Hi John-Bryan: just read your bio for the site, and am wondering whether “foodimentay” is what you actually meant to say, knowing you seldom make mistakes. Here is the entire quote from your front page:
“Welcome to my blog. In 2005 I came up with this word, Foodimentay, then a blog by the same name. Food Holidays soon became my passion.
I celebrate food every day, it’s sustains us and forms who we are.
J.B.”
You win the prize. It’s been a running joke with my blogging friends. I have had that bio on my site for close to 2 years and no one has corrected me. Guess I will change it now. Thanks.
Let’s hope they are fresh peanuts. My father was nuts about finding fresh ones and a tribe/relatives network would be approached to source them.
