« Last post by Front-Ranger on April 14, 2024, 11:51:16 pm »Yes! Several people asked me for the recipe. The butterscotch chips were worth the extra cost. They give the cookies lots of richness that regular cc cookies don't have.
I paniced in the middle of the night because I realized I skipped the step of removing the baked cookies from the sheet and placing them on a cooling rack before packing them in a box. I thought they would all be stuck together, but they were fine. Whew!

I've suspected that too, but why would that be? My bot seems to feel the need to mansplain everything. Today, I got it in three, and bot claims to have got it in three also. At least it didn't suggest "more efficient" guesses, but I'm skeptical of its own guesses. CRANE, ALONE, BLIMP. Really, Bot? You made a second guess that included three letters already eliminated in the first guess? (If repeating rejected letters isn't a problem for you, Bot, my suggestion for a "more efficient" second guess would be CLIMB.) And then you jumped right to BLIMP? Yeah right.

Pretty easy today. I didn't guess the purples until I'd already guessed the blues, but before I clicked them the purples became obvious, so I clicked those first. Finally, one of those purple "part of a word" categories that I usually don't get.

« Last post by Jeff Wrangler on April 14, 2024, 08:28:54 pm »But we did not have a class on physics -- we had American history, Asian history, history of religions and plain old social studies. (I remember the only time I'd get school lunches was when, in the time period after my Asian history class, the day's menu was chow mein.) We must have learned some of the same material that would have been in a civics class, maybe in the all-purpose social studies classes. And I've never known what diagramming a sentence even requires. (I've seen the diagrams but could not make one myself.) I can identify things like adjectives and adverbs, subject and object, passive and active tense -- stuff like that, if that's what it's about.
I graduated in '76.
Did you mean you didn't have a class on civics rather than physics?
In my junior high and high schools, "history" was "social studies."
I had one elective on folklore and one on mythology; both were under the English department.

I squeeze it out and sometimes drape it over the faucet and sometimes just throw it behind the faucet. Either way it's squeezed out and dries pretty quickly.
