spinach and swiss chard.

11:49 am

harpjane

stats for the lone A please?

11:50 am

rururocks

good point molly. I like Chard a lot better than kale. I cook it all the time

11:50 am

bichon

jane, where is it

11:50 am

rururocks

that's the an 7 I think harp

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

does chard taste like spinach?

11:51 am

bichon

at 6, pls

11:51 am

rururocks

I think it tastes better than spinach.. to be honest

11:51 am

bichon

sort of TO

11:51 am

rururocks

less grassy

11:52 am

harpjane

that was it, thanks

11:52 am

rururocks

I sautÃ© it with some olive oil shallots, garlic, and balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. Delish

11:52 am

72 Temple Owl

but like it? i hate cooked spinach. in anything.

11:53 am

rururocks

I like raw spinach. but I don't like it cooked either

11:53 am

rururocks

11:54 am

bichon

ty ru

11:55 am

rururocks

it's harder on the east coast.. lots of veggies are tired by the time they get there.. at least in Long Island it was that way when I was there for a while

11:55 am

MollyL

Broadening your diet with vegetables is a healthy idea. I'm not sure adding them to pizza is the way to go, though.

11:55 am

72 Temple Owl

may try the cauliflower steaks. but if you have to put a lt of stuff like pine nut and golden raisins, not worth the effort

11:56 am

bichon

True, ru, when I go to the Bay Area, I can get better produce anywhere I go

11:56 am

bichon

Did you ever go to the Monteray Market in Berkeley?

11:56 am

72 Temple Owl

lots of emphasis on local and organix now. and frozen is the way to go for out of season, though seasonal eating is best, the winter would be full of root vegetables and starch.

11:56 am

MollyL

On the Right Coast, we only have "in season" vegetables for a few months. The rest of the time, they are "tired" like you said.

11:56 am

rururocks

sure.. they are pretty good. They are better farmer's markets though

oh i hate this. 3/4 of the way through this cooking show and THEN they disclose that hard boiled egg is integral to the recipe. yuck

11:58 am

mattygroves

Ru, where on Long Island were you?

11:58 am

MollyL

New players seldom get the "nbt nbs bbl" comments.

12:01 pm

12:01 pm

2:34 pm

TraderKate

*wonders what the chemical matrix of tequila is*

2:35 pm

hego

No idea

2:35 pm

hego

some kind of ethanol

2:35 pm

Judi

I don't really care. Just wondering.

2:36 pm

2:37 pm

Judi

Good point.

2:37 pm

Judi

Where's Ruru today?

2:37 pm

2:37 pm

hego

He was here earlier, I think.

2:38 pm

dan2bit

can I have a clue for pa6 the la4 one?

2:38 pm

Judi

I did find the SA28, so nyah.

2:38 pm

TraderKate

C2H5OH
that's the ethyl alcohol component.. the part that makes it tequilla is probably a closely held corporate secret...

2:39 pm

Judi

I think agave is the part that makes it tequila. Like, duh!

2:39 pm

MollyL

pa6...you get a ___ check on Friday + Jack be ___ble

dan2bit

ty Moll

2:39 pm

Judi

Hiya, Dan!

2:40 pm

TraderKate

2:57 pm

Judi

Sorry. I'm a bit lost. Were any of those Se clues for the 9?

sukee

Hello all

5:54 pm

rururocks

hello sukee

5:54 pm

sukee

Hi ruru.

5:55 pm

sukee

How are you.

5:56 pm

rururocks

today? pretty good.

5:56 pm

rururocks

are you recovering from your pain from the shingles?

5:56 pm

sukee

That is good.

5:56 pm

rururocks

I got a vaccine when I turned 60 for shingles and whooping cough

5:57 pm

sukee

Well, the rash is going away but the pa 4/5 is still there. I'm still taking pain killers three times a day.

5:57 pm

rururocks

ouch..

5:57 pm

sukee

I had planned to get the vaccine when I was 60 :) It got me before I could.

5:57 pm

rururocks

it's like a nerve pain isn't it?

5:58 pm

rururocks

I told the nurse when she gave me the whooping cough shot that this doesn't preclude me from having whoopy does it ? She didn't laugh.

5:58 pm

sukee

Yes it is. And one part of the rash was on my spine and part on the large muscle in my shoulder and that is causing a lot of pa4/5

5:58 pm

rururocks

I'm sorry to hear that.

5:59 pm

sukee

I assume it will eventually stop.

5:59 pm

sukee

Had a restless night last night.

5:59 pm

rururocks

I think it takes a month or so doesn't it? I am not sure

5:59 pm

sukee

Well, I have enough pain killers for a month.

6:00 pm

sukee

Other than Advil, will have to get more of that.

6:00 pm

rururocks

yes.. it should settle down then.. the sooner the better

6:00 pm

sukee

Amen, because it hurts to lie down at times.

6:02 pm

rururocks

I can relate.. I bruised or broke a rib in a fall and I can only sleep on my back

6:02 pm

lynxxx

mmmm - apparently I need to wait until I am 70 to get the 'free' vaccine for shingles here. O bviously you are young enough to cope with the p4 b4 then

6:03 pm

sukee

Ours is not covered either.

