Today’s Word of the Day is: POSTPRANDIAL (adj) Happening or done after a meal.
A gourmand who zealously avoids all exercise as “seriously damaging to one’s health,” he had caviar for breakfast and was now having oysters for lunch, whetted with wine, as he fueled himself for a postprandial reading at the Montauk Club in Brooklyn.
–Mel Gussow, “The Man Who Put Horace Rumpole on the Case,” New York Times, April 12, 1995
