…you don’t eat lunch in the staff lounge with your co-workers because the lighting in there isn’t nearly as good as it is at your desk, and you need to get some pictures. :-)

(also, I love the apples in your centerpieces, you’re kind of a genius)

This is one of the best posts like this I’ve seen. So funny.

You know you’re a food blogger when your pantry is more than half full with foods normal people have never even heard of.

You spend 8 hours in the kitchen on your day off and wish you could do it everyday.

You count down the days to a new flavor release of Greek yogurt or LARABAR.

If you have time to waste, you can easily spend it walking up and down the aisles of Whole Foods reading lables and getting new ideas. :)

When you log on to your favorite food bloggers’ websites at 4:00 am to see the latest post, and read for an hour instead of typing your 3 page literature analysis paper (with outside sources required) that you haven’t started and it is due at 8:00 am.

You wake up from a nightmare in a cold sweat and scream out, “I’ve got to go back to the grocery store, I forgot (fill in your own Vegan food item here)!”

you know youre a (food) blogger when you spend precious free time at your computer, not outside.

and when you’d rather zone out at your computer to what someone in des moines ate by reading their blog rather than calling a friend on the phone and talking…LOL

You know you’re a food blogger when your camera has bits of food stuck in it. I always feel kinda gross when I have to hand it to other people to take pictures! :P

Looking forward to rooming with you in San Francisco!!

You know you’re a food blogger when your Mom calls to tell you that the Williams Sonoma catalog arrived.
