*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?
9:18 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
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
9:27 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
welki
i like liver, can make a decent steak and kidney pie
9:29 am
rururocks
hey mael.. good morning
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)
9:31 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
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)
9:35 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
9:43 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
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

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

10:20 am
hokie carla
hmm, sc5 I have is a plural
10:20 am
hokie carla

10:23 am
hokie carla

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
12:17 pm
hurshy

12:36 pm
BzznBea

12:39 pm
BzznBea

hokie carla

1:00 pm
nrkii

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
hokie carla
is this a word I will eventually get or never?
1:04 pm
hokie carla
bye bea!
1:04 pm
moolingwa

hokie carla
funny, I kept seeing that teacher word
1:05 pm
moolingwa

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

RR
1:10 pm
moolingwa

1:10 pm
hokie carla
I think we can all agree the E is extra annoying today
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

1:12 pm
nrkii

1:12 pm
moolingwa

1:12 pm
hokie carla
nellie, the phonetics word is from that S
1:13 pm
moolingwa

1:13 pm
hokie carla

1:13 pm
moolingwa

1:13 pm
hokie carla

moolingwa

1:16 pm
hokie carla

1:29 pm

1:30 pm
hokie carla

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
un 8 please?
2:29 pm
Gillie
not in order
2:30 pm
cybernan
