Hi aslindy. A small grid, waaah.

5:32 am

mattygroves

Am I likely to have heard the TH7 and 8 in conversation, please?

5:32 am

Scrabbler

I have nothing bigger than a 5.

5:33 am

aslindy

5:40 am

mattygroves

Found them with the help of the list - never heard of either.

5:40 am

mattygroves

Plant proteins, apparently

5:41 am

Uneaixoise

New to me......found via morewords

5:42 am

aslindy

5:43 am

aslindy

5:44 am

Scrabbler

I just found cu6 and 7 = type of cookie commonly made for Xmas.

6:10 am

mael

I'll come back later, haha

6:25 am

7:36 am

MollyL

The cookie hint was somewhat misleading. It is a "way" to make cookies, not a type of cookie. Just like drop cookies are not a type of cookie, but a way to make them.

7:40 am

BzznBea

I was shopping yesterday and saw a boxed kit to make NinjaBread cookies. They were pretty cute.

7:48 am

MollyL

My kids would have liked those back in their "turtle loving" days.

7:49 am

MollyL

Speaking of which, I have a gingerbread pancakes recipe that I am looking forward to trying this weekend.

7:49 am

BzznBea

I thought about getting them for the grands visit, but they wouldn't want to stop gaming.

7:49 am

BzznBea

That sounds good, Molly.

7:54 am

Uneaixoise

Yummy!

7:56 am

bichon

I'm going to make deviled eggs for T'day feast at daughters

7:58 am

BzznBea

CAn't have Tday dinner without deviled eggs.

8:05 am

mael

my 7 year old is mostly deviled eggs, at this point

8:09 am

BzznBea

LOL!

8:09 am

MollyL

That is interesting. Deviled eggs are Easter for us, not Thanksgiving.

8:10 am

BzznBea

Deviled eggs are every holiday and any time in between.

8:10 am

bichon

I'm so tempted to eat all of them myself

8:11 am

rururocks

doesn't making deviled eggs on whatever holiday you want come down to a hard boiled decision?

8:12 am

BzznBea

Pretty much, ru.

8:12 am

bichon

groan

8:12 am

MollyL

Bad yolk Ru

8:14 am

welki

'morning, all

8:14 am

BzznBea

MOrning, welki.

8:17 am

mael

deviled eggs are for always, but we have chickens so it's an easy way to use up a half dozen

8:17 am

mael

use up the eggs, not the chickens

8:17 am

BzznBea

Do you ever feed eggs to your chickens, mael?

8:19 am

mael

just cooked ones, so they don't get a taste for the raw eggs. Otherwise they'll crack them and eat them!

8:19 am

mael

any leftovers that aren't meat go to the birds

8:20 am

BzznBea

How many do you have?

8:20 am

mael

14

8:21 am

mael

they're not really laying right now, they'll pick right back up as soon as the days start getting longer

8:21 am

BzznBea

I've always wanted chickens. We can have them in the city, but I've got to many cats running around.

8:25 am

mael

we used to let them free range and the occasional one would get eaten by a coyote or a hawk, but this spring a fisher cat killed 11 of them in 20 minutes. So we don't let them out anymore, it was too traumatic.

8:26 am

EJT

mael, what's a fisher cat? is it like a weasel

8:27 am

BzznBea

That would be traumatic!

8:27 am

mael

yeah, kind of. Bigger. They normally hunt at dusk or dawn, and we always had our chickens secured then, but this guy came out at 8:30 in the morning...

8:27 am

welki

ohhh, we have fishers up here. beautiful, but aggressive

8:27 am

mael

and they just kill them to eat later, so it was a massacre

8:27 am

EJT

I'm on the Gulf Coast and no fishers here.

8:28 am

EJT

thou

8:28 am

EJT

Whoops, sorry. That's why I don't chat in the chog very ofter.

8:29 am

mael

hehe

8:29 am

mael

I do that all the time, worry not

8:30 am

mael

I have a c7, e7, n7 and t7. what am I missing?

8:30 am

BzznBea

g7

8:31 am

mael

and it's not g6 with two Ns? which is how I've always seen it spelled...

8:31 am

BzznBea

No

8:31 am

BzznBea

It is gh

8:35 am

mael

oh duh, thank you

11:03 am

hurshy

4:50 pm

joym999

I had the chills and achiness, but no fever, so I'm grateful.

4:51 pm

joym999

How come he's homie and you're hokie, if you don't mind my asking?

4:52 pm

hokie carla

everyone would say mr. hokie and their spellcheck would change it to homie, so I thought it was funny and started using it.

4:52 pm
