Amusing choice of words. :)

In case it was a slip-up, the pedagogical side of me wants to point out:

You can marinate _in_ something (to soak in a marinade) or you can  
_ruminate_ on something (to think deeply about, to 'chew over').

(Ruminants are animals [like cows] that eat food and later bring it  
back up from their stomach into their mouths to chew. The word is  
based on the Latin word for "to chew over again"; it is from this  
that our modern usage of the word 'ruminate' is derived. Chewing on  
something for a long period of time, staring out into space...he must  
be lost in thought.)
