[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:05:24 PM EST] <Imladris> Hello, KK
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:05:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Got all your Christmas shopping done?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:05:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:07:06 PM EST] <Imladris> Before I forget, KK, I was talking to one of my best friends from high school,  apparently you have been to her front porch!  She is a "windbag".  And says another Windbag, Debbie is a good friend of yours.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:07:10 PM EST] <KK> Still working on the clutter, though it's improving. Last stuff goes into the mail tomorrow; cutting it close, I know, but that's called Life.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:08:20 PM EST] <Imladris> Windbags are a "recorder/blockflute" group.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:08:22 PM EST] <KK> Is that DebBee, in Weyrs Cave?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:09:15 PM EST] <Imladris> My friend is Diane in Stuart's Draft.. husband Rich looks like Santa
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:09:20 PM EST] <Imladris> even more than I do.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:09:52 PM EST] <Imladris> They seranaded you.,,,
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:09:53 PM EST] <KK> Ah. They did a Music on the Front Porch over the summer. Yes! that was a fun afternoon. Very talented folk.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:10:14 PM EST] <Imladris> yes..  was Diane's porch
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:10:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> speaking of Santa, I saw a man in a Santa hat and beard while I was Christmas shopping today.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:10:45 PM EST] <KK> Santa's deputie are all around us!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:11:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> What's a blockflute?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:11:56 PM EST] <KK> Everyone got their Christmas plans solidified?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:03 PM EST] <Imladris> another name for a recorder
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:05 PM EST] <bynw> yup
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:12 PM EST] <The_Bee> ah, thanks
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> pretty much. 🙂 Just going up to SLC. 🙂
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:21 PM EST] <Imladris> church sunday morning
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi KK Hi all
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:33 PM EST] <Imladris> church saturday evening.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> church Sunday morning, only 1 hour. 🙂
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:12:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've made bus reservations for Vermont, but I'm worried about the weather.  Friday looks ominous.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:13:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup, family Christmas at my Stepmother's house
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:13:20 PM EST] <KK> I'm still scaring up who is doing Christmas Eve/Midnight Mass around here. Would like to go, but they're forecasting super cold weather for the weekend, so we shall see.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:13:24 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Bee, KK, Shiral.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:13:31 PM EST] <Imladris> super cold this coming week..  wind chills near -50
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:13:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Been making Christmas candy. Hiya Shiral. 🙂
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:13:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:14:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝snaps fingers and produces hot cocoa and Christmas cookies␝
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:14:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:14:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bee
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:14:26 PM EST] <Imladris> Gluewein
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:14:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> We're doing Christmas breakfast with the full observances on the 27th, because the Pod-Child being a nurse means she's on shift Christmas Eve and Christmas night. The 27th is also my parents' 38th wedding anniversary so lots to celebrate.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:14:53 PM EST] * The_Bee adds mulled cider, with brandy on the side for those who like it spiked.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:14:55 PM EST] <bynw> our church is having several services on Christmas Eve, the latest one is at 11pm. They will also have a Christmas Eve service on Friday evening. We are planning on going to that one.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:15:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The best celebrations can adapt and be flexible!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:16:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝realizes cookies and hot cocoa are floating in midair and snaps fingers again to produce a nice table␝
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:16:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> Today is also the first day of Hannukah.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:16:35 PM EST] <KK> I'm going to friends for Christmas, where I went for Thanksgiving, but we're gong out for Indian; not doing two big dinners in the same month!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:17:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> Indian food is yum.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:17:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My Stepmother is providing a Honey baked ham, and everyone else is contributing a dish for Christmas lunch which will be our main meal
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:17:38 PM EST] <Imladris> going to make a ribeye roast
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:17:45 PM EST] <bynw> yum
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:18:16 PM EST] <KK> Yum, ribeye!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:18:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And I have finished my shopping except for the Pod-Child's gift because I forgot that she had asked for something until I "threatened" to get her a gift card to our favorite local used book shop. (It's called Chamblin's Bookmine, and it is ENORMOUS. Anyone who comes to visit for a few days can expect a guided tour from yours truly. 😁 )
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:19:12 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'm staying at my brother's; not sure what they plan for Christmas, but they usually have a pork-pie-and-sundaes party on Christmas Eve.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:19:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> At this point, everyone's getting what they're getting! Although I need to get some puppy-friendly gifts for my brother's new Puppy
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:19:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Then she reminded me so now I'm trying to find it.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:20:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I misread that as a pork-pie-and-sundress party. Imagining people wearing sundresses and "pork pie" style hats. 😂

