Word of the Day: Coruscate

. . . . .

coruscate \KOR-uh-skayt\, intransitive verb:

1. To give off or reflect bright beams or flashes of light; to sparkle.
2. To exhibit brilliant, sparkling technique or style.

. . . . .

This word always makes me smile, so I thought I’d share.

A friend told me recently about a novel she’d read which described people as stained glass windows, with a light shining out from within them. Such a wonderful image! May your internal light coruscate brightly today and bring joy and good cheer to those around you!

Obfuscate doesn’t make me as happy as coruscate. And you of all people should know – I’m hardly ever bored! :)

Wish I had, but I’m not that good! This was a photo from the public sample photos that came with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Dave. Nice to see you! :)

Recipe Attribution

David Lebovitz wrote one of the best articles I've read on recipe attribution, and if you're a blogger who posts recipes, it's well worth a look.

In a nutshell, the ingredients of a recipe are not subject to copyright, but the text is, so always make sure you re-write the methodology in your own words, with any changes and modifications you've made. And always make sure to acknowledge the original source!
