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.

Ann: We've got double books in line 24 and 33 but the page numbers are different and the words are different. I'm so not sure what is going on but I think 33 is supposed to be a different title??

I've got coffee and snacks. I ended up falling asleep on the couch last night. I'm about to power through and make meals with all the rest of the things still left and use as many spell-outs as I can. I'll just need some help with names in a little bit.

I made a few more meals. I'm really not good at naming things so if anyone wants to help me out that would be awesome. Also, with my Lady Luck book, some of the desserts came written with multiple ingredients, am I able to put those down as whole desserts since that's how they were in the book? I'll be back in a couple hours to work some more.

I posted my comment somewhere but I have no idea what thread. Anybody have any good short books that they have read this week with lots of characters with vowels to take that last open spot. I have not but I can power through something tonight if need to. Here's a breakdown of the letters that we have left to use and how many in each section:

5 left: C, U, S, Q, M, M, H, B, V, M, G, P, J, G, F, R

2 left: R, Z, Q, L, J, M, J, S, F, R, S, L

1 left: W, D, S, Y

4 left: A, C, B, D, T, H, N, S, T

6 left: C, H, N, B, K, F, O, D, O, I, T, K, J, M, T, O

7 left: M, E, M, T, B, J, C, E, R, D

6 left: T, R, J, H, F, Q


Some possible choices that I've found so far with just using limited vowels in a word to make more meals and using UBE once but haven't had enough time to dive in are...

UBE, FISH, OYSTER, GYRO, SHRIMP, CRAB, EGG, CORN, CURRY, GRITS, JAM, JELLY,

Some of the numbers got jumbled this morning which is why we had to play musical numbers but I think it should work for you now. Any suggestions on some good spell-outs? I need to go write down all the letters we have left and see what we can make.
