..at least there is no more balsamic?

If I see another B word, it'll be too soon, lol

😂😂😂

Oh my goodness! The ingredients in this one haha. We'll make it!

I'll try and go through the banked tab to see if anything works with the title/series/author

😂😂😂

Holly molly A LOT of ingredientsssss

Finishing that recipe makes me feel like we escaped from jail LOL

Ok so I have a book that works for "fresh lemon juice" but it also has the word "squid" in it. Anyone think I should save it just in case or just post it?

I say just post it - no telling how long it'll be if/before "squid" is necessary

Sounds good. Also, I noticed you put up How Does it Feel for "honey". It also works for "ground black pepper" and I think honey may be the easier of the two.

Oh sweet, good point. You should switch that one to ground black pepper, then, and we can find something else for honey!

Ok I've gone through the banked tab and found as many ingredients as I can using spellings in titles and such. I've put stuff on the SS but not yet on the review - I'm happy to post banked books but I want to give everyone a chance to look it over in case there are better places to put things than what I found

I'm not at home right now, so ya'll can post for me if any of them are mine.

Ok, posted a bunch. And thanks Brittni for finding some of the tougher ones. Looks like we only have 3 left:

Mayonnaise
Fresh flat-leaf parsley
Cheddar Cheese

I haven't checked my current book, but I'll do that when I get home and see if I can cover one of them.

I'm working on one now that will work for mayonnaise. I have a feeling that "fresh flat-leaf parsley" is our main barrier here

I actually think I can get fresh flat leaf parsley with the book I just finished.

Ok amazing, so it's just cheddar cheese that we need. Or if someone has a book for mayonnaise quicker than me, please go ahead and post it

I have cheddar cheese with the book I just finished. I'll post shortly after I get the review up.

I got mayonnaise with Sinners Anonymous and can post now

Woohoo! Thanks everyone. We'll have a new recipe in no time.

I am so excited. I felt like I couldn't participate for the first part of the month because I was stuck in the tandem and there wasn't much I could do.
So good to feel I can contribute.

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


Southern Fried Okra:
Ingredients: Fresh Okra Pods, Eggs, Kosher Salt, Vegetable Oil, Yellow Cornmeal, All-purpose Flour, Black Pepper, and Cayenne Pepper.

Ok, we just need Kosher Salt to finish this receipe.

I'll have one posted for that later tonight, unless someone beats me to it

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


Jalapeño Sloppy Joes:
Ingredients: Butter, Ground Turkey, Onion, Garlic, Ketchup, Pickled Jalapeño, Brown Sugar, Worcestershire Sauce, Chili Powder, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Salt, and Hamburger Buns.

and I thought the balsamic was hard
here we are with Jalapeño and Worcestershire 😂

🥰🥰🥰

Hahahaha. Oh goodness! This should be interesting. Alaina, get ready for some wild piecing together for Worcestershire.

I'm sure I can find something interesting to make a couple of these work lol

Watch one of us immediately pick up a book by an English chef or something and have Worcestershire sauce come up on page 1, lol

😂😂😂😂

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


Mixed Berry Shortcake:
Ingredients: Biscuits, All-purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Sugar, Salt, Butter, Buttermilk, Almond Extract, Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Orange Juice, Orange Zest, Sweet Yogurt Cream, Plain Greek Yogurt, Heavy Cream, and Brown Sugar.

I love how the recipes keep getting longer, lol

Looking into your banked tab, you could do the following:

Baking Powder - use Babylunlun's book Alice in April, BAKING - Pg. 54, "what about baking" & POWDER - Pg. 94, "the chili powder"

You could use babylunlun's other book, Four Aunties and a Wedding for SUGAR - using letters in the title or BUTTER - PG. 17, "you're just buttering me"

Biscuits
Sugar
Salt
Butter
Blueberries
Blackberries
Plain Greek Yogurt

Diana, it looks like you've read some books for this month but I don't see any reviews written or status updates added. If you do that, I can help look for where your books can go.

I'll post those books on the spreadsheet, and then the review page. Thanks for finding those for us Alaina!

You're welcome!

Is my SS glitched or something? The banked tab has been blank for me for like a week or two

no, lol, I added the books to the banked tab :)

Alaina wrote: "no, lol, I added the books to the banked tab :)"

Ahh, ok. Thanks for doing that!

I finished and as a first look it doesn't fit salt or sugar (though other editions might)
but it does fit several other things so I will bank it unless we have to make it work for the remaining 2 ingredients here

SUGAR - using letters in title and series title, with this edition
Jugando fuerte (La ciudad de los vientos, #2) OR using letters in title with this edition, The Right Move - Szerelem a hazugságok között

SALT - using letters in series title, with the same edition
Jugando fuerte (La ciudad de los vientos, #2) OR using letters in author's name and the title with this edition, The right move. Conquista da campione

Thanks Alaina and Saige!

There are some food items in the text so I thought I would bank it.
Let me know guys if someone can post or I should use it so we can get the bonus + our next recipe

I have salt and sugar in the book I'm reading now. Is anyone else currently reading a book with salt/sugar in it that will be done today?

Or we can post your book Grace, I should have mine done later today and then we can get our next recipe.

Yeah I have one for salt that I'll be done with tonight, but Jamie go ahead and post yours first, no need to wait for me

I just finished, so I'll post mine for sugar. Then we can use your book for salt, Saige. :)

Eden just put one in banked that works, so I posted that one! Should have a new recipe soon!

🥳🥳
nice work team
