Pot Full of Salad.

For dinner tonight I ate a pot full of salad and a cup of soup.

I like to mix the salad together in the pot and then it always seems silly to remove the salad from the pot and put it into a bowl, thereby dirtying up yet another container. So I just eat it out of the pot.

I do this with chips and things at parties too. I just don’t see the point in owning special party bowls for chips and whatnot when I already I already have these pots and things.

I got soup at the store because I’m getting kind of sick, but I got the wrong sort, I think. I got a nice thick and creamy potato soup when I probably should have gotten a good broth-y soup. Obviously I am bad at life. But you already knew that, because you have read this post.

Past Participle of Eat.

Have you ever been making a list of thing you recently did and did not eat and suddenly been struck by the desire to know the precise definition of the word “eaten”?

Me too!

Here is the one that comes up on Google and the only reason I am bothering to put it up here is because I really thought that it was dead on. So well-written of a definition that there is really very little I could do but simply shrug and go, “Yep, that’s what that means.”

1.Eaten past participle of eat (Verb)
Verb: 1. Put (food) into the mouth and chew and swallow it: "he was eating a hot dog"; "she watched as he ate".

I like to believe that there is a man out there who is considered to be the greatest living writer of definitions. His coworkers and contemporaries secretly hate him. Women (albeit librarians and Sophomore English teachers) want him, and men (albeit librarians and Sophomore English teachers) want to be him. His reputation proceeds him. His services are unreasonably expensive. He only writes by quill and he always has a monocle in his vest pocket but never puts it on.

Anyway, I bet he is the one who wrote that. That’s just how good it is.

P.S.
It now dawns on me that the definition above does not actually use the word “eaten”, so perhaps he is not as good at his job as we all believed.
