A word that rhymes with 'dessicated.'

Another 'foodie' offering from Crambo.

Is it in the formation of a mosaic?

As things are worked out (?) or fated (?),
Some things are not actually __ __ __ __ __ __;
Theyʻre just implied;
so, am I asking
(without multi-tasking)
For a free ride
Onto the Cram-
bo! Word? I suppose I am!

Not tessellated, stated or any form of stated.

Is it starved of flesh?

Not emaciated, if that is the word, but you are right that it is an adjective.

Sorry, hadn't noticed the foodie clue in #1:

Does it pertain to the treatment of saturated fat?

Is it "-ated" with a chemical
element, the most common in human physiology?

It isn't hydrogenated and I'm still working on starbox's clue!

The guess in #8 wasn't "hydrogenated";
I don't know enough chemistry to
know what that would be like. 8 was
more a word in everyday use - -
applied not to solid foods but to beverages.

Still trying to work out the most common element in human physiology. I thought it was water so oxygenated is wrong - and not in everyday use. I wish I could think of what to do with saturated fat apart from dissolving it. Maybe there are too many options. If I can get these two guesses I'll give another clue!

Why is this taking so long? I've __(1)__ and __(2)__. but I just feel __(3)__ and __(4)__.

Sorry, my clue was 'hydrogenated'.

Did you soak the food in liquid to soften it?

Not tessellated, stated,emaciated,hydrogenated or marinated. Louminous - this couldn't happen to you unless you were in a horror movie. It is still following the foodie theme. Sorry if you are irritated and frustrated.I'll come back to the others.

Sorry about the senior moment; I completely forgot we were on a foodie theme. Although (1) or (2) could fit if you are of a bovine sort.

Are (1) and (2) adjectives?

>>17 oldstick: As used in >>12 louminus:, 16 they are verbs, past tense.
Clarification: In >>16 louminus:, I refer to a single word, which could be placed in either (1) or (2). I.e. exact word order is immaterial.

#14 I was thinking of macerated, but marinated also fits the clue!

See #6 adjectives only required and, before anyone suggests it , it is not 'decimated.'

Not enough cooks playing this game. Guess I'd better go back to using my computer for writing!
Actually, not many people on my groups at all. Maybe it's because it is summer. I'll keep putting books I have read on here but for anyone still playing Crambo - there's a sweet answer.
Bye for now.J.

I've been chewing on this word for weeks, and I'm ready to spit it out!

You wouldn't have to - it's easy to digest.

To recap - not tesselated, stated, emaciated, hydrogenated, marinated, macerated, decimated or masticated. My children's children would have worked it out by now.

A cooking term that's become street slang meaning to be drunk and high at the same time

do your grandkids drink lots of soda?

26 sounds like it = 8, which I havenʻt seen in the "NOTS" yet.

Welcome back - not inebriated, and I'm working on the other clues - but it is not liquid.

>28 oldstick: I may have been but my guess wasn't inebriated. Something you might do with a turkey.

>27 rolandperkins: You're right, Roland. I just looked at the not list, plus the reference to grandchildren. We are X-based life forms, aren't we?

You could only do this with the bones. I'm a hopeless guesser, aren't I - but then I do it all from memory and it is getting worse with age. I'm no scientist but chlorinated and irradiated are also wrong.

Seems we have ground to a halt. I'm off line for a week or two. Maybe someone will have guessed it by the time I return.

I would never have imagined that a word we see in our supermarkets every week could be so difficult to guess - maybe it is not in common use in the USA?
I'll cast around for a different clue.

Thereʻs still one ending in
"_ated" that hasnʻt been guessed. But I wouldnʻt expect it to be seen much
in a U. S. supermarket, as itʻs usually said/written unfavorably, or at best, neutrally.

Intoxicated?

#8 and (I think) 26 are not
"intoxicated".

carbonated?

Yes, "carbonated" is right for the guess of #8 and (I think) 26.

Now be a sweetheart and find the right answer. This has gone on long enough!
10 letters.

Hmmmm... what happens in your supermarkets every week? The only thing that comes to mind is various sales. Or is it just that you tend to go every week?

I haven't been able to make anything of "cast around"; not sure if that was intended as an oblique hint.

Right -all clues- gran, sweet, ground, cast - now say you can't work it out!

Of the Syllables:

"My FIRST is "Grandmother"-for-short;
my SECOND is ʻyou will",(contraction); (--2 letters --)
my THIRD is "consumed"
my FOURTH is "Edward, Edmund, or
Edwin", familiarly ?

About time , too. Don't you have granulated sugar in America?

". . . granulated sugar in
America?"

Yes. And thatʻs about the only place we see the word - - on a sugar box. Back when
we had (and for a some decades were run by) the sugar industry, it
was notorious that the retail price of sugar was always greater than on the U. S. mainland.
