Interlard

Interlard is a verb that means to embellish with different material. Stemming from a Latin word, the prefix I-N-T-E-R means ‘between’ or ‘among.’ The word ‘lard,’ although generally used as a noun to refer to excess fat, can also be a verb that means ‘to embellish with.’ When we interlard something, we embellish it with lots of different material. Tonight I’m going to interlard the casserole with all of this week’s leftovers. I hope everybody’s hungry for sausage, cabbage, waffles and applesauce.
