Eating Her Heart Out

Apologies for the long delays between posts. I've been traveling (more on that to come) - but now I'm back and promise to resume being a diligent blogger.


Speaking of dedicated bloggers, I just read Julie & Julia, the story of a woman in NYC who decides to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking in one year - and blogs daily about her successes and failures. She accomplishes this feat in a tiny NY apartment kitchen. As she turns 30. While her husband tries to prevent her from having a complete mental breakdown.

As someone who watches the Food Network for hours on end, who has coped with a 2' x 2' NYC apartment kitchen, who subjects her husband to bizarre recipes, who tries to remain faithful to her blog and who (confession alert!) just turned 30, I can completely relate to Julie Powell. I finished the book wishing I could have joined one of her midnight dinner parties - except, perhaps, when calves' brains were on the menu.

The book comes out this week in paperback. Highly recommended!

Was it really 2' by 2'? Cooking in a space like that is no mean feat!

Thank you, for getting something new and saluting the irrationality of this story, hopefully it will be useful, so that this life is more useful and useful for others. Cara Mengatasi Batuk Disertai Sesak Cara Mengobati Parotitis Cara Mengatasi Gejala Tipes Cara Mengobati Kaligata
