QUESTIONS?
ReplyDeleteRe Entree 1: Having exhausted all options to try to find the four-word movie from 1960 (supposedly) with its director as leading man, although I already KNOW the word from solving backwards as is so often the case, I am wondering if you mistyped the year...because the ONLY four-word movie title with director starring as leading man that contains the word that it HAS to be (in the second spot in the title) was made in 1971.
DeleteThere is a 1961 movie with this same word, but it is the ONLY word in the title.
DeleteMerci beaucoup, ViolinTeddy. I have changed the decade to the correct, more recent, decade. My gratitude to you.

Thanks for the hints. Think I have everything now but Entree #6 and PS's riff.
DeleteThink I have Entree #6 now.
DeleteApp. riff -there is actually a recipe that uses the seafood and the land food together in the same recipe.
DeleteGot the answer for Entree #4, have a fairly good guess for the word in #5, but though I've got the names right the words may not be the intended ones. Got the names for #2 and #7, but not the words. The image(s) that goes with #1 gave me the answer(s). The hint for #8 confirmed my answer. Other than that, I didn't get any new answers via the new hints.

Thanks for your comment about the slice, Tortitude...
Name a pair of blissful things that peaceful creatures do:
One is like a kiss, the other’s sung by two who woo.
The two words I seek (which begin with different consonants yet are relatively proximate in the dictionary) are one-syllable verbs (but can also function as nouns). The "peaceful creatures" are avian.
LegoMintingHintsLikeDahlonegaOnceMintedDimes!
I have actually been to Dahlonega more than once and visited the now defunct Mint museum there. Toward the end, there were many scams going on there. People knew the mines were played out but keep selling shares. We also went on a tour of the Crisson mine where you can actually learn to pan. Also they have some awesome shops with many rock specimens from the area.
DeleteHey Tortie you getting slammed In Jersey? My son sent snow a pic of 15 inches outside their apartment in East Harlem.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteOops, I put 28 inches above. It's actually 18 (bad enough).
DeleteI've been looking up what is happening, snow-wise in NJ, as well as in Westchester County, NY, where my brother lives. It did appear that both locations got 18" of the stuff. I surely feel sorry for you all. Have there been any power outages?
DeleteYes, luckily not us! I think most of the power outages happened in the coastal areas.
DeleteRight now, I still have a bit of a bad back - but it's not from shoveling! On Sunday, I got up quickly out of my computer chair, and I must have turned the wrong way. Trinket has a vet visit today (not an emergency, but some things I want checked out). Luckily, I have a husband to help me. My back is better than it was on Sunday, but I still struggle with standing up/sitting down or especially bending.
Oh, Tortie, my own painful lower back SOOOO sympathizes with yours!
DeleteYes Tortie be well.I read that snow shoveling can be dangerous to your health. Kind of like digging for clams here. Kind of like going from 0-60 in two seconds and straining the engine.

DeleteMy apologies! But, alas, I have no clue about why your comment did not show up.
(skydiveboy may well be correct about your post "going back to the salad bar for seconds..." but I believe it is far more likely that it went back to the dessert bar for seconds!)
But, a bit more seriously...
Alas, I am not "sufficiently Internet savvy" to know how/why posts on our blog occasionally just to not appear. I apologize.
I also realize, Patrick, that it is a tedious chore to rewrite a lengthy post that you have already posted (without success!... through no fault of your own!). But In this case, I would encourage you do your best to try to reconstruct it for our reading enjoyment! I know for a fact, seriously, that many of the regulars on our blog (including me!), as well as a number of "lurkers" of whom I am aware, DO INDEED look forward to reading about your and your extended family's Friday evening dining experiences!
LegoWhoDoesIndeedRealizeHowChallengingAndTediousItIsToTryToRewriteSomethingOneHasAlreadyWritten!
To make a long story short(too late), I will just say Bryan and Mia Kate took Mom and me out to Waffle House Friday night. The women in our group did eat waffles. Mia Kate's boyfriend Austin will be working to get his mechanic's license soon, but he'll have to get a haircut while doing so. There are now three different Aldi's located in the Ft. Walton Beach area. Last time Bryan was at the condo, he only really had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Mom joined him once, and they both had them. I solved skydiveboy's Appetizer easily, and got a couple of Entrees and the Dessert. I did my other puzzles Friday night.
DeletepjbProbablyDoesNeedToShortenHisOpeningPostMoreOften,ComeToThinkOfIt
I highly recommend, pjb, that from now on you copy/paste your post and keep it somewhere safe (I keep all my drafts in my on-mac email account, rather than in a text program, which I have never learned how to deal with), and then if this were to happen again, al you would have to do would be to copy what you had saved and paste it into P! a second time.
DeleteA couple of years or so ago, my OWN post vanished for reasons that were never clear, so I guess it just does happen from time to time.
Thanks to both Patrick and ViolinTeddy for those above posts.
DeletePatrick did a commendable job reconstructing his "post-that-went-poof!" And ViolinTeddy offered up some sane strategy on how to "poof-proof" documents we may want to post.

Next week's show will salute the late Ozzy Osbourne.
After the show, Mom and I watched "The Greatest Average American", hosted by Nate Bargatze. Pretty good show. Mom also went to Arby's for our supper. I had the half-pounder roast beef, curly fries, a Diet Dr. Pepper, and a cherry turnover. Mom had the Reuben and potato cakes.-pjb
