Dear bloGGie diary,
I've been down with fever for 2 days now. Yep, that means 2 days off work. I know I should be happy somehow, bUt I feel like poopie missing out in action from the kitchen ='(I've watched Julie&Julia last night with Callie,sinCe I can't move much around the house,except make my own breakfast,take my med,and off to bed again >.<
It's a story revolving around Julia Child{The first woman who first introduced French Cooking to America} and Julie Powell, {a bloGger who blogs abOut her coOking adventure through Julia's cOokbook -Masterign the Art of French Cooking-}. It's a true story,btw. More like 2 true stories and how they intertwine. Check out her blog for more~
Though, Julie Powell.. she wasn't very happy with how Julie is in the movie. According to JulieP., she said that she's way tougher than the Julie depicted on screen,bUt maybe with that aura of fragile-ness that's being shown in the acting Julia, it creates the suspense of whether she can pull the Julie/Julia Project through~
Conclusion-ly,I love this movie to bits! ^.^ Thou shall watch it too when thou got time,ye~ This's how the cover looks like. ----------------->
Keep an eye out for it. ^.^
One thing that changed my way of thinking of cooking from Julia.. Is that you don't have to be in the norm, even in the cooking world.
Like how you cook something as simple as an omelette. Julia did it in a kind of a no-rules,but-please-follow-the-guidelines kinda way. Watch her video, and you'll know what I mean XD
She doesn't do it like how the super strict,pan-flying chefs cook their omelette. She's everywhere. seriously. She can just not want to use the pan and drop it off by the counter and the usage of hands.. oh,she uses lots of those. But you know what,I love her~ ^.^
She's definitely got her own style! With cooking and also how to go about her life. She's like this always joyous tall lady whose hard to hate,you know. And she is really adorable, the way she handles herself when she's in trouble. It's really nice to just watch her. No wonder her husband, Paul Cushing Child, has been so deeply in love with her, like
"The butter to my bread and the breathe to my life"
quoted,Paul Child.
He'd look at her as she cooks,lifting the spoon to her lips to taste the her newest concoctions for the day. He waited for her to finish her class in the mornings, to lunch together and make love afterwards,before she goes for her afternoon class. She's living "The Notebook" life,isn't she?
ooowh.. how envious I am of her. X)
welllllll,
I'm planning on getting some of her books. Which some are titled,
*Mastering the Art of French Cooking {Vol1}
*Mastering the Art of French Cooking {Vol2}
*The French Chef Cookbook
*From Julia Child's Kitchen
wonder how much all these 4 will cost XD shall start to save some cash now,ei bloGgie~ ^.^
saya nak pergi take a nap now. I think the flu med's taking it's effect now. zzzzzzzzz....
sleepy..
night~
.love.
