Some good stuff. I personally prefer tiramisu alla milanese (with ladyfinger pastries making up the body) as compared to the normal style.

Now how did you know that I use ladyfingers when I make tiramisu? Has Kaber been giving away my dessert making secrets again?
Today's word is: Perspicacious

Haha. I hate answering a word of the day so early in the day (not giving others a chance), but that would take away a chance to show off my immense wisdom through my perpicaciousness.
As for the ladyfingers, that's the way northern Italians make it (specifically, those from Milan). All other Italians make it with a creme-based body.

HONORIFICABILITUDINITATIBUS
With honour.
We are in the arena of sesquipedalian words—those a foot and a half long, whose prime characteristic is their length rather than their sense or value. Any word used by James Joyce (in Ulysses) and William Shakespeare (in Love’s Labour Lost) can’t be entirely dismissed from the canon of English, even though the former borrowed it from the latter, who in turn borrowed it from Latin. The only other person who seems to have used it, ever, was John Taylor, a Thames waterman known as the Water Poet, in the middle of the seventeenth century. Shakespeare’s wondrous creation appears in Act 5, Scene 1: I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word; for thou art not so long by the head as honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier swallowed than a flap-dragon. (Somebody’s now sure to ask me about flap-dragon. It was the name given to a game in which the players snatched raisins out of a dish of burning brandy and extinguished them in their mouths before eating them. By extension, it was the burning raisins used in the game.) An anagram of honorificabilitudinitatibus is Hi ludi, F. Baconis nati, tuiti orbi. In English, this says: “These plays, F. Bacon’s offspring, are preserved for the world”. This little gem of misapplied cryptography was presented by Sir Edwin Lawrence-Durning in 1910 in his book Bacon is Shakespeare as a hidden message left by Francis Bacon, who (as some are convinced) actually wrote the plays usually said to be by Shakespeare. This is all nonsense, of course—as every schoolboy knows, they were really written by Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford. But the same set of letters, tested in the common tongue, makes up Inhibit in fabulous, idiotic art, Inhabit furious libido in attic, Habitual if ionic distribution, and Hi! fabulous tit in idiotic brain. What would Sir Edwin have made of all these?
