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".
I think you've made some really great stuff. And while you may not be passionate about cooking, you raised a son who is. Scott made a great roast chicken tonight. It was so moist and tender! I'm lucky to have a husband who enjoys making good food.
ReplyDeleteI love the new design, mom.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, your kids still LOVE food so that's driven us to go out on our own and learn. This week, I made a fat free pineapple mango spongecake with ginger whipped topping. It was fantastic.
They both sound great. We could do roast chicken with pineapple mango spongecake when we are all together. Kendall and Chelse were over tonight and he made a curry chicken in a coconut milk and peanut butter sauce over sticky rice as we watch old episodes of Julia Child. It was really yum! Hmmm, maybe my passion is to really appreciate the accomplishments of my kids.
