9:16 am

welki

*looking for ricky martin in the latino boy band thats in the grid*

9:17 am

rururocks

is that where he got his start in the biz?

9:17 am

welki

think so

9:18 am

rururocks

wow... I guess that makes sense

9:20 am

MollyL

Ru knows that. He is a secret Ricky Martin fan. He jams to Livin' La Vida Loca while he cooks.

9:21 am

rururocks

I did like that song but then they played it too much and I got sick of it

9:22 am

rururocks

menudo sounds like some weird organ dinner

9:23 am

welki

i think it is a dinner, but not an organ dinner

9:23 am

welki

*googling*

9:23 am

MollyL

It's soup

9:23 am

welki

well hells yeah - it is an organ dinner!

9:23 am

welki

i think the organ is optional

9:24 am

rururocks

what's the organ?

9:24 am

welki

liver - pork stew with sliced liver

9:24 am

MollyL

Technically, the word means small

9:24 am

rururocks

oh ugh

9:27 am

welki

reading, i see that in mexico, it's a soup prepared with tripe and in the philippines, it's pork (with/without sliced liver) stew

9:28 am

rururocks

we're going to Scotland this year and none of us want to try haggis

9:28 am

welki

...and that concludes our gastronomy portion of our program...

9:28 am

rururocks

I'm just not an organ person other than foie gras

9:29 am

welki

haggis in scotland should be required

9:29 am

rururocks

and some pates

9:29 am

rururocks

sure. I'll bring you back some welki

9:29 am

mael

hello

9:29 am

welki

i like liver, can make a decent steak and kidney pie

9:29 am

rururocks

hey mael.. good morning

9:30 am

welki

hi mael

9:30 am

mael

here's where I confess that rabbit kidneys were my favorite food when I was a kid

9:30 am

mael

good morning! I spent 5 hours at town meeting last night so I'm grumpy today

9:30 am

rururocks

thank god scrabbler isn't here right now

9:30 am

welki

oooh - and bbq'd chicken hearts (thank you, my brazilian son in law)

9:30 am

MollyL

😲😲

9:31 am

welki

<-- is organic

9:31 am

mael

braised rabbit with polenta is our regular sunday lunch where I'm from and the youngest kid in the family gets to eat the kidneys as a treat. I was the youngest for a long long time mwahaha

9:31 am

mael

funny how cultures are so different, huh?

9:32 am

rururocks

I've eaten Rabbit and liked it but I can't mentally get around it now.. they're so cute

9:32 am

MollyL

Kidneys are a treat where you come from? 😲😲

9:32 am

mael

yep

9:32 am

mael

not meat rabbits, meat rabbits are the opposite of cute. trust me

9:33 am

mael

I had bunnies as pets too, they are adorable if destructive

9:33 am

rururocks

meat rabbits?

9:33 am

mael

yeah, rabbits raised for meat are HUGE and pretty mean

9:33 am

welki

my kids raised rabbits for 4H, but none of them made it into the pot (although i like rabbit)

9:34 am

rururocks

oh..

9:35 am

mael

I guess Italy and China are the biggest consumers of rabbit meat in the world, who knew. I just looked it up.

9:35 am

mael

I knew it wasn't popular here in the US (though I still buy it sometimes) but I didn't realize that Italy was the outlier

9:36 am

rururocks

I'd guess farming rabbits would be a hare-raising experience

9:37 am

rururocks

yes.. it's in a lot of dishes in Italy

9:37 am

rururocks

I'm not as adventurous in my cooking these days

9:38 am

mael

we ate it at least once a week, yeah

9:40 am

rururocks

one of my relatives had a rabbit raising farm in Oregon and it really looked awful for the rabbits in cages. No wonder they were surly

9:41 am

mael

yeah :(

9:43 am

MollyL

It is hard enough to get kids to eat duck and lamb. I can't imagine trying to get a kid to eat rabbit.

9:44 am

rururocks

I did as a kid... I was into trying stuff as long as it wasn't a tomato

9:44 am

mael

I mean, if it's what you eat it's what you eat

9:44 am

mael

as kids we had no concept that it was weirder than eating, say, cow

9:44 am

mael

which it shouldn't be, really

9:45 am

moolingwa

morning all

9:45 am

rururocks

I think I'm going vegan after this conversation today though

9:45 am

mael

hah

9:45 am

mael

hey there :)

9:45 am

welki

agreed, mael - it was put before you and you ate it. we were poor, so you were "happy" to have a full meal

9:46 am

welki

(liver included)

9:46 am

mael

I've contemplated pescatarianism for environmental reasons but I actually really believe in the ecological importance of integrated farms. We rely far too much on chemical fertilizers and monocultures

9:49 am

rururocks

4 left here and can't find them and one is a four

9:49 am

moolingwa

only 97 ahead of me

9:50 am

mael

do you have all the Ws, ru?

9:50 am

rururocks

ok found the four it was a babblet

9:50 am

rururocks

yep i have all the w'

9:55 am

rururocks

easy grid till it got a bit nasty

9:55 am

moolingwa

yeah, I've been flying through it so far...waiting for the nasty bits

10:00 am

moolingwa

might have hit that nasty bit

10:04 am

hokie carla

10:08 am

mael

10:08 am

mael

10:08 am

mael

oops

10:09 am

hokie carla

didn't have that one 🤣

10:09 am

mael

glad I could help lol

10:10 am

mael

found the other 8 finally

10:11 am

hokie carla

I've only found 1 7

10:14 am

hokie carla

having the most trouble with the s's

10:14 am

hokie carla

41 left and HOET after first pass

10:18 am

hokie carla

thought I found an 8 but it was just a 7

10:19 am

mael

found the sc5 that I always miss

10:20 am

hokie carla

hmm, sc5 I have is a plural

10:20 am

hokie carla

so tsked is a word but not shhed

10:22 am

mael

10:23 am

mael

FW!

