“If you’re afraid of butter, just use cream.”

Is anyone else completely amped about the upcoming movie Julie & Julia?? I hadn't even seen the trailer, and I was speed-texting my friend, Pringles, about how we needed to see it. She and I are forever discussing recipes and foods and the like, so I figured she'd be a shoe-in to watch it with me.

Here's the plot synopsis: Julia is Julia Child. Enough said! Julie Powell is a real-life woman who decides to take on the challenge of making every recipe in Child's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She then wrote a book about her conquests, and it was made into a film.

I love cooking. I love Amy Adams. I love girly movies. Hip, Hip, Hurrah!!

Wow. Wow. Wow. What an amazing movie!

I had been interested in seeing this movie, but only because I knew that it was based on a real event, back in the 1920s. But, wow, I was blown away by how great it was. "Great" might not be the best choice of words; the whole story was heart-wrenching and incredibly moving. And never have I felt, as a woman, so grateful for living in the 21st century...If you haven't yet seen this movie, I highly recommend it. At the minimum, go read up on the true story here and here.
