10:59 am

BzznBea

Left to right, top to bottom.

10:59 am

BzznBea

One letter at a time.

11:01 am

MollyL

So you don't participate in the somewhat strange practice of NBT/NBS? I have never understood that one.

11:02 am

BzznBea

No.

11:05 am

BzznBea

If a clue is given for a letter I'm not ready to work on, I might put it in, I might not.

12:08 pm

MollyL

Your stew sounds good Peri. Always a good idea to make something like that the day before. That gives all the flavoring a chance to settle in.

12:08 pm

periwinkle

I love one pot cooking

12:09 pm

periwinkle

and thanks

12:10 pm

Sophie512

thanks for the recipe, peri, I enjoy making soups, getting to be that time of the year

12:10 pm

periwinkle

if anyone makes it please let me know if you liked it

12:10 pm

periwinkle

I love to make soups and stews in one pot

12:11 pm

periwinkle

I am stuck here bbl

12:13 pm

MollyL

I would probably use more seasoning than just salt, pepper and oregano. I would also use a whole bay leaf.

12:15 pm

Sophie512

yall and yalls are real words here in TN

12:15 pm

MollyL

Also I am not sure I would use dry mustard in this. And I think it is supposed to be 1/4 tsp of the dry mustard and pepper, not 14 tsp.
: D

12:15 pm

MollyL

All y'all is a real phrase with me

12:25 pm

bichon

Definitely here in CT

12:25 pm

dan2bit

yes a lot of people don't know that y'all can be singular

12:30 pm

hokie carla

all y'all is the plural

12:39 pm

MollyL

My friend from Louisiana does, he says "Molly, where y'all at?"

1:03 pm

Sophie512

and if it belongs to an entire group, I've heard all ya'lls

1:04 pm

amelu0218

or both y'all (if addressing a couple)

1:05 pm

Sophie512

yes :)

1:06 pm

amelu0218

but y'all can identify an entire group or family as well as singular, lol.

hi all!

1:45 pm

periwinkle

thanks Molly I fixed the recipe

1:45 pm

periwinkle

what other spices would you use? I have used cayenne pepper in the past

1:47 pm

joym999

That fish stew sounds good! I would add thyme, but I add thyme to everything. Also, I'd saute the onions first because I don't like the texture of boiled onions.

1:47 pm

periwinkle

sometimes I saute the onions but I do not care for thyme

1:47 pm

periwinkle

I also added some fresh garlic this time

1:48 pm

joym999

garlic is always a good addition.

1:53 pm

hokie carla

hey joy!

1:54 pm

hokie carla

ah, finally found the ridiculous R set

1:55 pm

joym999

ridiculous R set???

1:55 pm

hokie carla

just a do-over word that's kinda silly

1:55 pm

joym999

hmmmm

1:56 pm

joym999

Maybe it's the RE7 that I'm missing?

1:56 pm

joym999

oh wait, I have all the 7s.

1:56 pm

joym999

2 of them seem a little silly to me.

2:27 pm

All re7s are plurals.
