Word of the Week- 6

DRIZZLE

The weather is miserable today, the skies are grey and there is a little rain. It isn't really raining though, the water isn't falling that heavily, but we can say that it is drizzling or spitting.

The verb drizzle can also be used when we are talking about making and dressing a salad. In Spain it is very common to pour small quantities of olive oil on your salad. We can say that we drizzle oil over the salad, and on a morning Spanish people often drizzle oil on toasted bread.
