[17:17] * TerryOBrien nudges ambush
[17:17] * Shiral wakes up Ambush by dropping down on him from a height
[17:17] <KK> My goodness, duchesses and court baronesses...
[17:17] * Tika waves
[17:17] <Olympia> <deflects the olives at Ambush>
[17:17] * Dan has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:17] * Dan sets mode: +o Dan
[17:17] <DeryniBot> The smell from Wrengl's kitchen draws Dan into the
chat.
[17:17] <Olympia> Yep it's us
[17:17] <Tika> ambush is sleeping, unfortunately...
[17:17] <Dan> Hi folks
[17:17] <Wrengl> hi dan
[17:17] <the_Bee> hi Dan
[17:17] <Bynw> its Dan in the early evening?
[17:17] <Shiral> hi dan
[17:17] <Bynw> thats unusual
[17:17] <Dan> Hi... I'm a "batchelor" today.
[17:17] <Wrengl> ambush will probably eat them olympia
[17:17] * JastaElf waves and checks her pearls
[17:17] <RainbowDragon> Dan is here for KK chat!
[17:17] * Shiral is a commoner
[17:17] * Dan chears...
[17:18] <Dan> Paints drying too...
[17:18] * Wrengl would be a commoner if ever got to an event
[17:18] * Dan is being a good boy.
[17:18] <RainbowDragon> How was your week, KK?
[17:18] <Olympia> Hey Katherine... bunches o' peeps say hi - Terry,
Sherry, Pat, Robear, Gabrielle, Jared -- we were at a party last night
at John & Bjo's
[17:18] <KK> More of the same--except for the knee adventure with
Oswald.
[17:18] <the_Bee> ?
[17:18] <RainbowDragon> knee adventure?
[17:18] <Olympia> I told them about Oswald (Terry had to do the kg
conversion for us, of course, 'cuz we don't do that kinda math)
[17:18] <KK> Took Mr. O to the vet to have his toenails clipped.
[17:19] <KK> He tried to commit hari kiri from the stainess steel vet's
table.
[17:19] <TerryOBrien> Tried to fly, did he?
[17:19] <KK> I tried to brace him. He won, my knee lost--but only a
sprain, and it's mostly better now.
[17:19] <KK> 2.2 lbs to a kilo.
[17:19] <Wrengl> good
[17:19] <Shiral> Well, good. It sounded painful
[17:19] <the_Bee> flying is kamikaze. Harakiri is knives
[17:20] <Shiral> Not to mention inconvenient
[17:20] <TerryOBrien> Same result
[17:20] <Wrengl> yup
[17:20] <KK> It was painful. So much for trying to protect our bionic
investment--but at least I succeeded in that.
[17:20] <KK> Not that we yet know where we'll be living next....
[17:20] <Olympia> <sending thought waves....>
[17:20] <the_Bee> still hoping for your castle?
[17:20] <RainbowDragon> so the place is officially sold now?
[17:21] * Dan quietly suggests Earth as a place to live.
[17:21] <KK> Place is sold--sale should close early this week.
[17:21] <Shiral> Now I'm going to be thinking of Oswald as "The Bionic
Dog" ever after.
[17:21] <Wrengl> lol
[17:21] <KK> Well, he does have two bionic legs, so I suppose that
qualifies.
[17:21] <the_Bee> which two?
[17:21] <Wrengl> what are you painting dan?
[17:21] <KK> front
[17:22] <Shiral> Half a Bionic Dog, at least
[17:22] <the_Bee> what happened to him?
[17:22] <Dan> Walls Wrengl.
[17:22] <KK> At least
[17:22] <Wrengl> i am painting an identifying device on our suitcases
[17:22] <KK> When do you leave for Alaska?
[17:22] <Wrengl> thought i was doing emlyn's device from the novel --
turns out i have done the derry device!
[17:22] <Dan> Alaska is Awe enspriing.
[17:22] <Wrengl> we fly to seattle a week from tomorrow
[17:23] <natlog> hi dan -- been a long time
[17:23] <KK> Woo-hoo!
[17:23] <Shiral> "Derry, Bring our bags won't you? There's a good
chap.."
[17:23] * Bynw notes that he will be running a Deryni Adventure Game
online starting tomorrow night ....
[17:23] <natlog> hi shiral and KK
[17:23] <Shiral> Hi Natlog

