It's a grouchy morning. Technology and I are not living compatibly, and technology is getting the upper hand on way to many levels to enumerate.
But, hey! The snow is pretty, right?

'I think I bring a fire and a passion'
But, hey! The snow is pretty, right?
And now, here's where to find me on social media (unless
technology has taken another swipe at me) and links to this weeks's feature
stories.
Non-bylined features:
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works -
brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them
on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to
read.
One can also find
those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health,
faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left
hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and
the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs
under "people."
Community news? Again, under the sections tab, under
features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web (and
some only on web on other days as I have the time): Monday (pets), Tuesday
(health), Thursday (faith), Friday (arts and entertainment), and Sunday
(people).
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter
during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the
BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at
www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of
Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.

Whisking It Up: Making perfect blackened chicken
JJC chef Kyle Richardson demonstrates in episode 7 of
'Whisking It Up'
Many definitions for "blackening" meat, poultry or
fish call for dipping the item in spices and butter and then cooking it in a
very hot skillet, which creates plenty of smoke. Here's a better way.
