Too Lazy to Post, but Never Too Lazy to Eat...

After about a year of food-blogging the inspiration to eat-and-tell comes and goes for me, and lately it has gone on extended vacations quite often. However, I still look forward to my first meal of the day, dining out as often as possible, shopping for kitchenware, gadgets and groceries, bookmarking eateries, gourmet/unusual/exotic food web stores, and photographing everything I eat. So what's the deal?

I wasn't so sure myself why I was growing less and less inspired to regurgitate my experiences. Have I become jaded to the point that the process of food blogging had nullified my once ambitious habit?

Am I just lazy? Too dull for words? Have I...

...outgrown food blogging??

Maybe. But, not in the sense that I've outgrown food blogging like someone outgrows a pair of skinny jeans (well, sometimes but that's just in the winter. Usually.). But, in the sense that I have grown out of the desire to use food blogging as an energizer or a daily therapeutic outlet. Instead, I went back to my roots and brought dance back into my daily life by reinventing my creative outlet in the form of an interpretive dance movement called hoopdancing. It's been about a year and a half that I've poured my heart and soul into this wonderful thing that, though I still eat plenty - believe me - I now find more satisfaction in sharing my energies through hoopdance [performances, classes, Sundays at the park, at home with the sound system blasting, and customizing handmade hoops].

But before you think I'm bidding adieu to food blogging, sincerely I'm not, this is merely the truth behind my lack of completing any writings on time though I have embarked upon many following a vast of culinary experiences. Instead, this is a peek into the person behind the Urban Epicurean. The kind of person who still has tantalizing trips to Ireland, a 30th birthday consisting of a road trip to San Francisco with my husband to blog about. Yep, I know, at the rate I'm going - or, not going - by the time those get posted it will have already been so 2007.

Now, please allow me to draw the curtains and reveal some of my back-logged posts. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I tasted every morsel as it was enjoyed as an inspiration in those very moments.
