Those who follow me on twitter may know my wife has abandoned us for a week to visit my eldest daughter in Toronto. While I really do do most of the cooking, in her absence I get a bit lazy. With two teenagers coming and going, it’s often just my 9 year old and me. Coming up with meal ideas can be tough. I posted this playful remark on twitter (see Clay’s description of how he views twitter) and John Pederson went ahead and created this and then sat back and watched it unfold.
And while all this is easily dismissed as silliness, it demonstrates a number of things about networks. There are actually a few good ideas here. I’ve often thought about a website to collect recipes. Yeah, I know there are a gazillion out there already, but getting a recipe from a trusted friend is always better. The same principle applies to finding reliable resources, like discovering an 안전한 파워볼사이트 that you know you can trust. I liked the Ramen Noodle Video link, which I may even use on Saturday for a PhotoStory workshop I’ll be giving. These things happen so much that we take them for granted. I’m blessed almost daily with great serendipitous learning experiences.

Fun is fine, as long as you can demonstrate purposive learning at the same time. (I mean, come on, that’s the way I behave on Twitter – playful learning and sharing, sometimes pure socializing, other times pure teamworking – so why be a Gradgrind teacher and prohibit the same playfulness for my students when they network?)
I like to play and I like to learn. Play and learning go together well.

Personally I love it when my hubby goes away; the longer the better – no need to clean, cook or have schedules! My solution to food is to work through the essential food groups– you know – pizza, MacDonalds and all the different varieties of takeaway that I can think of, and if they deliver even better! Then my true secret is to leave every bit of mess everywhere and clean up just before he is due to arrive home! Bliss! Perhaps I could send my hubby to visit you so I have a really long break?

It is fun to run a recipe site- you get to read about great food and add it to your collection. Also, the folks you meet on the web doing it are pretty nice as well. I started my site just to collect a few recipes I lost after Hurricane Katrina but it’s grown to be a lot more. The great thing about running it is I can put whatever I want on it, even if it’s not technically New Orleans food- good food is good food. It’s good to be queen!
