Part Two

Alright so I don't actually believe myself worthy of the title of a fully fledged foodie, so I do use the term loosley.. but the things is, once I started dieting, and started analyzing everything I ate I really started to appreciate every bite of food.

Now that I had to think so carefully about what I was eating I found myself very aware of the look of the meal, the flavours of the meal and really making sure I enjoyed evey bite.

In fact I became a little obsessed. I would find myself walking into supermarkets and bakeries just to gaze at the beautiful and strange things to eat (I particularly love doing this at asian grocers).
I would look through menus online even if I wasnt planning to eat there. I bought mountains of cook books. I also developed a love of the many cupcake bakeries popping up all over sydney (even though to this day I have only eaten one)

I started to think I was going a little mad after people started to get fed up with me detoruing past cake displays and the like.

Then one day my boyfriend advised he wanted to go out for chinese dumplings, he had heard that ashfield was the best place to get dumplings.
I found his request a bit strange as he had never shown any inclination towards dumpling eating before but none the less I was happy to scour the internet for reviews of ashfields chinese shops.

And from her review of one of these I discovered not quite nigella, whose blog I have been stalking ever since.

After my revelation about the existance of food bloggers I stopped thinking I was going a little mad, and decided that even if no one is going to read it I would get past my fear of online social networks (yes, I know its rather sad for a 22 year old...) and make a blog.

I dont expect this to be read by many (if any) but as my family and friends do not really care in the slightest about food, and are no doubt sick of me talking about it, at the very least I can get it off my chest on here!
