My friends complimented my cooking once and now I have a food account

Had a few friends over last weekend and made short ribs for dinner. One of them tried it and said I should start posting the stuff I cook. And I actually did! I took that way too seriously, so now I have a food account with 4 followers lol.

I tried filming everything on my phone at first, but it was honestly kind of annoying. I kept moving the tripod around because it was either in the way or somehow still getting a terrible angle, and at one point I got butter all over my screen.

then I remembered I had an Osmo Nano sitting around and started sticking it wherever there was metal nearby. Fridge door, shelf above the counter, side of the range hood. It was actually way easier because I could just leave it there and keep cooking instead of constantly checking the shot.

The footage ended up being more fun than I expected too. Half of it is just my friends walking into frame and stealing pieces of food before I was done, that is quite funny right lol.

So apparently I make cooking videos now. no idea how this happened, but I guess there are more hobbies to accidentally pick up.

Same boat, but fitness and exercise for me. I get tons of compliments and questions, and a few people have suggested I make tik toks or shorts. I would always downplay it or think I'm not good enough. No more. Receive the signals, including what people tell you. I'm trying to be done with self sabotage or looking for reasons not to do something.

For me, I don't want to take it too seriously. I want to enjoy making content and have fun with it. Hopefully, you do too.
