Puzzle #594 - SOLVED!

Puzzle #594

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)

Pinot had a suggestion to make this a puzzle with a purpose - I think she's right! ;)

"Puzzl with a purpose?" Now, that's intriguing.

Okay - I'll take a "T".

Dang, she guessed my T, no tea with Pinot for me, I guess! Pinot, may I have an S, please?

Sorry, Mayor Karen - I'm sure Pinot would still enjoy a pot!!!

I'll take H with that tea, please.

Aww, thanks, I'll make some catnip tea - would Bibette and Lulu like to share some with Pinot? ;) And I'll make a pot of chai for the humans if anyone wants to share as well ...

Sent my guess, though his last name is a total guess!

Karen has guessed correctly!

Here's the puzzle:

Dutch Oven Apples

Wash and core six or eight large apples. Fill holes
with sugar, raisins and butter pat, plus cinnamon if
desired. Put apples on a greased pie tin with a small
amount of water. Place tin in oven on legs made of
pebbles or bottle caps to prevent scorching. Cover and
bake for about thirty minutes.

Pinot thought it would be nice if the puzzle produced food - hence the purpose! ;)

Karen has deferred to Mrspunkysmom, who had the highest point total; I assume this was already discussed.

The book this came from is "The Old Fashioned Dutch Oven Cookbook" - it's really got some fun quotes and old time recipes in it. I bought it for my husband, who goes winter camping with a group of guys who all have big dutch ovens and use them on this trip. They eat very well.:D

Thanks y'all for playing! See you next puzzle! :)
