Bon Appe'tit

I recently have been on a reading roll.This is so very unlike me. I like to read, but mostly for entertainment. Once I find a book I usually "milk" the book FOREVER! In the last month I have read 10 books.This is why I have done almost nothing in the way of making anything or scrapbooking anything! So my 10th book is the above book Julie/ Julia. What a delightful book it was! I laughed, cried, and could not put it down. The story is about a temp Julia, who gets this idea to spend the next year cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French cooking, and then blogging about it. If you've ever opened a cook book and read a recipe only to find that you would have to go to 15 differnt stores to find this paticular spice,or you go out and buy all the ingredients for a paticular recipe, come home to make it, only to reread the recipe and figure out the thing has to marinate overnight? Then you will enjoy with this book. The author perserveres through the diffucult year with humor and alot of blood, sweat and tears.I bought the book after seeing the below trailer,the movie is actually based on this book AND Julia Child's Memoir My Life in France. Which i am currently reading, and also enjoying. Here's a couple of pictures from my recent trip to D.C. and the Smithsonian where Julia's entire kitchen is on display. Pause Playlist player at top right FIRST then play You Tube! Enjoy!

I'm Back!

Well I've been back since the 14th of June.Going away for 10 days was no easy feat!I cam ehome to piles of laundry and a dirty house. We had a blast weather was cool and we were fine with that. I'll give you some of the highlights: Disneyland is fun, but not like going to Disney World. We went on 2 studio tours, both were great, the Universal one was the best. Saw the movie Up, it is now my favorite Disney movie, and I don't say that lightly! I got a pedicure from the same woman that did Kate Gosselin's at the same hotel! Basically, for me a huge movie, and movie star fan, that was a great vacation! I loved the studio tours, and I owe it to my husband for making those dreams come true for me. Short of actually being on a set while it was being used for filming it was spectacular! I got to see costumes, props, walk the War of the World set that Tom Cruise filmed the airplane crash on. We saw working sets of Two and a Half Men, and walked the Central Perk set and took pictures! Drove down Wisteria Lane, and we went into a working soundstage. If you ever go the VIP tour of the Universal studio is the best. On this tour you really were a Vip for the day. We got to see and do things that the regular tour bus did not get to do. It is TOTaLLY worth every penny! I made a little smile box for you!
