I like playing with words. I like the way they sound when they roll over and refuse to sit still. I like the way the letters' pudgy bellies line up with their gangly, stick-straight legs. Today I tossed some adjectives and nouns together in a syntax salad when I wrote the bulletin announcement for our next church potluck.
Then later today, I saw a definition float by in my Twitter feed. From Foodimentary.com
Cooks term - Coddle: To cook in water at just below the boiling point. Usually eggs.
I immediately thought of another use for this word and couldn't help but dashing off this version:
Parents' term - Coddle: To bathe in sweetness at just below the spoiling point. Usually children.
Jason's Deli (my new friend) is looking for a name for their committee on products and concepts. I suggested The Good Taste Buds.
When I first went to college, I majored in a combination of home-ec and journalism so that I could write about (among other things) food. Isn't it funny the way life turns out?

Thanks for the smiles this morning, R!
It seems to be all the rage right now to have a book with lots of food in it. I'm not complaining!
Since you like words, I have a new one for you. I heard someone say "insinuendo" the other day. You have to give him credit for creativity!
Thanks for coming through with the bulletin announcement. It is fabulous! Woo hoo!!!!
