It doesn't look like you've tried anything yet. You may want to review the Unpacking Dictionaries video.

Then, give it your best effort and ask for help if you still need it.

Maybe you are looking for this:

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}!".format(**dicts[0])
print(string)
