Loved the show!! It was great. Meryle Streep did a famous job and it was really a hoot to watch. They did a wonderful at directing, throwing in the cutest bits of trivia and spiced it up a bit with a litte romance. It was a winner for me. I have thought a lot about it the last couple of days. Partly because of my cooking. I am on the OK-side of being an average cook. I have had some real dosies pop out of the oven. Sometimes I wonder were in heck did they come from because it certaing wasn't the imagined creation that I put in. (Wow, I am so surprised that you instantly thought of the brownies!! ya, I have heard it all before.) Then I have had some actually made some really tasty things. But I think the whole jest of the movie was about how much time and effort do you really want to put into something you are passionate about.
I am not passionate about cooking! I just am not. I have no desire to go into such detail to cook a meal that will be eating in 10 minutes or less and absolutely no conversation carried on in the process. If it were an event, that would be different, but honestly most food is inhaled so fast around here, no one would even breath long enough to know there is something different. So I really am not concerned. I do however want to sometime before I die, cook a really good "moist" roast, and to maybe do a boneless duck wrapped in dough. It will happen, I will do it. So the question is.....what am I passionate about? What would be the one thing that I would spend a year of constant effort on? What would I give so much for to accomplish? Hmmmmm, I am not sure. I am going to have to give this a lot of thought. Updates to follow. This will be my "Julia Child's Moment".
