Mine's out there at http://www.blogsmonroe.com/food/ ... and down the right side of my pages are some of my own favorites.

Mine is cookingwithkaty.livejournal.com. My goal in starting it is to help people learn to tweak recipes and also learn to cook without recipes or develop their own.

It's pretty new, and sparse on content so far (I'm working on adding more!), but:

Duh - I didn't answer my own question! Mine's called - you guessed it - CookiePie, and it's about the things I'm baking, as I write my first cookbook. Come on by!

One of my favorite blogs is by the wife of my coworker:
http://chompdown.blogspot.com
It is about cooking and eating out in NYC from the perspective of a small town Kansas native.

@Chiff they must have a great Costco because there has NEVER been cookies that good at the Costcos I go to. We don't have corn cakes either. I am going to call and complain for sure. Great little spread. The pasteria looked picture perfect. Great party!

To you all,
I have been having such fun looking at these blogs. But I see, from reading one of them, that I am a 'lurker'. I am just learning the language of all this. Am I allowed to mention that I have a website, rather than a blog?
It is an on-line food dictionary with 61,555 entries in 256 languages so far! You can find it at http://www.whatamieating.com - and please please let me know if you find errors of any kind.
I do it all alone, and it's free entry but I do get people of the right nationalities to check entries whenever I can. I'm probably breaking all sorts of rules, but I have just launched my site recently and would love people to use it. I think it might be really useful.
Foodlexi at 9:40AM on 04/28/08
I'm at www.stlouiseats.typepad.com, along with Mr. Meatloaf. We cover local restaurants, wine, some food shopping, some cooking, and road food whenever we travel.

My blog is bitchincamero (www.bitchincamero.com). It's mostly about what I make for dinner. The old posts (before I figured out what I wanted to do with the blog) are completely random though :)
bitchincamero at 11:08AM on 04/28/08
Thanks, Jerz!! The squeaky wheel gets the cookies and the cornbread.
I love my brother's parties...They are one better than the next. And of course, I get a recipe-laden blog entry out of it!
My gripe with myspace - you can't direct people to a specific blog entry. i.e. If I wanted to send someone to an old T-Giving blog, they have to scroll around and find it themselves. I'd love to have a real blog, one with links and other goodies - comment capabilities you don't have to dig for, etc.

I recently started a bread pudding blog -
Bread Pudding All Day -
http://breadpuddingallday.blogspot..com/
It features recipes and creative ways to embrace this ultimate comfort food - from making bread pudding in the oven, to the slow cooker, to the grill, to the microwave. Also included are tips on bread choices and ideas for sauces and toppings.

I just started a cooking blog last week!
Where I'm Cooking From
I write (and post photos) about the foods I find in Greenmarkets and international shops in New York, and how I like to cook them. Recent entries include what to do with ramps, Greek rose ice cream, and the Trader Joe's Thai peanut shortage.

It's
Devour this

Cooking, baking, farmers' markets, personal food stories, etc.
However, I'm starting my first (small) roofdeck vegetable and herb garden and am looking to blog my way through it! Hoping to redesign my blog a bit.
jbeach at 9:57PM on 04/29/08
Oh, and I'm going to start adding recipes, too. I've started formulating my own lately, which has been loads of fun.
jbeach at 10:00PM on 04/29/08
I just started mine (literally today) after about a year's worth of delay, so I haven't even gotten new paint on the walls:
Domesticity
http://domesticity.org/
It's only got a couple of entries, but I envision it as a space where I talk about how to be be a domestic deity with less: less money, less time, less energy, less hassle, less frustration, etc. I also expect I'll have more than a few food entries, as well as entries where I natter on about gender roles in modern society and how they apply towards "the cult of domesticity" in this day and age - things like: how one can be a feminist and love to be domestic, and how this isn't a contradiction.

