Julie & Julia

This past weekend, my sweet husband let me pick a chick flick to watch what a sweetie! With no kids for the weekend and the Christmas shopping done and before the last min. I may add we sat down to enjoy a wonderful movie. Julie & Julia I loved it. If you can watch that movie and not get inspired to cook that you have to be the worst cook ever. I would love to have the french cookbook by Julia Child, if anything to make Beef Bourguignon, JD says why, it looks like beef stew to me......what does he know.

I love how a movie can inspire you to do something. Like when you watch Save the last dance, you want to become a dancer, or The wedding planner you want to become a world famous wedding planner and then there is Julie and Julia, I wanted to just get up and cook. I did make covered pretzels (I'm sure Julia Child never made them, to easy) and I made from scratch Homemade mint patties, my Grandma Hamilton's famous secret recipe.

I know I will never become a world famous wedding planner or Chef, but it is nice to dream about it.
