International Food Bloggers Conference: Day Two Breakfast, Lunch, and a Writing Exercise
The conference thus far has been a learning experience both through the conference presentations but also the people I have met around tables enjoying food and drink during meal breaks. I'm about to take a walk because we have a two hour lunch break and I am a fast eater. But I wanted to leave just a couple of photographs from our carbalicious breakfast (the baked goods were delicious but I was left longing for some protein) as well as our wine and small plates lunch (small plates do add up... although I wish they added up to slightly more).

Finally, one of the highlights of the morning was Kathleen Flinn's "Writing with All Five Senses" session where she had us describe a lemon's touch, smell, appearance, taste and sound without using traditional words to describe the fruit (like "citrus"). I'll leave you with a picture of the lemon and let you try your hand at this writing exercise. Post below!
Disclaimer:
I get asked by readers if I am being paid to push products. The simple answer is no. In fact, most of the products I write about are ones I have found and purchased during my trips to the grocery store or on the road. Occasionally, a company will send a sample my way and if I believe the product will serve a need for my readers and I would buy the product myself, then I will share it with you. Sometimes I will write to a company after reading about it, if I believe it will help us lead healthier lifestyles. But even then, if the product doesn't pass my scrutiny, it won't make the screen of Uncovering Food. You can trust that every product or recipe posted here has passed through my lips, and that I wouldn't blog about it if it wasn't worthy of you... my favorite readers.

Thanks for writing about this. By the time i signed up it was sold out and it is in my backyard. So nice to see pictures.
It's great to visit the conference vicariously through your photos. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the pictures and brief captions. I wish I had the time and energy during the conference to write more about what was happening but the tweets and photos and captions were the best narration I could do. I do have pages of notes but I'm not sure how much sense they make out of context :o)
