Nutmeg has figured out how to turn nouns into adjectives by adding -ly. Of course, not having a wide range of conversational experience, she wields her new power indiscriminately.
(eating a bowl of spaghetti with sauce) "mushroomy!"
(eating a plate of spaghetti with salmon and butter) "buttery! salmony!"
(spilling milk on her muffin) "the muffin got all milkedy!"

Milkedy is my new favorite word. I will use it at Starbucks, where, as I add my half and half, I will exclaim, "My coffee is now all milkedy." And you know what? People will be jealous of my awesome coffee.
