A social experiment
I’ve already asked some friends, fellow barbecuers and fellow bloggers to help me out with an experiment I have in mind, but I decided to open this up more.
The experiment is simple to do and won’t lead to any immoral or illegal acts in and of itself. The rules are simply to photograph every meal, and, yes, I mean every meal, for one week, starting October 1 and going through October 7, 2007. That’s about it (but not quite).

I know some people don’t have anything more than a cup of coffee or a Mountain Dew for breakfast; if that’s the case, take a picture of it. I’m not going to plan my own meals around this, so you may see me showing a meal of which I’m less than proud to have eaten!
Also, I don’t care if the photos are great. Some people are traveling; a phone with a camera will work fine. I don’t care if the meal is an Egg McMuffin or a six-course tasting menu… This is meant for fun, not “I eat better than you”!
After the week is over, my wife will select a day (Oct 1-7) and a meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner). I’ll post on here what the results are, and that’s when the fun begins:
* Send in the photo of that meal and only that meal. I may or may not retouch the photos if I think it will help show the meal better, though if you don’t want me to retouch it, just say so.
* If you aren’t shy, send in a photo of yourself. It can be goofy or serious, just not lewd or it will be ignored.
* Give me a description of the meal. This can be as simple as what you ate or as detailed as the circumstances around the meal. Whatever you want to share about that meal is just fine. The idea isn’t to show off what you eat, just to show wh
The email to which to send is cmcadams (at) buckymcoinkumsbbq (dot) com (I am being cryptic to avoid the aliens trying to strip out my email address to send me home refinancing offers).
Depending on how many participate, I’ll either show everything at once or split it up into several entries. Continue reading
Blog day, August 31, 2007
Today is the third Blog Day of 2007. In the spirit of Blog Day, I’m listing 5 non-food blogs that I like.
Blog Day 2007
The first, inspired by yesterday’s Scotch whisky entry, is The Scotch Blog, written by Kevin, a scotch enthusiast that lives in Virginia.
The next is a great photo blog of Labrador Retrievers… Labster. Some funny photos of my favorite dogs can be found here!
And one of my favorite non-food things… Buckeye Football!!! The Buckeye Blog is a great place for Buckeye football info.
My wife and I are fans of the show “Scrubs” on NBC, going into its final (sadly) season. Zach Braff plays JD on the show, and has a fun blog.
And my last blog link for Blog Day is for a hobby that I’m hoping to develop a bit… PhotographyBLOG.
Take some time and visit the links… There’s good stuff out there! Continue reading
