Twitter, Tweets and Twecipes

December 12th, 2009

You may have noticed… we have started tweeting.  Wow!  In the upper right corner of our website, you’ll discover the Twitter logo, just click it to find our tweets…

I must say, I have to get used to tweeting, it’s not something I automatically do just yet!  But I can see the fun of it – there are so many interesting things to be found on Twitter, I had no idea!

I just discovered twecipes.  Twecipes are recipes posted in tweets, and of course the challenge is to fit all the ingredients and instructions into the maximum of 140 characters.  Like these recipes by Maureen Evans:

Lemon Curd: zest,juice lb meyer or reg lem. Simmr in bainmarie+2c sug/c buttr; whisk+5btn egg. Stir 20m@low to set. Fill 5x c jars; boil10m.
