inspired by movie, inspired by book, inspired by blog, inspired by cook

So after watching Julie & Julia with H, I got really hungry afterward! [Click here to go to Julie Powell's original blog that started her adventure] Our conclusion (jokingly) was that since Julia Child and her husband ate so much butter and drank so much wine and still lived till their 90s, it would be A-OK for us to also eat and drink that much. LOL.

All kidding aside, it inspired me to try to make boeuf bourguignon, which I've always wanted to make anyway. So here goes! I hope mine comes out looking (and tasting) yummy like that photo.

P.S. The movie was pretty cute! Meryl Streep was amazing of course. I felt a little awkward in this one scene where Julia Child and her husband were about to get it on. But I digress. Amy Adams was super cute. I give the movie 4 stars because the food looked amazing and also helped me with my omelet flipping technique. Julie's husband in the movie was kind of annoying though. He had bad eating habits and would always eat with his hands and chomp on his food and talk with his mouth full. I guess it's a petpeeve. ;)
