I have some things I want to write about, but want to process everything in my mind, and organize my notes and thoughts first.
Being a "foodie", I found the meals at BlogPaws 2013 to be quite pleasing to the palate! My husband often teases me, saying that I can remember every meal I have ever eaten and can provide the dates and times that the meals were consumed. For those who have seen me that comes as no surprise!
So, feast your eyes on some of the bounty that was at BlogPaws 2013! Kudos to the Sheraton Premiere At Tysons Corner!

| The culinary delights began at the Nutrish (who was my sponsor) private dinner Wednesday night. Super delicious Tiramisu!! |
 |
| One of our delicious lunches! This is just a sampling of what we had to choose from on the buffet table. Garlic bread, salad, chicken, sausage and ravioli |
 |
| CHEESECAKE!! A BlogPaws tradition!! |
 |
| The Nose-to-Nose Awards Dinner Turkey, stuffing, Mashed potatoes in a Martini glass! There were toppings such as chives, mushrooms, and garlic to "top" your potatoes! I found the Thanksgiving cuisine to be a an unusual but brilliant choice. One, for the symbolism of giving thanks... Thanks to the BlogPaws and Pet360 team for all of their hard work making this conference a success! Two, giving thanks for being lucky enough to spend an amazing few days with some of the BEST people on the planet, PET LOVERS AND... Who DOESN'T like COMFORT FOOD? |
Cheesecake and mashed potatoes.

ReplyDeletethanks so much Clooney!! Food is important! You don't want to starve at a conference! I should be doing a post for tomorrow....gotta clear my brain out lol
DeleteTypical of my human: for the awards dinner, she topped her mashed potatoes with a generous helping of truffle oil and a BIG-ASS dollop of caviar! I wish she had packed up some of that turkey for me.
ReplyDeleteTruffle Oil????? I didn't see that!!!! Or the caviar! There was caviar?????!!
DeleteGosh, here I've just been jealous of folks getting to go and meet each other and learn so much good stuff... Didn't realize I should be being jealous about the food too! That all looks YUM!

ReplyDeletewell...if you have seen any of the photos on the web of me from BlogPaws and my Blimp-like appearance, it should come as no surprise!
DeleteLooks so good you're making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteWow - now that's some yummy looking human food if I ever saw it! My Mom says you made her hungry just looking at it and I have to guess you had a lot of fun EATING it too! :D
ReplyDeleteKitty Hugs, Sammy
Yep Sammy.....except for the FIVE POUNDS that I gained! ((((hugs))))
DeleteHow fun to get to relive BlogPaws through your food photos. I think the cheesecake was once again my favorite!
ReplyDeleteCheesecake was one of my faves too!
DeleteWow, that food looks terrific. Yummy. No wonder you had a good time. Take care.
ReplyDeleteyep food sure helps to make you have a good time. Food is a way of sharing love!
DeleteOh my goodness. Now I'm starving and longing for some mashed potatoes!
ReplyDeletehehehe!
DeleteI'll take that tiramisu! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so yummy. Best of all, someone else prepared it. LOL.
It was and you are right. I love to cook and cook nearly every day but I have to say it was GREAT getting a few days break from cooking!
DeleteWhat? No doggie bag for Max's Ma?!? Yum! Looks darn good and here I am doing The Biggest Loser at work...urr!
ReplyDeleteOh nooooo! I should have shipped it to you! Don't feel bad...I am in Weight Watcher's (but I haven't been there for 6 weeks...uh oh) I am busy "watching" my weight go up!
DeleteBiggest piece of cheesecake I could find and I ate it all. Two not one Danish at every breakfast. Cherries Jubilee! Geoff made a batch of cookies and I had six! I don't usually eat sweets because no one puts them in from of me, but given the chance...!
ReplyDeleteyou are so slim I am wondering where you put it? Two Danish? OMG!! I passed on the Cherries Jubilee.....thank goodness, as it is I gained 5 lbs that I most certainly DIDN'T have room for!
DeleteMom didn't have the cheesecake - she went for the chocolate. Agreed - the food was good..... Triscuit gave the turkey 4 paws up. :)
ReplyDeleteI am ALL about the cheesecake!!! Ohhhhh yessssssss the turkey was CATABULOUS!
DeleteYum! The tiramisu looks very good. Fun to hear about BlogPaws.
ReplyDeleteit was! I am hoping to post more tomorrow and I posted on Dakota's blog today!
DeleteOh! Yummmy! I LOVE good food and BlogPaws seems to be the place to go!
ReplyDeleteNellie's Mom
Absolutely!!! Do you think you can make it next year? Hoping so!
DeleteOh so yummy!!!!
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhh yesss!
DeleteTW will NEVER forget that turkey. She didn't know turkey could be so soft and moist. MOL. All in all it wasn't as bad as the food they served at the last Blogpaws she was at where she almost starved to death. She's just happy she skipped the pizza and ate out that night.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. That turkey was FABULOUS!!! I also agree that the food was MUCH better than the first BlogPaws I attended. I barely ate at that one too!
DeleteMy stomach is growling just looking at this ;)
ReplyDeletehehehe!
DeleteWe would have went just for that
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Benny & Lily shhhhhh.....don't tell........ME TOO! :)
DeleteLooks amazing! Sorry I had to miss it...even more so now that I see all the great meals!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you missed it too...you had better be there next year!
DeleteThose sure look like some delicious noms. We would have been happy to attend and share those with you. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
ReplyDeleteWish you could have been there, maybe next year?
DeleteWe thought the food was pretty good, too! That turkey was quite tasty, as was the fresh fruit with chocolate sauce! :)
ReplyDeleteI missed out on the fruit and chocolate sauce (fruit is too healthy lol)
DeleteOh yea, I heard that cheese cake was darn yum!!! Oh, and turkey, nobody brought any turkey home!
ReplyDeleteThe cheesecake was to die for!!! Yeah, Cody would have liked the turkey too but...allergies you know!
DeleteThe food looks delicious, especially the tiramisu.
ReplyDeleteOMG it was!
DeleteWow, the mom says your pictures make the food look even better than it was!
ReplyDeletewhen it comes to food...I'm all OVER IT! hehehe
DeleteO.M.C. Not ONE photo of a kitty BUT a whole post of food photos!!! We are speechless! MOL
ReplyDeleteThe fruit & chocolate sauce was our mom's fav.
about "not one photo of a kitty"....my dear furiend...I think it is BEST if we "don't go there......"
Deletehehehehe.........
Our mom liked the food, too. She also enjoyed meeting you and all the other crazy pet bloggers. We are enjoying some of the cat treats she brought home. We prefer cat treats to tiramisu, but we would have enjoyed some of that turkey...
ReplyDeleteMy Mom said she SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVED MEETING YOU!!!! She thinks your Mom is sweet and adorable!!! I can't have any of the cat treats, Mom didn't bring any home. Allergies :( Love, Cody
DeleteThe food (and the company) was excellent and lots of it! Since Coco was fortunate to be able to partake of the turkey, she also gave it her paw of appurruval! Teri said she missed having bacon and sausage for breakfast, though...
