I say “to-mah-to,” she says “I-hate-you,” let’s call the whole thing off
As regular readers (or perhaps more accurately, reader, singular) of this blog might infer, I’m a foodie as well as a wordie. A barbecue-competition judge for nearly 20 years, a man who once built a house that a friend described as a “three-bedroom kitchen,” and the self-promoting author of The Grill of Victory: Hot Competition on the Barbecue Circuit
On this National Punctuation Day Eve, can there be any better folding in (cooking technical phrase, that) of those passions than this delightful post, in which Karen the SoupAddict notes, “my tomatoes and I have started a punctuation scrapbook to the mark (ahem) the day”?
For lots of wry and realistic passion about food, for a snap better than that from a freshly picked green bean (I can indulge in such analogies because I grew up on a Wisconsin farm), and for your comrade-in-spirit-of-making-fun-of-this-blog’s-author, enjoy SoupAddict’s Blog.
(I suspect SoupKaren is now going to curse herself for teaching me as much HTML as she did . . .)

I laughed out loud to see that you filed this post about my blog under “assorted weird crap.” That about sums it up.

Well, I had to return the favor two-fold, since the clever tomato-punctuation artistry had me laughing out loud, and since you had categorized the post referring to this blog as “general nonsense.” And that, too, as you say, sums it up . . .

Touchè (I don’t think that’s the correct French “e”, but I couldn’t find what I think it’s supposed to be in the dang alt+number sequence.
And, I used an emoticon. Eek! Can you ever forgive me?

And I forgot to close the opening parenthesis in the above comment. I’m a National Punctuation Day disgrace.
