Teacork? I have never drunk tea out of a wine bottle, but then I am not well travelled...
I worked ahead with TEACAKE and came up with ACETATE but CROAKER also gets us finally out of the oven and onto some brit slang.
-A for CORKER
This word means both remarkable person and preposterous lie?

I once had tea in Cork,
there was no cork on the pot
their tea is thick as peat
you should drink it with a fork.

Branshea says that the cork of the tea:
Not the bottle but the place to be
That the tea was thick might be true
But on it could you set float your shoe?
-
The person to blame for this thread suddenly bursting into rhyme in an entirely unacceptable and ruthless manner is ............ Wofa. Tea corks are very inspirational.

CORKER

Yesterday was coquetry
a reason to write poetry
but doggerel - like my and your way -
Is poorly reimbursed in Norway.

Sorry: I often click on the "anagram stew" and go from where
it opens, instead of checking to see if there is a next page.
Mea culpa.

Love that woodpecker sound.

E to O PETALOID

To get the picture, copy-paste to you files, then upload to a image hosting service, then copy the Url they give and use the 4th from the left button of the menu. (Don't know if there is a shorter way, but you cannot upload directly from you files)
( except avatar images)

That's a toughie! Gotta go to the ends of the Earth for this one...

Did you know there is a genus of fungus called [B-->E] PERIOLA ?

Neither did I.

Apparently it comes from New Zealand, so I guess that's understandable on both our parts.

[whisper] What I do is go to Google Images, then copy the address of the one I want into the Enter an Image box here--it's the fourth icon from the left. Also, I have only ever used "Insert a non-floating image"--I'm kind of afraid of finding out what exactly a "floating image" is...
Oh, yes--I sometimes have difficulty finding an image small enough; IMHO they need to be pretty small so as not to overwhelm this place.[/whisper]

Hmm...I think that's exactly what I did. Oh, well. Can't win 'em all...

When I was in Venezuela fifty-odd years age I came across a children's toy called a PERINOLA. We played with it like a vertical yo-yo.

Here's one in the lower left-hand corner,

and see how to use it here .
