The only food I grew up eating that was passed down from the cultural traditions my ancestors came from, to my knowledge, is what we still call “Pépère’s stuffing,” which is basically tourtière without the pie shell. My Pépère made it, my dad made it, and I’ve made it now for many years. 1/

It's arrived—and it's gorgeous.
I opened @merriam-webster.com's new Twelfth Collegiate at random, and the first word I came across was the second, verbal sense of "load."
Huzzah!
This spread also showcases some delights, like the illustrations and word lists.

‘Man cave’ is such an unappealing term for a variety of reasons, but included among them has to be the suggestion of guano.