[17:24] <KK> Are you going to do a tour of underground Seattle?
[17:24] <JastaElf> Wow! That's some amazing golf!!
[17:24] <Wrengl> of course there are probably nolans living there
anyway -- nolans seem to live or have lived just about everywhere in
ireland
[17:24] <Bynw> that is an awsome tour ... highly recommended
[17:24] * Bynw has been on it
[17:25] <Dan> Which one did you do Bynw?
[17:25] <KK> Scott first went on it when he was a boy, with his dad,
before there were official tours.
[17:25] <RainbowDragon> Bee, the game will be on this server in
#The_11_Kingdoms
[17:25] <Wrengl> well we are going to do the space needle, the sf
museum, pike street market and the tillman (sp) indian village
[17:25] <the_Bee> I've read about the underground city. How did it get
underground?
[17:25] <Bynw> the underground tour ... there was only one
[17:25] <KK> They kept throwing sawdust into the streets, the street
level rose, so they built up.
[17:25] <Dan> Ahhh. Thought you were referring to Alaska...
[17:25] <Wrengl> then see how i am feeling, although i have told kathi
to not stay in the hotel if my get up and go does not get up on a
particular day
[17:25] <Olympia> pike's market!!!!!!!!!! the place of sacred origin...
starbucks!
[17:25] <Shiral> I don't know about underground tours, you have to
spend so much time DIGGING
[17:25] <JastaElf> lol!
[17:26] <JastaElf> I love the market...
[17:26] <Bynw> i love seattle
[17:26] <Bynw> if i ever move out of iowa again it will be that
direction
[17:26] <KK> No digging; they built up.
[17:26] <Shiral> Seattle is nice
[17:26] <Olympia> me too - and tossing the fish - and there's a Russian
place next to starbucks with THE best pierogi
[17:26] <Wrengl> starbucks - yuck
[17:26] <Bynw> just south of seattle actually ...
[17:26] <Shiral> I know, I'm being silly
[17:26] <Olympia> Well what do you expect from a Yankees
fan???
[17:26] <JastaElf> lol!
[17:26] <the_Bee> What's the name of Chaarles De Lint's fictional city?
IIRC, that has an underground city too.
[17:27] <Wrengl> now THAT is something to remember
[17:27] <Olympia> LOL Melissa - that's what you hire people for - to do
the digging for you
[17:27] <Wrengl> we like pierogi
[17:27] <Wrengl> and i am planning to find someplace for sushi
[17:27] <Olympia> these are unabashed with butter pierogi
[17:27] * Shiral likes pierogi too
[17:27] <Wrengl> have not had sushi since before my chemo started
[17:27] <Olympia> roflmao "some" place for sushi! my dear pat, you will
be in seattle
[17:27] <Shiral> I ate an abashed pierogi once, there really wasn't
much point
[17:27] <Olympia> the fish leap out of the water and fillet themselves
for you!
[17:27] * Dan had sushi for dinner last night...
[17:27] <Wrengl> well i figure that coast should have it also
[17:28] <KK> Shouldn't be any problem. Yum, now I'm hungry for some.

[17:28] <Tika> 'cue... like BBQ??
[17:28] <RainbowDragon> I just ate and we had shells 'n cheese with
broccoli bits
[17:28] <Olympia> yep

[17:28] <Shiral> I wonder if there's a Barbecue Pierogi...
[17:28] <Tika> lol
[17:29] <Olympia> I don't like the place 'cuz it Texas 'cue (vinegar,
not sweet sauce)
[17:29] <the_Bee> a Russian version of shepherd's pie?
[17:29] <Olympia> Katherine, did you ever eat at the Bear Pit on
Sepulveda
[17:29] <Bynw> blah! broccoli is ... nasty icky gross stuff

potato and BUTTER

liked the stuff.
[17:29] * Bynw goes for the filet mingon at Wrengl's

match. Once. Done!

