another food blog...

another food blog? don't we already have countless blogs on blogger, typepad and wordpress? this is not counting the people who own their personal sites.

i was recently inspired to write a blog again after our recent vacation and my ever growing interest in food. i loved eating at home, eating at restaurants, eating at some "hole-in-a-wall" place that i consider a "find", entertaining at home and traveling.

the hubby and i recently had dinner with one of our couple friends (i'll call them foodie couple #1) and were comparing notes on our most recent finds and theirs. we both agreed that being a foodie is not just about the food but it's the experience as well. we love going to different places, trying new foods,  meeting new people and the feeling of satisfaction from a good meal.

what is a foodie?

according to dictionary.com, a foodie means: a person keenly interested in food, esp. in eating or cooking. well, i definitely qualify as a foodie then.

losing weight is difficult when one likes food as much as i do. no matter how much i walk or work out, it's always outweighed by the fact that there's always a new place i want to try out. it's also difficult being a foodie. it's countless checking for availability of reservations (online and by phone), reading reviews, traveling (traffic), and of course, budgeting monetary funds.

from the moment i get up in the morning till i sleep at night, my world revolves around food. what's for breakfast, lunch or dinner?
