My question was how to indicate when they were "done," and how to name/identify them.

Got it, thank you!!
ANother question, might just be for Janine, or at least people more cultured than me lol. What is clotted cream and can I use it for my dessert? pictures made it look like it's used with jam and scones which I'm assuming is usually a breakfast but I would totally eat it for a dessert lol.
Ive just been using basic amount this round , we can get a bit more adventurous next time Each meeal is assigned a number and then we transfer this number to another sheet

I added it to a general "dessert" but can change if needed
When we describe the meals can we use any dessert for dessert will check q & a
We cant use dessert as a dessert has to be a name of one Q: I have a question when it comes to desserts where only 1 item is needed to complete the category.
I get how dessert would work with spell it out, but when it comes to words found in text could you build desserts with things that could be part of a dessert but aren't the dessert specifically? Something like cinnamon or syrup, things that aren't a dessert necessarily on their own but are ingredients in many desserts
A: Not with desserts. If you look at the details for the categories, whereas the others give examples of ingredients that is not the case for desserts. It needs to be the name of a dessert or a generic term such as "tart
okay I will work on that! I'm still figuring it out and making changes. Thank you for checking :)

Can imagine that - I am trying to cope with the last month of the scavenger Hunt and this one
but I just created 3 meals and finished one of Amandas - and it was real fun!
Over next few days im going to transfer meals onto final page so we can see how many weve got and what we need to focus on ..we may find we dont need anymore cups of tea 😄😄
I've got the afternoon free tomorrow so I can do my data entry.
Ive started putting some of the meals into final section so we can get descriptions started but the SS says REF again , anyone got any sugguestions or do i need to ask mod
Also on the Kitchen prep page i have coloured the completed boxes yellow.of meals put in other section so please dont change any of these
Amanda on kitchen prep line 50 & 51 you have tea and sugar ..tea has to have tea & water as 2 items , does your book 'love him desperate' have water in it that you can swp over
Janeylou wrote: "Amanda on kitchen prep line 50 & 51 you have tea and sugar ..tea has to have tea & water as 2 items , does your book 'love him desperate' have water in it that you can swp over"Yup, fixed! And I don't know how to fix the REF error, sorry!
I promise I'm coming back to this. Just buried with work (and all the damn challenges).
Everything up to line 173 has been added to final menu Claudia there are a few items that you have filled in that have no location for them, if you could add please
We currently have 58 books added so we can take out foot of the pedal a.bit now we know we will meet our 80 max , so i am going to ignore my shorter books ive recently read ( for quidditch) and focus on the longer ones .
Im currently writing up a list of what we have , seem to have a lot of alcholic drinks ( and although its not something i would normally say but we may not need any more booze 😄😄😄)
Also when we write up desriptions we best not say how much salt our meals have in them 😳😳😄😄
So far we have 5 x Sandwich 60
5 x Fish and Chips 45
4 x Fish and Chips with Vinegar 55
10 x Coffee 20
5 x Tea 30
6 x Salad 50
6 x Pasta 40
8 x Quiche 45
3 x Curry 60
2 x Monthly Speacial 80
8 x Dessert 20
12 x Alcoholic drink 20
10 x Non-Alcoholic Drink 20
Trio, I see that you're working on the spreadsheet so I'll wait until you're done!
I plan to update this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
Amanda wrote: "Trio, I see that you're working on the spreadsheet so I'll wait until you're done!"yes, I've got to get caught up here!!!
just re-reading the instructions and rules now... I might need some help.
what should I do with my two books that don't have page counts yet?
Trio wrote: "what should I do with my two books that don't have page counts yet?"Prob best not to use them trio
I'll save them for when they are updated with page counts - they've both got good food words in them.Is the tab called Shop Front only for you and Amanda to use?

Lol at you thinking I have any idea whats going on 😂😂 maybe next round I can try to take some of the pressure off Janine but still so lost.
we have all month though right? so I can save those two books till the page counts are on GR?
And I'M SO CONFUSED LOL, I've been putting it off like crazy because I've literally got no idea how to start 🤣My first book is pretty easy - The Blacksmith and the Ex-Con. It's got stuff like soda, ice cream, lemondade - but stuff like ginger, sage, and honey too. So I'm hoping I can create something good from it.

Just remember that drinks/desserts the book has to be 500+ pages. It's super confusing at first but definitely gets easier. I found it easiest to make a copy of the spreadsheet so I can have the copied open to the list of ingredients for meals and then search for those things and put them in the actual spreadsheet.
and we're only searching for the things listed on that SS?Then say I've got 4 of the things to make a curry (for example), then I need 4 lines on the Kitchen Meals Created SS?
I had to have both my phones open on the SS 😄😄
Trio wrote: "and we're only searching for the things listed on that SS?Then say I've got 4 of the things to make a curry (for example), then I need 4 lines on the Kitchen Meals Created SS?"
If you are starting a new curry dish then open 10 lines ( minimum items we need ) but just fill in your 4
Dont worry about filling in the meal number / complete column as im changing as i go down as not working out
When you put your book into book read it will fill in the amount of words your book can claim ..when you go onto next page KMC make sure you copy and paste your book title as if it a little different it wont work
can other people's books be combined with mine to make one dish?
Trio wrote: "can other people's books be combined with mine to make one dish?"Yup! You can add on to any of the dishes where there are blank spaces. I usually try to start there before starting a new dish
okay I figured I'd better start or I'll never get anywhere...so I added my first two books - take a look and tell me what I need to do?
and I have the following items I didn't list: lemons, honey, burger, toast, yorkshire pudding, cereal, margarine, hot dogs, ice cream, orange crush, cinnamon, and sage
how do I add those things (if we even need them yet)?
The drinks won't work because it isn't 500+ pages, right?
and UH-OH - I didn't leave the spaces for the rest of the items but "inserting" a row messes up the formulas, and I can't seem to cut and paste without messing it up either!Sorry Janeylou!!! Can you add rows in for me?
