i'm thinking of raspberry souffles

Henry Gummer-Don't Stop The Train



I'm not just thinking of raspberry and chocolate souffles, I am also thinking of french baguettes, lighted and fancy cafes around the corner, colorful apartments, frying pans, pots, lobster, delicious plates of pasta, roasted chicken, duck, and pumpkin creme pies thanks to the movie Julie and Julia. Amy Adams plays a character named Julie Powell, who tries to finish all of Julia Child (Meryl Streep), her cook role model's 524 recipes in 365 days to find something meaningful to do before she continues to mope around about how miserable she is with her life. Aside from working in the office, she decides to work on this new project and blog about the experiences that happen in her small apartment kitchen, of her cooked food from the wondrous recipes that Julia Child herself composed, into the published thick cookbook. Julie Powell soon finds herself through the comfort of cooking the delicious food she loves, loving herself for who she was and is, accepting things the way they are, and living life simply for the sake of happiness. Personally, I thought this movie was very lovely and admirable because it was mainly focused on cooking and mastering the art and beauty of food--some things that I don't engage with very often. So I am glad that I tuned in for a beautiful movie tonight.

I love Amy Adams. I actually have the book Julie Powell wrote.
