Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Logophile that I am, I'm d to the Word Of The Day from dictionary.com. Many I already know, but they still make good refreshers. Today's word was "friable," which means "easily crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder." What does this have to do with anything? Well, with all the recent talk of smoothies and freezing greens, the first sentence that flashed across my mind as a use of this word was "You freeze kale to make it more friable." OK, call me a geek. LOL. -Erinhttp://www.dogmafreeraw.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've contributed 25,300 grains of rice (29,000 makes a full pound according to my research) in the new year!!