10:23 am

hokie carla

10:25 am

hokie carla

found the sc5

10:29 am

mael

yay!

10:30 am

hokie carla

is the upper W all wy?

10:33 am

hokie carla

found 1 8!

11:22 am

MollyL

Oh mael, why would anyone have to list for a word that means a Bohemian dance in two forms, one like a waltz the other like a polka. You know you do that every day.

11:34 am

Gillie

How do you know that was her last re6?

11:49 am

MollyL

Because mael is smart and she would have the re6's in a flash

11:54 am

MollyL

Sorry, the other re6's

11:57 am

moolingwa

rehi

12:17 pm

12:36 pm

BzznBea

12:39 pm

BzznBea

12:41 pm

hurshy

1:00 pm

nrkii

stats for the 8 that is not un8?

1:01 pm

hokie carla

I only have the un8

1:01 pm

hokie carla

but can narrow it down to W, O, H, D, S, E, T, M, or R 🤣

1:02 pm

moolingwa

It's not W, D, H or M :)

1:03 pm

BzznBea

ed7.40 and plural

1:03 pm

hokie carla

bea goes the easy route

1:03 pm

moolingwa

well that's annoying, those were my last two e's....which was why it was annoying

1:03 pm

hokie carla

that explains why I was struggling so much with the E

1:04 pm

BzznBea

namaste

1:04 pm

hokie carla

is this a word I will eventually get or never?

1:04 pm

hokie carla

bye bea!

1:04 pm

moolingwa

nope

1:04 pm

moolingwa

not unless you're into online A/C systems maybe :)

1:05 pm

moolingwa

or have trouble spelling "teachers"

1:05 pm

hokie carla

mmkay

1:05 pm

nrkii

1:05 pm

hokie carla

funny, I kept seeing that teacher word

1:05 pm

moolingwa

found my last o

1:05 pm

hokie carla

ruru will tell you it can't be a phantom

1:05 pm

nrkii

again and again, even though I already had the 5

1:05 pm

moolingwa

7 to go

1:06 pm

hokie carla

and your first clue was better than the second but I didn't get it until I got the words

1:06 pm

nrkii

if only I could throw an S on the front of it...

1:06 pm

hokie carla

18 here. I think I may be maxed out.

1:07 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I actually tried that...which is another reason I feel a little annoyed I missed it

1:07 pm

hokie carla

well, 17 since nellie reminded me there is the 5

1:08 pm

hokie carla

3-5-7-2

D SS S

1:09 pm

nrkii

1:10 pm

1:10 pm

moolingwa

1-3-3

SS T SS
RR

1:10 pm

moolingwa

well that's annoying Gillie :)

1:10 pm

hokie carla

I think we can all agree the E is extra annoying today

1:10 pm

moolingwa

Extra

1:11 pm

hokie carla

well, was working on the s's, but if moo and nellie have them left maybe I should look at something else.

1:11 pm

hokie carla

found my W!

1:11 pm

nrkii

down to 2 s5 words from 2nd column

1:12 pm

moolingwa

found one of my r's...my final 4

1:12 pm

hokie carla

really thought I had tried that

1:12 pm

nrkii

there's an sc7 that monkeys found

1:12 pm

moolingwa

yeah, have that

1:12 pm

hokie carla

nellie, the phonetics word is from that S

1:13 pm

hokie carla

1:13 pm

hokie carla

I haven't found any7

1:13 pm

moolingwa

on that S

1:14 pm

hokie carla

and I don't know where that 7 came from in my post

1:14 pm

moolingwa

heaven?

1:15 pm

hokie carla

what is my O? P&TY

1:15 pm

moolingwa

found a missing plural off the other s

1:15 pm

moolingwa

o5

1:16 pm

moolingwa

and apparently it's scottish...of course

1:16 pm

hokie carla

yes, you're onto something

1:16 pm

hokie carla

of course

1:17 pm

hokie carla

finally got the right combo

1:18 pm

nrkii

1:18 pm

hokie carla

1:18 pm

1:20 pm

hokie carla

1:22 pm

hokie carla

and I know one of my R's is mael's re6

1:24 pm

moolingwa

I have one r to go

1:24 pm

moolingwa

and it's either a 5 or a 6 :)

1:29 pm

hokie carla

1:30 pm

hokie carla

think I will list so I can move on with my life

1:31 pm

hokie carla

oh FFS. 2 of my D's were part of the ED words.

1:35 pm

hokie carla

one of my s's is foreign money, you should have that

1:42 pm

cybernan

hello everyone -- 55 left from last ight

1:51 pm

MollyL

Once you see what that re6 is you will know why I knew it was mael's missing one. She's too smart to have missed the other three.

2:01 pm

Gillie

That one re6 is certainly a standout, although I think I've seen it before

2:10 pm

cybernan

first 6/33 please (assume that is the one you are talking about)

2:21 pm

Gillie

Sorry - went away for a bit - starts with the color, ends with having a commitment to a lender, but change the last vowel

2:26 pm

Gillie

I'm slightly puzzled that the plural of du6 isn't in the list

2:28 pm

cybernan

ty gillie - new one for me

2:28 pm

cybernan

2:29 pm

Gillie

4:08 pm