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:21:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Accio ham!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:21:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'd like a picture of that! XD
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:21:20 PM EST] <Imladris> Marcia said you are invited to the Black Hills when your life calms down a bit.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:21:22 PM EST] <KK> Ham is good!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:21:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Fortunately, there are still a few places for Honeybaked hams near me
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:22:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's easy, delicious, and everyone will eat it. All three great points in the favor of ham in our family!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:22:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Pork Pie hat, for those unfamiliar with the term: https://americanhatmakers.com/products/chi-town-mens-felt-pork-pie-hat?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=17965708983&utm_content=140603115260&utm_term=&gadid=615127292851&gclid=CjwKCAiAkfucBhBBEiwAFjbkr9xdhw6_lySt30FERNrH7QKCDG6AVLacUt8wMsrJY9SSB1riL7FGsRoClgYQAvD_BwE
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:22:16 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And then once the ham has been eaten, you can use the bone to flavor soup or hoppin' John or greens.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:23:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> Mom got the pork pie recipe from a friend of French-Canadien ancestry.  It's now a family tradition.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:23:31 PM EST] <Imladris> My co-workers gave me a cowgirl suit and a christmas sweater for Bronwyn,  Need to get some pics of her in them.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:23:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I inadvertently started a new tradition when I made a raspberry Bakewell tart for Christmas in 2017
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:24:36 PM EST] <The_Bee> hoppin' John? That sounds Southern.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:24:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It is.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:25:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Then I made another one for the Holiday potluck at work the following year. The year after that, I had people sidling up to me at work and whispering "are you going to make THE tart again, this year?"
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:25:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/hoppin_john/
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:26:09 PM EST] <Imladris> At least Shiral isn't known as THE tart....🙄🙄
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:26:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> you tart! 😉
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:26:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> For which I'm truly thankful!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:26:24 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Cow peas (a specific variant of black-eyed peas) and rice.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:26:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> 😉
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:27:11 PM EST] <Imladris> Might try that sans green pepper.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:27:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> Thanks for the recipe, Evie.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:27:39 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, I'd also omt the green pepper. It doesn't like me.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:27:49 PM EST] <KK> omit
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:27:58 PM EST] <Imladris> I have yet to be convinced they are an edible plant
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:27:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, bleah to the green peppers. They make my tummy hurt.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:28:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I much prefer red bell peppers
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:28:13 PM EST] <Imladris> no bell peppers!!!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:28:36 PM EST] <Imladris> My spouse, and bronwyn like peppers.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:28:43 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> We don't use bell peppers either. It's bacon or ham, onion, rice, and peas.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:28:54 PM EST] <KK> No bell peppers of any color for me!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:29:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> preferably
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:29:18 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I like them fine, but not in hoppin' John.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:29:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> ␝ I prefer my pepper ground and in a shaker.␝
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:29:56 PM EST] <Imladris> have you ever had long pepper??
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:29:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> yeah, black peppercorns, ground
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:02 PM EST] <The_Bee> How'd I do that in italics?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Sometimes they don't like me, depending on whether they're cooked and how so.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Not a fan of any really HOT peppers
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:20 PM EST] <Imladris> got some long pepper - pepper corns to grind..
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> surround the text with apostrophes
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> no
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> asterisks
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> If you put the word you want in italics between asterisks, you end up with italics
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Like ␝this␝
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:48 PM EST] <Imladris> They are like black pepper. and were the primary pepper used in Roman times
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:30:54 PM EST] <KK> Ah, didn't know that.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Brb, pizza driver at the door.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:11 PM EST] <KK> *like this?*
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:16 PM EST] <Imladris> not quite as pungent, but sneaks up a little warm.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yep!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:27 PM EST] <KK> But it didn't italicize.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I see the italics, KK
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It did in Discord
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:43 PM EST] <Imladris> *hmm*
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I saw it italicized, KK
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:54 PM EST] <Imladris> mine went bold for me...
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:57 PM EST] <KK> Hmmm, doesn't in Mibbit.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:31:59 PM EST] <Imladris> and KK's did too
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:32:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> I used lemon-pepper salad dressing to make lemon-pepper chicken drumsticks.  It was pretty good.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:32:30 PM EST] <KK> Maybe I'll have to switch, next time.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:32:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> OK, the asterisks might make bold font in IRC. On Discord they make italics, but I think double asterisks make bold. ␂test␂
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:32:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> *like this?*
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:32:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, yes
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:32:56 PM EST] <KK> **like this?**
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:32:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Evie, nice, I didn't realize you could do that
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:00 PM EST] <Imladris> **hmmm**
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:05 PM EST] <KK> No bold here.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, double asterisks make the font bold on Discord. And yes, Bee, you just italicized that
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> **Whee!**
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> the double asterisk doesn't seem to work if you're not on Discord
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:20 PM EST] <Imladris> double * made italic
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:21 PM EST] <KK> Mibbit must be ornery.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:28 PM EST] <Imladris> on kiwi
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Mibbit has an ornery reputation to protect
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> IRC and Discord are slightly different, so it could just be that code is designed to work on Discord but not on IRC.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:33:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> (Mibbit is an IRC client.)
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:34:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'm on kiwi. * for bold, ** for italics
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:34:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh, interesting! So yours is the opposite.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:34:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> but I don't recall typing the asterics the first time.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:35:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> asterixes?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:35:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> asterisks
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:35:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Maybe there's some other way to make them in Kiwi then. I don't use that client, so I don't know how it works.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:35:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> asterisks
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:35:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> Neither did i, before now.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:35:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> -sks is a hard combination to say
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:36:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> It rhymes with "risks" and "disks"
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:36:37 PM EST] <Imladris> I have a fun trivia question for you English lover's out there...

