1:37 am

sprite

ah! What did you cook

1:38 am

sprite

?

1:38 am

rururocks

three salads.. (arugula/pear/pomegranate) Beet with orange segments and a dark balsamic dressing and a watercress shrimp and grapefruit salad

1:39 am

sprite

ohhhh that must look so beautiful, great colour combinations. And sounds yummy as well.

1:40 am

rururocks

Main course was Prime Rib with steamed Veggies, Rosemary roasted potatoes, carrots with Shallots, chicken stock and fresh Thyme and baked yams with an amaretto crust

1:40 am

rururocks

then we had tons of desserts (not me)

1:40 am

sprite

good grief. That is some serious eating. Lovely menu.

1:41 am

rururocks

big crowd and mixed group.. I was cooking all day

1:41 am

sprite

I am sure it was appreciated

1:42 am

rururocks

yep.. I'm glad things turned out.. there was other stuff but that's the main menu

1:42 am

sprite

love it. Think I am gonna hide in your place and steal some food next year :D

1:54 am

sprite

night ru! *hug* And have a lovely day

2:03 am

ursh

I have a setting on my car aircon that says "demist" enable says it is not a word ?

2:26 am

jwr

Are you sure that part of the car didn't come from a non-English-speaking country, ursh?

2:29 am

Lizlin

Demist is used in UK cars.

2:31 am

Lizlin

I always try to enter it.

2:31 am

jwr

Hmmm. Are you sure it's 100% UK? They could be using Belgian bolts and Danish Demist.

2:32 am

Lizlin

Pretty sure. I lived in the UK much longer than Iâ€™ve lived here.

2:33 am

Lizlin

Just googled demist - British word.

2:34 am

jwr

OK. Just funnin'. I just came back from an annual sojourn to the New Asia Restaurant - huge place, seats 2,200 - to listen to four brilliant stand-up comics perform the Kung Pao Kosher Komedy. It was a blast.

2:34 am

Lizlin

That sounds like fun.

2:35 am

jwr

That's good Liz. Now we know Enable is not all its cracked up to be. .... but, it's all we've got. *sob*

2:36 am

Lizlin

I should be used to enable now - words it accepts, those it doesnâ€™t and as for multiple spellling of Yiddish words ...

2:37 am

jwr

It was fabulous fun. Lots of Yiddish words!

2:37 am

Lizlin

ðŸ˜Š

2:37 am

jwr

ha

2:38 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™ll gave to google Kung Pao Kosher Comedy. Sounds a blast.

2:38 am

Lizlin

Perhaps Iâ€™ll find a clip on YouTube.

2:39 am

jwr

I don't know if you realize it's an American Jewish tradition to eat out in Chinese restaurants on Christmas day. Started because everything else was closed.

2:41 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™ve seen that. Good tradition. I spent the day cooking.

2:41 am

jwr

Let me know if you find one. I doubt it. This was mostl an older crowd and I didn't see any phones being held uup - but that doesn't mean anything.

2:41 am

Lizlin

Will do

2:41 am

jwr

What did you cook up?

2:42 am

Lizlin

Yes there are YouTube clips.

2:42 am

Lizlin

Fish balls, pita, granola.

2:43 am

jwr

I never thought to look myself. Thanks a bunch.

2:43 am

jwr

I never thought to look myself. Thanks a bunch.

2:43 am

Lizlin

I did a straight google, then selected videos.

2:44 am

jwr

Sounds tasty AND healthy, great combination. Shame to spend Xmas day cooking, though. hm. Guess I never thought to look ... twice.

2:45 am

Lizlin

Well we did use our pool too.

2:46 am

Lizlin

Unhealthy cooking tomorrow. Biscuits. Family arriving at the weekend.

2:46 am

jwr

Now I'm torn. Got to start Babble soon or fall into bed. ..... oh the pool, eh. I've almost forgotten what one uses a pool for. Hope you had a lovely day, though.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Relaxing - but itâ€™s nearly 7pm on 26th now!

2:47 am

jwr

I was kidding you earlier but demist is a totally logical word, unlike some that get any old prefix stuck on.

2:48 am

Lizlin

I realised you were joking but I was interested in the fact itâ€™s a UK word. We donâ€™t use defog in the UK. Or here either I think.

2:49 am

jwr

Yes, it is relaxing. And as far as exercise goes, the Best! You get twice the results for half the effort.

