Basset Hound -- this distinctive dog breed got its name in France, where it was developed in the early 1800s to hunt badgers and other game. The word "basset" derives from the French word bas, meaning "low", an apt term for such a low-slung hound.
pulpatoon 1.) A dish made of rabbits, fowl, et cetera, in a crust of forced (stuffed) meat.
--Walter Skeat's Glossary of Tudor and Stuart Words, 1914
2.) From Latin pulpamentum, tidbits.
--William Toone's Glossary of Obsolete and Uncommon Words, 1832
3.) To make a pulpaton of pigeons. . . half roast six or eight pigeons, and lay them in a curst of forc'd-meat. . . . Scrape a pound of veal, and two pounds of marrow, and beat it together in a stone mortar.
--Eliza Smith's Compleat Housewife, 1758
On this date in 1770, a huge Christmas pie was baked for holiday consumption in London. According to the Newcastle Chronicle, it was made of "two bushels of flour, twenty pounds of butter, four geese, two turkeys, two rabbits, four wild ducks, two woodcocks, six snipes, four partridges, two neats' tongues, two curlews, seven blackbirds, and six pigeons. . . . It was near nine feet in circumference at bottom, weigh[ed] about twelve stone, [and] will take two men to present it to table. It is nearly fitted with a case and four small wheels to facilitate its use to every guest that inclines to partake of it at table."

"Hakkai."
"Yes?"
Gojyo stuck his head out of the bedroom. "Why does the bedroom smell like sex?"
Hakkai smiled behind his book. "We did spend the night in there last night."
"Not what I meant. It smells like YOU, not ME."
"Ah." Hakkai waved his hand. "De minimis."
"De-wha?"
"De minimis. Not important."
Gojyo moved behind Hakkai and wrapped his arms around his lover. "Have you been cheating on me?" he teased.
"I don't know, Gojyo," Hakkai teased back, still reading. "Does your hand count as cheating?"
"Gods, you drive me crazy," Gojyo swore, burying his face into Hakkai's neck.
"I know," the brunette said with a smile, turning the page.
