My good friend and idol (I was president of her fans club - of course there were only two members, me and the vice president), the voracious reader, writer and artist Lille Bose , seeing my renewed interest in food blogging, sent me this link to the 16 Cardinal Sins Food Bloggers Commit:
"16. Using a flash on your camera in a restaurant's dining room.
15. Stealing a menu to add to your vain collection.
14. Neglecting to say if you ate a free meal.
13. Never admitting to occasionally eating utter garbage.
12. Giving away your grandmother's recipe to gooey butter cake, lasagna or Korean barbecue chicken wings.
11. Tweeting during dinner.
10. Using your cell phone pics on your blog.
9. This.
8. Referring to yourself as a food blogger.
7. Ingredient worship. Like this spring's ramp insanity around.... Ramps. (a kind of green onion.)
6. Food bloggers whose only points of reference are other food bloggers.
5. Referring to famous chefs by first name. Especially if they are dead.
4. Being an "expert" on one thing automatically making you an expert on all tangentially related topics. (See: wine & food pairings.)
3. Excessive fetishizing of any one food object. (OMG BACON)
2. Excessive use of exclamation points!!!!!!!
1. Taking yourself too seriously." (blogs.riverfronttimes.com)
Relieved to not be guilty of #16 or #15. Proud to not be guilty of #14. But definitely guilty of #11! Haha. But I don't think #9 was a sin; I think the incident was definitely worth a post; it was a good story.
There is no sincerer love than the love of food. - George Bernard Shaw
