Week 4 – Foodie Trivia Contest
Well, guys. This is the last week. I’ll leave the comment period open until Wednesday night.
Whoever has most total points gets the brand new game mailed. I should be able to mail it before I leave next week.
And, just for fun. I’m mailing a second (already opened game) to the person who, in my humble opinion, had the most entertaining wrong answer over the last four weeks.

Woo hoo! Are you serious? I missed all six of this week’s questions and I’m still a winner, LOL!
I’d like to thank Deborah, the Academy, James Beard, etc etc
This was a lot of fun. I’ll PM you but please, don’t rush to mail it out. I’ll be perfectly fine waiting until after your trip. Hope you have a great one!
And congrats to Cindy Ruth…21 out of 24 is impressive!
Deborah responds: Well, Annie, sometimes it pays to be a smart aleck. ::wink::
Deborah –
I took a look at your week 1 contest questions, and ran the other way – they were HARD! Congrats to winner Cindy Ruth, and to Annie, too. 🙂
Deborah responds: ::evil grin:: and why do you think I was asking the questions instead of trying to answer them?
Okay, I must confess. I only knew the answer to a few of them without doing a little internet searching. Thanks Deborah, this was a lot of fun, and I learned some interesting things. I’ll send you my address, but I’m also okay if you want to wait until you get back to mail it. Thanks again!!!
I was with Colleen. I don’t think I could have answered more than 2 or 3 at the most. Also want to send my congratulations to Cindy Ruth and Annie 🙂
Have a wonderful trip Deborah!!
