Stimulating the Palate

Jackpot (wow)
Bacteria (I feel negative about this one)
alongside (is that all one word or alloneword?)
trundle (buggy)
embryonic (I've heard a couple of birth stories recently so, yes, this, but this whole year of reading can be described using this word too)

Ration (ways in which we stand in our own way:( )
Kinship ( I read three chapters of Georgio Agamben's The Open today and suggest that his question "But what becomes of the animality of man in posthistory?" is apt here)
chase (verb or noun?)
caster (please check spelling or OED - wow, it's a variant spelling of 'castor' which is a wheel on a chair or table or a container with small holes in the top of it - like a salt shaker or a sugar shaker, thus, 'castor/caster sugar')
willpower (some have a hard time with the 'castor/caster sugar')

incubator (all of the babies I know born recently have been big and healthy - no need for this - but my ideas are, on the other, in need of one right now... perhaps)
greediness (wanting too much)
water (wow - I think I can brainstorm on that one quite considerably)
tetralogy (4?- 'who does that?' and 'why not'?)
bigot (remember: the open)
