Jammin Jenny’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Okay we used all the ingredients and came up with 236 menu orders. Hopefully that's enough and we have the right mix for our customers!!

If anyone wants to look at the menu orders to see if they can come up with more creative titles, feel free - you have 20 words you can use in the menu description

I'm going through the books we read and making recipes. I'm up to 232 recipes.

I also moved Vicki's two books below the line to 77 and America Dirt, so we have our 100 books total.

ETA: We only have 11 ingredients left to use so I'll try to make the most of them.

See original post and QnA

Special words can be reused as it's per page/loc
If it appears 10x in a book it can be used 10x

The reason so many recipies have special words i..."

Okay I'll look in my books for the recipes that don't have special words to see if I can find extras.

None of the meals Jenny made have special words with them. Catching the Wind provides one of the ingredients, so go ahead and add one of the special words found in Catc..."

Some (or most) of the meals I made have special words with them:

Meals with Special Words from my books (22):
- Meal 24
- Meal 40
- Meal 42
- Meal 43
- Meal 53
- Meal 54
- Meal 55
- Meal 64
- Meal 65

- Meal 75
- Meal 76
- Meal 77
- Meal 78
- Meal 80
- Meal 83
- Meal 84
- Meal 90
- Meal 210

Meals with Special Words from other's books (5) (so I didn't include it):
- Meal 15 (Anna's book had it)
- Meal 38 (Vicki's book had it)
- Meal 51 (Tammie's book had it)
- Meal 70 (Ann's book had it)
- Meal 79 (Tammie's book had it)

Meals without Special Words (10):
- Meal 81 - fish and chips (The Silent Corner)
- Meal 82- coffee (Cross and The Silent Corner)
- Meal 85 - coffee (Murder in Old Bombay)
- Meal 86 - apple juice (The Leopard)
- Meal 87 - chocolate cake (The Leopard)
- Meal 88 - red wine (The Leopard)
- Meal 89 - whiskey on ice (The Leopard)
- Meal 91 - beer (The Leopard)
- Meal 211 - coffee (Murder in Mesopotamia)
- Meal 212 - tea (Murder in Mesopotamia)

I used the special word from each of those books already. Can we use it again in another menu item? I can search those books to find if there are multiple instances of local, quality or neighborhood.

ETA: I updated the local and quality words for these menu items:

- Meal 86 - apple juice (The Leopard) - quality
- Meal 87 - chocolate cake (The Leopard) - quality
- Meal 88 - red wine (The Leopard) - local
- Meal 89 - whiskey on ice (The Leopard) - quality
- Meal 91 - beer (The Leopard) - local
- Meal 85 - coffee (Murder in Old Bombay) - local
- Meal 81 - fish and chips (The Silent Corner) - quality
- Meal 82- coffee (Cross and The Silent Corner) - local

Now all the meals with books I read have special words.

I finished my last book, and posted three menu items. There are a few books with 1-3 leftover ingredients if we want to do a mash up. All 100 books are now posted in our SS.

Vicki is creating menu items now, so we should review later tonight to see what we have left.

I probably won't finish Thunderhead in time. I will finish this book though:

Murder in Mesopotamia - 264 pages

Does anyone need help creating meals? Please post here if you do.

Have fun Anna!

It's a tough time Sally, so I completely understand...

I love this challenge because we have such a chill group!!

No, that sounds good to me. Is everyone flying again? I haven't been following this thread like I should...

It might take a week to get our new itinerary so we might not be able to depart till mid-January

Looks like some of our travellers missed their flights, while others took early flights to return to our starting point. When we're all back where we started, I'll send a PM to our NBRC Travel Agent and request a new itinerary.

Hey I finished but I listened to audio at high speed, so I'm going to search for ingredients from the story tomorrow. I'm wiped and am going to bed.

We can only have spell out items in the menu if we start with spell out right? We can't combine spell out and scavenger items?

I only know the undo (left arrow) - not sure what else you can do - that sucks!!!

Yes, I think we can add watermelon to a fruit salad, adult beverage, kids beverage, sandwich and a dessert.

Oh, Ha!

Huh? Sorry, RI&E?

I think we could have a piece of watermelon 🍉 or watermelon cubes with a sandwich

I’ll help tomorrow
