Food Blog Name Suggestions
So I'm not new to cooking as I've been doing it most of my life. I am new to blogging however and am having quite a time coming up with a name that isn't already being used by someone else. I love to use fresh ingredients and I am very passionate about food. I want a food blog so that I can chronicle my culinary adventures, whether phenomenal or disastrous. If I were wealthy, I'd offer some sort of incentive. I've no money to give for your ideas, but I can pass along a (((HUG))) and a =).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
What happened to The Girl Who Ate Everything?
I noticed that the link to Robin's blog is no longer linked to at the bottom of the homepage. Is she no longer part of the Serious Eats family? If so, what's she doing now?
Grandparent Food Blogger?
Does anyone know of a grandparent food blogger? I'm working on an article about grandparents, food, love, grandkids, etc. Please email me at nora[at]shermanhome.com. Thanks!
Favourite food blogs?
Over time I've been pruning my online news reader (Google Reader, if you're wondering). Even on my slow work days it can take hours for me to get through my feeds, despite skimming headlines. I've removed a lot of recipe blogs because of the tendency to print out recipes that I never use.
Besides Serious Eats, what food blogs/food-related RSS feeds do you like the most? Let's compile a "must read" list.
Do you share your real identity on your blog? Why or why not?
I’m a relatively new blogger living in a city whose average age of residents is 76. The most happenin’ place in town is the early bird happy hour at Bob Evans - their menu is popular because it consists of very soft, easy to gum foods like mashed potatoes and pureed Viagra. Not much happening here in this town, and I’ve lost some of my big city edginess and guard. I’ll admit that I’m pretty naive to this whole blogging world.
I just have some questions for you veterans, because you know, I don’t want to do anything stupid to jeopardize like the rest of my life or anything.
Why do most bloggers not show real identities or real photos? I’ve seen sites with nicknames, initials, lips, cartoon characters. It just seems silly to me to call my husband “S’ or my kids, “Thing #1 and #2.” I’m not a known felon, nor am I in any witness protection program. I haven’t been an employee for a company in over 10 years, so I’m not afraid of pissing anyone off.
Is there some massive blogger identity theft ring that I should know about? Should I put the black bar over my eyes like in the back page of fashion magazines where they show the FASHION DON’TS??! I swear I don’t wear daisy dukes with hooker heels….only with my CFM boots.
Maybe its the other way around. Maybe bloggers don’t want their friends and families snoopin’ around their blogs, because then you can’t say stuff like, “My sister is a slut who would sleep with donkey ass for attention” (just kidding. I don’t have a sister.)
Or MAYBE, just maybe having my real name and photo just makes me a prime target for sites like www.shemalesxxx.com
What's your OTHER favorite food blog?
i love reading eater.com and i really miss noodlepie when he lived in vietnam. chowhound sometimes has good tips but their moderators are a bit maoist for my liking....what are your other favs you check out?
