Made-up word of the day: reat

Elaine made it up, but she’s left it to me to write up:

reat \ˈrēt\ verb
reat \ˈret\ ; reating \ˈrē-tiŋ\

intransitive verb
1 : to read while eating
2 : to eat while reading
     | We like to reat at the breakfast table.

I think words that describe common practices are useful. This fits the bill.
