Here is my sister Chloé, Queen of all foodies, making fantastic bread.
Nathan asked what a foodie is, so for the general betterment of mankind, I hereby offer you a public explanation:
A foodie is a food lover, someone who loves food but not only fancy gourmet foods, anything that makes your taste buds happy. The word can be used in a sentence such as: ``Sasaki san is a foodie, therefore he is my friend, Tanaka san on the other hand does not enjoy food, what a boring chump``
Here is the Wikipedia definition:

Foodie is often used by the media as a conversational synonym for gourmet. The word was coined synchronously by Gael Greene and by Paul Levy and Ann Barr, co-authors of The Official Foodie Handbook (1984). But there are important distinctions to be made between the two terms. Some gourmets would not consider themselves foodies and many foodies would not consider themselves gourmets. A foodie might easily get caught up in a taco hunt—a search for the best taco stands and trucks in an area. But this would not be an adventure for a gourmet, strictly speaking. Generally speaking, a foodie is a person who has a special interest in food, even foods that a self-identified gourmet would turn his or her nose up at.

The great thing about foodies is that they tend to be happy laid back people, and even if they have no conversational skills, you can always sit down with a foodie and enjoy a good meal in silence, smiling, because it tastes so darn good...
