A Career in Food…

Back in the day people went to culinary school for one thing, to become a chef and then go work in a restaurant with the hopes of opening your own one day. But now days there are many avenues you can go in the food industry. And if that is your hope, then I have a book for you. Some people think there is money in food blogging, I can assure you that is not the route to go. I personally lose money every month on this blog. It cost more to run it than the revenue I make. Which back when I was married was fine because the income wasn’t needed, but now has me seriously wondering how long I can continue to do this. My point is don’t start a food blog thinking you are going to make money and get a book deal. I didn’t start this blog for that. But there are other avenues that you can do, and even better that you can do part time while you get your feet wet so to speak. Starting a Part-time Food Business by Jennifer Lewis shows you how to do just that. The book features real life … [Read more...]

Minty fresh…

Now before you read the Dear Peabody and think, oh no, here we go again…It’s not a mean one. It’s actually nice and quirky…just how I like them. :) “Peabody- You may have noticed a donation for $57.28 and wondered why that amount? Seeing as I use your recipes often I figured I would gladly donate to you but how much was the question. So I tried to think of you as a cookbook. You have many pictures on your site and so I priced your cookbook at $40. But I am frugal and would have bought it on Amazon. I looked at most books at that price set and they ran $26.40. Which I added on my tax for the book making it $28.64. I would buy my mother one as well. She enjoys your site but is afraid to buy things over the Internet. So two cookbooks at $28.64 gets you $57.28. I figure in a year I’ll give you another $57.28 as I know you have more than enough recipes on here for more than one cookbook. Though please update your index! All the best. Love your site. Love your humor. Love … [Read more...]

Repost: Sorry this went away…site upgrades

What makes a person healthy? According to Rush Limbaugh apparently it’s being a supermodel. Now I actually call Crazy Cocker Spaniel a supermodel because she is blond, not real bright, tall for her breed, and throws up her food often.  If she was a chain smoker who snorted a little coke I could probably get her an agent. So I find it interesting that Rush uses supermodels as the model for a healthy woman. Apparently who isn’t a healthy woman and who isn’t practicing what she preaches is Michelle Obama. Now I tend to steer clear of politics on here and this isn’t really a political thing, but I don’t see how someone with Michelle Obama’s guns (arms for those not in the know…aka my mom) can’t be healthy.? You don’t get those sitting around doing nothing. On one hand, Limbaugh said, she is encouraging children to get healthy and eat “roots, berries, and tree bark” but was recently seen enjoying a high-calorie meal of fatty ribs. First off, why are people getting … [Read more...]
