"Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature." Tom Robbins

I learned two wonderful words this week. They are veridical and
entelechy.

Veridical (vuh-RID-i-kuhl) adjective
1. Truthful
2. Real; corresponding to facts; representing reality

Entelechy (en-TEL-uh-kee) noun
1. Perfect realization as opposed to a potentiality
2. In some philosophies, a vital force that propels one to self-fulfillment

The latter is something along the lines of my second- and third-favourite
words Inchoate and Inertia. They are words to describe an intangible state.
Everything you want to say in the moment before you say it.

Hey dude,
Which cookies are you planning on bringing to The Grange? I am going with the chewy choc gingerbread and probably another TBD.

It'll probably be this thing I haven't tried before, sort of like a shortbread cake. Just something sweet but plain so it won't screw with the Wine and Cheese.

Can't wait for your gingerbread though. It's an amazing recipe. If you want to shake it up try substituting the ginger for orange zest. I tried it once--with sexy results.
