i have the pleasure of hosting and coming up with a mad minute word for today.
the idea of Mad Minute Words is we present a strange (and/or lovely) word to you, and you draw from it as inspiration for your photo... to keep it acceptably mad, we're doing two words a week, one presented on monday and another on friday.
your photo for today's word should be posted on wednesday, july 17th.
the word i have chosen for you is:
abligurition - (n) prodigal expense for food; spending lavishly on fine foods.
a search of the web, i found this from the website foodrepublic.com, "Abligurition simply means spending lavish amounts of money on fine foods. It comes from the latin verb abligurire, "ab" meaning "away" and "ligurire" meaning "to be fond of delicacies." Who needs clothes or gadgets when there's abligurition to keep us spending on foie gras, oysters and gourmet chocolate?"
please tag your entry mmw-abligurition
you may also post your entry on this thread, if you so wish.
I still don't understand it even with the definition. Ha! What on earth is a 'prodigal expense".....? One that runs away and then comes back begging forgiveness??
@tabbycat - 'prodigal' means "Spending money or resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant". He was called prodigal because that's what he did, not because of his return.
I should just post a new edit/reprocessed version of my still life feast table. Hee hee if I run out if time I might! Nah! I think I have an idea but it may not work out
@tabbycat - i've posted my reply to you twice and twice probably i forgot to hit "post reply" that's why it's not here. just to let you know i wasn't ignoring your comment. but i have edited the posting above to give a further explanation.
@hehe1308 - thank you for stepping up; much appreciated.
Not sure I'll get to this one as this week's budget (thanks to a $$$ hungry car on my trip to Michigan) has limited the food budget and I will not be able to give into any form of abligurition this week. At least I used it in a sentence!
@tabbycat - 'tis okay. everything you missed or forgot or didn't pay attention to in school, you encounter everything here on 365 and you make up for it. :-)
@gozoinklings - shoot first. as my partner always tells me, the ony thing that gets in the way of my photography is food.
@espyetta - you can, i don't think the post required is time sensitive, just have to be posted on the wednesday, so by all means, regale us with your etsooi. show us!
@valpak - i've corrected the word listing so i believe it is now complete. your tag is actually in the last line as you can see. if it's any consolation to you and to some others, i sometimes do not get the notification even though my tag is right there in the middle of the list. but i'm always on the lookout for the crazy word prompts. hard to get rid of me. in fact i didn't get notification about this one but maybe because i sent it myself.
@summerfield I'd vanish if I turned sideways :( No, not on a diet, but there's an event I'm going to in about a month that would fit this word perfectly.
@summerfield nah! I shot another pic today just for this! I cannot remember this word to,save my life! I will post the pics soon, but having some issues with another pic and want to post all 3 at same time...I should get it up before it turns to Thursday!
@summerfield Thanks for adding my word. And thanks again for the heads up on it. I see my name, no longer feel like the last one picked for dodge ball ;-) I've only done a couple of these but they are quite fun and challenging.
@Cheesebiscuit - a cruise buffet?!?!?! ahhh, lobsters... prawns... crayfish...mahi-mahi...tuna... smoked salmon... and all those sinfully delicious desserts... aherm! i'm sorry you wouldn't get on the trip, however, you know that the next is always the best. ahhh...lobsters...
@Cheesebiscuit - ooops, sorry about that, i got carried away. as my partner always tells me, the only thing that gets in the way of my photography is food. drat, what do i serve you then when you get invited over?
