This weekend was the Foodista.com International Food Bloggers Conference.  We helped out with breakfast on Saturday (gluten free and vegan items provided by Udi’s and also PCC).  I attended the same conference last year, and was able to stay for part of the day Saturday this year (missed the food photography session with Penny De Los Santos, darn it). 

It was quite interesting, being amongst people who blog for a hobby and/or a living (or a supplementary paycheck at least, it takes a lot of work to make a living from food blogging).  In a way, it looked like a classroom - rows of tables lined up with almost everyone having a laptop, and a quiet murmur of keys clicking while people took notes and ”passed notes” on twitter, etc.  Lots of really nice cameras floating around too. 

It’s nice to see so many people putting a passion for food to work in a personal and creative way.  It kind of goes back to food and its production being an integral part of community, and blogging just added another piece to that.  Every now and then, take some time to branch out in your blog reads, and find some food blogs you might like.  We’re partial to those that have information, facts and stories ourselves, not to mention wonderful photography.  If you come across something really interesting, let us know- we just might add it to our read list. 

Have a great week everyone!