[17:30] <Olympia> yes with hot mustard
[17:30] <Olympia> broccoli is awesome!
[17:30] <Shiral> You mean you can't cook them just through carrying
them through a hot kitchen?
[17:30] <Wrengl> well a little more cooked for me but not much, nancy
[17:30] * Dan notes that tempura'd broccoli is good too...
[17:31] <Wrengl> yes it is dan
[17:31] <Mistyck> hi all
[17:31] <Olympia> Yes, Melissa. Sounds perfect. Re broccoli, saute
garlic and butter, then put in broccoli and more butter. Then raisins.
Not kidding. Wonderful
[17:31] <Wrengl> kathi likes her a bit more cooked, though
[17:31] <RainbowDragon> raisins?
[17:31] <the_Bee> "chase the steer past my table and I'll cut the piece
I want as he runs by.
[17:31] <natlog> hey mystick
[17:31] <Olympia> I like it where the vet could still cure it
[17:31] <Shiral> I like at LEAST five minutes in the pan for mine. =o)
[17:31] <Bynw> me too bee
[17:31] <Olympia> yes raisins - it's called Broccoli Calabrese
[17:31] <Mistyck> Wrengl, JastaElf and Olympia: I saw the Yankees/Bo
Sox rivalry thing going and I just had to pipe in: My team has someone
BOTH your teams wish they had! HAHA!!!
[17:32] <TerryOBrien> Why am I reminded of the Peter Davidson scene
from the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
[17:32] <the_Bee> long, SLOW cooked till fork tender is good, too.
[17:32] <Wrengl> oh
[17:32] <Olympia> for brisket, yes, Bee - with St. Louis or KC 'cue
[17:32] <Wrengl> other hunks of beef that way or lamb, bee

