Currently watching The French Chef re-runs on PBS - must be Julia Child weekend! Saw the movie Julia & Julie last night with a packed audience, laughing and crying - emotions of all colors, even anger at a poorly aimed projector that left the characters headless for an ensuing 5 minutes and set the audience fuming in what felt like the beginnings of the French Revolution!
Having read both Julia & Julie and the Julia Child biography My Life in France (I would highly recommend!) it was fun to watch Meryl Streep capture the jubilant spirit and passion of Julia, with many enthusiastic Bonjours and much tottering around intoxicated by life!
If only all of life's problems could be solved with a home cooked rotisserie chicken or the perfect souffle, a book deal and a major motion picture contract! Cest la vie!
Bon appetite!