My current blog (which I dropped for awhile but picked up again but only for a once-a-week entry) (actually started it again because this amusing guy called LunaPierCook talked me into it) (and you don't want to say no to him or he'll foodpun you to death) is called Fast Food Feminist .
It's not about fast food but is about the right of someone, anyone, even a person who has been a professional chef, to consider the use of "convenience foods" as a part of life if and when they choose to without fearing the wrath of food-snobs or god. But it doesn't talk about fast food a lot (nor does it talk about slow food a lot).
It's not exactly about being a feminist either but maybe it's about being a post-feminist "of a certain age" who has been called a feminist by others due to a certain level of career success and who has also been an at-home Mom by passionate choice. But it's through the eyes of an "at-home-Mom" whose true passion might be, could be, domesticity - who ended up marrying a man who if the story were to be written would start with the line "Looking back on it, it seemed as if he married me with the sure intent of being my enemy."
The name of the blog came about because of a guy on a food forum who called me that when I responded to his post about how women should be cooking for their men. As a woman who did cook for her man and then ended up actually sort of cooking her heart out - to the point where cooking, a love and a passion, took on the taste of bitterness - I resented his name-calling and even more than that, rued the situation of the many women that landed in the place of being single mothers trying to do all the work that belongs within the partnership of marriage - feeding their family well being a part of this.
Some short fiction, some silly poems, some essays, some food culture are in the blog. It is not all wine and roses, for sure. :)
It mostly was about being called a name in a hateful way. It was a response to that.
It's rather moot to me right now though - I have an idea that is different to do, soon. And that's the great thing about blogs - you can pick them up and play with them, put them down and start another if the inclination is there to do so.
Talkative today, aren't I.
Should have blogged it instead. :)
Karen Resta at 6:54AM on 04/30/08
My food blog is called Tummy Treasure, which is one of several that I maintain. It's mostly about comfort food, but there's also bits about cooking well on a budget, cooking for kids, entertaining ideas, and most recently I've been throwing in some gardening posts as we're entering that season.
This is my food blog:

Irony via food metaphor. I'm foodcentric, and the metaphor is elastic enough to encompass irony in every arena--motherhood, marriage, art...
Somehow, I started featuring this little game (forgive the pun, but it's my personal take on the Kevin Bacon game for '08) of working an ancho-chile crush on Bobby Flay into every entry:

@Karen - your story sounds really fascinating - I'm definitely going to check out your blog!

Mine is basically the cheese sandwich/what I ate for dinner sort. I focus on cookbooks, just because that's the only way I can make myself utilize them.

The most recent post is not actually the infamous swiss chard. The infamous swiss chard was going to be made into another version of that dish, though.

@ Karen (My second ever post and I am learning the language!)
I have bookmarked your blog. Great and interesting and a cat! I am old and English and rather respectable and a feminist of a muddled kind. So I really enjoy this site and will visit again and again.
Foodlexi at 4:09PM on 04/30/08
Foodlexi and CookiePie, thank you for your kind comments. :)
The idea of having a blogroll as CookiePie has done here is a good one - I've found something to enjoy, something to learn, something to admire in each blog above.
It's almost as good as going shopping! (And there's nothing to have to put away afterwards, so in that way it surpasses it . . .)

