Thank you ~ I was sitting on the 9 for a while but it took forever to get the 8
12:36 am

Still looking for the 9.

staring at the grid with one eye shut (as one does) and amazed myself by knowing that mo6/24 was actually a word! The trivia my brain can hold onto, when some days I can't even recall my doctor's name without a fair amount of thought!
4:32 am

7:05 am
rebelsass

morning, all! can someone clue me the re8, please?
7:09 am
rebelsass

nevermind, i just monkeyed it out.
7:16 am
MollyL

I'm surprised everyone is having to guess at that re8. I guess not many here eat southern US food.
7:17 am
rebelsass

nope, molly, and i live in the south! lol!
7:20 am
MollyL

I have a bottle of that stuff in my place at all times. Wouldn't eat hush puppies without it.
7:26 am
0471

Hush Puppies is a shoe brand here in India :)
7:29 am
MollyL

It is a shoe brand here too. Named after a southern fried food.

Greetings
8:01 am

I dont have either 8 so would love help. Dont know what a piquant sauce is. And dont know southern food.
8:08 am
mkg

I have seen piquant sauce listed on a menu but dont remember what it is.
8:12 am
MollyL

Who said it was piquant sauce?
8:13 am
mkg

See below molly. I just got that re 8.
8:13 am
mkg

The re word is spelled wrong. Needs a u in it.
8:15 am
MollyL

The spelling here is a variant spelling. And no one said anything about piquant sauce.
8:18 am

Peri @ 7:00
8:23 am
hurshy

hmm, that 2nd row i looks hard
8:24 am
mkg

Any clues for the al 9?
8:24 am
MollyL

Sorry, I came in after Peri's comment. Piquant and re8 are two different things.
8:25 am
mkg

Nm got the 9.
8:25 am
hurshy

piquant is an adjective
1 having a pleasantly sharp taste or appetizing flavour.
2 pleasantly stimulating or exciting to the mind.
8:26 am
hurshy

so re8 could very well be piquant
8:26 am
hurshy

in spanish, picante is spicy
8:26 am
Aloyisius

with a little bit of magic, you will find the al9: it is a plural
8:26 am
hurshy

so if one remembers, there were ads for Pace Picante sauce back in the day
8:26 am
MollyL

In cooking, piquant sauces are usually tomato based
8:36 am
Atalante

Merriam Webster: The meaning of PIQUANT SAUCE is a sauce with a sharp flavor (as from lemon juice, vinegar, capers, spices) - you learn something every day!
8:38 am
Atalante

and vi7 feels like its the start of a piquant soup :)

For those following, our choc lab is recovering well from his T.P.L.O surgery. :)this is day four post-op, and he is moving well, putting weight on it, and is suprising us with how fast he is recovering. He is a good boy!

8:52 am
penquis

8:53 am

9:02 am
crosshair

She is five years old

10:07 am

is the so8 a compound?
10:10 am
swmbo

don't know
10:12 am
swmbo

I found it. It appears to be a compound, but not one I ever saw before. To me it is two unrelated words
10:12 am
BzznBea

yes, it a compound
10:12 am
Atalante

oh joy!
10:12 am
Atalante

huh. yes. weird
10:13 am
Atalante

(obsolete or dialect) Some part; a portion, something; some
10:15 am
swmbo

the re8 is similarly obscure, an alternate spelling for a creole type sauce.
10:23 am
rururocks

Yeah at first that song wasn’t going to be Lady Marmalade
10:30 am
MollyL

Ru, you cook. Are re8 and sauce piquant the same thing?
10:31 am
rururocks

No. They aren’t
10:31 am
Deeha

you can get hazchem in this grid!! not allowed of course
10:31 am
MollyL

Thank you
10:32 am
Deeha

it amused me
10:33 am
rururocks

Remolade has mayonnaise in it. Piquant does not
10:34 am
rururocks

Cajun piquant is similar but is vinegar based
10:38 am
Atalante

oh these annoying american spellings
10:38 am
MollyL

Well, I knew that but there was a bit of a "discussion" here claiming they were the same
10:38 am
MollyL

Most piquant sauces are tomato based
10:39 am
Atalante

most sauces in general are :)
10:40 am
MollyL

There are several sauces that don't include tomato at all
10:40 am
Atalante

hence the use of "most" not "all"
10:41 am
Atalante

which you back up by use of "several" ;)

Tough part is stoping him from running around.
10:58 am
Atalante

anyone want any cluuuues that don't involve piquancy?
10:58 am

Pup just wants to get back to his old routine, so we have to crate him every so often to slow him down.

