I found an on-line Scrabble https://www.pogo.com/games/scrabble/play
which, once you sign up gives access to "all EA games" (as if!)

Yesterday was 55ºF. Currently it's 19ºF warming all the way to (predicted)
35ºF then back to the mid 50s by Sunday. Soon be bikini weather.

I'll rag on him via e-mail. I'm part of an informal e-mail list with the

4 1/2 tb Unsalted butter

few tablespoons of truffle aioli and build the sandwich
up from the bottom. Place a slice of cheese on each
slice of bread. Next, add jamón iberico to one slice of
bread and place the other piece of cheese and bread on
top to complete the sandwich.

tablespoons butter. Place bikini in pan and press
lightly for 30 seconds, release, and sear for 2 minutes.

and flip. Continue to sear until the bikini is
sufficiently hot and cheese in melted.

manchego mornay and top with sunny side up egg. Lightly
