aldersprigI like other people's daily posts; why not try one myself?
Yesterday, we made Oops Soup for dinner:
"Oops!" When buying peppers at an Asian market, don't assume the banana peppers are sweet (two mouthfuls of yogurt and a gulp of milk to stop the burning)
"Oops!" Also, remember WHICH Asian market has the rice you want (the stuff we got is strange, good, but not what we wanted)
"Oops!" (from last week): plan a lunch BEFORE the 2-hour hike - we had chicken carcass for broth.
It turned into something like Thai chili soup with leek, carrots, onions, and a chicken broth. Tasty, and HOT.
Still not king. Err, still no date on the house-closing.
Funky links of the day: hide-away house and Zoom Room, a new take on hideabed.
And back to vocab:
ad·um·brate [a-duhm-breyt, ad-uhm-breyt] Show IPA
verb (used with object), -brat·ed, -brat·ing.
1. to produce a faint image or resemblance of; to outline or sketch.
2. to foreshadow; prefigure.
3. to darken or conceal partially; overshadow.
Origin:
1575–85; < Latin adumbrātus shaded (past participle of adumbrāre ), equivalent to ad- ad- + umbr ( a ) shade, shadow + -ātus -ate1
Related forms

For this, I present Shahin from Addergoole at about twelve:
"It's not precognition," a young Shahin insisted quietly. "All it does is give me vague ideas and bad dreams, adumbrate the future. That's it."
"Adumbrate?" Her aunt lifted an eyebrow, and the petite girl flushed.
"It's the proper word, Shadowy, faint, concealing. Right?"
