Vicki’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

This should be an interesting take on Wheels! I love this challenge and look forward to it every year. This year we will be in Cabo San Lucas from Nov 16-26 but that will only involve 1 book that will have to be read before we get back, I think so I'll be able to work it out with whichever team I am on.

LOL I wish you hadn't said that because now I can't stop singing it at least in my head! lol

I'd say no. It would be kind of gross to add coconut to milk in a curry :o

Can you tell I am not a good cook? True story! lol Thank you :)

I just now am noticing that our meal numbers on the Kitchen Meals tab do not align with our Shop Front Meals tab. I would assume they have to so that we can see what all ingredients we have to make some accurate descriptions or not?

if we have the word "coconut" and "milk" in the same book can we combine them for "coconut milk?

I read a book with 675 pages per Goodreads; however, I borrowed the ebook from Scribd which shows 925 pages. I might have some foods that are in the over 675 page bracket which is more than the pages GR shows. Is it okay to just put the page number the Scribd ebook shows? It's a lot of pages to try to go back through and figure out the % instead. Is there some way I can indicate the discrepancy or is it necessary?

Angie, that's what I thought but when I read Tammie's message in post 101 scared me. lol I thought maybe it was closer to the end of the round!

Don’t we have until the end of the month? I have a lot to add!

Okay, I thought so. Thanks :)

Dang it, my book above got only 4 words but it had so many good descriptive ones. Then as I was putting them on the SS from my NOTES on my phone, I was probably 3/4 finished and inadvertently deleted the list except the last 4. UGH!!!! Good thing I already had so many listed but it still makes me feel like I wasted my time. lol

FYI team, I used only 2 ingredients for meal #10 so that I can save my other 2 "vinegar" words for bonus points. Please let me know if I should do anything different because I can complete the meal and skip saving vinegar.

I has all except lemon but I was wondering if I should not use it for a meal but use only the 3 vinegars to help complete fish & chips meals. But with how we all read maybe we will have plenty. Vinegar just gives us bonus points.

Whoever has been adding our menu descriptions...excellent job! :) And thank you for doing that!

Question: I'm reading Vinegar Girl and it has "vinegar" 3 times since I can include the title. It has a ton of other words but it's only 237 pages long. Should I go ahead and put all of the words or just vinegar 3x and a few other words? I have a very long list. lol And if I do add the book on the working SS, do I add it

Woo hoo! Thank you :)

Would "vinegar" in the title work or must it be in the text only?

Thanks Tammie. I think we all have our planned as well as unexpected interruptions with our reading so it’s always good to be on a supportive and understanding team! :) Good luck to you!

Just finished The Tea Rose and it had vinegar twice plus a lot of unique foods!

Our drive ended up 10 hours due to heavy traffic in Los Angeles and beyond, but it's so beautiful here in Oceanside. I got to see my granddaughter Madilyn (6 months pregnant) last night and she and her boyfriend Jason surprised us and told us they just got married on Sept 1, so we have a new grandson-in-law.

I obviously didn't see all these messages yesterday so I finished posting one meal for a sandwich so others can see it. I can change anything but I wanted to show a completed meal. I'm going to see if I have an invite for a SECRET group...my favorite! lol

I'd love a plan to have a goal over what me..."

LOL You could never be the weakest link! ;)

Thank you, Angie for your SS fixes and well-wishes! :)

Because they sent me a template, I think maybe I should be able to give access but I really don’t know.

Tammie, we just got back from Canmore. Banff National Park is breathtaking and Jasper too! We loved it there!
