Food blogs are like squirrels. They’re cute and all, until they raid your garden. Then you get angry and get a dog to chase the squirrels. But it doesn’t work because then you have a barking dog and the squirrels are up in the trees laughing at you and your little damn dog.
The best you can do is sit back and laugh when the stupid squirrel runs off with the ripe tomato and buries it. Because a tomato is not a nut. It won’t be there next year or even next week. Or it won’t be there in the same condition. Rotted, maybe. Or, in the right season, it will sprout and grow.
Until the lawnmower viciously chops it to bits.
How does this relate to food blogs? The same way some blogs relate to good food. Tenuously, sometimes. Humorously, maybe. Randomly, randomly.
Hi there,
My name is Rose Walton and I am currently working at Fresh One Productions on an exciting new Channel 4 TV programme for this Christmas season!
For this series we are looking to hear all about people’s Christmas dinner disaster stories. We want people to send in their videos so we can make a compilation of Christmassy cookery cock-ups. Our chef will then show us how to avoid them forever more. The top ten will feature the funny, the tragic, the stressful and the very familiar.
The reason I am contacting you is that we would love to contact women who may have stories of Christmas mishaps and I wondered if we could possibly post something on the website.
We would love to get the word out to as many people as possible and I would be so grateful if you could help in anyway. You can contact me via email or on +44 203 375 5134
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you,
Rose
