Find words related to C O O K

Question

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym related to the word –

C O O K (verbo, sustantivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word.

Example:

I can’t come to the phone, I’m cooking.

No me puedo poner, estoy haciendo la comida.

These potatoes aren’t cooked.

Las patatas no están hechas.

Pictures are a good idea. (but I can't post any just now - photobucket has stopped working on my PC)

This link might help you find some ideas

Don't forget the verb "to cook" to prepare food, usually using heat

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM. In the meantime, please help each other as you are able.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English ?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me.

This was the previous challenge.

Answer 1

Unusual usage

Cook the books

Amañar las cuentas

A algunas empresas les gusta contratar a contadores que están dispuestos a amañar las cuentas.

Some companies like to hire accountants that are willing to cook the books.

The accountants are the only ones that know the true state of a company. :) - ian-hill, Feb 3, 2015

I have a sister who is an accountant, but I think she is an honest one. ;) - bosquederoble, Feb 3, 2015

Answer 2

En los Esatdos Unidos la palabra 'cookie' quiere decir 'galleta' mientras que donde vivo 'cooky' quiere decir 'extraño' o 'loco' y una 'galleta' es un 'biscuit'...

In America the word 'cookie' means a sweet baked treat while where I live 'cooky' means 'odd' or 'crazy' and a sweet baked treat is called a 'biscuit'...

But that's just the way the cookie crumbles...

¡ Pero qué se le va a hacer !

Interesting, in the US it's cookie and kooky pronounced slighty different. - 00551866, Feb 3, 2015

I think the spellings are both correct alternatives like 'curb' & 'kerb' for the edge of a pavement/sidewalk... - Faldaesque, Feb 3, 2015
