That's so unrealistic... She's too old for Leonardo

You and your family are and will be in my thoughts. I wish you all much strength the coming time

Heya guys, So two days ago I made a traditional Dutch side dish. We often eat it on the side with Christmas dinner for example, but i like it all year round. So it's made of a Dutch variety of pear that is made to stew. Those pears are a lot harder (kinda like they aren't ripe yet), so they don't fall into small bits when you stew them. So we had some of those pears left from the holidays, and I decided to make some stewed pears of my own based on how mom always made them.. aka with LOTS of red wine (NO water), cinnamon and sugar ^^ And then I just left it to simmer for four hours. Most people do that a lot less long, but from my experience this is the only way to let them really take up that wine, you can taste the difference. They taste great, even if I say so myself Oh and they can be a lot prettier when you just peel them, but leave the pears whole otherwise, but I always feel like the taste suffers from it with the wine not reaching the inside. Think something like this:

Just please leave chess alone (We're already full with Kramnik going on)

Yesss there we go! Congrats Marshall and welcome

I'm mostly salty that I'm never called a hacker...

Also, the pie looks amazing!

That looks like the book my mom had If so, there's an amazing recipe in there for spaghetti bolognese where you use wine and let the sauce simmer in it... that has been my favorite meal for kinda my entire life. It was the dinner I asked for on the last night before my surgery too. I remember a stone dove depicted on the picture with it? Maybe?

Not really, but let's say close enough? lol

Congrats guys, you played well!

Just stay on standby i would say. We're with 14 women in the end, and I don't think every guy will show up. Already two dropped out and I believe that Sour said somewhere that he wouldn't be able to join if it would be the 2nd? Some might have forgotten too.

Looks like you had a lot of fun

Maybe we'll do multiple rounds, cause we have too many guys now? Or flip a coin to decide who can join?

Be sure to play with your hardwired on I'll be joined by widow, so double the party

Who says they want me civil

I believe that Snuller said in the old post that she wouldn't join, but correct me if I'm wrong

Would personally love to play with non-XI members too Might also give us more female players, meaning that more male players could join as well

Very sad to see everything happening now I've definitely been keeping an eye on the news and on the website here, thinking about you all. I'm glad you got through tsw! How are other players in the area?

So I thought we were still missing some women and as for me, not on purpose, so i thought i would try to think of who we were missing. I also went through the active member and registered user list and whomever i recognized as women and played in the last 3 months, I added to this list. Im sure we still miss people (especially from cod5), but please still feel welcome and call out if we missed mentioning you here! So, who's in?: @WldPenguin@AusiGirl@LilMord @Majbasil@Rascal@Lady.@MHsDaughter @ShadowLady @Sally Cod5? @CrazyGirl @Lady Asylumn @Princess @blackcat Furthermore: @Dot80 cod4 and cod5 or which one? And who didn't respond yet: @Roxy! @Monika you were already mentioned, but wanna join? And I heard from Cheyenne that Cecilia might wanna join

Top of the leaderboard is just defrosting, no need for a fast reaction time there

I'm in if the date allows! @blackwidow how about you?

Thank you all!

We have plenty of people on SSRI's and have had no school shootings ever. This is our list of Mass shootings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mass_shootings_in_the_Netherlands For the people who don't want to click.. there have been three total. Granted two have been in cities where I lived at the time, so maybe it has something to do with me instead

Thanks! And I just found this on the web to also make the font smaller: cg_chatheight 0-8. 8 is default 0 is off 4 is half

There's something wrong with that last game. Check it yourself. Last game compared with a random game in the middle.. I can barely even see the name of who you killed or got killed by in that last game. Such a difference with the earlier ones