My blog is My Little World of Food
http://mylittleworldoffood.blogspot.com/
It is fairly new, but I think I've been posting like a madwoman! I have posts on recipes, thoughts, food reviews, chocolate, cooking, eating, and gadgets.
I'm having a lot of fun with it, and it encourages me to try new things and improve my photography. I'm trying to make the photos nice. My last dinner that I posted recipes to was a real challenge in the photography department. It just wasn't too pretty to start with.
I am working on building up a collection of nice plates to use in my photographs, and I need to get a collection of fabrics going to make my photos more interesting.
puppymomma at 7:59AM on 05/01/08
P.S. @Foodlexi - I just had a moment to browse your blog and am in awe. I love the entries - the information-style/level is happily that of The Oxford Companion to Food but not as dreary-feeling cat-nappish as The Cambridge World History of Food but with a hint of the charm of Waverly Root running through it which makes one smile while supposedly doing research.
Priceless. Bookmarked. :)
Karen Resta at 9:31AM on 05/01/08
@Karen,
Oh - Thanks so much. You write beautifully and how uncommon it is.
I labour away at this in Cambridge but travel a lot and, wherever I go, I speak to food producers and marketeers. They *always* love to talk and, even without full understanding of the language, I can learn an awful lot, from China to Mexico, from Calcutta to Lisbon. I hope you will find it useful and I am delighted you enjoyed what you saw.
Browsing your blog today I remembered that I want to ask friends in Finland, Portugal and Mexico to send me images of meat cuts marked up in the appropriate languages, so that I can add them to the site - It was the cuts marked on the frog under the Devil's Food Dictionary that did it.
If anyone else can help with meat cuts it would be great. Maybe I'll start a new thread! In the mean time, if anyone can help, I can be reached through http://www.whatamieating.com.
I am coming to New York next week and would love some tips on where to go but that seems like another thread too.
Foodlexi at 11:44AM on 05/01/08
Yes, you should start one, Foodlexi. Soon, too - to allow everyone to post their favorite places then argue about them. :)
Karen Resta at 12:57PM on 05/01/08
@Karen
I have - In fact, completely by mistake - I have started two! I will learn!
I was looking at your blog again this morning and am really grateful for the prominent link. Many thanks indeed.
Better start thinking about packing. I am in a state of high nervousness as I have my first ever radio interview with NPR about my site next week. Gulp. Any tips?
Foodlexi at 6:46AM on 05/03/08
How very exciting! I'll be looking out for it, Foodlexi.
The only advice I can give you is to not eat pizza on the way to the interview for given the laws of the universe it will be sure to drip tomato onto your nice clothes.
Aside from that I'm sure we'll love you, merely due to your British accent.
So you really can't go wrong! :)
Karen Resta at 9:32AM on 05/03/08
Thanks for the advice Karen! I will definitely bear it in mind. I am petrified. However, I am also exaggerating a little. I am being interviewed by someone called Jean Feraca for Wisconsin Public Radio where she has a programme called Here on Earth. She is a very serious person and I am just nervous that I will want to prattle away about scrumptious edible things while she may wish for more of a socio-economic, or anthropological line! If it goes well, her programmes are sometimes put out on NPR in a wider sense, which would, of course, help me hugely with getting my site noticed. I am genuinely nervous and wish that I could put something into my mouth that would give it liquified on the day. Noting worse than a dry mouth on the radio......
Foodlexi at 1:18PM on 05/03/08
The idea of being interviewed on live radio could definitely make a person nervous. It is wonderful that it is happening though, and a good thing not only for you but for all food bloggers - for it shows that the concept is being taken in a serious way as being worthy of public interest.
Could be that your interviewer has an agenda or a list of questions, yes. But if you want to direct the conversation to "scrumptious edible things" then perhaps the best way to do that would be to bring along the exact scrumptious things you wish to talk about, in a big bag which you'll keep at your feet. To direct the conversation, simply pull out one or the other and hold it in the air facing your interviewer. What can she do? She must react. "What is that lovely scrumptious edible thing?" she'll say, and off you'll go to explain it. Inbetween you might allow her to ask her something she might want to ask but then pull out the next thing and hold it before her eyes.
As far as dry-mouth goes I have no suggestions except that water might be better than either champagne (too bubbly) or whiskey(can make a person cough).
If all else fails, think of Julia Child. She made the most wonderful mistakes on the air and everyone adored her for it. :)
Bon chance and thanks for taking this risk for food bloggers everywhere!

Chew on That at 5:27PM on 05/06/08
@foodlexi.........regarding dry mouth - it happens when you're nervous and not breathing normally. Try to be conscious of how you breath during normal conversation and focus on breathing like that when you're being interviewed. It does help to have a piece of hard candy handy just in case, but it could garble your words. Best of luck!!!!
