twiblog

I said I wouldn't touch Facebook again for a while, but as long as I'm wasting a perfectly good Sunday morning sitting at the computer instead of making cornmeal blueberry pancakes (sorry, Shelley, not that into bananas):

For getting notices of new blog posts tweeted, the instructions are here.  Do they work?  We'll see.

A limited application of the other direction would also be nice---viz., a button that points to my twitter feed (not auto-posting tweets, which is just (a) wrong, (b) pathetic giving how rarely I twit, and (c) a complete conflation of conceptually different media). There's probably a gadget that can be added.

But no: for now, baby steps. Especially since I seem to have obtained my first unknown follower on twitter.  In the words of Morris Day, "Hello; do I know you?"

  1. Harumph. You don't actually taste the banana in the pancakes. It's just a nice leavener in place of the egg. A banana, baking powder and a half-hour sit make for nice, fluffy, vegan pancakes.

  2. I hadn't heard of banana as a leavener before. I assumed its role was more as a hygroscopic agent, like honey, though McGee implies you get an awful lot of sugar from ripe bananas (starch before they ripen, which might explain plantains).

    I recognize that bananas are good for you, and I even choke them down on a regular basis (like when they're the only fresh fruit suitable for eating with cereal), but once they get fully ripe there's just something offputting about them.
