What is okay and what is not okay to share on a blog?
Like right now? I’m making my chocolate chip cookies. Should I share my secret, custom recipe, along with all the stirring and gadgetry tricks that has taken about 599 million different tries and approximately 650 pounds lost and gained in 5 pound increments to perfect?
Do I share that with you too, because the pumpkin fudge recipe post was actually fun for me. Though it wasn’t my recipe. The chocolate chip cookie recipe is my recipe, and what if I want to do something with it? Like sell it to…I don’t know, someone. Someone who will make me rich off of it. Or get a job at a bakery, all through the awesomeness that is my cookies, even though I’ve never worked at a bakery and have lazy objections to working on the weekend.
But if I’ve posted my recipe here, everyone has access to it so why would they need to buy my cookies or hire me for my cookies, I PUT IT IN GOOGLE CACHE!
Gesh, ego demands I have a plan. I a 35-year-old desperate housewife with both children in school and in an economy that is almost impossible to find a job – I NEED A LIFE PLAN! Even if it’s an imaginary plan.
But like Paula Deen and Rachel Ray became famous by keeping their recipes secret.
In other questions of over-sharing, over here we’re talking about energy beams up your vagina. Should you? Or no? It’s a personal decision, I suppose, whether to allow alien technology up your lady parts, but she did ask so don’t hesitate to chime in.
And did you read Neil’s advice on bl0w jobs? I mean, really. Get your questions in to us while you can before we become famous. Energy beams up vaginas and a man’s advice on giving blow jobs. It’s inevitable, people.

It’s tough to say what to share and what not to. I’ve put some of my original recipes online, but then again I’d never thought about publishing a cookbook.
Of course, if it’s that good, you might want to keep it a secret and have leverage over all of us, taunting us with their chocolate chippy goodness.

You could always open a shop on Etsy selling your cookies. That way you’d have something to do, but could choose not to work on the weekends

OK, I admit, I keep coming back for that recipe!
Seriously, it is much to my dismay that I have never quite perfected the chocolate chip cookie. Now, I make a lot of other mean desserts, but never the elusive chocolate chip . . .
I say RUN a contest. Call it “why we love Heather,” and the random winner gets the secret recipe!! Sent to her by super special secret Email, from Heather herself.
I have a secret chocolate chip recipe, too, and now, thanks to Neil’s tips, I think I have another not-so-secret recipe.
