Upon my arrival the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food (comments and feedback) with this hungry traveler.
I fill my large empty pot (this blog) with water (creative content) and drop a large stone in it (this story), and place it over a fire in the village square.
One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what I am doing.
I answer that I am making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish (comments + feedback) to improve the flavor, which I am missing.
The villager does not mind parting with just a little bit of carrot (comments) to help me out, so it gets added to the soup (Chef Intel.).
Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and I again mention my wonderful, stone soup (Chef Intel.) which has not reached its full potential yet.
The villager hands me a little bit of seasoning (feedback and suggestions) to help me out.
More and more villagers stop by, each adding another ingredient (Interaction).
Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup (Chef Intel.) is enjoyed by all.
More Info :
Stone Soup is an old folk story in which hungry strangers persuade local people in a town to give them food. It is usually told as a lesson in cooperation, especially amid scarcity. In varying traditions, the stone has been replaced with other common inedible objects, and therefore the fable is also known as button soup, wood soup,nail soup, and axe soup.
Some Excerpts Above Taken From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I had a lot of ideas about where this blog was all going to start off and played with quite a few of these ideas before choosing stone soup as my opening move. I hope it has held your attention long enough for me to continue to explain my evil plan.
The Blueprint
I plan on using this blog platform to accomplish several goals.
1. I seem to be spending (wasting) a lot of time on social networks like Facebook typing out enough original content on my friends comments for at least a blog or two and it seems to be wasting my potential as a fierce blogger.
3. I can create additional content to be included in my upcoming cookbook dedicated to my daughter Karmadi , a collection of creative new spins on classic childhood favorites.
4. I can become a better writer and publisher and by practicing these skills advance my communication skills in general .
5. I can create more public awareness about my own personal brand and the organization I currently work with.
6. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the parts that benefit you the reader , an upfront and honest but sometimes candid and others times very serious look into the crazy world of culinary arts as seen through my eyes. This includes but is not limited to Awesome Recipes, Cooking Tips and Tricks, Food Related Reviews , and lots of other things you will be interested in .
Like stone soup is a familiar story to many, I hope this blog also becomes a familiar and welcome place online for those wanting to grow with me in the kitchen. You helped me water this seed (idea) and now it has sprouted into a baby tree (blog) producing fruit (intelligence)
for all to share .
Chef Ed Welcomes you all to Chef Intel.
