string_factory takes one positional argument, but 2 given

Hi, my string_factory function works in workspaces, but fails in the challenge module:

def string_factory(dict_list):
  string_list = []
  for dict in dict_list:
    string = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
    string = string.format(**dict)
    string_list.append(string)

  return string_list

Thanks for any help in advance!

strings.py 
dicts = [
    {'name': 'Michelangelo',
     'food': 'PIZZA'},
    {'name': 'Garfield',
     'food': 'lasanga'},
    {'name': 'Walter',
     'food': 'pancakes'},
    {'name': 'Galactus',
     'food': 'worlds'}
]

string = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"

def string_factory(dict_list):
  string_list = []
  for dict in dict_list:
    string = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
    string = string.format(**dict)
    string_list.append(string)

  return string_list

Woops, nevermind, misread the question - it requires the function to take a string and a list.
