I usually start my mornings watching the “Today Show” as I get ready for work. About 80% of the time, Anne Curry, Al Roker and the gang make me feel awkward and uncomfortable with their deliveries, quirky comments and interruptions. Yesterday morning, The Today show gang emphasized how “mooching” is making a comeback as the new “smart way to save.” People across the country are creating new sites and blogs featuring food coupons, top ten lists of places to shop as well as creative tips on how to be a creative shopper. I recently came upon this week’s featured site, QueerInMySoup.com. This past week, the site has delivered in posting about great restaurant coupons and excellent resources for thrifty foodies. Here’s what the founder of the blog, Cogito, who wishes to remain incognito, told TNG about his new site:

There’s A Queer In My Soup” is a site dedicated to culinary news, restaurants, money saving food coupons, cooking, chefs, recipes, reality shows and everything in between — but filtered through blogger Cogito’s fuscia-colored strainer. Essentially, it’s the food section of the paper your mother warned you about.

Spawned out of love for cooking and any food-made-with-love, Cogito just couldn’t just his trap shut and just HAD to share his experiences with the world. Hence, the birth of QueerInMySoup.com. Join us each day as we observe theworld in all its fabulous, culinary splendor!!

All in all, I think Cogito’s blog provides a good foundation for queer foodies who want to look for fun new recipes and become fiscally healthy. The actual content of the site, however, often falls short and I find myself wanting more surrounding context and observations. If Cogito keeps posting and allows his love for “any food-made-with-love” to grow, this site could fulfill its mission more successfully.
