Just think, you can put virtually anything on a pizza and you can do it halves or even make personal mini-pizzas. We do it here all the time. So pizza is inherently a casserole plus a self-service buffet. ---

**~VOW** , I like the menu planning/bonding experience. I’ll have to do that. She’s on a grocery run right now. She said something about a Chicken/spaghetti casserole. Nooooooooppee. I remember that being mushy. I punched Mid-daughter in the thigh. She came through with Chicken and Dumplings suggestion. Whew, dodged that bullet! The chicken is already cooking. Everyone likes Chicken and Dumplings. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Are you talking about UpWords? That’s fun! No, that’s a separate game where you stack the tiles. Here’s an example in Scrabble: You need the letter O to make the word you want but you don’t have one, you only have an A. The word COT is already on the board. You replace the O in COT with the A that you don’t need, turning it into CAT – it just has to make a real word with each change. You can switch out as many letters as you want on each turn, or you can agree to only allow a certain number of switches per play. You now play your word normally. This is a good way to get a blank tile or a higher value letter tile. If multiple switches are allowed, you can even switch out every letter on your rack if you want. ---

This is a worthwhile thread. 🙂 I’m a pensioner, but friends have organised a rota to bring me my groceries. 🆒 (I may have slipped up slightly on the e-mail shopping list I sent out, since I now have 22 cans of soup :eek: - fortunately they last until 2022.) I’ve dome more Bank Transfers in the last few weeks than in the previous 60 years.😉 I’ve taught myself to cook scrambled eggs from an Internet video. (Not done much cooking before. :o) Stay safe. ---

**Glee** , happy to hear from you. Take care. Learn to make gravy. Get ‘Wondra’ flour and it’s easy peasy. ---
