I’m just hoping that when the Food of the Gods Feud I wrote comes up, hopefully next week, that I can do better than I’ve been doing lately. It would be embarrassing to do badly in one’s own feud. ---

There is a big backlog of Feuds. I send Dolo a feud idea on 10/18 and it is still in the queue. I think it is coming up this week though.😃 Thanks Dolo, you are doing your usual outstanding job.🆒 ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > Any one named Baker should have an advantage in food. It’s not just my username, but my profession! I took the feud name from the botanical name for the tree that produces the cocoa pod. It’s _theobroma cacao_, and theobroma is Greek for “food of the gods”. So it’s pretty obvious the feud is about chocolate, a subject near and dear to my heart!😛 ---

Not implying anything. My wife is a chocoholic. Her weight problems are not caused by that though. ---