[17:32] * Kelos_al-Hazar has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:32] <DeryniBot> Kelos_al-Hazar enters the chat as RainbowDragon
passes around a plate of cheese.
[17:32] <Wrengl> never filet
[17:32] <Wrengl> hello kelos
[17:32] <Olympia> I have to agree with Pat
[17:32] <the_Bee> or braised short ribs
[17:32] <TerryOBrien> Hiya Kelos
[17:33] <the_Bee> hi kelos
[17:33] <Mistyck> hi Kelos
[17:33] <Wrengl> braised short ribs are good too
[17:33] <Olympia> ooo braised short ribs w/ bulgogi sauce
[17:33] <Olympia> yummmmmmmmmmmmmm
[17:33] <Wrengl> ? sauce
[17:33] <natlog> the other night we were suggesting new urgency for
getting a portal network going
[17:33] <Olympia> amen natlog amen
[17:33] <Shiral> Made by Bulgogi of course, Pat!
[17:33] <Wrengl> just think of all the food raids that would bring
about
[17:34] <Wrengl> lol shiral
[17:34] <natlog> I'm calling it the DDPN _deryni dinner portal network
-- any volunteers?
[17:34] <Olympia> never mind the food raids - just being able to talk
face to face
[17:34] <Dan> *blinks* Folks in a chat room have FACES. *Gasp*
[17:34] <Bynw> but the food raids would be good ... Wrengl is always
cooking up something yummy
[17:34] <TerryOBrien> we could talk face to face over dinner ... best
of both worlds
[17:34] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Darkover just a literal step away... that'd be
capital.
[17:34] <Shiral> With air travel getting less pleasant all the time, I
think we REALLY need a transfer portal network
[17:34] <Olympia> Jasta I lied - Weir is still in
[17:35] <RainbowDragon> what does bulldoggy sauce taste like?
[17:35] <Olympia> I have actually met a fair number of the peeps here
so I can attest - yes they have faces
[17:35] <Tika> rofl
[17:35] <TerryOBrien> it probably has a bite to it
[17:35] <Shiral> I'm so relieved, I have a face!
[17:35] <Olympia> LOL Bulkogi/bulgogi sauce is Korean - LOTS of garlic
[17:35] <Bynw> we havent seen it at darkover in a while though Shiral
[17:36] <Shiral> I'm cultivating an air of mystery, Bynw
[17:36] <Dan> I was wondering what the aroma was.
[17:36] <the_Bee> nowadays you'dspend more time at the airport than at
the con. (
[17:36] * Dan has a nephew in the Macy's parade this year, so yet
another year not getting down there.
[17:37] <Olympia> Isn't the parade on Thursday?
[17:37] <Wrengl> oh that sound yummy olympia
[17:37] <Dan> Yes, but we'll have lotsa "family" house guests for the
weekend Olympia.l
[17:37] <Olympia> We're having t'giving dinner in Maine, then hauling
ahem ourselves down to Manchester, NH and flying to Baltimore
[17:37] <Olympia> oops
[17:37] <Olympia> well actually we're flying out Fri am
[17:37] <Bynw> ok stop talking about food ... we havent eaten yet ...
and we are getting hungry
[17:38] <Olympia> Ahhh Dan, I understand.
[17:38] <Wrengl> lol bynw
[17:38] * Kelos_al-Hazar pours himself a stein of IBC root beer and
grins at Bynw...
[17:38] <Olympia> John's uncle is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a
brother in the Sacred Heart monastery in woonsocket, RI so we're going
for the celebratory mass.
[17:38] <Olympia> it should be amazing
[17:38] <Wrengl> we are doing thanksgiving in baltimore with friends
who are celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary
[17:38] <Olympia> (poor John - already he's saying, "Um, babe, are you
gonna cry through the whole thing???")
[17:39] <Dan> lol
[17:39] <Shiral> Woonsocket.. sounds like a town in a sci-fi novel =o)
[17:39] <TerryOBrien> Bynw is not the only one getting hungry
(hungrier)
[17:39] <JastaElf> I would....
[17:39] <Olympia> Katherine, Albra and I took John to the San
Buenaventura Mission in Oxnard... oh boy... as usually I couldn't stop
crying!!!
[17:39] <Tika> who could that be, Wrengl?
[17:39] * Kelos_al-Hazar has parents who celebrate their 50th wedding
anniversary in December...

[17:42] <Tika> yep yep
[17:42] <KK> We could do wedding cake....
[17:42] <Tika> I'm getting a top layer wedding cake for Thanksgiving