Atalante

11:39 am
Atalante

tuna and cheese what could be better for kitties
11:39 am
hurshy

idk, he's more focused on humans and fossil fuels and crypto than on tuna
11:40 am
Atalante

though he opened up an enormous marine protected area to fishing, that'll be a lot of tuna
11:41 am
hurshy

the one by hawaii? i think a court has blocked that for now
11:41 am
Atalante

Atalante

NO idea what it means
11:44 am
hurshy

11:45 am
Atalante

Atalante

isolaze = levels of indolence on a sunday afternoon
11:47 am
Atalante

I learnt a new word today outwith babble
11:47 am
Atalante

A soliton is a self-reinforcing, localized wave packet that maintains its shape and speed while propagating, even after interacting with other solitons.
11:48 am
hurshy

whereas as a solitract is a frog
11:48 am
Atalante

very true!
11:52 am
Atalante

12:06 pm
hurshy

12:06 pm
Atalante

I don't think so
12:06 pm
hurshy

it stars Rose Ayling-Ellis
12:07 pm
hurshy

who was also in an episode of Who this last season
12:07 pm
Atalante

she's amazing
12:07 pm
hurshy

yeah, and this show focusing on her, it's nice, gives you a little more sense of the experience of being a person who is deaf
12:08 pm
Atalante

she was in our strictly come dancing or similar, I think it gave a lot of people a lot to think about
12:09 pm
hurshy

oh, well, we had a deaf guy win it here in the US. first he won Top Model, then he won the dance one
12:09 pm
hurshy

Nyle DiMarco
12:10 pm
hurshy

Atalante

apparently so!
12:10 pm
hurshy

i bet she'll be fun to watch
12:10 pm
Atalante

I might even have to watch it for her
12:12 pm
hurshy

this lower C is Clobbering me

12:14 pm
hurshy

uh...
12:15 pm
Atalante

:D
12:15 pm
Atalante

and a wasp
12:16 pm
hurshy

what i have is the peoples of the two flags you and i have here (and other places), and a guy's name, and ca4, and that's it
12:16 pm
hurshy

are any of those the ones you said?
12:16 pm
Atalante

nope
12:16 pm
hurshy

ok
12:16 pm
Atalante

and a weird spelling of a small onion
12:17 pm
hurshy

i always like to make sure i'm not looking for stuff i already have
12:17 pm
hurshy

ooh now the onion one i understand, thanks, got that!
12:18 pm
hurshy

ok i did a search and got the lobster claw words
12:18 pm
hurshy

is that somehow etymologically related to ch5tion therapy?
12:19 pm
Atalante

nope. that's chemical stuff
12:19 pm
hurshy

but all same letters?!
12:19 pm
Atalante

I don't think its related, but it probably is deep down
12:19 pm
hurshy

DEEP down
12:19 pm
hurshy

mariana trench deep
12:20 pm
Atalante

ok, it is
12:20 pm
hurshy

ok now tell me what the wasp one's stats are
12:20 pm
hurshy

see, i knew that was too many matching letters to be a coincidence
12:20 pm
Atalante

ch5tion is the process of using agents to bind to and remove heavy metals or minerals from the body.and derived from the latin for claw
12:20 pm
Atalante

ch7/44
12:21 pm
Atalante

12:22 pm
hurshy

good lord there are 9000 species of wasps in the UK alone
12:22 pm

12:22 pm
hurshy

according to buglife.org.uk, yes
12:23 pm
hurshy

aHA got it
12:23 pm
Atalante

:D
12:23 pm
Atalante

its a nice sounding word!
12:24 pm
hurshy

ok now for this body cavities thing, i can't even remotely think
12:24 pm
Atalante

