LINK: Confessions of a Restaurant Whore

I suddenly find myself this morning without a post. I haven't gotten to take pictures of the food I was going to post about ... and I haven't yet read the article I was going to post about. So instead, I'm going to give some link love to another food blog that I recently came across.

Confessions of a Restaurant Whore is mostly restaurant reviews with some other San Francisco and food related posts. I love anything to do with food, and anything to do with restaurants, and anything to do with ... well, with whores it's not automatic love, but you'll definitely get me to pay attention.

I loved perusing the archives of this blog, because not only has Ms. Whore eaten at some old favorites but she has reports on places where I dream of someday having the pleasure of dining.

So while you may have to wait to understand the fabulousness of my new camera, which comes with its very own special "FOOD" setting (although so far, I have mostly taken pictures of myself with the miraculous "SOFT SKIN" setting--I love you, soft skin setting! And yes, I am a narcissist, thanks.) And you will have to wait to get cooking tips from the indie rock world, but you can easily spend a day perusing the Restaurant Whore's dining guide.

RESTAURANT: Pinkberry

So I finally tried this famous (infamous?) yogurt shop that has begun the conquest of Los Angeles. The yogurt that is called "crackberry" by many. What the L.A. Times calls "the yogurt that launched a thousand parking tickets" due to the notoriously bad parking situation in its original location and its customers tendency to wait in lines for hours. It's the newest thing, taking the place of cupcakes, it seems. It's a rebirth of the frozen yogurt fad of the late '80s, but this time it's different. This yogurt is different. So, my lazy ass might be persuaded to go there, even though it's outside my 2 mile radius of things around my apartment. If it's really that good, I would go the extra .1 mile. But I would not go the extra .1 mile, AND have to go crazy trying to find parking AND then have to wait in life until my hairs turn grey. Nothing is that good. But now there's one I can walk to, and the line is not that long, so we decided to try...

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute. From now on most of my Los Angeles centered posts will be done there, and linked to from here, in order to avoid duplication. My first post is on my morningtime friend, Groundwork Coffee (as promised to Jeremy and my sweet Auntie). You can read it here: I'll Have the Works . Tags: LA.FOODBLOGGING
