Comments on: 10 Things You Should Know About Food Bloggers http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/07/13/10-things-you-should-know-about-food-bloggers/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Was she really a food and travel writer? She then spent the next two hours giving the hairy eyeball to the waiters that served her food, pushing away her barely touched plate and sniffing in disgust. She then turned to me and said “I don’t mean to offend you” (which is always a precursor for an offensive comment) “But how does someone like you, get to be invited to an event like this?” looking me up and down as if I were a museum specimen (foodus bloggerus I suppose).

I am not so bad as to take photos in restaurants yet, and it never occurred to be to me that you could photograph a slice of something and then still give it to a friend.

Oh snap! it's so true. One rule you need to follow when you eat out with food blogger is...wait! Food blogger tends to take gazillion shots before they start to eat. lol, I like your photo.
