Crazy Morning! Nurse woke me and climbed into my bed to give me a blood test. Weird way towake upÃ

5:56 am

welki

now that's bedside manner!

5:56 am

rururocks

a nurse climbing into bed would scare the heck out of me

5:57 am

rururocks

unless she was really cute and feisty

5:58 am

rururocks

just sayin'

5:59 am

rubyfoo

l'd like i t better if it was one of the dogs, but they never

6:02 am

origami

I am always covered with dogs and the cat at night.

6:03 am

rubyfoo

My bed is big enough for several dogs and cats

6:05 am

MollyL

I wish my kid's cat was like your dogs, Ruby. That thing climbs on everything, including the kitchen counter which grosses me out.

6:05 am

mattygroves

I tried googling that backless day bed - all I got were shopping results (i.e. people wanting to sell me the darned things - not the actual name for it)

6:06 am

rururocks

it's worse when they sit down on the counter molly

6:06 am

origami

Une - your recent transport is so cute.

6:06 am

rubyfoo

My first chow, Rosie, used tosnatch foodoff the table if we werenb'tlooking

6:06 am

MollyL

Matty, try putting "crossword" in front of your search

6:07 am

rururocks

I'm coming back as a little beagle so une will adopt me

6:08 am

MollyL

You will never have to wait to pee
: D

6:08 am

mattygroves

That did it - thanks Molly!

6:08 am

mattygroves

That ER5 from the middle E is driving me bonkers as well...

6:09 am

rururocks

I told you .. I've been drinking lots of water and practicing

6:09 am

MollyL

No creature is more loved or well cared for than an animal of Une's.

6:09 am

origami

I want to come back as one of Jacula's cats. We already have an arrangement in place.

6:09 am

MollyL

Matty, girls name

6:10 am

mattygroves

Of course - thanks again Molly!

6:10 am

mattygroves

Off to the supermarket soon for last minute bits and pieces - that won't be a barrel of laughs

6:11 am

origami

good luck, matty. I have to do the same when it opens.

6:11 am

MollyL

I just came back from the grocery store. The only time I will go in there on Christmas Eve is before 7 AM. The rest of the day it is a mad house.

6:11 am

rururocks

<---did his shopping yesterday.. all done

6:11 am

mattygroves

We have our bird (duck) and veg - it really is just last minute stuff...but somehow, a fair amount of it

6:11 am

MollyL

Whatever I don't have now, I'm not getting. Except ice, at the 7-11 later tonight.

6:11 am

origami

I just need cat food.

6:12 am

welki

i forgot lemons

6:12 am

MollyL

I managed to lay out 50 bucks on last minute stuff.

6:12 am

rururocks

my roast cost me $180 bucks

6:12 am

mattygroves

We need parsley, prawns, puff pastry, dishwasher salt, pasta, milk, bread, eggs...and more. We thought it would be a small shop

6:12 am

welki

standing rib roast?

6:12 am

mattygroves

We're just the two of us this Christmas, so a duck is ample

6:13 am

rururocks

yep welki.. good guess

6:13 am

rubyfoo

how big is it, ru?

6:13 am

MollyL

Mine was 80 Ru, but it is a tenderloin on the smaller side.

6:13 am

origami

Wow, ru! Expecting a big crowd?

6:13 am

rururocks

enough for 8 people.. four ribs

6:13 am

rururocks

I have a crowd ori.. pray for me

6:13 am

MollyL

I had duck once. It was too greasy for my taste.

6:14 am

welki

so i think that's like 7 or 8 pounds

6:14 am

rururocks

it takes practice to cook duck

6:14 am

mattygroves

I love it. I will gently prick the skin, roast it directly on the top oven shelf with the potatoes and onions directly below to catch all that lovely dripping

6:14 am

rururocks

yep.. I think it's 8 pounds

6:15 am

origami

I like duck. You have to prepare it a certain way so it is not greasy.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

When husband andl were just two, l'd make capon

6:15 am

welki

i like duck - i make it with an orange/amaretto glaze

6:15 am

rururocks

a capon is a transgender chicken

6:16 am

mattygroves

That sounds lovely! I'm using 5 spice powder with a halved clementine in the neck...and a cinnamon stick. Stock and potatoes at the bottom

6:16 am

rubyfoo

After the surgery

6:16 am

MollyL

The ghost of Ruby's Christmas capons past still haunt her yard
: D

6:16 am

origami

Do you know Corti Brothers Market, Ru?

6:16 am

rururocks

yes

6:16 am

welki

are you keeping the asian theme for the whole dinner, matty, or just for the duck?

6:17 am

rururocks

I know Darryl well

6:17 am

rubyfoo

l used to cook duck on a rack

6:17 am

MollyL

That sounds good Matty. I would like to try duck that way.

6:17 am

rururocks

the trick is starting it at high temps molly

6:17 am

origami

You can get goose and pheasant there. I almost bought a goose this year, but not sure how to cook it.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Happy Christmas, everybo**;l think l'm going back to bed

6:18 am

rururocks

I've never cooked a goose

6:18 am

rururocks

bye ruby

6:18 am

welki

...but i bet you've had yours cooked once or twice

6:18 am

rururocks

I've taken a gander at it though ori

6:18 am

MollyL

Merry Christmas Ruby

6:18 am

welki

6:20 am

origami

Maybe Ryan Gosling will help me out

6:20 am

rururocks

6:20 am

MollyL

You would need to be cooking for a flock of people

6:21 am

rubyfoo

Fortunately,my friends from Dublin bring most of the food (salmon,ham, etc) fromthere. l just bring the champagne

6:22 am

rururocks

the real trouble molly is to get the people to migrate out of the kitchen :D

6:23 am

origami

The gaggle tends to congregate there

6:26 am

welki

6:26 am

6:35 am

MollyL

8:25 pm

NatashaW

Napoleon era salon in Paris was run by Mme Re8,50... wonder if it comes from that

8:41 pm

NatashaW

yes, it's the type of couch she reclined upon :-)

9:00 pm

NatashaW

FW! Happy babbling all and to all a good night!

9:01 pm

rururocks

Hard to believe. One can only take that sofa. Errr sofar

9:02 pm

NatashaW

It depends how well you couch that phrase ruru

9:03 pm

rururocks

You arenâ€™t futoning me on are you?

9:03 pm

NatashaW

But if you go chaising rabbits...

9:04 pm

9:14 pm

rururocks

Lol

9:15 pm

NatashaW

Totally OT... I've recently discovered my library offers free access to the film library on Kanopy. Amazing collection of films! I'm probably the last one to discover this but in case you missed it

9:16 pm

rururocks

Hmm

9:16 pm

NatashaW

The entire Criterion collection, Fred Wiseman documentaries, foreign films, Great Courses... amazing.

9:17 pm

NatashaW

kanopy.com and check to see if your library offers access. I'm using my son's college account so I have unlimited. My home library offers me 10 films a month access pass.

9:17 pm

rururocks

That sounds like a good deal

9:18 pm

NatashaW

I'll probably drop Netflix!

9:18 pm

it is an uncommon word. A word from Napoleon era France. It is a kind of couch named after a Mme Re8 who ran a Napoleon era salon.

11:41 pm

rururocks
