Definition of Discover
discover -
1) a: to make known or visable
b: display
2) to obtain sight or knowledge of for the first time; find, to make a discovery.
syn ~ ascertain, determine, unearth, learn: discover presupposes exploration, investigation, or chance encounter and always implies the previous existene of what becomes known; ascertain implies effort to find the facts or the truth proceeding from awareness of ignorance or uncertainty; determine emphaszies the intent to establish the facts definitely or precisely; unearth implies bringing to light something forgotten or hidden; learn may imply acquring knowledge with little effort or conscious intention (as simply being told); it may imply study and practice, but usually does not stress active search.
The word discover goes back to Latin dis- and cooperire, meaning 'to remove the covering; completely uncover.' By 1553, it was used to mean 'seeing or gaining knowledge of something previously unknown' and 'finding out; bringing to light.' You discover ('uncover') something that is already there, something that has existed but is generally unknown - but you invent something that has never existed before.

Very cute! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteSue: Thanks! Happy Halloween to you ! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute is that!! Happy Halloween! ~wondering where are all the kids...I still have a big bowl of candy! :P
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween to you too, now that it's almost over. Your treats are cute and look tasty!
ReplyDeleteP.S. thanks for your insight into the macaron making process. Mine looked pretty close to your failed batch. I'll have to try your recipe because I would like to turn out a successful batch. Oh, and I'm not sure what it means to age the egg whites... you mean leave them out of the fridge?
Jenny: Thanks! I hope you had some kids show up. :)
ReplyDeleteJacque: Thanks! Yes, keep your egg whites out at room temp for 2-3 days, this will age them and the excess water will evaporate. Some people recommend keeping them uncovered, but I've covered them (because I'm always worried that I'll knock something into them or spill them) and they seem to work fine. Good luck with your next batch! :)
Magnifiques ! Wondeful ! Happy Halloween to you.
ReplyDeleteThey look so cute! Thanks for sharing :)
