MN Lisa’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm confirming with the Mods in a PM about what words we search for based on the place. I don't have a response yet. Did you guys get access?

I was late in moving things from the Planning document to the official document. We will be placed in whatever place we were for the Round 3 (since we were late and everyone else was not).

I'm not sure I will have time until later tonight (9pm CT ish). Does someone else want to take a stab at it. Last month I started with the Bonus, then Adults, then Pensioners, then Children with the Fresh Meals and then Frozen.

WE have 200 customer and over 280 meals. We can carry over Frozen Meals to next month.

Hmm.. We do have customer on our Month 3 Page...on our planning spreadsheet.

Did we have to do anything special to get customers last round?"

No. They just showed up.

We aren't the only team listed in Grey, but I don't know why. I asked about customer in the Q&A. Hopefully some can let us know.

When should we get customers? What the Fork doesn't have any yet...

in the real spreadsheet,

1. the boxes need to be checked for the special items - balsamic etc

2. the total do not seem to be working...it says we have 0 Fish & CHips with vinegar for ex..."

Anything with the special items (abaolone, etc) do not have a meal assigned. that is what they told us to do. Or so I thought. We just don't assign those to anyone. I have fixed the meal count as well

Thanks. I was just about to do this. I will move everything to the real spreadsheet tomorrow when I have two monitors at work!

Last month coming up!

Do you want me to try to use up the rest of the items? I could either mak..."

Lets just finish out with the remaining items. I could be either adding to existing or new. Up to you.

I updated the spreadsheet with the Month 3 items

I (personally) will be adding all books 300 pages and under to the Rd 3 overflow tab so we can concentrate on the larger item books, unless it has rare items like: Lemon, Vinegar, Raspberry or Figs.

I will also use column L for Items used (removing them from the others)
Column M will be Initials of the Next Three Columns:
Column N Author(s), Narrator(s), and Series
Column O will be Main Characters
Column P will be Other Characters

I added a Pistachio Pasta that will need a description in the store Front Tab. Meal 279

Month 3 Information is available:
Monthly Special:
◈ Fig and raspberry crostata. (figs, vanilla, sugar, raspberries, creme frache, cream, flour, butter, sugar, eggs, rum, almond meal, icing sugar)
-Must contain figs, raspberries, sugar)

Monthly Bonus
Use your spell-it-outs and scavenger hunts to find items to ignite passion for couples on a date. Think oysters, roses, crystal.... use your imagination!!
MAXIMUM 20 ITEMS IN TOTAL

OK. I switched out Last Gasp with Football Royalty. I was able to use the Two Os and an L.

We have 7 Letters to Spell, but Managed needs to be reviewed for more characters (hopefully)

We have 19 items left to use on Scavenger.

Let me know if you want me to limit the list to only books that have items remaining.

Do you like the spell outs? I found them to be such a PITA."

LOL.

I prefer the spell outs. Then I can find "Salad" or "Sandwich" and use any description I want.

Managed had an S so I'm back to two Os./

I was able to make a Taco Salad from The Spooky Life.

Last Gasp got moved to the overflow. I suppose we could look and try and replace that with one of the other ones we only used one or two letters on....

I assumed the items were not listed when there was no read date so I didn't look. That was the only I was talking about.

I'll take a look tomorrow at the Spell it out and try and see about replacing with something on the overflow.

Is there supposed to be a different description for the same dishes? Or is the same one okay?"

I think the same one is ok. I'm not sure how much they look at it/

I need two Os to finish two spell outs.

Need a 5 ingredients salad.

We do have an 8-item book with nothing listed yet. I think Susan is still finishing it.
We also have a few books where we haven't used all the items.

I'm done for the day. My brain is fried. I will check again tomorrow.

We have 90 books, so I don't think we want to add anymore or we will have to redo things.

We could really use help on the Shop Front Tab with descriptions of the meals.

Steph wrote: "I've searched the books you've listed and there weren't any more O's. I can reread Egotistical Puckboy real quick where Oskar is a secondary character."

We can still use 4 more books with 4 items and we have a number. I Can review those to see if they have characters with Os. The books are llisted, but without numbers in column A

I need two Os, so if Managed, Shameless Puckboy, Football Royalty have any other important characters with O, that would be great.
