The first time I saw a peach and tomato salad on one of the food blogs, I literally drooled. Oh, yes, I did. I knew there would be one in my immediate future.
Well, just a few words…
Remember my post about The Tasting of the Rosés party? Where everyone brought a variety of rosé wine and a food pairing? Well, my contribution was Pigmentum Malbec 2010 and this delicious creamed corn empanada with orange-honey drizzle. Big hit! I highly recommend both.
Not quite a revolt of the masses so to speak but Leila, a/k/a @flyingpigfoodie, started this sub-group of So FL Foodies after attending several wine tasting events where diverting attention from the wine, even to pair it with food(!), was frowned upon, seriously poo poo-ed 
. I wasn’t there but I can just picture the group mantra came about with this lighthearted chant.
What I’ve gotten from Social Media is PRICELESS! I found great support and appreciation for my work; I’ve gained knowledge, inspiration and occasional LOLs; I’m never at a loss for restaurant recommendations in unknown areas; I get sales alerts and special offers; I get leads for all sorts of things of interest; and I found tech advice and the answer to any question is generally just a tweet away. I can’t tell you how many times I went on twitter with a panicky question about something technical and got a resolution in minutes! Then there’s ‘search lists’. That’s how I stay plugged into whatever is currently on my mind. These days it’s Tuscany.
And, best of all, I made friends. Lots of virtual ones in places all over the globe…and real, huggable ones to enjoy life with locally.
