Foodie blogs.... how clean do they *really* keep their counters???

One of the reasons I don't post more pix of my own cooking exploits.... I read some foodie blogs. And they always have these fantastic pics of everything.

I actually cleared off my counter this weekend as it became hard to even fit a cutting board on there with all the unopened bottles and jars and things I had just not found a place for (and most of them found a place in the "jar' cabinet, shoved in as best as I could to prevent a canned food avalanche). C'mon. I still have yet to open the Jalepeno mustard that made a guest appearance around here when I posted some pics.

I know Rosie Hawthorne keeps a neat prep and cooking surface, but I can't. Or don't. Or just am not doing lately. I don't have it in me.

I know Rosie isn't.... but are the rest just shoving things out of camera view, or relocating them to another room for the photo shoot...... or am I that bad of a hausfrau that I let that stuff pile up some times??
