A Must See

Have you seen this movie?

Cover of Julie & Julia

If not, you must. It's called Julie and Julia, and it is so good. Mr. Perfect and I both loved it. Amy Adams is so cute, and Meryl Streep played Julia Child perfectly. It was inspiring on multiple fronts and just plain entertaining. One day, if we ever build this house we've been talking about so I can get my kitchen things out of storage, we've decided we're going to buy a copy of the book and try to work our way through it.

Here's a link to the Julie/Julia blog, where it all started. Nobody here but us servantless American cooks...

My First Post

I've been trying to think of some clever thought to post for my very first blog entry, but it seems that I've drawn a blank (had too many glasses of wine). So, I'll just pretend that I've been doing this for years and go with it. I know it's summertime and all, but I just cannot get over how hot it is here in South Georgia! Really, how am I supposed to meet my future great friends if every time I walk out of the house I'm a mess? It's so humid here that every bit of makeup slides right off my face before I can walk across the driveway to the golden chariot (mini-van). My only consolation is the knowledge that my wonderful future friends are the kind of quality gals that will understand, because their makeup has also slid off of their faces. I guess there's always the ten weeks of winter that I'm told will begin around Christmas when I can stop perspiring (sweating like a pink pig) and really "shine."

I just read about a great super-cute apron giveaway on another blog, Five Great Kiddos. Here's the link: http://fivegreatkiddos.blogspot.com/2010/07/not-your-grandmas-apron-giveaway.html You should definitely check out her blog.
