But today that title is not meant to be political or even philosophical except when it refers to the fact that it is truly humbling to go to the theater to watch Julie and Julia only to come home and fix the Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff that was on that night's menu.
(La deep sigh.)
Loved catching up on my reading! Hubby just got home from grocery shopping - his Saturday morning tradition!! - and it's time to put the 'harvested foods' away! Have an awesome week-end!
ReplyDeleteDid you like the movie?
ReplyDelete"The film is a celebration of cooking as experienced through the eyes of Julie, a young woman yearning for a great life project, and Julia Child, the woman who introduced French cooking to America. Julie, happily married to her young husband, is trapped in a clerical position in which he finds no joy. She "borrows" her mother's copy of Julia Child's famed Mastering the Art of French Cooking and decides to cook all 524 recipes in Child's book over the next 365 days. The memoir is based on Julie Powell's experience of cooking through Julia Child's cookbook, blogging along the way. The film represents an acting triumph for Meryl Streep as Julia Child and the entire project represents a celebration of cooking as a lost art."

P.S We did like the movie, despite a few flaws in language, and I thought the portrayal of two strong, supportive husbands was interesting.
P.P.S Your Mom's dinner was also superb. She is a great cook

I like to watch cooking shows and I like to cook most of the time. But as we've became a household of two my "Susie Homemaker" has turned into "Donna Don't Cook". :-) I always had trouble listening to Julia Child talk. I guess more with my understanding of what she was saying. I'm more of a Paula Deen girl. Slather it with butter and cheese! That, I understand!
