Food of Choice

Now I'm a tiny little Texan (I know what you're thinking, and no: everything is not BIG in Texas) and the outcast of my family when it comes to food because I'm so picky. My mom and sister will chow down just about everything that is put in front of them. My dad, on the other hand, has a couple of more restrictions. He won't eat anything that he can't he identify and no spices. Then there's me, on the completely opposite side of the family. I'll eat virtually nothing. If I can't tell what it is then it's not going in my mouth! Don't even consider giving me spicy foods (and yes, I am aware Texans are supposed to like all that spicy stuff but I'm not part of that stereotype), anything SOUR (that includes pickles and candy), condiments, potatoes or seafood. Tilapia and mashed potatoes are probably my least favorite foods of them all, so I decided that imma make them together for one meal and eat it (then maybe throw up afterwords...).

food blog review number two

What do you expect when you read a food blog? Perhaps a recipe and pictures? Maybe even a review of a five star restaurant? Well let me tell you right now, the best food blog post I have ever read is about a TACO TRUCK.!

    With the name Eat Drink & Be Merry, the first thing I thought of was "Not another blog about five star restaurants!" A closer inspection led me to find that my original hypothesis was incorrect and for that I was VERY happy. While the other four blogs I explored (bake4me, bigYELLOWbowl, Chubby Hubby and Blog of CheapCooking) in an attempt to find the best of the best, mostly only talked about recipes and had too many pictures for my eyes to comprehend.
    Eat Drink & Be Merry might not have the most impressive template to draw the reader in, but I can assure you that the writing ain't no piece of garbage. Now I don't know about y'all, but to me the most impressive culinary blogs are about personal experiences combined with history of the food and a couple of pictures. Having ONLY ten pictures with NO writing is way too much for this gal to handle! (Take a hint bake4me!) I mean how am I supposed to know how to make a dish with only pictures of the process! There weren’t even ingredients!
    Y'all can go to a five-star restaurant but this little Texan is gonna go to a taco truck for my next meal (when in LA that is).   ;) 

Food blog review

With so many food blogs out there how do you know which one is a good read and which ones are just plain boring? Well I found a food blog that might just enlighten you with a new recipe. Bitter Sweet is a food blog that you will want to be checking back again and again just to find something new to eat. While lengthy at times (especially compared to Bake or Break) it's worth all the time and attention you spend reading it. Captivating diction and rhetorical questions that make you laugh to beautiful pictures that motivate you to want to create the dish yourself; you will never tire of this blog. Compared to Blue Kitchen, Bitter Sweet easily tops it if you are looking for a blog that has passion for the art of culinary and connections to home and work life.  Coconut and Lime is a very straightforward blog, much different from Bitter Sweet in which the blogger’s thoughts are blogged instead of just experiences or experiments. When comparing the blog 80 Breakfasts to Bitter Sweet the first thing that catches my eye is the template. 80 Breakfast’s template is eye catching and bright while Bitter Sweet’s template is basic and plain.
