Schaum Torte - A Perfect Spring Dessert


Do you like Schaum Torte? I'm making it for Easter. Seems like lots of people have never heard of it before. It's an old German meringue dessert that is served with berries, whip cream and sometimes ice cream. Here's the recipe if you'd like to try. Enjoy! http://dianecharno.posterous.com/

To Blog or Not to Blog...

That is the question. I started off the year with the best intentions to start this blog and get active with Twitter. As of April, I'm doing pretty good with Twitter, but not the traditional blogging thing. It makes me wonder, do I need to do both.

Today, there are so many places for us to be "social", share and join the online conversation. I'm active on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. I'm using FriendFeed, rrs feeds, digging and bookmarking. Now, I'm seeing more use of newer blogging services, such as Tumblr and Posterous, where they make it super easy to post. So many options. If I try to do it all, I'll spend my entire day online.

Like most people, I need to streamline. I need to find efficiencies in this social media world. Right now, I'm most active with Twitter. It's fast and easy to use. I could use a blog to expand on thoughts and projects occasionally. Okay, so maybe I'll continue to do both. The next question - should I invest the time into this blog? Should I try one of the other services, such as Tumblr? What do you think?
