my tumblr followers have been previously warned, through my use of the "#erika is obsessed with cheese" hashtag, that I take my cheese really seriously. I buy about a brick a week of Cabot 24-month Vintage Super Sharp Reserve Cheddar. Literally part of the reason I moved to Vermont is for GOOD CHEESE. so, I eat chèvre with water crackers, with a mild cheese to balance it on a bagel, on sourdough bread, yeah - but if you look how complicated my pizza cheeses are, you understand why I spend like half my monthly food budget on cheese. Good cheese make any shitty half-assed college meal taste like heaven.



ALSO: I would be super-interested in getting any other dwellars to give a one-week look at their diet - not for the same reason as me (to shame me into eating better) - but to figure out what different folks in different lifestyles do for their food. sort of an informal social poll. Start your own thread and maintain it for a week if you're willing - disclose anything from your favorite food of the week to everything you consume, there's no pressure. My rules for MY thread are, I post every MEAL and SNACK and one bottle/can of each DIFFERENT beer I drink each day for a week. Your rule can be whatever you want to say. I know that my diet is pretty stereotypical for the 21-year-old new-england liberal-arts pinko queer college student. But I bet Brits have no IDEA what "21-year-old new-england liberal-arts pinko queer college students" eat day-to-day - any more than I have any CLUE what british people my age eat (LOL FISH AND CHIPS AND CURRY RITE?!), let alone what other age brackets eat in different parts of the UK or the US.

If you want to set up anonymous accounts with your geographic region, i'm sure the mods would be happy not trying to "out" you. But I'm super curious who else wants to start a foodblog week. I think it will not only stimulate those of us doing so to think about what we eat, but I think it will help every Dwellar understand a little more about how other age groups, geographic groups, national groups, etc live their day-to-day lives.
