So I got a twitter account and started to tweet (why you may ask?….well why do you write emails to people and then call them 10 minutes later to say “I just sent you an email…..” Why not? ok!) Next thing I know I’m looking for coffee- related tweets. I find one with some not-so-encouraging remarks about a competitor’s coffee tweeted by Carol Blymire. (Carol who? ) So I look her profile up and it says - ”I work in politics and media. I cook. I eat. I write about it sometimes. Other times, I just take a nap”….Other times I just take a nap!!! Yeah Really! …Turns out Carol is quite the food writer cooking and blogging her way through the Alinea Cookbook (naps included) having succeeded in cooking her way through The French Laundry Cookbook. Along with the other squillion things she seems to have on her plate (no pun intended) she keeps a pretty constant commentary on her twitter page about all and everything food and life related. It’s like listening to your wry witty, funny, 100 miles-per-minute friend, and I became a fan after watching this funny video of her.
Anyway, I contacted her and asked her if I could send her some of Portland Roasting’s finest coffee and see how it measured up. No sooner had it arrived and been tasted this tweet appeared on her twitter page “If I could marry their Goose Hollow Blend I would” The day after she wrote about us on her blog – Thanks Carol!
There are other words of enthusiasm that Carol used to describe just how much she liked our Goose Hollow blend. Those words have yet to enter the world of the modern lexicon on account of them being so ahead of their time and TBH I can’t repeat them here. I can say though that when the signature cocktail bearing those words is unleashed world fame shall surely follow.
So don’t get all “bitter with twitter” OK .
