  • Made a batch of granola bars from scratch. Experimental flavour tonight: fresh Florida strawberries & Fuji apples (with applesauce/vanilla) #
  • I'm worried that the applesauce made my dough too wet. I needed an extra 15 mins in the oven. We'll see after the little beasties cool. #
  • Well, my granola bar dough was too wet, and I ended up with strawberry-apple muffin bars. Wife likes 'em all the same. #

  • "No fake foods" perhaps? There sure are plenty in China. RT @gregorylent: sign in a kfc on bethnal green road, real food real meals … #
  • Avoid dogmatism #
  • "World-class" as an adjective for corporate polish. Deprecated? #
  • I've been working since 5am Saturday morning on a kick-ass China mktg campaign for a great new client in the building materials sector #
  • @AlexBowman Our agency, Illuminant Partners, is possibly the most experienced PR and comms shop in China for the property & construct sector in reply to AlexBowman #
  • @AlexBowman We have dozens of client credentials in the sector. We're particularly strong in helping construction products companies to mkt in reply to AlexBowman #

  • Cornflakes: you complete me. #
  • I just became the mayor of Bank of America on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/cORlTq #
  • Fam dinner was pan-seared pork chops (boned & finger-cut for serving) over a bacon ratatouille with roast potatoes and blanched asparagus. #
  • @tibettruth Yeah. I cook for my family every night I'm at home. Carrying forward my own dad's traditions, as best as I'm able! in reply to tibettruth #
  • @tibettruth Tx! The rat turned out well. Deglazed pan after porkchops, chick stock, caramelized peppers, cauli, baby carrots, creamcheese in reply to tibettruth #
  • @tibettruth That'd be fun! I've been thinking about blogging the evening meals (with all my spare time! ;-) in reply to tibettruth #
  • Having tons of trouble getting a Skype multi-party call up between US and China. These things so rarely go well. #
  • Unpleasant con call completed. Have had to terminate a client relationship after only 2 months. Differences of opinion. Its never pleasant. #
  • @christinelu My Beijing team tells me the Fatburger launch was a great success, Christine. I expect you deserve congratulations! #
  • @lyonsdigital We've pretty rarely had to terminate a client relationship. In 10 years I could count them on one hand. But sometimes a mustdo in reply to lyonsdigital #
  • @marcelekkel Precisely. This particular client is, in our prof opinion, simply not ready for PR and will not benefit in their current state. in reply to marcelekkel #
  • @NiuB Yeah, Yum is absolutely killing it in China. Those guys deserve medals. in reply to NiuB #
  • You know how many people have a poor view of PR agencies, for playing fast and loose with the truth? It's sadly often true w some agencies. #
  • Sometimes a story is merely a news-in-brief. Poor practice to elevate NIB to story with boastful & opaque word tricks. Journos aren't stupid #
  • PR agencies need to be Hippocratic: to do no harm to their clients. Agencies come & go but clients live with their releases forever. #
  • @drilbu Hippocrates made his students of medicine swear an oath (the Hippocratic Oath) to first, do no harm.Those of us in PR should do same in reply to drilbu #
