Help, I’m Married To A Blogger!

Hi Friends!

Since so many of you enjoyed Mr. Bean’s writing in last week’s post, we thought we’d bring him back more frequently! Today he’s here to share a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be married to a blogger.

Take it away Mr. Bean!

Ever wondered what it's like to be married to a blogger? My husband gives you a candid look! Bloggers- do you think your significant others can relate?

The Bean wasn’t always a blogger, or a dietitian, or even someone who knew much about cooking. I remember back when we thought we were a big deal for trying to cook salmon (is it done? It’s still pink. Well, it was pink when we started!).

However, as time progressed, so did Bean’s interest in the culinary arts and enhancing our diet. I was on board, because I like to eat. I can trace the origins back to a particular summer – 2007- where we would come home from work, open the windows and cook together listening to the new smash hit John Mayer album “Continuum”. The cats would lay on the window sill scanning for birds (this was in the time B.D.- Before dogs), we could hear the calm, constant sound of the apartment complex fountain- ‘Gravityyyy, is work-ing, against me-e-ee’… Anyways, I digress. Bean was reading a lot of cookbooks, and things were getting more adventurous. We made rice (the amount of water matters we quickly found out). Hell, our sophisticated palates probably even tried a Merlot! She had started making charts of what we were going to eat each week . The food was getting better. Bean would read an article about nutrition labels, then the food got less salty. We should eat this, not that. And then the magic started. Bean would photograph the night’s dish, share the photo on Facebook , and the pandemonium began! “What’s that?” “Looks delicious” “Recipe, please.” …. And after this trend continued for a few years, the murmurs and buzz around Bean reached a fever pitch. Then point of no return… “Babe, you should start a blog.” [GASP]

The rest is history. Let’s fast forward to present day. I’m “the hubby” in the juggernaut blogger household of The Lean Green Bean (I helped create that name BY THE WAY), but what you don’t know is that there’s a secret, behind closed doors, darker side to a blog household. I suffer in silence. There are probably other “hubbies” out there that suffer as well, and this post is for you my comrades- my silent band of brothers. We will be silent no more. Today I share the things they didn’t want you to know about, the issues that have been swept under the rug. Let me shine my light brightly as we tackle the gritty issues of being a blog hubby!

Ever wondered what it's like to be married to a blogger? My husband gives you a candid look! Bloggers- do you think your significant others can relate?

1) Cardboard: A corrugated nightmare

A blog household makes frequent use of UPS, FedEx, and the USPS. Lots of samples, giveaways, etc. make their way to this house, which while appreciated, creates a staggering amount of cardboard and packing materials. You would be blown away by what goes into shipping Chobani. You could probably ship human organs with the same setup. I’m thinking about starting my own spin off business, The Lean Green Recycling Center. I’m pricing bundlers and it may be financially viable. On a particularly high volume day I may have trouble getting in the front door there are so many cardboard boxes lying around. And guess who has two thumbs and breaks them all down (points to self with his thumbs). This Guy.

2) Mad Props (and not the kind given for a job well done)

Ramekins, Cloth Napkins, Mason Jars, Pitchers, Glasses- Let me tell you folks, we aren’t that fancy. This isn’t just normal stuff we eat off of day to day. These so called “props” have spilled out of the cabinets, to stacks on the counter, and now to their own dedicated four shelf baker’s rack that I purchased and assembled. You might even trip on some navigating your way through the photo studio that is our house (the light is particularly choice in the living room). Let’s just say World Market and Pier One love it when the Bean swings through.

3) Experiments – Welcome to our Lab

“Uh, babe, are you aware there’s a mason jar full of little green things that appear to be growing?” Apparently those were sprouting lentils, which were ultimately a success. I don’t really question these things anymore, but it’s not all perfection in a blog household. Lots of trial and error creates the wonderful items that the Bean will post. I will often find full batches of muffins or other various goods in our trashcan. Every once and a while I’ll swoop in too early and go to take a bite of something on the counter and hear , “Don’t eat that, those are terrible!” I won’t even tell you what was in that jar in the refrigerator…

4) COLD FOOD

The pictures are beautiful, aren’t they? You can see the steam rising off the freshly prepared meal…. mouthwatering… In my world, I see it after it was on the floor for a quick pre dinner photo shoot, next to the panting faces of the begging dogs, after three or four photo attempts, then put back on the counter for dinner, but it’s cold, then we put it in the microwave and I can eat it after picking a dog hair off of it.

5) Twitter Envy

I didn’t really know what Twitter was when Bean signed up. Apparently you need it when you’re a blogger juggernaut. She gave me crash course and set me up with an account. I use it to get the news, or fire off the occasional complaint to a company. As far as connecting with people though, I have a bigger outreach when I open up the front door and yell out to our neighborhood. The Bean, however, presides over her thousands of adoring fans and can tweet for a book recommendation and get 20 responses within the hour. That’s the reality folks, I’m self-diagnosed Level 10 twitter envious. I Tweet what I think is a hilarious quip about this week’s “Biggest Loser” and 7 people probably read it who don’t even watch the show.

6) Unhealthy Instagram Interest

As a supplement to my social media woes, I have to admit Bean has created an Instagram monster, but not like you might expect. I like Instagram as much as the next guy and have my own account. It’s far less pathetic than my Twitter, but again, nowhere near Bean’s league. However, one day it dawned on me that I am a co-curator and analyst of Bean’s Instagram. I find myself guessing how many likes a photo will get. I suggest things for her to post. I’m a filter consultant. I make comments like “Wow, did you see how many likes that pic of the dogs got?” “I’ll bet this dinner will get 200 likes”. Who am I? What was life like before Instagram?

