Finally got to see Julie and Julia tonight. It was amazing. I imagine folks who saw it without having read the book first were less impressed than I, but I loved it.
I’m reminded of the things that I am passionate about (food and books) and what I want to do with them. One day I will own my own bookstore/cafe.
There are several recipes I want to try now, including:
- Braised Cucumbers
- Boeuf Bourguignon (which I finally know how to pronounce now!)
- And even… Aspic. Okay, not really. I can’t imagine eating this.
I’m also filled with the urge to bone a duck. I don’t think that will be on my menu any time soon though.
But I do have a project in mind for 2010. One that combines the things that I love. This could be the start of something beautiful.
I did the braised cukes and they are wonderful! LOVED the movie!
Me too! They were pretty amazing.. even though I used about twice as much lemon as I really needed.
