Is a Food Blog a Good Idea for Me?

Screw the other blogs (no, not really…I really like them!). This is about me! This is my adventure in food in how MY eyes see it. I should aspire to become a food blog like the ones I saw last nite. For now, I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing and if people like what they see and read, they will come! Sorry for the outburst last nite, it was late and I was cranky. Yes, I’m a human being. Thanks for your support!

I just finished looking at several food blogs here in The OC and realize that I have crappy photos and that I’m small change compared to the other OC food bloggers. I came across some new blogs tonight and now feel like I’m nothing compared to these bloggers. Seeing these blogs just wants me to be afraid and crawl into my cave and stop this endeavor. These sites have such wonderful pictures and content!

Rule #1: We eat with our eyes first.

Check out some of these new blogs I found tonight:

White on Rice Couple

Tastespotting

Wandering Chopsticks

Burnt Lumpia

Julie’s Kitchen

Then there is my new friend Matt from MattBites

I want a site like those. Me and my iPhone camera, who am I kidding? I have a Nikon camera that also is a piece of crap. I felt so discouraged after tonight. As I spent time building this site from scratch several weeks ago I was so excited. I was hoping to meet other people out there just like me, then all of a sudden I felt small and out of my league.

Sigh. I need to go to bed and sleep this off.