2:52 am

jwr

OK. Made up my addled mind. Going to bed - it's just on 1am and I've been up since 7am. Yawn. Got to get at least one night's rest before New Year's comes along. Nice chatting with you,

2:53 am

Lizlin

Sleep well.

2:53 am

jwr

Ta Liz. Next time. Bye..

3:38 am

5:58 am

MollyL

If you are wearing a bra and underpants, you are wearing undies. If you are wearing the bra only, you are wearing an undie. Works for me.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

or a porn story about undies under the tree

6:00 am

mattygroves

It was based on a dream Jeff had about zombie Jehovah's Witnesses.

6:02 am

rubyfoo

That's a scary idea! 5They are even here in France and are alqays surprised when l recognize them for what they're doing. There's even a Kingdom Hall

6:03 am

rubyfoo

or a story about un- Jehovah's Witnesses in undes. Hoq creepy is that?

6:04 am

MollyL

Jeff dreams about zombie Jehovah's Witnesses? A shrink would have a field day with that. : D

11:01 am

saanichcat

what kind of cookies? can I come over?

11:01 am

dcseain

just chocolate chip. this time with no cinnamon, which i usually put in. I also used 3/4 whole wheat and 1/4 cake flour. We'll see how that works out.

11:02 am

saanichcat

THAT sounds wonderful!

11:03 am

dcseain

I used the Baker's Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from Kraft Canada, as that's my favorite, even though i change it up a bit.

11:05 am

saanichcat

those recipes always used to be super reliable -- glad they still are

11:05 am

dcseain

i first got the recipe from Bakers Chocolate Chips bags, but i can't find those here anymore, and when i do, no recipe on the bag. Yay internet.

11:06 am

dcseain

i had family in Montreal and Brossard, QC growing up. I was very confused the first time i saw a store that said The Bay instead of La Baie. LOL

11:14 am

dcseain

first tray looks good. i'll move them to the racks in o moment.

11:14 am

saanichcat

LOL for sure, big time. We have sure both had strange knowledge of The Bay. Where I grew up, the Bay was a shacky type of place that was full of furs coming in and tinned goods going out. That was at Great Slave Lake, NWT, Canada, a while back...

11:15 am

dcseain

LOL That makes sense for up ther.

it is, but perhaps in a different form than the one currently in media headlines. the one ending in -oid is the adj form of the noun and means the drug is made with op5.

1:35 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

thanks, but I'm still confused

1:36 pm

NatashaW

little hard to give more info without just giving the word itself

1:36 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

its okay, I'll try to figure it out later

1:37 pm

NatashaW

Ever read Sherlock Holmes? He would regularly visit op5 dens

1:37 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

no sorry

1:37 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

1:38 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

I researched that, and found it thanks

1:39 pm

NatashaW

good! Sherlock Holmes stories are great to read BTW

1:40 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

so I've heard, I might check it out some time, after I get through all the books I own lol

1:43 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

there is actually an epidemic of the -oid going where I live, I don't really read much newspapers/magazines or watch the news, I only know it from people talking about it so much about it being an epidemic around these parts

1:47 pm

PastorJ

Sorry, Hannah - stepped away for a bit and didn't see your question! Glad NatashaW helped you out!

ty for clue. got it finally. terrible word. never heard of it

2:31 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

me niether

2:31 pm

mkg

looking for the ex 8. any clues? ty

2:32 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

the dictionary says its an adjective that means obsolete

2:32 pm

lynxxx

ex8 most of the way out, themn there is a p word meaning very religious - use that but change the P to another consonant

2:33 pm

ch1212

great clue, lynxxx - thanks.

2:33 pm

lynxxx

yw

2:34 pm

mkg

well i got the first par, but then how do i get to the P?

2:34 pm

lynxxx

use the p5 word meaning very religious

2:35 pm

lynxxx

perhaps read my original clue again

2:35 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

pi5/14 shes talking about

2:35 pm

mkg

from the ex, how do i get to the P? that is where i am failing. the P 5 uses the three vowels. that is my issue

2:35 pm

ch1212

mkg, there is no P. Use a different consonant :)

2:35 pm

KnightTime

lynxxx's clue state to replace the P

2:36 pm

mkg

the ex is not near the p at all.

2:37 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

mkg, do you have pi5/14?

2:37 pm

mkg

to get from the x to the p requires that is use the d and i. but if i use the i, i cant make the religious word. if i go ex and then de, i must then use the c to get there.

