Puzzle #557-SOLVED

[Pinot's Mom]

Puzzle #557 - I said Saturday Morning and I JUST made it!! :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

These are the rules:

* 1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

* 2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

* 3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

* 4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

* 5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

* 6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk Private message. (This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts). DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

* 7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

* 8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

* 9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.

(Should you win the game and are unable to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Now, if I may, I'll tell you how this came about. The other day, I had two tasks; one, a puzzle no one could look up, and, two, I needed two recipes for New Orleans dishes for a themed dinner this past weekend. I went to an old friend, a cookbook that was my mother's, of New Orleans restaurant recipes. My mother had a habit of sticking pertinent articles of note in books as a reference; this was no exception. Out fell this article about Commander's Palace, a very famous New Orleans institution, which is the home of the jazz brunch. Many consider this a MUST stop when visiting there. Anyway, I took one look at this article, where and when it was from, and decided there was NO WAY it could be googled! :) I hope you enjoyed; thank you for indulging me. :)

...and we have a host....:0

Be looking for the next puzzle from Anne. Thanks for playing everyone! :)
