Heya Julianna,  I don't think writing one review of a restaurant makes me a professional writer. I think you got the wrong impression(?)  I do have witnesses to the frozen veg on many people's plates that night. We had a full family and friend...

Why I won't usability test your software/site over the phone/via twitter

Heya, thanks for responding to my query when I asked if you had user tested your site or software, and when I asked what methods you used.  I was curious, of course, because I found numerous roadblocks to my user experience. They are
