Not long ago someone suggested to me that I should turn off the ability to leave anonymous comments. I didn't and I won't and the reason is the anonymous comment I got yesterday that is still making me smile. I won't even make you follow a link. Here it is:

Isn't that the most wonderful comment? Festuche is a gift that just keeps on giving!Hi - just wanted to comment about your (three year old) entry about the origin about the word "festuche" - my mother (an IBM employee) used it when talking to me last weekend while I was home visiting, and caused quite a dinner table discussion. We broke out the OED and couldn't find it there, and my little brother booted up the computer and tried dictionary.com. Failing that, he googled the term. Imagine my surprise when the usually somber and sullen 22 year old burst out in hysterical laughter upon finding your story. It was good to hear him laugh, and makes for a great story.

I love that and I love that you took the time to tell me.
I spent many years in South Carolina - I don't miss the heat and humidity. I so very much miss the food!
