I'm started something new on Fridays: a lot of people read the Eating Eden Blog, but they are not connected with Eating Eden on facebook. Unfortunately, those people miss out on the links, studies and food updates that I post on facebook through-out the week.
So, on Fridays I will post a summary of the miscellaneous information, which I have posted on facebook through-out the week.
Now, I'm just trying to think of a clever name... how about Facebook Friday Re-Cap? Nah... Facebook Friday Findings? Ehh...
How about... In a Nut Shell ?
Hmm! In a Nut Shell
Yeah, I like it. It speaks "food" and it means to summarize. Perfect ;)
Now that we have the name out of the way...
Here are the facebook posts for the week, In A Nut Shell...
See, the name works nicely! Yeah?
