For some time now, I have been thinking about writing a food blog, and if I ever finish paring my life down to manageable levels, it could happen.
There are a lot of them out there. Some are astonishingly good and others are very, boringly bad and self indulgent. Then, there are those that are just plain freaky. I visited one "food" site where the author devoted an entire blog to killing a snake in her garden. If you are as pretentious as moi, you know which side of the scale I am aiming for, which of course keeps me from moving forward. The potential for egg on the face is enormous.
Flickr is a goldmine for anyone thinking about writing food and punctuating the text with pretty pictures. There are many ways of searching which produce quite different results, for example, food and produce or vegetables and eggplant.
With Youtube, cooking becomes comic entertainment. Try "cooking with Christopher Walken" for some unconventional advice and hilarious parodies.
If you are going to be bad, you may as well be funny.