6:03 pm

sukee

Sorry to hear that ruru

6:03 pm

sukee

It costs about $160

6:04 pm

lynxxx

and considering they say i in 2 older people will get it - seems kinda crazy

6:04 pm

rururocks

I think I had to pay for mine too lynxx

6:04 pm

rururocks

I'm not big on needles either

6:05 pm

sukee

I will put up with a shot if it means I never get this again :)

6:05 pm

rururocks

not knowing how old you are sukee.. usually it is done on your 60th

6:06 pm

sukee

I am 58.

6:06 pm

rururocks

ah.. well.. then probably in a couple of years.

6:06 pm

sukee

Although I asked my doctor and they said the jury is out on whether the shot can help after you have had it once.

6:06 pm

lynxxx

they must be hoping a lot of 60 yo's hop the twig b4 they are 70 here...cuts down on cost

6:07 pm

sukee

lol, hop the twig :)

6:08 pm

lynxxx

not an expression over there?

6:08 pm

rururocks

no

6:09 pm

sukee

I understood it but found it funny :)

6:10 pm

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, that is a new one for me

6:10 pm

rururocks

sukee needed to branch out

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

ugh. had dinner but still hungry. whats up with that?

6:10 pm

rururocks

did you make the cauliflower pizza TO?

6:11 pm

lynxxx

...and we're off... Go Ru

6:11 pm

rururocks

:D.. sorry lynn.. I went out on a limb on that joke

6:11 pm

lynxxx

the cauli flower pizza is happening down here too

6:12 pm

rururocks

wow.. I never heard of it until TO mentioned it this morning

6:12 pm

sukee

Depressing, my team was winning until the 8th inning.

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. i cannot get over the yuck factor of cauliflower. i leftover pork cutlet milanese with salad and spaghetti

6:13 pm

sukee

I love cauliflower.

6:13 pm

sukee

I had some with dinner.

6:13 pm

lynxxx

I saw it in a local newspapare last week and someone mentioned it yesterday - in a cook book? - apparently it is delicious

6:14 pm

rururocks

that's what I thought TO.. it didn't really sound appealing to me either

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i watched valerie bertinelli rice the cauliflower and mix it with Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper and bake. then add toppings and bake again/

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

lynn, are they also touting cauliflower steaks?

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

brb, must start more food before i start eating dessert stuff.

6:16 pm

lynxxx

saw Jamie O grill pieces and then put in a curry - looked delish. Cauli is pretty bland so guess you can use it for a lot of things

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am wondering about the texture.

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

of crust

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i tried the microwave corn meme too but could not get it to pop out of the husk. tasted great though.

6:19 pm

lynxxx

I did a dish where you cook fillet of beef with cauli and balsamic vinegar etc (all on one tray) - was fantastic

6:20 pm

lynxxx

(salivating thinking about it!)

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

balsamic makes everything better. just roasting chicken with it is fab.

6:20 pm

MimiCat

Absolutely ADORE cauliflower. The texture depends on how it's cooked. If you boil it, the texture will be more soft. But if you roast it and drizzle with oil or butter first and add spice, is more firm and has texture. Valerie did what I do...I cut it into "steaks" and prepare with whatever additional flavors I want it to have and roast in the oven until browned on both sides...yum. I also make a cauliflower casserole with chicken, onions potatoes and cheese that is yummy.

6:21 pm

sukee

I like mashing it instead of potatoes some times.

6:21 pm

rururocks

I don't cook it that often

6:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was at a loss how to cook chicken thighs for the meals for elderly, then tried balsamic. yum

6:22 pm

rururocks

hi mimi

6:22 pm

sukee

I'm off for now, take care all.

6:22 pm

lynxxx

I'll tell my husband about that Mimi - sure beats the hell out of boiling it and smothering with cheese sauce

6:22 pm

rururocks

bye sukee.. get better

6:22 pm

MimiCat

Yes, sukee, that's lovely. Also, speaking of balsamic, putting it on the cauliflower and roasting is great.

6:22 pm

MimiCat

((ruru))

6:22 pm

lynxxx

bye Sukee

6:22 pm

sukee

Thanks

6:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

and it doesn't have to be highly ages, the vinegar cooks out and leaves the sweet taste.

6:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh sukee, hope you are on the mend soon.

6:23 pm

MimiCat

Thought I'd pop in for a moment. Preparing to go to the hospital for neurological tests tomorrow. Guess they'll finally determine if I actually have a brain. If not, I'll have to take up the occupation of a scarecrow.

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

good luck, mimi

6:24 pm

rururocks

that's a good start mimi.. at least they can start on what's the matter

6:26 pm

MimiCat

They'd better figure it out. I haven't been able to stand/walk for over a week AGAIN. Tired of this...want my life back. Hey, they've tested for everything except whatever is wrong so at least we've narrowed it down. I'm going to one of the best hospitals for neurology..people come there from all over the world. It's the same place that treated Brett Michaels.

6:26 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, TO

6:27 pm
