. . . well, Dena.
It doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, but it’s reality.
I saw the movie Julie and Julia and I found myself really, really hungry the whole way through it. The cooking and the recipes and the talking about food nearly put me over the edge.
My tub o’ popcorn just wasn’t doing it.
So I decided I’m going to be more adventurous and work my way through a rockin’ cookbook I have — Julie and Julia-style.
That’s the cookbook. Inside are gems like Steak Teriyaki, “Poor Man” Steak, Fuzzy Navel Steak, Sunday Night Steak, plus pork, seafood and chicken recipes, too. And sides. Lots of sides.
I HAVE to experiment with these, if not just for the names.
Now, I’m a real person with kids, a husband and a job and stuff. So . . . I don’t see myself working my way through the cookbook every night for a year like Julie did.
God bless her. I don’t have the stamina.
BUT, I’ll be cooking a bunch of these and I’ll share my photos and thoughts with you. Hint: the “Fuzzy Navel” one involves orange juice.
Cool!
Have YOU ever done what Julie in the movie did? How did you survive it? And are you better for it?
Let me know — and happy cooking!