[17:43] <Tika> gonna try to get the same one we had at the weddding -

[17:43] <Tika> then of course there is Wrengl's shot in a slice
[17:43] <KK> No, we can't use wedding cake instead of wafers....
[17:43] <Olympia> sigh. u r no fun katherine. i would feel much more
religious about cake!
[17:43] <Olympia> with frosting
[17:43] <Olympia> heavenly angelic frosting
[17:44] <Dan> lol
[17:44] * Tika imagines a stern look heading in Olympia's general
direction
[17:44] <Tika>
[17:44] <Wrengl> i can remember a mass with rolls katherine, many years
ago
[17:44] * Dan wonders what cake in the face has to do with everything.
[17:44] <RainbowDragon> angel food cake?
[17:44] <Olympia> HEY, I'm Jewish. I'm allowed! We have BREAD at
service, not pastillage!
[17:44] <KK> Ah, but rolls are bread. I've got no problem with that.
[17:44] <Bynw> come on KK, you bless it and we call it good
[17:44] <KK> Hallah is good.
[17:45] <Dan> he he he.
[17:45] <Wrengl> well lets use challah rolls (they're sweet!)
[17:45] <Wrengl> tee hee
[17:45] <Olympia> and wedding brunch after services!
[17:45] <Olympia>
[17:45] <TerryOBrien> How about hot cross buns?
[17:45] <Dan> Chocolate bars - baked inside?
[17:45] <Olympia> with cake
[17:45] <Shiral> How about wafers AND wedding cake later?
[17:45] <Wrengl> unfortunately I could never get a challah to last that
long
[17:45] <Bynw> hot buns?
[17:45] <KK> We could use challah, I suppose.
[17:45] <Olympia> hee hee me neither Pat
[17:45] <Wrengl> hmm maybe i could freeze it
[17:45] * Bynw looks at tika and smiles
[17:45] <TerryOBrien> Not only are they appropriate, they're
traditional and period to boot.
[17:45] <Wrengl> from a real jewish bakery
[17:45] <Olympia> I'll bet we could find a bakery in the area that does
the special round challad
[17:45] * Tika gives Bynw a stern look
[17:45] <Wrengl> if i do not have them slice it, we could cut it on
sunday
[17:46] <Tika> ok a *nice* stern look
[17:46] <Bynw> she's so cute when she does that
[17:46] <the_Bee> hot buns? only if you sit on a red hot stove
[17:46] <Shiral> ow
[17:46] <KK> The only thing is, we could only use part of it--as much
as we were willing to consume. And it doesn't keep.
[17:46] <Shiral> A convention full of cake eaters should be able to
take care of at least SOME cake
[17:46] <Olympia> ok we can have Those Wafers and THEN we can have CAKE
[17:47] <Wrengl> lol
[17:47] <Olympia> I'll even be really nice and let John have my wafer
<grin>
[17:47] <Olympia> Aren't I a good wife?
[17:47] <Shiral> Bride and groom on top in Michaeline garb
[17:47] <Shiral> Such selflessness, Olympia =o)
[17:47] <Olympia> Actually, I'm so excited about the mass for his
uncle! I've never been to a monastery where the monks were still living
there.
[17:48] <Wrengl> well the rest of a loaf could always be consumed in
the pub with smoked salmon
[17:48] <Wrengl> especially if we bring it back with us from alaska
[17:48] <Wrengl> that should be extra exciting olympia
[17:49] <Olympia> Jasta, he did it. Unbelievable. I think it's a course
record
[17:49] <the_Bee> Whats' his final score?
[17:49] <RainbowDragon> not being silly here... I thought females at a
monastery was verboten
[17:49] <Olympia> Plus I think his uncle is going to do a special
blessing for us
[17:49] <Olympia> I'm waiting to see - RD, inside the church it's ok
[17:49] <RainbowDragon> ah
[17:50] <Wrengl> i think they allow women into the chapel for mass and
such
[17:50] <Shiral> But she can't pay any midnight visits to the brothers
in their dortoir
[17:50] <Olympia> The Brothers of the Sacred Heart are a teaching
order. His uncle lived in London for 30 years
[17:50] <Olympia> as a headmaster
[17:50] <Shiral> Anyway, you think we're talking about the Custodes
Fidei?

[17:54] <ambush> woohoo
[17:54] <ambush> go tiger
[17:54] <KK> I keep getting interrupted. Actually, we've got a guest
in from Vienna, so I probably ought to go.
[17:54] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Question for the "craft"y here... is it
possible to create a ring that is four metals (i.e.: like a Trinity
ring, except four instead of three)? Also, how difficult is it to do
what is necessary to make a ring out of (say) copper?
[17:54] <Wrengl> good night katherine
[17:54] <Dan> Oooo. I want to visit Vienna some day.
[17:54] <Wrengl> any word on the castle you wanted?
[17:54] <Dan> Night.
[17:54] <Shiral> bye, kk
[17:54] <RainbowDragon> a guest from Vienna!
[17:54] <TerryOBrien> Good night Katherine

