As the baby of the family, I should be used to it by now but instead of the teasing toughening me up, it's just made me more self-conscious. I'm just going to get over it.

Do NOT let your family make you feel wrong about this. It takes a LOT of work and dedication to not only cook so much but to write it (and I KNOW how hard it is to take pictures of food and make it look good!) You do a fabulous job. I agree with the others, they're jealous. Let them mock what they don't understand. We all know the truth!

I don't know if your family members have any hobbies, but if they don't, then they need to get a life. I have THREE blogs: one general (part journal, part commonplace book, part art gallery for my work); one for my knitting/domestic arts; and one for poetry I write.

That's so unfair - and even more unfair is that they have made you feel bad. That's just not right. I read your blog regularly (never comment!) and have used a number of recipes from your sight.

No. Real people do not write. Unless they write for money. And writers have no other jobs and are insanely rich, there is no other kind.<BR/><BR/>(((Hugs))). Let them keep reading. And they will see, you DO have a life.

I've told my family about mine numerous times but I dont think any of them have even bothered to read it. What's wrong with having a hobby ( passion)?
