The only screen I enjoy staring at is a fine mesh strainer. The computer kind strains my eyes. And that’s just one reason why I’m a Megan-come-lately to Twitter, the microblogging super-site that launched in July 2006 and has since become the font of all wisdom, or the wisdom which can be expressed in 140 characters or less. My main fear was that it would keep me connected to my computer chair for hours of unproductive digital meandering. Ironically, it has propelled me into the kitchen, and onto the street in pursuit of new restaurants and food-filled events.