[17:55] <the_Bee> have a good week, KK
[17:55] <ambush> nite kk
[17:55] <Olympia> Bye Katherine!
[17:55] <natlog> goodnite kk
[17:55] <Olympia> see you soon!!!
[17:55] * Kelos_al-Hazar has parents headed toward Vienna starting the
25th; river cruise...
[17:55] <KK> Doesn't look like we're going to get it. He really
doesn't want to sell. Of course, he <could> still change his mind....
[17:55] <Wrengl> copper would be fairly easy it is a very soft metal
[17:55] <the_Bee> a Viennese guest? I never sausage a thing!
[17:56] <Shiral> You need Camber to help out
[17:56] <Wrengl> you arre BAD bee
[17:56] <RainbowDragon> where will you stay then? I hope you won't have
to live out of boxes
[17:56] <KK> He's actually English/Welsh, but lives in Vienna.
[17:56] <Shiral> Close enough =o)
[17:56] <KK> I fear that almost everything will be in storage, at least
in the short term.
[17:56] <Olympia> (Vienna in Europe or Vienna, VA?)
[17:56] <Dan> lol
[17:56] <KK> Duh. Austria, of course.
[17:57] <Olympia> what duh??? sheesh. It COULD be Vienna, VA....
[17:57] <Dan> It's a whole lot closer to her than VA is ...
[17:57] <KK> If it were VA, would nearly be Jasta.
[17:57] <Shiral> Alas I must soon head out, myself
[17:57] <Olympia> and closer to US than say, Ireland!
[17:57] <Shiral> Back to the rockpile also known as the Ref Desk
[17:57] <Wrengl> night shiral
[17:57] <KK> Very true.
[17:57] * Kelric starts his next semester of library school in about a
week and a half

[17:57] <Shiral> Yuppers
[17:57] <Dan> :-)
[17:58] <KK> Is it cooler now, where you guys are? Or still having
heat waves?
[17:58] * Dan hints broadly.
[17:58] <Wrengl> a bit cooler here
[17:58] <Shiral> It's cool enough for comfort where I am
[17:58] <Dan> Less scortching KK
[17:58] <Olympia> another heat wave this coming week altho they
downgraded the temps from 108 Tuesday to 100
[17:58] <the_Bee> rainy today
[17:58] <Dan> I wouldn't use the term "cooler" though.
[17:58] <Wrengl> 80s instead of 90s or above
[17:58] <KK> Less hot, then.
[17:58] <Dan> :-)

am NOT coming out until Sunday when we go to Anaheim for brunch w/ Carl
[17:58] <Wrengl> wish we had gotten some of that rain, bee
[17:59] * Shiral waves, steps onto her portal and disappears in a cloud
of blue/violet steam
[17:59] <Olympia> 90s for us all week

[18:00] <KK> She's already left.
[18:00] <Olympia> I see posters for her son (?) all over the place -
hey Katherine, did she like the quilt book?
[18:00] * Dan read the last book she & Todd had out.
[18:00] <KK> Yep. And she's very proud of Todd.
[18:00] <Wrengl> i have not seen her since white dragon came out and
she did a tour including new york and we presented her with her copy of
the first ever, authorized, pern fanzine
[18:00] <KK> He seems to be a worthy successor to the franchise.
[18:00] <Olympia> Very cool, Pat.
[18:00] <Wrengl> i would have liked to see her again
[18:00] <Dan> He does.
[18:01] <Wrengl> i have not gotten any of the books he has written yet
[18:01] <Dan> You should.
[18:01] <Wrengl> we had the devil of a time convincing her to let us do
the zine
[18:01] <Wrengl> i intend to
[18:01] <Dan> At least, visit your local library...
[18:01] <TerryOBrien> Todd is the one who organized the shower of silly
string (ThreadFall!) for Anne at the NEbula Awards where Anne got the
GRandmaster award
[18:01] <natlog> i've got to run -- nite all
[18:01] <KK> I've just finished the last Harry Potter, and have started
one on the Swan King, Ludwig of Bavaria.
[18:01] <the_Bee> Is Todd's surname McCaffrey, or is that her maiden
name?
[18:01] <Olympia> OK time for me to do the disappear in sparkles

the chat.
[18:02] <Dan> Well - on the books, it's listed as Todd McCaffrey Bee
[18:02] <KK> That's her maiden name--and Todd took it officially; not
close to his father.

[18:02] <Dan> My daughter e-mailed Anne some questions once (cause she
grew up close to here) and got a wonderful reply back.
[18:02] <Wrengl> it was good
[18:03] <TerryOBrien> I need to go, too. Dinner is calling and I must
answer. Not to mention start a job that I need to get finished tonight
so I can hand it over to my producer tomorrow.
