Hi, I think that if you call your function and pass it a dictionary like this

print(favorite_food({'name': 'Jason', 'food': 'apples'}))

then you would unpack your dictionary in your function using **dict Eg

def favorite_food(dict):
    return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(**dict)
