Sentence: The cassarole that Teddy served was fantastic. Too bad he decided to keep the recipe as an omitstery and not tell me what the filling was made of. This really shows the level of his ingreedience.

Etymology: Omit+ mystery

COMMENTS:

Maybe Teddy left out 'soylent green' ("Soylent Green is people!"). Ingreedience is a good one too. - Tigger, 2007-11-25: 18:59:00

Sentence: Sally's piece de resistance at the end of a meal was her famous homemade ice cream. When guests begged for her recipe she always gave then the one with the alamodeification.

Perhaps you left 'Alamo' out of your etymology deliberately??? What a clever way to convey the failure of the alamodeification! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-26: 13:00:00

Pronunciation: SAB-uh-TIR-ah-M'-soo

Sentence: Roxie planned to impress Bob's new boss by cooking for him a meal fit for a god. But the evening quickly turned into a noshmare, when Roxie, following the recipe given to her by her best friend, added spam rather than ham to the dish. The anticipated ambrosia became in a minute a shambrosia, but worse was yet to come when she added freshly made toffee rather than strongly brewed coffee to the italian dessert, leaving Roxie to wonder whether she had been the victim of sabotiramisu or simply a case of her own shortsighted "cordon blur".

Etymology: SABOTIRAMISU: Blend of SABOTAGE: any undermining of a cause. & TIRAMISU : The name Tiramisu is Italian and means "pull-me-up" (Tirami su), a reference to the effects of the sugar and espresso, and can be translated figuratively as "pick-me-up" or in this case: "put-me-down". ShAMBROSIA n. blend of sham: trick, hoax, fraud & ambrosia: used of various foods for mortals since 1685. Cognate: shambrosiate vb.

Hahaha...NOSHMARE!....I initially thought the key was "sabot"...(a thrust-transmitting carrier that positions a missile in a gun barrel or launching tube and that prevents the escape of gas ahead of the missile) Eiter way, it's a great word, O-Bob. - metrohumanx, 2008-11-26: 14:24:00
