Word(s) of the Day

Congealed Salad---Now I know that the word "congeal" means to change from a liquid or soft state to a thick or solid state, but I don't think I ever heard the term "congealed salad" until today when a guest on a TV talk show said it was one of his favorite dishes.  Though it sounds revolting, turns out a congealed salad is any gelatin-based recipe from fruit to seafood. Familiarly known in these parts as a Jello salad. Congealed is a term used in the South. Oh, those Southerners...
