”Hmmm, so this is what sensual means…”. I could hear his voice .

okay fine …I didn’t torture my husband by blindfolding him as he ate his lunch. You see, we both underwent a sensual experience with eight utlimate mouth-watering dishes from Serye Restaurant.

I was blindfolded myself when I took a photo of my husband as he participated in the first ever Food Writing Class at Serye Restaurant.

Poor Sexy Mom is in a dilemma as she contemplates on the food she just tasted.

serye

and so with the other foodie bloggers.

So why did I subject myself to such torture?

The truth is my Food Photo Blog lacks creativity and excitement. I started this food blog a year ago because my photo gallery receives so much hits and well, Google adsense income. Thanks to organic search hits from Filipino-Americans , my food blog ranks well in most keywords. It embarasses me that I don’t come up with quality writing. I just place photos and short captions. To make matters worse, I get invited to food events. I don’t need to write about these events but I want to because it means more quality content for my food blog. The problem is I don’t know how to do a food review.

Thanks to Jayvee’s intiative, the first blogger food writing and photography class was launched yesterday.

I dragged my husband to the workshop so he could co-write in my Food Blog. Was it torture for him?

    Wow, ibang klaseng workshop ito, from the looks of your photos, ah. Hmmm. I should ask you guys about starting up a food blog, hehe.

    But wait, if I only know how to appreciate good food but do not know how to whip up a mean dish, will I ever get to have a food blog? Maybe that’s a stupid question.

    @jane- yes a different kind of workshop. You can start a food blog and it doesn’t necessarily mean that you cook. You can blog about the dining places you have been to.

    this just gave me an idea. the workshop does sound interesting, i’d love to make it next time. food blogging? why not?

    thanks for visiting!

    @Liz- a food blog is always interesting. Even pictures of street food can be captivating.

    Wow, what a cool idea. I wish I could’ve gone to a class like that. I like to blog often about food, but usually… ehrr, I’m not actually “food blogging” in the normal way like others. Food is usually a metaphor for the real (sometimes cryptic) topic. Those entries are usually my biggest hits.

    FOR EXAMPLE, STRAWBERRY KISS. ;)

    Sounds like a very exciting experience Ate Noemi. ;) I might even join you in starting a food blog.

    Hi, Noems! Please tell Butch that I enjoyed reading about his food-tasting experience (and his memories) — and liked it so much that I forwarded your links to Pearl Parmelee, a friend who helps promote Mama Sita products here in the US.

    love,

    Lorna

    P.S. Eating good food is truly a sensual experience!

    even when you yourself were blindfolded you knew when to shoot the right moment–my momentary loss. it was indeed a sensual experience. i hope to come up one of these days with my own food blog, as what you have been suggesting to me. thanks for the idea.

    that picture of Butch–it’s a very good one!

    That looked like fun.

    @fruityoaty- that’s why I had a food blog because I noticed it gave me income. I didn’t want to clutter it here.

    @KK- yes start a food blog!

    @Lorna- I will tell butch. yes tell Pamela, the Reyes family is still making waves

    @sexymom-i was just randomnly taking shots then by luck, i got the best shots

    @Kongkong622:- super fun. It was an adventure.

    It was definitely a great experience. And besides the workshop, it was really nice meeting celebrity bloggers like you and sexy mom :)

    I have yet to write my own experience though. Your husband did a great job with his composition.

  • http://aboutmyrecovery.com Noemi

    @jen- it was also my pleasure meeting you, Hehe I am lazy to write mine.

    hi wow that’s exciting, eating food while you’re blindfolded. i would like to try that also. im a food addict (and a critic too). i soooo love to eat anywhere and anytime. but i always ask what’s the ingredient of every dish before i eat.
