It’s all a lie

The truth is finally out.

I’m not a real foodie.

I’ve just come back from a week of eating my way through the Charentes and Paris, and you know what? I didn’t take a single picture of food! Despite the big eating fests to celebrate the Hubs’ 30th birthday, I don’t have a single photo of food.
Zip. Nada. Nothing. Not a pixel.
I should hang my wok in shame.
The problem? Well, you know, after a nice glass of pineau (or two), I forget to take photos! I blame it on the French and their apéros.

Oh well.

Anyway, here’s a photo of some tomatoes ripening at my in-laws, and young grapes on the grapevine…well, it’s food!

ps. I'm looking forward to catching up with all your blogs soon! Yummmmmmm!

  17. Dear WokandSpoon,
    Such a nice introduction. Very well written.

    Grapes and wine, my all time favorite. A perfect ending (or beginning) to any meals.

  23. Oh you're much more of a foodie than me! And I do know what you mean. Some people still call me a LitBlogger when I haven't posted much about literary events and book reviews for ages! And I've been out eating at so many great places lately with fantastic company... but again, no photos or write-ups to show for it.

    I think it's more important for us to enjoy Real Life and blog/read about it when we have the time/feel like it.

    Have a great week ahead, dear! :)

  24. I just stumbled upon your blog this afternoon, and I'm sooo glad I did! I've just read a few of your posts, and I love your style.

  25. I don't think that means you're not a foodie. It's hard to remember your camera when faced with such culinary delights - and in France no less!

    Ari: Thanks also for dropping by!
