Butter, Butter, Butter!

You are the Butter to my Bread. The Breath of My Life.

I have joined the bandwagon of the Julia Child/Julia Powell fanclub.
I have to admit, I was tempted to ignore the rows of the 'based on two true stories' movie adaptation staring at me from the Blockbuster shelves. The movie preview seemed a little lame. But my love for food, wine, and adaptations made me choose otherwise.

Let's just say I'm glad that I did.

From Amy Adams and Meryl Streep's wonderful portrayals of these two very real characters, to the fabulous recipes and my favorite, Boeuf Bourguignon. I was thorougly entertained the entire time.

[Which amongst completion of the movie, I decided I will--myself--take up that recipe and complete it before 2010 begins. Wish me luck, I am anxious.]

After spending quite over an hour looking up both the real Julia Child and her counterpart Julie Powell, from YouTube [find a silly 'Julia Child Talks to Chickens' episode, look it up!)to Google Images, Oprah to Amazon, I feel like I know these two women a little bit better. I was really pleased with the overall movie, even the director, who's book I'll have to read as well.

Julie Powell has continued her blog career and has herself a 'blogspot' at juliepowell.blogspot.com

I have also decided to cook more, love more, and wait for it, BLOG more.

So be on the lookout for more posts, friends. Considering, If there is anyone out there. I invite you, no, dare you: Read on.

BON APPETIT.
