Okay, so I'm trying something different this time with meals because I may or may not have as much time when these four weeks are over to catch up. I started meals with some unique ingredients in my book. Feel free to fill in gaps or start new meals and I'll do the same. I think this may help us stay on track or at least it will in my brain. Any suggestions on some good spell-out options so we can put them in the spreadsheet and then find books that fit the best options?

Yay, thanks Shannon. Maybe tomorrow night after we see how we stack up we can figure out some spell-out options. That would help me find books to maximize letters. I'm going to go ahead and add my 300 plus books that I have planned for the next couple days and I also plan on making meals as I go if I can so we don't have to scramble at the end.

Yay, Shannon! You go right ahead because you did a great job last time.

It's all fixed and in all we only lost two meals and we lost a couple fancy fish and chips to regular fish and chips.

Okay, let me go see what I can do to fix it. No problem.

I highlighted the 3 extra Murder books that need to go away. I highlighted the 12 extra ingredients for the double books. I'm going to wait til we get someone to come on here and give us the green light before I delete and rearrange those ingredients. With the right maneuvering we won't lose too many meals.

Okay, I changed the name back on 23 and that fixed one of the big issues. Here are the two issues that I see now before I go to fixing more until the mods way in:

First: The Casual Vacancy and Last Train to Istanbul2 are the same book. So we need to remove 12 ingredients from the spreadsheet which is definitely going to modify meals. I can do this but I want the mods opinion on what to do first.

Two: Given where the meals are made with the random A Rule Against Murder. The page numbers don't match up on a couple so I really feel like there was a Dead book at some point but then it vanished and something was put in its place.

Oh my......oh my........oh my......okay so now we have major spreadsheet problems. Is there a way to get this back to where it was at 4 pm when we stopped working on it and I can try to fix it from there? So now we have two AnnLukov books but 23 should be istanbul and not lukov. I have no idea about the Dead situation as of yet. I'm afraid to change 23 back to istanbul because I don't know what it's going to do to this spreadsheet.

Lol that sounds like a hot mess express. When I get home I’ll have a look but I have a feeling we may need a mod aka an experienced spreadsheet person to come fix our disaster. We already have two lukovs so there’s no telling.

Oh boy! I’m not home at my computer. I know what happened with istanbul2. Ann renamed it to something else, should’ve been book spot 40 possibly? Not sure if those words go reused in another meal though because I can’t see it. Now the dead book I have no idea what happened. I should be home in a little bit to have a look unless someone wants to try to ply detective.

Cool, thanks, do we start counting our books that read tomorrow? I'm taking a computer break for a bit but I have a ton of YA books coming up this week and I think a few of them are 300 pagers. I'm definitely going to have to slip some better 500 pagers in to get a break from YA angst.

Okay, I'm back we have 30 minutes to fix this all up. I'm going back to see what needs to be done. I can take Jenny's last book off and just put something there to use for one ingredient if I need to.

I think I have figured out the books and the remaining ingredients in those doubles so now I'm back to making meals. I think I can get a good bit more meals. I just gotta maneuver ingredients around.

Oh, that would make it a lot easier than what I've been doing. Let me just go add a 2 to each of those at the moment and then we can figure it out later this morning.

I sent her a message because I have no idea how to figure it out.

I'm going to go investigate and see if I can figure out her books really fast before I start the spell-out meals.

Yep, I think I have them all numbered up to where I'm currently at.

I found another issue:

Ann: The Moonstone on lines 24 and 33

Ann: Last Train to Istanbul on lines 40 and 23

The page numbers are different so I really feel it's different books that have been named the same by accident but it's messing up the numbers over here.

Cool, thanks for naming. I don't even know what to do there. I've got quite a mess going on in the meal making area. Yeah, I'm going to send her a message and tell her to come update those if she's awake and I'll keep making things. We also have to figure out Ann's situation with those books that are named the same because it's messing the ingredients up.
