If you are new to twitter and trying to follow “the rules” that are set forth by various people who blog, you will hear over and over again “Do not post what you ate for breakfast”.

I have tweeted breakfast  just a handful of times because we eat the same thing almost every day. But lunch and dinner? Up for grabs. I post tweets and photos about food and links to recipes.

And do you know what?

They are some of my most interactive tweets and clicked links/photos.

Today, I tweeted about eating acorn squash for the very first time and I heard from someone that I have followed on twitter for a while but rarely interact with:

@LauriRottmayer Acorn squash with butter!!! You KNOW it’s the Holidays!! 🙂 🙂

and also from  someone completely new that I had never heard of until she responded to my tweet:

@LauriRottmayer butternut is my favorite ..well, after zucchini and yellow steamed w/salt and pepper … love butternut squash soup

Being interested in butternut squash, which I have never tried, I chatted with her and then followed her. I love to have followers that interact with me. Even about such mundane things as squash.

So, while you may not want to ONLY talk about what you are having to eat, I certainly feel free to break that particular “rule”. As my friend Becky McCray says, “It’s OK to still be a person”.

Reminder: It’s OK to still be a person. RT @suzemuse: What if you DID tweet about what you had for lunch? http://bit.ly/d7zDSx

Great post by Susan Murphy aka @suzemuse. Because how she suggests you tweet at the bottom of her post? It’s pretty much the way I roll. 🙂
