Julia Child / Julie Powell

   So today I watched this movie called Julie and Julia. Half way through the movie, I went out to buy some groceries and cooked the rest of the afternoon and continued with the movie in the evening. I was that inspired! What a wonderful woman Julia Child is; and what a wonderful life Julie Powell had. It was messy, yes. But I couldn't help but LOVE her passion, her little apartment and her perfect family! And Julia Child.. Oh! She was divine if I must say! Meryl Streep is legendary! The was she moves, her clothes and the way she relishes everything she eats and the best part is the way she says "bon appetite" I just loved it. Honestly, the best part of the movie was the fried fish, the chocolate pie and Meryl Streep as Julia Child.
This is my project. Not to follow a book and cook every day but at least once a week and finish this blog no matter who reads it! I started this blog due to one incident and I want to continue till the same date next year. I guess its a ritual of my own. I'm not sure. But for once, I want to finish something that I started too. And cooking is the only I can connect. Its the only field in which I make sense and the only field I can actually make an attempt to expertise in. Ha, I'm so inspired!

The real Julia Child. 

And, if you think you cant cook, you must watch this movie. It'll make you believe you can. Cooking is not a talent you're born with. Anything for the matter, is not a talent you are born with. You adapt to it and grow with it and then become an expert. This is what my music teacher taught me. Heck, I still cant sing, but can at least get the notes right now! I said this because I had a couple of people come to me and ask how I do it and that they cant even make toasts, well, they cant because they didn't try hard enough. Right?
If I can mix eggs, sugar, cocoa and butter and bake a cake, so can you :)
