I thought it was necessary to explain my choice of the blog title. The choice of the word 'Food' is kind of obvious - I love to cook and eat (maybe eat more than cook :) and I intend this to be a blog about food I like to eat as well recipes that I have tried out in my little kitchen. Now, what is the significance of the word 'Cloud' you might ask. Well, I chose it for 2 reasons.
Reason 1: Cloud Computing. Yes, I am a Nerd!
For those of you who don't know me, I'm bit of a Nerd. I work in the field of Storage Networking or more commonly known as the 'Cloud'. In fact my entire work experience has been in this field and I feel a very strong sense of attachment to it. So when I thought of a way to link this to my passion - Food - I couldn't let it pass.
For those of you who don't know what the cloud means, it is basically the internet. When you upload photos to a website, it means, you are being 'loaned' some space on the site's Web Server, this is basically a service provided by the 'Cloud'. Same is the case when you write Blogs, share recipes, generate social content, etc.
Reason 2: I Live in Portland! Duh!
I live in Portland, Oregon (USA), and the city is almost perennially prey to overcast skies. So literally, I'll be food blogging from under cloudy skies.
Inspiration:
I have loved to cook for a long, long time and I have blogged in the past, so what inspired me now? Over the last 2 years I have been going over a few food and cooking blogs that I have fallen in love with. Some are simple recipes, some are artistic creations, some educate you on techniques, but they all have one thing in common, a deep appreciation for cooking and other cooks, be it amateurs or experts. So a Big Thanks to all you internet cooks out there! Here are a few food blogs I like:
Another practical reason is that I wanted a single online repository for all my recipes. My sister, Diya has always been pestering me for recipes and I always forget to type it up and send it to her. So hopefully I'll be good about updating my recipes here and she'll be only a few clicks away from my recipes.
Coincidentally, today is my Birthday, so it is a pretty good day to start blogging again :). Happy Birthday to Me!
