Moving

Already??

Ah-yup. I think the only reason I tried Blogger/Blogspot, and attempted submitting things to Tastespotting/Foodgawker, is that despite my whole 'newp, not a food blogger, newp' thing, for some reason I had one foot in and one foot out, or however that goes. Now that I've realised that, I'm just going to do what makes me comfortable and happy and relaxed, and that includes remembering that my audience is really just my friends and family, and switching back to Livejournal, a platform I'm really at ease using. I'm not a food blogger; who cares if I switch back to LJ :P

I really doubt anyone is interested in following me, but Mom and Dad and whoever else is here from Facebook and who will know about the change next time I post anyway haha, I am now here:

Adios!

Apple chips

This is a backlog entry.



Food doesn't have to be involved, complicated, or time/energy-consuming to be pretty or delicious.

Mini-lamingtons

Note: This is a backlog post.



Sometimes good things come out of silly mistakes.

Flourless Lemon Cake




Phew! Last post of the day, I promise! As this is a new blog, I wanted to get a little content on it to get it going. To end this posting spree, here's what I baked today. :)

Sneaky Blueberry Bran Muffins






"Sneaky" muffins? What now??

Date pops

Note: I'm going to be posting some "backlog" entries, in which I post stuff that I cooked/baked before I started this blog. It probably won't come all at once; the backlog entries will likely be scattered between "current" entries, and erm... I don't really know why I need to label/tag/separate them into backlog and current entries. I just like categorizing stuff? Don't judge me >.>

I decided to do my backlog, not in chronological order, but starting with a recent project that really gave me that feeling, for the first time, that I was doing something somewhat original. It's probably the one that made me think about starting this blog: date pops.






This picture makes me think that the bitten one is like the village elder of some strange candy-pop town, and all the others are clustered around him to listen intently. Why is the bitten date pop male? ... I don't know. He just is.

Introduction

Hello all, and welcome to my "not a food blog" food blog! I am Cam, a Chinese Malaysian university student studying in New Zealand, who has recently found a passion for making food (and taking pictures of the results.)

Why is this blog called "Not A Food Blog?"
Strictly speaking, this is a blog, and it's a blog about the food I make, so it should be called a 'food blog', right? However, I don't do proper food bloggy things. I just ramble and take pictures of food in a limited setting. No witty, eloquent stories, no great depth of knowledge and experience to contribute to the community, no lovely, gorgeous atmospheres and settings. It's just somewhere that I can comfortably share my food stuff with friends and family, and whoever happens to stumble across here. Thus, it is Not A Food Blog. :)
