Platter of Home Fries

Hello everyone,

I just finished testing a recipe for home fries, which I made using red skin potatoes. They came out delicious!

Article Overview
Home fries, sometimes referred to as hash browns, are a traditional breakfast food. Potatoes combine with shallots, garlic, paprika and other spices in this recipe.

Read the complete article and see 5 photos of the home fries being made; Red Skin Potato Home Fries Recipe, on the Suite101 website.

Take care,

Hi Paul,

I'm glad to hear you've gotten involved with Squidoo. I haven't actually visited my Squidoo pages in quite some time. I need to update all the pages and add some new ones.

Let me know what the links are to your Squidoo pages and I'll check them out!

Take care,
Lynn

Hi Jeanne,

I haven't been on Orble in awhile. HELLO from s. Florida. Dream or Destiny sounds like a really interesting book. So cool that you're in contact with the author - hey Lillie!

I've been spending most of my writing time on cycling and fitness reviews and articles. My hobby has become my job I guess!?! Getting lots of cool cycling gear and equipment to review for my Bike Diva site - keeping me busy.

Trying to keep my 3 Orble blogs a bit more active so they don't get sent to the blog cemetery list - YIKES!

Take care,
Lynn

Hey gruffalo,

I'm following you too on Twitter!

Thank you for the kind comments on my blog. Wish I could keep it more updated, but I've got a ton of other sites I write for too.

Anytime I find anything of interest for writers, I try to remember to post it up over here on Orble.

Take care,
Lynn

Hi Wilson,

Thanks for stopping by.

The weird thing is 2 months ago my Bike Diva blog won WebbleYou blog of the month. I even got a $25 Amazon gift certificate for being blog of the month. Thankfully I already used the gift certificate before WebbleYou asks for it back!

Take care,
Lynn

I've written 2 posts for Smorty and that's it. I used to keep checking the site every day or two. But there was never anything new to write about. Too bad.

I did get paid for the 2 posts I wrote.

The Pagan Path
I Love Herbs

Cool tool, thanks for sharing Jeanne!

Here's the PR of some of my sites. The first 3 are on Orble.

I Love Herbs = 3
The Pagan Path = 3
Freelance Online Work = 3

These 3 sites are on blogger/blogspot. The two with NA are so new they aren't even ranked by Google yet.

Herbal Apothecary = 3
Charity Fitness Events = NA
Freelance Writer Lynn Smythe - NA

This one is with WebbleYou and gets quite a bit of traffic. Not sure why it's PR is 0. But it's only been up since January so maybe that's why.

Bike Diva = 0

This one isn't actually a blog. It is the main page for Herbs & Spices on Suite101. I am the feature writer for Herbs & Spices and am responsible for maintaining the page, adding blogs, feature articles, etc...

Herbs & Spices = 5

This last one is my newest blog which I started with Today.com. Brand new, only a couple of weeks old, only a few posts on it so far. So Google doesn't know that it even exists.

Herb Gardens = NA
