More than just garnish

Filed in archive Food Blogosphere on May 5, 2006

What happens when a food blogger takes a short break and her brother the gadget blogger takes over? Praises are sung to food bloggers the world over and they discover a prospect to join their ranks. That's what I woke up to the other day when Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen went off to Washington D.C. and left her brother Rand to man the fort.

In the beginning perhaps it was just a blog to tend but when it was time to post, Rand has this to say:

How hard can the cooking blog thing be, right? Wrong! This is HARD. I tip my wooden spoons to every last food blogger on the planet. You all deserve a vacation. You all deserve a foot massage. And you all deserve a month off from cooking, and from doing the dishes. Make that two months. Seriously.

He says it took him two hours to decide on something to cook and when he was done, it didn't look bad at all!

Voila! Presenting Grilled Tofu Satay with Peanut Sauce!

I have been writing a food blog for two years this month but I never stepped back and wondered how other people saw us. After reading Rand's post and thinking on all the flak that has been heaped on us, of the times we've been plagiarised, I suppose next time someone thoughtlessly thinks it doesn't take much, I'll have this to say: "Write a food blog yourself!" Let's see where that will go, tee hee!

Visit Kalyn's Kitchen and read Rand's Gadget bloggers don't have to garnish. Even if you're not a food blogger, you're sure to love reading it!

Thank you, Rand!
