I know why people blog about food. It’s a daily source of inspiration.

Tonight I made tacos. But I forgot the taco seasoning. That was fine because I like bland food, but Geoffrey had to flavor his with hot sauce.

Also, people blog about food because its safe.

Tonight I made tacos but almost burnt the house down in the process. The oven started to burn and when I opened it, smoke billowed out and set off the smoke alarm. Geoffrey ran in the kitchen to find me cowering in a corner with my hands over my ears, unable to see from the smoke in my eyes and had to wave a dish rag at the fire alarm to cut it off. Once I could see again, I started to worry that the fire department would soon show up to mock me as they did four years ago when an accidentally burnt steak set off the fire alarm. My ever-practical engineer husband assured me that because of different requirements in the fire code, this fire alarm was not wired to immediately summon the burnt-steak-mocking firemen. I guess their wives never had to learn how to cook the hard way.

Finally, people blog about food because everyone is interested in food…

Did you hear that, J-, I made tacos! Normally, J-, C- and I end up at Tuesday Taco night, but since J- is in the middle of the bar exam (which he will pass so that I can have his books) we held off tonight in plans of bar-completion celebration tomorrow. But I had tacos anyways. Nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Yes, there is lots of inspiration in food.
