If...................you are meticulous about your presentation of food, whether fancy or casual. (I find that I must make an artistic statement, even if I'm serving my husband a simple salad for dinner,or toast and jelly for breakfast)

My wife and I put together a quiz for this about a year ago. You can find it here. Of course, there are countless other possible questions. Those are just the ones we settled on at the time.

You arrange your mustards alphabetically. Jellys and Jams too.
You have a drawer in the refrigerator for just cheeses.
You have serving dishes for only certain dishes. (The pork chop plate)
You can name more than a dozen types of pasta and you have them in your pantry.
A penzeys catalog leaves you dreaming for hours about what am I going to make with that.
Williams-Sonoma is a playground and you got the catalog before you ever went to a store.
You brag about the bread you had somewhere a decade ago.
You can name the 5 mother sauces and how to make at least 3.
If someone says apple or orange, you say which kind.
You think about which type of salt you will use on a dish because you have many types. Same with pepper. Same with oil.
If you had to with very little notice you could whip up a meal for 5 without leaving the house for anything.
You know at least 4 varieties of mushroom.
You have some saffron and you use it.

...if you happily sit down to read or re-read a cookbook - just to read it.

Once upon a time, working in clinical nutrition at a hospital (or what we called clinical nutrition back in the Stone Age) was a guarantee you WEREN'T a foodie...but that was then and Things Have Changed. Thank goodness.

you cry when zucchini prices rise to eleven dollars a kilo at the market

....if at your son's wedding you are the only one to take pictures of the plates of food before the guests dig in. (You will be relieved to hear I took pictures of the bride and groom, as well.)

i second the presentation of food comment... I don't even do it consciously now, i'll just dress up a plate nicely even if I'm feeding myself a quick meal before class or a late night snack. Also, I've noticed I take pictures of everything i make nowadays.

.... If your family pretends to not know who you are when photographing dishes in a restaurant.

I waited 10 years for a beloved higher end grocery store to open a location close to my home ( before that I drove 40 miles to shop there). Finally, my dream came true, I planned my weekend around the grand opening, and now shop every weekend, strolling throught the aisles in search of something divine for dinner. I refer to the store as "the Mothership".

Yes, I second that comment. I drive 25 miles to Nino Salvaggios because I love to get lost in the big one -- the little store is about 3 miles from my house, but not worthy of an excursion. The freshest produce, the yummy deli, the fantastic imports, and the WINES!!! Divine inspiration!

haha! I just did that myself when I threw away some strawberries last week. I'm still sad about it! The books by my bed are all cookbooks. Sad?
