Sudoku Puzzles

I located the cause of our popups - daughter downloading Windows Live Messenger +. It's strange though that the popups only occur while I'm on this site.

Thanks for that GLENN... Learn something new everyday here on sudoku....
oh well, looks like BECKY and I aren't cousins afterall
okay GLENN need to ask ?? scrapple and shoe-fly pie !!!!

GLENN...and I thought trying to understand my boys with the computer talk was hard....
Well and truly having trouble with yours !!

Rola, just got back on site. Glenn is correct. My grandmother was born and raised in PA, not sure where. I'm not sure of her ancestry as he was difficult to get along with. She was either Moravian or Mennonite. My father, her son, was raised Methodist.

Glenn, made my hubby scrapple (we More...

Rola,look up Amish in wikipedia and it tells more

I actually meant that it makes me feel awkward to keep on checking on the young ones. Just been down stairs - they are now baking cup cakes at 4:49 am. Perhaps I do not have anything to be too concerned about!!

Sue, I loved the saying from your calendar. ROTFL!!! Got to tell my son when I go to see my little grandson.
Have had a cell phone since I had a student who was extremely allergic to milk (one drop would trigger a serious anaphylactic reaction) and that was ten years ago. Have gone through More...

Rosemary: Broadband, with wireless ?? options !!
Mobiles : Husband - business pays, Son #1 got one when he started Uni 3 years ago, Son #2 got one 2 months ago on prepaid... Both Boys pay their own Bills. and I have one - basic, make calls and text. and have Landline at home.

Rola, scrapple is pork and yellow corn meal cooked into a thick mush, poured into pans to cool, sliced thin, and then browned in hot grease. Shoo-fly pie is a pie made with molasses and spices.

Thanks Nancy will look it up !!!
Becky... I know what speck is.... bona is ??

oh Becky your making me hungry as always!I did have a piece of coconut cream pie the other day but no rhubarb crunch

Nancy.......the rubarb crunch was yummmy

Hey Helena.....concerned?? nah!! except maybe a messy kitchen to tidy up after the baking session

Nancy, went to the Wikipedia site. Most of it is right, but there are differences between PA Dutch and Amish.
PA Dutch are of German and Dutsch ancestry, but most were Lutheran. The Amish are of German ancestry and are Anabaptists.
The Amish I know back home speak German.

General McKenzie was in charge of the Navy, and he was visiting his colleague General Marshall, who was in charge of the Army. McKenzie arrives at the military camp and is greeted by Marshall. They both walk around the place, and McKensie asks: 'So how are your men?'

'Very well trained, More...

Rose,I have DSL on my phone line,I did have dial up but upgraded as soon as I could ,the phone company had a bundle deal I get phone,dish net and DSL all on one with no long distance charges (in the US)so I went with it .

Just read your post, Mariane from Barooga. We had 19ml of rain - a good start, but we need lots more, of course. I just love the fresh eucy smell of the air after rain, don't you?

Nancy, I don't understand it. I stopped by the other day and baked one for you. Maybe the pie fairies came by.

Rola, speck und bona is ham, green beans and potatoes cooked together.

Now you're both probably really hungry. I know I'm getting there. :)

Becky -yes many Amish here too speak German,I believe my area is a melting pot of many we have a lot here, a family lives 2 miles up the road from me

Becky ,I bet my husband ate it and didn't tell me!
and I am reeeeeeeally hungry (tummy growling)

CP must be busy catching babies today - havn't seen her on the site for a while.

Anyway, my shift is nearly over and off the see the Brumbies tonight - wish us luck, we'll need it.

Yes, Rola, sure is a mess, went down to get a chocolate cup cake - they are jummy. The youngsters are all 16 and 17, with hormones flying around!

Nancy, my family has an Amish family that we have become good friends with. Since I moved I don't get to see them often. Maybe I'll write this weekend.

Becky....um no the to Scapple, yes to the Shoo-fly Pie, if it wasn't for the green beans (not a favourite veg), I would almost say yes to speck und bona !!!
now if you were to serve Bruin Boonjes and Speck, or Hachee, or Oliebollen, or Appelflappen.......ohhhh yes please !!!! yummmmmm !!

Rola, I could go for the last 3. I have to confess, I Googled the recipes. Couldn't find Bruin Boonjes and Speck, so I'm not sure what it is.

I also have to confess, I use chops minced real fine in scrapple. Real scrapple is made with boiled hog's head meat. :(

Nancy, the next time I'm in your stomping grounds, will stop in and bake another.

Bruin Boonjes and Speck : Brown Beans and Bacon
Hachee (mum calls it different (in frisan), but I dont know how to spell it) : beef and onion stew.
Oliebollen: deep fried dough dusted with icing sugar ... traditionaly served on New Year's Eve.
Appelflappen : Apple Fritters, also served on New Year's Eve.

Rola, is the Bruin Boonjes and Speck made in a skillet. My mom used to fry up bacon, drain some of the grease off, add onions, then green beans, and cook until the beans just started to brown. Yum.

Would you mean people stop talking about FOOD??!! :)

No Becky.... long time since I have had any ( looking at around 25-30 years) , my Dad used to make it.... Boil the Kidney Beans, fry up cubbed bacon, and mix with the drained beans.. very basic.. I will need to ask mum !!

Why Judy, are you still hungry !!!. Hey how the Hula Lesson....

Judy, are we making you hungry? :)

I'm hungry only for GOOD food. We've been eating what the three little ones eat for the last three days, and hot dogs, chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and burritos are growing quite tiresome. I'd kill for a steak and salad! Hula was fun, as well as the ball games, bike riding, the beach, reading, Legos ...

Glad you are having fun, and yummy food to eat!!!
How many more sleeps before Mum and Dad come home, so Grandma and Grandad can rest ??

Two more sleeps here at my daughter's house. But my husband ... aka Chicken Little ... can't complain ... he went home to sleep! Gr-r!

Yes, BECKY ... the recipes above sound scrumptious!

Judy, if they'll eat burgers, have your hubby grill a couple of steaks along with burgers. My great niece loves carrot and celery strips along with dip. That way you guys can have your steak and salad, and, the young ones can have finger food.

Just an idea.

Judy...Tell 'Chicken Little' he's getting old

Good ideas, Becky, but I think I'll let the anticipation grow ... and enjoy said meal once our grandparenting duties have ended! Rather than scarfing a treat while I'm tending to three little darlings, I'd rather wait for ... candlelight, peace and quiet, a good bottle of wine, a rare filet mignon, a green salad ...

A 98 year old woman wrote this letter to her bank.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month.
By my calculations, three 'nanoseconds' must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my More...

Judy, sounds even better.