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:37:49 PM EST] <Imladris> Give two words that use the same vowel sounds and only differ in the Thorn/Eth "TH" sound.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:38:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> the/the
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:39:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> no, that's the same word with two pronunciations, sorry
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:39:08 PM EST] <Imladris> not same vowel sound
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:39:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Well...THorn vs baTHe. one is unvoiced and the other is voiced.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:40:11 PM EST] <The_Bee> breath and breathe
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:40:21 PM EST] <Imladris> easiest word pair are ether/either.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:40:28 PM EST] <Imladris> to get same vowel sounds
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:41:11 PM EST] <Imladris> ee-ther  not I=ther.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:41:34 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've heard that native French-speakers have trouble with both Th sounds.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:42:23 PM EST] <Imladris> when I was in Germany....  I confused people trying to say the CH sound...
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:42:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> https://www.goalsenglish.com/lessons/the-voiced-th-and-unvoiced-th-sounds
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:42:37 PM EST] <Imladris> I would ask for directions to Aachen...
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:42:56 PM EST] <Imladris> and get blank looks..  no matter how I tried to say it...
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:43:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I don't know Aachen
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:43:32 PM EST] <Imladris> my spouse would say (what sounded to me like what I said) and they would say oh  yah, yah.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:44:15 PM EST] <Imladris> Aachen is Aix-du-Chapelle, Charlemagne's capital.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:44:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is the unvoiced symbol the /Greek letter theta?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:45:20 PM EST] <Imladris> has absolutely awesome palatine chapel.  is from the 7th century and looks much more modern than the newer parts of the Cathedral.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:46:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> to say unvoiced th, say SS while holding the tip of your tangue between your fron teeth.  For voiced, th. say Z the same way.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:46:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think so, Bee, at least if theta is the letter that looks like a 0 with a line across the middle.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:46:57 PM EST] <Imladris> not sure bee... would think that is voicced?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:47:02 PM EST] <The_Bee> tongue, not tangue
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:47:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri has arrive to say hello and to make sure his behind is interfering with my typing

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:48:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> The website says theta for unvoiced
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:48:23 PM EST] <KK> Daphne is digging into boxes and pulling stuff out. Miss Clever Paws!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:48:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi, Dmitri1

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:48:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I associate Theta with the more obstreperous party-guy fraternity at my college
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:49:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> Maybe Daohne is descended from Kitty Softpaws. from Puss in Boots.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:49:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And there goes Dmitri. I guess he felt shy
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:50:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> Tati under the desk?

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:52:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati was under the desk earlier, Bee. But I've just put sheets fresh from the dryer on my bed.

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:54:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A bit icky that way
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:54:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup. The week before this past week, I had to call in the furnace people to get my thermostat and furnace back on speaking terms. I've been very popular with the cats ever since, as it's been pretty nippy around here

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:56:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Either that or Shiral absolutely loves Italian sausage. 😄
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:56:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well....yes I have to admit I do. Especially on Pizza
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:56:46 PM EST] <The_Bee> hot or sweet?
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:57:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Mild. I'm a complete wimp about spicy food.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:57:13 PM EST] <Imladris> sweet with a little honey on top.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:57:21 PM EST] <Imladris> and pesto
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:57:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Spicy food is not my thing
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:57:42 PM EST] <The_Bee> honey or maple syrup
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:57:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> and pancakes
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:57:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> mild spicy for me
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:58:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just made a jar of pesto sauce to give a work friend who is retiring. Fresh basil pesto is so good!
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:58:06 PM EST] <KK> You guys are making me hungry. I probably ought to go do something about that.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:58:07 PM EST] <Imladris> <<likes honey on his pizza
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:58:26 PM EST] <Imladris> and Pesto on it.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:58:44 PM EST] <KK> And I assume we skip next week, since it's Christmas? I'm willing to try the following week, since no one does much on new year's day.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:58:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝sees Kelric move toward the pizza with a jar of honey in his hands.....␝
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:58:47 PM EST] <Imladris> sweet dreams, Katherine.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:59:05 PM EST] <The_Bee> I usually order "mild" in an Indian restaurant, because I'm not sure if their "medium" is the same as mine.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:59:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Sounds good to me, KK
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:59:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Have a great fortnight and a merry Christmass, KK

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:59:41 PM EST] <KK> OKay, let's try Jan. 1. That should be okay, and we all should be mostly recovered from Christmas.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [7:59:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And IIRC, you said the second Sunday for Zoom?

[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [8:01:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Everyone have a good week, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Winter Solstice, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
[Sunday, December 18, 2022] [8:01:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That should cover it!
