House ideas, party ideas, things to make. Quite often I would see something, love it, get off the computer and then immediately forget about it. this way I don't. It also works for finding something in books or mags. Most of the time I can find it again online and used as a reminder there it sits in my pinterest.<br />I don't see it as a networking tool as a lot of people do though.

Generally I'm not a fan of salad dressings so I imagine I'd like it best plain (which obviously ruins the use of the limes!) and can see how it would go beautifully with veggie burgers.<br /><br />I liked your thoughts on pictures / images and words - I too like both, but traditionally have been captured more by words than images. I am drawn into books far more than art or TV, although that is changing too with blogging and caring more about photos. I am yet to fully grasp Pinterist though, and whilst I have an account it is sadly unused!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-44746243698970548142012-06-20T00:08:08.116+10:002012-06-20T00:08:08.116+10:00That salad looks so delicious! i love sweet potato...That salad looks so delicious! i love sweet potatoes --- great flavor, great color! yum! and i know!! pinterest is THE ULTIMATE time zapper!
