Got you checked in!

I'm about to finish a book that will work for Large Shrimp or Ground Ginger

Anyone reading anything for either of these? Or is there a preference to which one ya'll want me to use?

Not me, I am deep in Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn
Not sure when I finish, but hopefully during the weekend.

Ok, I'll put it down for ground ginger and hope that's the harder of the two lol

Just posted for butter. Unfortunately, it didn't work for large shrimp. Just started another today but it doesn't work either. I think shrimp may be a tricky one.

Ugh...maybe I should've used that one instead of ground ginger lol

Maybe you could still switch it? And can we do the words separately? I'm reading one now with a title/series title that could work for Large or Shrimp but it doesn't have two R's so I can't do both

Well if we can switch it I'm happy to.

The one I just posted does work for ground ginger. Jamie, you could take large shrimp and butter should be easy. The book I'm currently reading works for butter.

Ok, I'll ask Alaina if we can switch it or if we locked it in once I posted it.

I was thinking that I might have it with this new series I'm reading, but I don't have the P.

So it looks like we change. I just saw Alaina's reply. I'll go ahead and switch mine before she posts it!

She's too fast haha. I'm going to repost mine now for Ground Ginger, you post yours for Large Shrimp and then we'll just have Butter.

ok, let me go and check the book out again quick to get the quotes

also, I do have butter in my current book. But if someone finishs a book that has it before me, please use your book.

Great. I just switched up the spreadsheet. Just post your quotes on there. Butter is now up for grabs!

Ok, posted and added quotes to the spreadsheet...phew! My gut told me to do large shrimp, but I didn't listen lol

Woohoo! It all worked out!

Thanks for switching those out!! I also have a CR for butter but likely won't be done until tomorrow afternoon, so someone is welcome to take it if they finish one quicker than that

Congrats! You finished your first recipe. Here is your next one:


Grilled Peach and Burrata Crostini:
Ingredients: Baguette, Peaches, Burrata Cheese, Pesto, Balsamic Glaze, and Aged Balsamic Vinegar.

This challenge is just Alaina getting to look up pictures of food she wants to eat lol

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

ok, I forgot that we can use any edition!!! 🤦‍♀️

This will help out a lot with this set of words lol

My current book has a long ass name and EVEN the foreign language editions can't spell any of our current ingredients, lol

The one I'm reading now I can spell Aged Balsamic Vinegar with the title/series/authors name. I "should" have it done tomorrow. I think I still have 5 hours of the audio left.

I think this tandem is going to be the end of me

It is long!! I'm hoping to start it sometime this month yet.

Ok, I'm going to try something crazy for Burrata cheese...lol. I mean, if it doesn't work, I'll just bank it, but I'm being inventive Alaina! 😂😂😂

whatcha doinnnn

I used BURR in a word, then ATA in the title/author.

Congrats! You finished your second recipe. Here is your next one:

Ingredients: Kosher Salt, Bow Tie Pasta, Frozen Peas, Mayonnaise, Sour Cream/Greek Yogurt, Olive Oil, Fresh Flat-leaf Parsley, Yellow Mustard, Fresh Lemon Juice, Honey, Ground Black Pepper, Deli Ham, Cheddar Cheese, Red Bell Pepper, and Green Onions.
