dight - verb - to make something ready for use (Lexico.com)
Dight is the kind of rarely used verb that could just come in handy, especially if you like to cook. Very few people on the planet have never dighted a meal. In fact, during the dark days of the pandemic, there were probably more individuals open to opening recipes on-line, or God forbid, opening cook books to find creative ideas for dighting new and different dishes.
Last night, an ex-beau of mine who is now one of the five or six members of Platonic Anonymous (my "club" of single, currently celibate men) in good standing, dighted a delicious barbecue for me. Maybe I'm stereotyping here, but you gentlemen sure know how to dight a grill and succeed in conjuring up some edible magic. There isn't a member of Platonic Anonymous who doesn't know how to utilize those long-stemmed utensils as if they were wands or Excalibur in preparation for a charcoal broiled dinner. I, for one, appreciate all of you, men, women or otherwise, out there who are blessed with this kind of talent. Personally, gas grilling is not my thing as I am afraid I'll blow up half of the neighborhood. Dighting explosives has never appealed to me.
Of course, dighting anything safely should not be confided to the kitchen or deck or patio area. You can make just about anything ready for use. What will you dight this weekend?
Enjoy!
