The Select Gourmet is now on Twitter as . Just started. Will grow. Why no "t" on the end of "Gourme"? 'Cause Twitter only allows 15 alpha/numeric character length in the username which I discovered after the fact. Furthermore, Twitter's programming is so lame that if someone types in the full name with the "t", the response is that the account doesn't exist rather than reading the first 15 characters and displaying selection options to the viewer. What Twits!
