elev·ens·es
Pronunciation: \-vən-zəz\
Function: noun plural but sometimes singular in construction
Etymology: double plural of eleven (o'clock)
Date: circa 1819
British : light refreshment (as a snack) taken in the middle of the morning
Definition thanks to Merriam-Webster
The concept of elevenses is so civilized. Right around eleven o'clock we all get hungry. It's too early for lunch (although I have to admit I've eaten lunch before 10:30) and we still have things to accomplish to make the morning productive. So here's my piece of advice for the day: make elevenses part of your routine. Have a snack, check your email, and catch up on your blogs (mine included, of course!)
