Slather is a really good word when you want lots of something, like marmalade or jam on your toast ... if you're dealing with someone who tends to be mingy with the spread!

That said, how come we slather only onto flat things ... you don't slather hot fudge on ice cream but you can slather whipped cream on the cake ... or slather paint on a wall.

Glad you're back with us Father Steve ... all moved in and settled?
