People at work already think I’m weird (yes, a coworker actually told me this), but if they paid attention to me photographing my lunches and typing blog entries during slow days, they’d realize my weirdness knows no bounds. With that said, I give you:

You know you’re a food blogger when…

1) …you eat your lunch extra slowly while silently and subliminally willing the other lunch room occupants to hurry and leave so you can take a freaking photo!

2) …anytime you enter a kitchen/home goods store you spot a stack of dishes and think, those would be perfect for the blog!

3) …while eating breakfast, you’re contemplating your lunch and dinner.

4) …most of your newest acquaintances reside at wordpress, blogspot, or .com.

5) …out of habit, your significant other and family members sit patiently in front of their full plates, assuming you’ll take a photograph before eating.

6) …instead of coveting diamonds and other jewels like normal women, your breath is taken away every time you see a Vitamix or Blendtec.

7) …there are scores of food photos on your camera, but the last pictures of you and your family are from vacation 6 months ago.

8) …your Netflix queue is full of titles like Vegucated, Food Matters, and Forks Over Knives.

9) …you’ve used every single measuring cup, spoon, and bowl for one single recipe, because God forbid somebody not know how a tablespoon of syrup or a cup of flour looks.

10) …you almost have a panic attack in the grocery because you can’t find millet or chia seeds. Quelle horreur!

What are some of your food blogger quirks?

Do you ever feel self-conscious when photographing your food in public?
