I am a reader of food blogs. I began when I "went vegan" a year and a half ago and I have never looked back. Food blogs have educated me about a central part of life and I have a lot of fun reading them. They have picked up where a hypothetical bunch of pie making females left off in the grand progression of my learning how to take care of myself. I didn't know what a pattypan squash was but now I do. Talk about empowerment.
But I have to say, there are two adjectives that turn up astonishingly often in the food blogosphere that really bug me. These two words are 'comforting' and 'cloyingly'. Why not just say the macaroni and cheese is fattening? And that the cookies are too damn sweet? You know? Sheesh, people. Get a thesaurus.

Amy my dear! I am so excited to have found you - leave it to facebook, that thing is a BEAST! If only I'd known how many people were on it I'd have grit my teeth and signed on to a while ago.
Reading your blog is blasting me into the past - I'm back at BYU and laughing at all your hilarious, snarky comments. Hooray for snark!

Sorry your guy lost, so did mine. Course I didn't really consider him MY guy. That would have been kind of weird.
Note to self: Do not use cloyingly as word of whatever.
it actually sort of makes me want to use the word "cloyingly" regularly, in ordinary conversations, just to see how people respond.
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT CLOYINGLY MEANS?? IS EVERYONE TAKING CRAZY PILLS HERE??! I INVENTED THE PIANO TIE!
