as promised, though in a slightly different direction

In the 2 days since her introductory post Miss Betsy has been at odds with her Internal Critic and her Internal Editor, both of whom have reservations about her writing about herself in the third person. The critic thinks this style comes across as too arch . The editor thinks it may irk readers and sour them on her blog. Miss Betsy has considered this carefully and has agreed to be open minded, and to start writing in the first person. She reserves the right to go back to any voice she likes, since after all- this is HER blog. More on the Southern version of a workplace potluck- the carry- in- later in the day and also some musings on hospital food. And perhaps a word about Richard Olney and his Turnip Gratin recipe from Simple French Food. I cooked this yesterday for the third or fourth time, and recommend it unreservedly. I might also talk about the elderberry syrup I had yesterday on French toast. French toast you can get anywhere. But Elderberry syrup- More later.
