I made bread, he said ryely.

What's the name for that construction? My brain says "Tom Swift" but I think those were juvy boys' adventure stories. Anyway, I made a very successful sourdough rye loaf yesterday. It rose and everything. It's more of a Jewish rye than a Russian black rye - I use caraway, black caraway, and black cumin seeds in combination, which give a nice rounded flavor I quite like.

"It is indeed a 'Tom Swifty'", he said bookishly.

That's a Tom Swifty, because of the over-use of adverbs with speaking tags in the novels. A general example is: "I had a hot dog for lunch," Tom said frankly.
