In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs as always. Subbie is also here for THREE days. So you better be nice, otherwise you get coal on your face. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

TUCKER
Verb

This word is pronounced “tuk er”

Etymology: I don’t know.


Verb:

1) Exhaust, fatigue.

I know what naughty words rhyme with this one, so be careful!

Probably a foot now. Snowing again. I hate snow!

It's a lot of snow away from the Lakes. (This is normal in the UP or West Michigan)

I don't need socks to do that with a tile floor. I'm always sliding, and not on purpose. LOL!

Poor CJ. It takes so long to heal from those injuries, I know, been there, done that.

Cyber's from Michigan. That's why he lives here. Hates snow.

I really love snow for a short period of time as long as there's a good fireplace and everything else is working.

I'd love to see a photo of Lucius out there hopping around. I do so miss seeing the dogs hoppity hopping through the snow. Well, it's only one deaf dog now and Simba the Wonderful Cat -- actually, Simba is a sh!*. I was up late last night reading in here, and he wouldn't stop his danged meowing. I think I'll put a muzzle on him. LOL!

Glad to hear the snow has stopped. I guess Boston is going to get hit pretty soon.

If it is going to get down into the low 20's as predicted tonight, it could at least snow a little bit, but no-just cold. We're headed out to meet a neighbor couple for dinner in a fes minutes-y'all stay safe and warm, and I hope your electricity continues to function.

Hi, Miss Slip:

With an open fire or grill. Melt some butter and swirl it round inside the skillet. Take a few large spoonfuls of dough and slide them into the skillet. Put the skillet towards the top of the flame. You want a narrow and focused low heat. The idea is to use uniform heat all around the skillet like an oven. You can cover the skillet or leave it open. Leave enough room to turn the spoonfuls of dough. About 20 to 30 minutes per side. Or 40 minutes uncovered.

For crepes. Heat a teflon skillet under a low heat. Melt about a teaspoon of margarine in the skillet swirl it round. Use a small ladle to pour in the crepe batter. Return the skillet above the heat. Flip the crepe. Reheat. It won't take long. Your eyes and nose will know when to flip the crepe out and repeat.

It's kind of a variation of the buttered Cast Iron Skillet and Funnel Cake function. Which is also great for keeping kids quiet and entertained in the kitchen when there's not much to do.

Jack.

we're fine, don't worry. so what did it look like when you were out and about plowing? how much does it look like we got? the guy on Fox keeps promising it is going to wrap around and that there will be more, but i am skeptical.

no sign of Gabz since this first started, i am betting she lost power. not like her not to be freeping, and most especially with weather like this.

Winter storm warning extended till tomorrow. Worse for the Lake Huron Coast which has a blizzard warning.

Can't wait to try it. I cook outside in the summertime when the temp gets over 110. Thank you so much!

When I was born here, raised here, educated here, work here, and have all my connections here - what can I do?
