I’m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

I remember that frustration of being stuck in the kitchen–but now that my daughters are grown up with their own families, sometimes I miss it (and sometimes not!).
I replanted my beans, too–I hope not too late.

Kim, I love that. Taste it growing. THat would be a bit much… the beans taste green in a non-murderous way, thank goodness.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Dol! Farmers’ Markets are a beautiful thing. Glad to hear you’re making that a regular addition to your grocery shop.

oh, Marcy, I’ve had so many meals where everyone got drunk before the food hit the table. Not fun! Yet fun!

These Black Krim just might be even better than the Black Prince I grew a couple of years ago.

I know what you mean re: the kitchen. I feel that way about most housework… I like the quiet and the menial labor most of the time, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed. Or else (I am ashamed to admit) I start to feel resentful, like I’m the maid and everyone else are the ones having fun. That’s when I think, “Oh my god, I’m turning into my mother.”

I smiled at your comment about the beans tasting so green. My gardening friend Dave told me something similar about eating young zucchini that I will never forget. He tasted one when it was about 2inches long, just to see what the small ones would taste like, and he said that it was “wonderful and terrible at the same time… it was delicious, but I couldn’t escape the feeling that I could taste it growing. I kind of felt like a murderer, and I haven’t eaten one since.”
