My only thing about myself is I'm not anywhere near as outgoing in real life as I am online and on social media. I can talk to everyone online and it's fine. But I'm not so comfortable being around others in person. I censor myself online as well. I think we all probably do to some extent.

Because of improv, a lot of people see me as quite authentic, but I feel like people are not as interested in us as we think they are. That being said I still believe in the connection of us all and how it helps us walk on this journey.Trin Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01649273594176899623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-43249698518800397702022-05-07T20:22:22.710-05:002022-05-07T20:22:22.710-05:00I knew you'd see my point, as you walk that li...I knew you'd see my point, as you walk that line well yourself.Karen BakingInATornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908944310611937600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-6686145513302559402022-05-07T19:49:53.109-05:002022-05-07T19:49:53.109-05:00Hear, hear!

Second, thank you for reading and commenting on all of my posts, the support means so much to me. And third, I'm so glad you're going to try this recipe.

My Mother's Day meal (part of which is going to be prepared tomorrow) almost got changed to this, but we decided not to because I think my son would enjoy the previously scheduled meal better. That's my son, rarely mentioned on social media, except when I say that he exists. He's very much a part of my life, and he's a private person. I respect that. I think you are wise not to publish that draft post. You can't undo anything that appears on the Internet and you are wise, knowing that it can be healing to write things down, but then you burn it or tuck it away, never to see the light of day. I think blogs are part of social media as we invite likes and comments, and many of us share posts on some form of social media. And, we all polish/edit our social media image just a bit because, well, we are all human. Finally, I enjoy your blog posts, whether or not they have food. So,back to your recipe. We will be making this another time. I Love caprese salad. I love grilled marinated chicken kebobs. Yum.

Am I always successful? Probably not. But I prefer lessons learned in a snapshot to gritty details.<br />I love your blog, Karen! I love your opinions and your insights.

What's more, "congruent" and "polished" lies in the eye of the beholder, up to a certain point?<br />I'm glad you are not a "typical food blogger" who goes on and on about the ingredients, and what inspired you, and why you chose to slightly underbake your cookes unlike last time ;-) These posts usually include a dozen almost identical pictures of the meal, and if you're lucky, after half an hour of reading (or scrolling) you get rewarded with the recipe. <br />When posting / writing, I try to say what I would tell the people who are concerned to their face. Well, with the exception of the "evil HR witch" maybe ;-)<br />Happy Friday :-)Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945984135731336978noreply@blogger.com