they should be spelled co---- and co----- :D
12:25 pm
hurshy

ok, i didn't know those words but i think i got them
12:25 pm
Atalante

the US spelling looks hugely weird
12:25 pm
hurshy

i'm not sciency enough
12:26 pm
hurshy

you say body cavity and i think "mouth"
12:26 pm
hurshy

or at best "stigmata"
12:26 pm
Atalante

now you know
12:26 pm
hurshy

but will i remember?
12:26 pm
Atalante

thats a different question
12:27 pm
hurshy

well that was a lot of weird ones for sure
12:27 pm
Atalante

well done. definitely the weirdest lot of words
12:28 pm
hurshy

i still need one more, and one more from the other C, but that's ok
12:28 pm
Atalante

ch7/44?
12:28 pm
hurshy

like the study of organic and inorganic compounds and their interactions? have that
12:29 pm
Atalante

hmmm. ch4/11?
12:29 pm
hurshy

the french one? have that
12:29 pm
Atalante

cl5/16? the rest are fairly ok
12:29 pm
hurshy

well then i guess i am missing fairly ok ones
12:30 pm
hurshy

still it's better than M where i need four from each
12:31 pm
hurshy

oh there's an M!
12:31 pm
Atalante

tequila :D
12:33 pm
Atalante

the M I didn't know is a a child born to Jewish parents whose relationship is forbidden by Jewish law
12:36 pm
hurshy

hmmmm
12:38 pm
hurshy

did you read that horribly depressing article about how genetic testing has now made us aware of how much more incest happens than anyone would have guessed
12:38 pm
Atalante

no, but I'm quite glad I didn't!
12:38 pm
hurshy

i mean, i've summed up the depressing part right there, so
12:39 pm
hurshy

actually reading it isn't MORE depressing than that
12:39 pm
Atalante

I did read an article about an american family who were the most inbred in the world
12:39 pm
hurshy

fun times
12:40 pm
hurshy

do you remember what state they lived in?
12:40 pm
Atalante

west virginia
12:40 pm
hurshy

that was my first guess!!
12:41 pm
Atalante

he Whittakers, who live in the small village of Odd in West Virginia, have a complex history
12:41 pm
hurshy

wonder how distantly they are related to Jodie
12:42 pm
Atalante

Some of the family can only communicate through grunts and barks and often flee when outsiders try to speak to them. They can struggle to remember their parents and other relatives and didn't realise until recent years that their issues were due to inbreeding.
12:42 pm
Atalante

The cycle of inbreeding began with identical twin brothers, Henry and John Whittaker. Their children married each other and had over a dozen children.
12:42 pm
hurshy

oh dear
12:43 pm
Atalante

is WV particularly inbred?
12:43 pm
hurshy

that is the stereotype
12:44 pm
hurshy

i think just because travel in and out of the appalachians was challenging
12:44 pm
hurshy

and it's pretty much entirely appalachians
12:44 pm
Atalante

makes sense!
12:45 pm
hurshy

huh. i just finished the 7s, but only have one of the two 8s
12:45 pm
Atalante

I've been watching youtube about sovereign citizens. you lot over there are all mad
12:46 pm
Atalante

so8
12:46 pm
hurshy

i saw a funny video yesterday about how fans of raw milk have basically reinvented pasteurization because there was an outbreak of illness from raw milk drinking and they were like "well what if we boiled it just enough to kill bacteria but not enough to destroy the nutrients"
12:47 pm
Atalante

ohd ear
12:47 pm
hurshy

the girl telling about it was like "they stupided so hard they accidentally smarted"
12:48 pm
hurshy

so then she was like, we just need to make a video about the New Thing of "viral microdosing" and make it seem like it is coming from within the anti-vax community
12:48 pm
Atalante

the world has really gone mad
12:49 pm
hurshy

hokie carla

4:48 pm

4:48 pm
MollyL

Everyone feel free to try it and see what you think
4:49 pm
MollyL

Bing sucks. So does Edge
4:50 pm
hurshy

anyway i'm glad you said that, because that's the point, feel free to try it and see what you think, that is very different from "no don't even consider it"!
4:53 pm
hokie carla
