Hopefully the other two definitions will give you ideas.

Lanelle, do you think that would work?

#20 surety - 1) state of being sure 2) one liable for the debt or default of another 3) a sponsor - book I'm sure I'll love; character dealing with debt or economics

I'll go with - I know I won't love it, but it will be fun and enjoyable enough. Additionally she's always struggling with her finances - not really in debt but on the brink of.

Thank you Lanelle. We didn't use paprika that much in our family but if you get there look if they have bigos - it's one of the most famous polish dishes made of Sauerkraut and meat.

I looked up 'bigos'. Here in the US, it's known as Hunter's Stew. It looks good. I'll have to try making it when the weather cools down.
