Why Toothsome?

I had a hard time coming up with a name for this blog but finally settled on "toothsome family." When dentist husband and I were first married, he wanted to create a family e-mail account. Because he was a dentist, he wanted the word "tooth" in the title. After an exhaustive search of "tooth" words in the dictionary, most of which were relatively goofy, we settled on

toothsome meaning: 1: agreeable, attractive 2: of palatable flavor and pleasing texture, delicious.

It seemed like the best word of the bunch and for years we had an e-mail account with the name toothsome in it. We have since created several new ones but learned that nobody ever forgets our toothsome account. So, with a husband who keeps this family running by working with teeth all day, and I like to think of ourselves as an agreeable bunch, it is as good of a name as any.
