Hi Dina, I've made this dish twice and it's delicious – thank you! I need to use up some spinach and was wondering if you think it will work with this dish. If so, where in the method should I add it? If not, I'll use it for something else.

Hi Kevan, I'm not sure if I'm just being a surly Brit here but one thing that always comes off as shallow when 'brand representatives' engage on social media is their overuse of exclamation marks.

Saying 'Hi Kia, thanks for the comment' seems more genuine than 'Hi Kia! Thanks for the comment! : )' It's a subtle thing and purely anecdotal but may be worth considering.

Hi Geraldine,

I posted your awesome story to https://www.quora.com/What-... (with link back to here). I hope you don't mind. Please tell me if you do and I'll delete my answer.

Oh, Hunter. I thought "learnings" was used only by corporate robots.

I agree in the most part. We use Google Apps at work and the most recent time I returned from vacation, I had 200 emails in my inbox. I thought, 'oh, that's not as bad as expected' but the true number was masked by Gmail's conversation view. In each of those was a chain of 10-20 emails so, in reality, I had more than 2,000 emails. Getting so many is completely unnecessary.

Having said this, I don't like being constantly disturbed at my desk either. I think we've fostered a culture of instant communication where we want answers NOW even if we don't need them. This can, and often is, utterly exhausting.

Awful, awful, awful design. I mean, inline images! Really?

Can we change the name to Silicon Circuit for starters?

Agree. I recently wrote about how turning 30 has actually had a positive and calming effect on my life.

You make a great point about fear mongering. Many women feel like they have to climb the career ladder, get married, buy a house and have kids all in their 20s when, actually, the next decade offers so much as well.
