Marinate vs Marinade

MarinADE is the goo you let the meat soak in. MarinATE is the act of letting it soak. You marinate meat in a marinade. It's really quite simple. The HUGE number of times these terms are reversed around here DRIVES ME NUTZ!

I know this post will accomplish nothing, but thanks for letting me vent.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    As long as you brought up confusing combos. Plate Setter VS. Place Setter.
    Plate setter is a pottery item for firing pottery and place setter is ??????

    You might want to get you a hall monitor sash to drape over your perfect shoulders before you log in from now on.

    LOL, coming from "Carolina Q" in Connecticut. B)

    Funny, I actually made that mistake last night while IM'ing with someone who is a trained Chef, who was kind enough not to point it out. I caught it and corrected myself. :)

    Remember when you point a finger at someone you have three pointing back at you. Please let me know what in my response led you to believe I was offended or worked up?

    So if I took some manaria and used it to marinate some meat, the meat would be marinating in a marinade and eventually be marinated.
