Trio | 259 comments quick question
if I have two kinds of pasta listed in 1 book... can I split the book between two meals and use each pasta?


message 302: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments I have a ton of grading to do over the next few days, but will add some dessert and alcohol from 500+ page book I’m reading, and a special.

I’ll fill in as needed and write some descriptions, too.

I have a number of books to search through, what do we need ?(they're under 500)"


Well wait till everyone added all urrent books listed as i think thats over 60 items then we can pick


message 306: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments what edition do we list on the SS? sorry, I think I've asked before but I can't find the answer


message 307: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Think i been using edition i read , but as long as that and default edition work in same pg count group, it shouldnt matter


message 308: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments thanks


message 309: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments Janeylou - line 350 is a sandwish item for the sandwich I made in lines 333-339. SORRY!
If we figure out how to add lines, or if there's a way to make this clearer please let me know asap to save any confusion I know I'm making.


message 310: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Just looked
We dont need it in the sandwich as has 7 items so you could put in PASTA instead ( line 331

okay, done


message 312: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Trio..dont add any more books to main sheet ..just saw your 'wanted a gentleman '
It can only be used for 2 words and we have lots of books on standby that can be used for 8 .
We waiting till everyone has added all there words from excisting books to see what we need

Trio | 259 comments Oh I used Wanted a Gentleman to finish my pasta dish... was that the wrong idea? I forgot there was a max number of books we can use. Should I delete it?


message 314: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Someone else can always finish your pasta dish Trio.
If possible we want the larger pages . Understanbly 500+ is too big for most of us
but 301 - 500 pgs gives us 8 items .
So may be best to delete ..sorry


message 315: by Trio (last edited Sep 18, 2022 02:40PM) (new)

Trio | 259 comments gotcha - sorry, I've been really slow on the uptake with this challenge, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.

I deleted it, but it did mess up the SS 😢


message 316: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Sorted..you had too many items in pasta as well , so we ok now

I didn’t say it was good…


message 320: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments Haha, yes, I was raised in a household that ate no meat - my step mom was huge into seafood so we ate a ton of it lol.


message 321: by Claudia (new)

Claudia | 103 comments I created a few deserts and started writing descriptions.
Let me know if that works for you like that


message 322: by Janeylou (last edited Sep 19, 2022 07:15AM) (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Claudia thats fine , can you use the rest of your items from job hunt for water and juice if possible ..we have no water and not mych juice


message 323: by Claudia (new)

Claudia | 103 comments I have definitely some water books and got a few juices.
Do we need als some alcoholic drinks like Jack Daniels?


message 324: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Think we ok for alcoholic drink and we can only use water from 500+ pgs


message 325: by Claudia (new)

Claudia | 103 comments Janeylou wrote: "Think we ok for alcoholic drink and we can only use water from 500+ pgs"

I just looked that up as well .... will do the drinks tonight.

Can we use single ingredients for deserts from other books?
I think I have to change the peaches for the fruit cake


message 326: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Desserts can only come from 500+ pgs as well

Janeylou | 1134 comments We need water from claudias Job hunt if possible , and could do with some more curries


message 333: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Claudia, you are missing 2 location pages on line 300/301


message 334: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments From Mods

..RESTAURANT NAME
At the start of the challenge, name your restaurant and give a (max. 5 sentence) blurb “about” the restaurant. This may just give you an advantage for round 2….
===============

To be eligible for an advantage your team blurb needs to be on your spreadsheet by 23 September


If i have time i may see if i can do a bit of swap around as we said we were plant focused..and most of our dished are meat based 😄😄

Claudia | 103 comments Janeylou wrote: "We need water from claudias Job hunt if possible , and could do with some more curries"

I have one coke and at least 5 water in job hunt.

I will add them tonight and finish my items.

I am reading now witchblood which has a lot of herbs, bread and fruit. So even if we can't use it this month, maybe one of you would enjoy it next month.
The same with the purpose that restores us

So if there is still space for a book one of these would work well


message 336: by Janeylou (last edited Sep 21, 2022 06:28AM) (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Think you got 4 left for job hunt so use 4 waters please

Ive got 3 x 300+ books done with decent items
Shout up anyone wha also has 300+ pg books not added yet , we got room for another 3


message 337: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments I've got 2 on the books read page that are 300+ but want to be sure I put in useful stuff. I've also got 2 other 300+ that I haven't done anything with. I've also finished a 500+ that I haven't recorded yet either.

What shall I do? Add in Damage Control at 518?
Go through my recorded books, and add non-alcoholic drinks?
Make another special? I can do that, too.

Sorry -- I know I've been kind of out of it for a few days. This class is kicking my butt--I have so many students and it's a writing intensive class.

Ooh, I also named and described all the food I contributed to. I can do more, easy peasy, but didn't want to step on any toes.

XOXO


message 338: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Kirsten your 500+ can be used for some juices if it has any and a few more waters..
Im thinkng we have enough desserts unless you find something extra special

We def need more curries but do whatever you can with what youve got
Slot a couole of your 300+ in if they got good items Kirsten

We'll get rhis month done and then can re group about next and see how we can improve

Thats all Kristens work Claudia ..im only a cook, shes the menu writer 😄😄


message 341: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 696 comments I added the rest of mine so all the books i have on the spreadsheet are already used. I also have a bunch that I still haven't added. Will wait to see what we need to fill in and if any are good for it.


message 342: by Caipi (new)

Caipi (bookaholic17) | 34 comments I finally entered the ingredients from the books I read to the meals. 😬 Hope I did it correctly.....

I'm so sorry it took me so long to finally get it done, but the last few days have been extremely stressful. My son had his final exams and is now a fully qualified nurse. We are proud of him and celebrated it a bit with the family. We also have overnight guests at the moment as my nephew is getting married the day after tomorrow. And as if all this were not enough, I have caught a bad cold.
Fingers crossed that it will be back to normal for us next week.


message 343: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Ypu are a busy little bee 😄😄 Give our congrats to your son Caipi and have a great wedding


message 344: by Claudia (new)

Claudia | 103 comments sorry, it took me some time. I added the waters, one curry, one tea, and a salad (which is not finished)

I have two books which have some good items in there, at least one has more than 300 pg
should I add them?


message 345: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Claudia, ive added my last item to your salad

Kirsten said she had a 500+ and 3 x 300 books she was going to add
@ Kirsten are you still ok with that or would you rather someone else do it
