Julie & Julia

Last night my Bestie and I went to see Julie & Julia .

I have been waiting for this movie to come out since the very first time I saw the previews.

As a young child and teenager I have such fond memories of watching Julia Childs cooking shows on PBS. Even at that young age I was fascinated by process of taking seemingly simple ingredients and turning them into works of culinary art.

During the entire movie I laughed, smiled and visually ate each and every recipe that was prepared.

I felt connected to both Julie & Julia as they struggled to find their way and voice in this world. Something that I, myself am trying to do.

I walked away from the movie not only visually stuffed but inspired.

" Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it"- Julia Child

" The only time to eat diet food in when your waiting for the steak to cook"- Julia Child

" The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a What the hell? attitude"- Julia Child

" In spite of food fads, fitness programs, and health concerns, we must never loose site of a beautifully conceived meal "- Julia Child
