Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 28, 2024 is: flout FLOUT verb To flout something, such as a law or rule, is to treat it with contemptuous disregard. A teenager flouting a curfew, for example, will not hide the fact that they are out past the time they are required to be home. // The court found that the company had continued to flout the law despite multiple warnings. See the entry > Examples: "Bringing a queer sensibility and a deep understanding of Modern Orthodox Jewish tradition to novel writing, [Temim] Fruchter asks whether finding comfort in mystery is a viable alternative to standard happy endings or bleak fates. 'City of Laughter' argues that flouting convention makes space for more authentic, expansive stories and more authentic, expansive lives." — Lauren LeBlanc, The New York Times, 13 Jan. 2024 Did you know? If you flout a rule or societal norm, you ignore it without hiding what you're doing, or showing fear or shame; you flout it "out" in the open. The similar-sounding word flaunt is sometimes used in the same way, though that word's older and more common meaning is "to display ostentatiously," as in "people who flaunt their wealth." Critics have been objecting to the confusion of these two words since the early 1900s, but use of flaunt with the meaning "to treat with contemptuous disregard" is found in even polished, edited writing, and so that meaning is included in dictionaries as an established use of the word. Nonetheless, you may want to avoid it: there are still many who judge harshly those who (they feel) are flouting proper English usage.
This episode features a recipe developed by Lauren LeBlanc from Lauren From Scratch. Lauren is a Louisiana native, so when it comes to cajun flavor, she knows how to make it- but for those of us with kids (or our own) low heat tolerance, her cajun blackened shrimp is light on heat without being light on flavor. Anne talks through how to make this quick protein along with a few great ways to easily use it in a full meal like sandwiches or salads. The full printable recipe is linked above, but if you're making your grocery list here's what you'll need: Seafood: 1 pound shrimp (for ease, buy them already peeled and deveined) Dairy: Butter (about 2 tbsp) Seasonings: Paprika (1 tsp), Salt (1/2 tsp), Oregano (1/2 tsp), Onion Powder (1/4 tsp), Pepper (1/4 tsp), Ground Thyme (1/4 tsp) If you're listening to this when it first airs, happy Mardi Gras! Should you want to make a King Cake, Lauren has a great recipe for that as well. Get to know Lauren better on her Instagram

With her graphics designer and PR/Marketing background Fleurty Girl, her dream of New Orleans-inspired t-shirts for women with a woman’s body in mind, has become a reality.
