[es-pree de less-ka/-iay] (idiom) A witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations defines esprit de l'escalier as, "An untranslatable phrase, the meaning of which is that one only thinks on one's way downstairs of the smart retort one might have made in the drawing room."
I swear I'm still on a blogging break, but I had to show you these berries I just bought. Oh, HECK YES. And I got a bag of amazing local nectarines, too.
Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
