Twitter highlights for Thursday of the 2010 LITA National Forum

conference logoWere you unable to attend the 2010 LITA National Forum in Atlanta? Find twitter streams a bit overwhelming, lacking in context, or chronologically confusing?

Here is your solution: a re-organized, select set of relevant and/or funny tweets for each of the pre-conferences given on Thursday. Please post comments if I've missed any particularly good tweets!

I've also posted similar summaries for the other days of the LITA conference, including: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

CSA Haul: 2010-09-23

New this week: radishes.

Update: Did you know that sweet potatoes cure?  The longer they sit, after being de-greened and dug up, the higher sugar content they get.

Joe lets his cure for 2 weeks, which gives them a wonderful, subtle sugariness...we REALLY enjoyed using these potatoes with just a hint of sweetness!

Hold on to your hat and get ready to traverse the maze of HTML dialects, with a stop for fun along the way!

CSA Haul: 2010-09-09

New this week: arugula, green beans, butternut squash, round eggplant.

Updates: Okra is pretty good raw (has a vegetal tangy-ness that is appealing), but is heavenly fresh off of skewers from the grill!

Also, by adding spinach (or arugula) and boiled bulgur wheat to your pork sausage, you can make a slightly healthier meat dish and stretch it out a bit more, too.
