All There Is To It

Crumbling Toward Twitter Oblivion

Maybe it's me. My age? My innate and recurring mode of disorganization? My laissez faire attitude (and yes, Typepad, I spelled that correctly!)? My hormone fluctuations?

I can't keep up with the whole Facebooking-Twittering-Whatever-Else-Kinda-Communication-Is-Next-On-The-Horizon'ing. And damn, I'm trying hard.

Okay, enough whining. (but I'm so good at it...) I'm going to start assuming that all those Blogorific Mommies who are Out There & In Touch 24/7 have all the same support systems as me, no more, no less. There comes a time when a woman's got to stop waiting for things to be 'just such and though' and just start.

Here's the deal: I'm going to be adding to my time burden -- I mean -- starting a new Internet adventure in the next few weeks. That's why you may have noticed a new widget in my blog's right-hand pile o'stuff. A recipe contest, it is, and one that's dependent on the 140 characters allowed by Twitter. 

If you want to see my related recipe tweet, well... you'll just have to look for me on Twitter, now won't you? (And the contest hashtag is #frenchs)

I have succumbed, to what, I'm not entirely sure. But... Go!

Trailer Park Eggplant Fritters

What comes around goes around, even in trailer parks. Even in the minds of those who don't actually live in trailer parks (any more) but who can't quite shake elements of the experience...

So I'm giving some Showin Off Love to my friend, Mira Dessy, a woman whose love of healthy food is apparent not just on her blog grains & more, but in the way she lives (Mira uses words like "holistic" and "supportive" on her blog bio, even though she stays right down the highway from me...)

I liked the sound of one of Mira's many recipes -- but I thought some of the ingredients that she "had on hand" were funny. Grapeseed oil? Ezekiel flour?

So I couldn't resist daring to make the Trailer Park Version. Mira egged me on and, one beer later, I was documenting my trial for all the (small) world to see on Facebook.   

I'm feeling a new career coming on... (guess I'd better hurry before the cholesterol catches up with me.)