2:37 pm

mkg

i have pi 5 14. yes

2:37 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

replace the p with another consonant

2:37 pm

KnightTime

as stated in lynxxx clue - REPLACE the P

2:38 pm

mkg

perhaps it is exwaso and then i get to the p. or it is exdeco to the p.............

2:38 pm

KnightTime

i have to go pee

2:38 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

there is no p in the word

2:38 pm

mkg

i totally missed the replacing the p. sorry.

2:38 pm

MehNameIsHannahh

exclude the p entirely

2:38 pm

lynxxx

lol Knight

2:39 pm

mkg

3:00 pm

Brrrrrrr, TO. We have 40F here, so chilly.

3:01 pm

well that's 43F.

3:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's that time when the sun is going down, gets cold of a sudden.

3:02 pm

lol! Ah, yes, put me in that category of uneducated U.S. citizens who can't convert! (sad, so sad, but true)

3:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

heck , neither can i, the weather channel converts. aside from 32F being 0c. i have no clue.:)

3:05 pm

ch1212

My beloved husband does it in his head, easily. But he's lived and studied in Europe... plus, he's mathematically inclined, where I'm better with words.

3:06 pm

KnightTime

for F to C subtract 30 and divide by 2 (approximates) so 40F is about 5C

3:07 pm

ch1212

Sure, KnighTime... Mr. Brains. My husband has told me that formula a bunch of times, but ...... I think my brain malfunctions when it sees a math problem. lol!

3:10 pm

ch1212

KnightTime, you must have a math brain too!

3:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

anyone care to clue the 10?

3:11 pm

Sorry, I don't have the 10 yet.

3:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

allergic to fragranced candle

3:16 pm

ch1212

TO, you should definitely ask if you can turn up the heat in your bedroom. Chances are they keep the heat down not realizing that guests get cold. Hope you will say something ... and put that candle into a bottom drawer until you're ready to leave. Warm hugs to you!

3:16 pm

We went to my sister's an hours drive away and I left my purse there so we have to go back to get leftovers tomorrow

3:33 pm

Hi Bugsaw! We had a fun, festive feast with assorted meats and cheeses, fruits, excellent wine, and decadent desserts instead of the traditional sit down dinner. It was just the two of us, and great fun!

3:33 pm

Soodle

Will continue with the Hannah non engagement, but will give that Babbling Bugsaw a massive hug!! Hey Hun(((;)))

3:33 pm

Your icon is especially appropriate given your comment about leftovers, Ruru! lol!

3:35 pm

Bugsaw

Glad you had a good time ch1212. It can be hard to make it feel like a feast when there are only 2

3:35 pm

Bugsaw

Tomorrow our other siblings are coming for a leftover meal. It could become a tradition so noone had to eat turkey in some form for every meal for weeks.

3:36 pm

ch1212

We called daughter and opened gifts over the phone, so it felt a bit like she was there. I love your new tradition of the leftover meal with everyone.

not sure, I'll check

10:38 pm

jwr

Nope. The one I didn't have a definition for doesn't have a definition in Enable either. Going to google.

10:43 pm

(1) The word I was looking for is obsolete. That's about par for Enable. (2) But it was a da word anyway. Now I shall go track down ... very very softly ... the de word.

You have a puppy!!?

11:48 pm

o2baflyndog

So cute!

11:52 pm

stidmama

well drat. I cannot get it to load. He's three now, a wonderful rescue mutt -- part golden (I was told), part shepherd, possibly part chow or pit. A soft mouth for a shepherd, a lot more independent than a lab... LOL he's smarter than the average third grade teacher, that's for sure!

11:52 pm

stidmama

Oh, and he's a red-head. ;-)

11:53 pm

o2baflyndog

I saw a pic of him... it was really large and sideways, but I could see him. He's very handsome! Smart dogs are the bane of my existence. And the joy.

11:53 pm

stidmama

His name is Wally. Or Wallace Walls of Walltown on formal occasions. He owns me.

11:54 pm

stidmama

:-) I am glad you could see the pic. I'll go back to the other one then, so I don't bog down the servers.

11:54 pm

o2baflyndog

Oh wow! My first frisbee dog was named Wally. Short for Captain Wallace Marvel, Fearless Freedom Fighter, Defender of Truth and Justice. =)

11:55 pm

o2baflyndog

Are you on the fb group? I just got added. You can show me there.

11:56 pm

stidmama

LOVE IT! Wally would be a good frisbee dog if I could trust him off leash. He's very FAST, and he loves chicken (with or without BBQ sauce)... which are abundant in our semi-rural area

11:56 pm

stidmama
