Today's words

eupeptic \yoo-PEP-tik\ - 1. of, relating to, or having good digestion  2. cheerful, optimistic
I think I may have heard this word before, but I definitely knew the first definition when I looked at the word, and the second makes sense in light of the first. 
rouille \ROO-ee\ - a peppery garlic sauce
Those who would give the French grief for their unimaginative sauce names (this one named for its rust color; named for its brown color) ought not take too much pride in a white sauce or a brown gravy.
