Word

I made some sweet potato bread yesterday with purple sweet potatoes.

I hoped for a darker hue, but this is okay.  It tastes kinda good, too.

The other day I was talking with someone about favorite words.  Even if you haven't thought about it too much, you probably have one.  Some of you/us may even keep lists of words we really like.  The words that are favorites of the person I was speaking with are favorites because of their meanings. My favorites, in contrast, are based on sound, how fun they are to say.  One of her favorites is "intrigue(s)," because of what it implies and shows about people.

My favorite word is "chthonic."  (I'm not having any luck linking to a sound file on how to say it, so you're on your own should you be interested.)  First of all, it looks SO cool.  And it sits on and rolls off the tongue in such a fun way.

Other favorites:
