Just checking in . Have a few challenges to catch up with over weekend, but ill be back 😁

Checking in!

Got you two checked in!

Adding Vicki to the team everyone!

Checking in! Hello Team Fifty Shades of Gravy! Love the team name. :)

Hi Kim & Vicki ....good to see again Vicki..how are all the grandkids ?

Checking in! My MIL bought me a "Fifty Shades of Chicken" cookbook so I love this team name

I bought my dad a ' Fifty Sheds of Grey' book 😄😄

Hello team!

Here is your first recipe for the challenge!


Tacos on a Stick:Ingredients: Taco Seasoning, Tomato Juice, Canola Oil, Beef Top Sirloin Steak, Green Pepper, Sweet Red Pepper, Onion, Cherry Tomato, Salsa Con Queso, and Sour Cream.

Im going to 'try' and use my longer books .
Ive got
tomato juice
Cherry tomato
Sour cream
Red pepper
Green pepper

i just snagged a couple cozy mystery audios from the library so i will see how they pan out. for the record, if we want to use a book for any of the multi-word ingredients, we only need to find one of the words, right? for example, "beef top sirloin steak" we can use beef or top or sirloin or steak?

I read it that we would have to find all 4 words but could be in different parts of book ..( each word seperately)

Let me re read the rules

Doesnt acually say so asked in q & a

Wonderful! Our 8th great-grandchild is due ANY minute! Tomorrow I'll be watching the littles (Lily and Julian aka Juju) for two days while my daughter and SIL go to Vegas, but not for fun. She's in RN school and has to go to Vegas to do her clinicals. I love watching them, though. Now that they're 6 and 5 we can play Go Fish and Matching Hello Kitty game and other things. I'm looking forward to it. :)

How are things in your corner of the world?

LOL That's too funny! I love it!

IF I understand correctly, and if nobody minds, I'll take SWEET RED PEPPER and I get it from this. I did ask in the Q/A to make sure I understand and that this is OK.

SWEET (title & ALN) "red dress" (16), "pepper him" (260)

Got everyone who checked in up to here!

@ Kim...i asked

Janeylou wrote: "For the 4 word items ..Beef top sirloin steak

Does 1 person have to find all 4 words ( in dif parts.of book)

Or
Can 1 person find beef & top, and another find sirloin steak ?"

Typically we do one book per word. So, for this challenge, it's one book per ingredient. You can definitely use any combination of the following ways to find your ingredient(s).

1. Using object(s) on the cover (if applicable—for example, an orange on the cover would work for orange(s). Any edition works.)
2. Using the letters in title, series title, and/or author's first/middle/last name (in any order)
3. Finding the word(s) in text (please state location and passage). Words do not need to be together in the same sentence either.
4. Using the color of the cover (if applicable—for example, an orange cover would work for orange(s). Any edition works.)

I also love creative loopholes

Like SIRLOIN using letters in the title/series title/authors full name? Then finding BEEF, STEAK, and TOP in text within the same book?

Yes, you can do that.

Adding Lexi to the team everyone!

I think I did that right. I won't be able to get to it for a couple days though or possibly tomorrow but not tonight. So if anybody wants to read it or has another book before I get to it, feel free to remove mine to banked for when I read it.

Hi, Lexi, and welcome to Team Fifty Shades of Gravy! :)

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


Green Goddess Vegan Potato Salad:
Ingredients: Yukon Gold/Fingerling Potatoes, Green Onions, Avocados, Parsley, Tarragon, Vegan Mayonnaise, Capers, Seasoned Salt, Celery, and Radishes.

**For the potatoes, you just need to find 'YUKON GOLD POTATOES' or 'YUKON FINGERLING POTATOES.' You don't need to find both GOLD and FINGERLING.

Now that looks yummy 😋

am i about to add to my TBR and my FTM (food to make)? haha

So we still need
YUKON GOLD/FINGERLING POTATOES
RADISHES
GREEN ONIONS

my avocados will be a few days yet

i can do a spell out of GREEN ONIONS with my current book title and author. should be finished by tomorrow

I stOp SOmEwhERe waitiNG for you by amaNda joNes

Not sure if anyone noticed but i asked this in Q & A

Janeylou wrote: "If avocados are required to find ..can we use avocado instead ..im not finding many plurals 😄"

Yes, you can use 'Avocado' in text and then use an 's' from the title, series title, or author's name

I definitely like the mix and match we are allowed to

I'll do a kindle search for "yukon"

Can someone double check me?
