@Mien Yes, but they make cell phones pretty small. So its possible that the mushrooms you ate could have cell phones, and be on chat.SE right now. Or posting twitter updates about how they're going to give you indigestion.
Actually, something like that sounds more like Facebook material.

my advice would be: 1-2 posts per week is a good goal to shoot for. they do not all have to be super long and involved; there are a gazillion studies showing that regularly updating content is by far the most important part of building a blog audience.
@Mien I know you're pingable here. Care to write a blog post sometime soon? Something about those baked sweets known only to famous detectives with mustaches? We'll take much shorter posts than the ones @rumtscho and I wrote! The StachExchange Overlords insist!

And I guess its on-topic here, so...
@Sobachatina @rumtscho Its also not like "how do I cook this quickly" is a weird question for a chef. I mean, its a big concern in a restaurant setting, right? Most chefs of course would use a sauté pan, but, you can do that over a campfire, too...
I've read that escargot can be a carrier of parasites (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) or bacteria that can lead to meningitis. I assume there are no visible signs if they are in fact carriers. Will the boiling process make escargot safe to eat if they are? I assume it's just a matter of time and te...
@Sobachatina they didn't even ask before sending it
@laura I agree about the frequency, but we simply have nobody to write
We decided that we will urge people to write, and once we build up a backlog of posts waiting to go live, we can move to a one-week-schedule
But currently, we are really doing it fortnight-to-fortnight. The only reason why we have a post for the slot after next is that we had planned three book reviews in one and then broke up that post, so that part two is coming in later
