A Long Dry Stretch

Believe it or not, I had not been to a movie in over a year! Probably the longest movie dry stretch in my life! Not sure what THAT was about, but yesterday was cloudy, Craig was going to be out late, I was bored out of my mind . . . you get the picture! I'd seen Julie and Julia advertised on television and thought it looked like something I'd love. So I jumped in the car last minute and headed to the local cinema. I might add, it's so close, I could ride my bike if it wasn't 105 degrees!

Well, I picked an excellent movie to break my long dry stretch. Meryl Streep is brilliant as Julia Child, and I loved all the scenes from Paris. I expected a movie solely about cooking, but it's so much more. A comedy, two love stories, a movie about finding joy and passion in life -- it's even about blogging! Here's a clip from a Julia Child special, Bon Appetit, that airs on PBS in August.



And here's a link to the movie trailer! (Sorry, embedding is disabled.)

I was so hungry after watching the movie, I had to get some carry-out! No French restaurants out here in Farmville, so I stopped at my favorite Chinese joint and got shrimp and vegetables and egg drop soup. Bon Appetit!
