Apologies in advance for the rambling nature of this post, but I’m going to do my best to tie it all together. I have a lot of random things to talk about today.
So you remember how I recently tried to give a book away – Bittman’s Food Matters?
Well, the winner never claimed their prize nor left an email address for contact. SO. I’m going to give it away AGAIN, hopefully more successfully this time.
But here’s the (arguably) cool part. Instead of just randomly picking someone who comments on this post, I am going to give the book away to the first person who a) comments on the post, b) likes my page on facebook, and c) follows me on twitter. Be the first to do all three of those things, and the book is yours.
I can hear you saying now – “Wait, you have a page on facebook? How could I have possibly ever missed such an awesome thing?”
Well, that’s because I didn’t until just now. I fancied up a little corner for myself (and ourselves) in that massive 800 pound gorilla of a website so you can all come hang out when you want to. It’s my hope that through the facebook page we will be able to facilitate more interaction and discussion than we might be able to do here. So to that end I invite everyone to feel free to come and post all your homeless food thoughts there (as in, your food thoughts that don’t have a home – not your thoughts about homeless food… actually no, those are just as welcome, too) – from what you just ate to restaurant reviews to articles about food to whatever you want.
I also prettied up my twitter homepage a little bit over the weekend, and updated my username to @MSCK_Liam. I won’t get into why twitter is awesome, but it is.
So there’s my marketing efforts for the week(/month?/year??). I did have some amazing food over the weekend, including the Slow Food DC Annual Dinner at Willow Creek Farm, but you will have to be patient to hear about it – I promise details are coming.
Last but absolutely not least, this week is National Farmer’s Market Week! Go support your local farmers. You shouldn’t really need a week of recognition to go out and buy the best possible food available to you, but hey whatever it takes.
Be sure to visit your local market before the week is up.
If you want to win a free copy of Mark Bittman’s book Food Matters – like my page on facebook, follow me on twitter, and comment on this post. If you already follow me on twitter, great, you’ve got a head start.