7) Blog Names as People

I’ve become a part of this blog world/community/culture unknowingly. It completely snuck up on me and took me by surprise. Bean can bring clarity to a conversation about fellow bloggers using their blog name and I will totally know who she is talking about. Shout out to Nutritionella, Cotter Crunch, Peanut Butter Fingers, Run Wiki, Food Fit and Fam,  A Healthy Slice of Life, Delights & Delectables and Olive to Run. Don’t feel slighted if I didn’t mention your blog, my unintended knowledge of food and health blogs runs much deeper. scary.

8) BUZZ! BUZZZZZ!

C’mon Bean , we get it, you’re popular. Silence that phone! Tweetbot, Instagram, Email, Facebook, WordPress, ARGH!!! The madness! I wake up in the middle of the night hearing phone buzzes. “Foodlikerperson123 liked your photo!” “Healthyperson1 shared your tweet”

AHHH!!!!!!

9) Bean in the Zone

Blogging is time consuming. Sometimes Bean is in the zone and needs pried away from her laptop with a crowbar. I talk to her and know she’s not listening. “Hey babe, I’ve taken up with a cult and am on my way out the front door to board the spaceship”. “That’s nice honey, can you proofread Bean Bytes first?”

10) Pain in the Grain

Whatever happened to rice? I liked rice. Rice was nice. But now I’m caught in a whirlwind of farro, wheatberries, and Quinoa. Quinoa is a bitch. It’s like the glitter from a greeting card or sand from the beach. It. Gets. Everywhere. If you can scoop cooked quinoa out of one container and put it into another without getting it all over the place, I want proof. Send video.

————

Is anyone with me?! AM I ALL ALONE? Set up your comment box and tell hubby to start typing. I’m here to commiserate.

[ok, ok, ok, no hate mail. I hope this came across in the slightly hyperbolic, satirical tone I intended. Bean is the best, I love her, she is my best friend, she’s super cool, nicest person you’ll ever meet, yada yada yada. BUT I RAISED SOME VALID POINTS- STAY STRONG HUBBIES!!!]

–Mr. Bean

PS. If you have questions for me, Mr. Bean, I’m an open book! Leave them in the comments and give you the skinny in a future post.

    HAHA oh man Jason can relate to many of these…he lets me know it quite often. Waiting to eat a meal until after I have photographed it is probably the top complaint I hear. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “Well, that looks really delicious! Too bad I have to wait until it’s cold and crusty before I get to eat it.” LOL good job Mr. Bean, this was a funny post!

    He also said imagine married to an Asian food blogger. When you see Asians taking food pictures, people normally think of “tourist”, not “bloggers”. He gets weird looks at restaurants, a lot! Lol.

    My hubby would completely agree with a lot of these points! He too, has about 30 followers and doesn’t use Twitter for much else than reading others’ tweets. I also can’t stand when he tries to talk to me while I’m blogging. I can’t think that way! He thinks it’s kind of funny though when my phone “blows up” with all the notifications. Twitter chats are the worst! Great post Mr. Bean!

Cold food, props galore, cardboard everywhere, social media alert central, identifying blog friends by blog names (Rob loves saying “You mean the Lean Green Bean?” and letting us get into the ZONE. It’s like you wrote this about our relationship too! It is so good, I even woke hubs up at 5:30am and read it to him fro my iPhone in bed. I’m sure Lindsay would have done the same.

Because we just had a discussion about why I came home from World Market with three little ramekins and two plates when we have a cabinet full of them already. DON’T QUESTION ME! I NEEDED THOSE! He’s going to put a moratorium on my blog-prop-spending limit, I’m sure. He also feels your hubby’s pain about cold food, kitchen experiments and failures and why our living room and my studio upstairs is overrun with props, napkins and lights every where. Thanks so much for sharing this. I had a good time reading, laughing and saying, “Crap. I think REB thinks that too..” whoops 😉 FOOD BLOGGERS UNITE!

    Quinoa really does get everywhere Mr. Bean. But even worse than that is the flour! It shows up in some of those most unsuspecting places, am I right? 😉 Lol.

    I think my dad and brother can relate to this perfectly. Cold food. Constant pictures. They have learned to accept it.

    I live with my parents still and I’m sure they can relate to much of what you’re saying. Starting with the cardboard. Yes my parents are always marvelling at how much cardboard the packages I receive and produce. And seriously, I wouldn’t be surprised if Chobani borrowed their packaging tips from those who ship human organs for transplants.
    I definitely refer to other bloggers in certain ways so that people can understand who I’m talking about. I also know a bunch of people named Kelly and have one blend named Kelly so around my parents I call her “Blog Kelly”. Around other bloggers I call her “The Cupcake” since her blog is called “Cupcake Kelly’s”. So funny.
    But I keep my experiments and “blogger food” to myself and my parents still eat what they want. So my dad has stuck with good old rice!

The last time I took the boxes to recycling, I had stacked my entire garage full of boxes…filled my 16′ trailer 6′ feet deep! I can’t be the only guy with Styrofoam coolers filled with ice packs or “special events” (yeah, we blew that up) when the dry ice shipped fish shows up.

    The most common question asked when looking at an yummy dessert is “have these been photographed yet?” Even our 10 year old knows to ask before taking a bite of ANYTHING.
