Thoughts - Cold Pasta Bake

jackPasta bake, clingfilmed and fridged, is still good the next day. In fact, very good -- I don't know about anyone else, but I do like my cooking, which is exceptionally staggeringly serendipitous. (I should cook it every weekend and eat it up through the week.)
Speaking of "serendipitous," how do people cope when they don't have a university sponsored subscription to OED.com? Do you pay cahs£money for a dictionary? Just muddle through guessing which vowels are which?
Speaking of which, finally another word of a day that's interesing. "Callipygous" means "having beautifully proportioned buttocks"; I intended to use it when buying peaches.
The other one I like if "lucubrate." As I've said before, I find it absurd that 'lucubrate' being just one word, can translate as working hard, pedanticly, pretentiously, perspiringly, or not, by night or candlelight!
