I can not wait to see this movie! My Mother in law loved it too. She thought it was so funny that Julia drank so much:)

I saw this movie last night. I had no idea what the movie was going to be about, apparently I missed ALL the previews.

I was impressed. My hubs actually watched it with me. {I think he liked it.}

Well, anyway…I’ll probably never de-bone a duck or goose or make that gelatin stuff. But, if anyone ever wanted to prepare me a French meal – I wouldn’t turn them down.

Blessings to you,

What a wonderful post! I too loved the movie, but tend not to analyze too deeply…I feel entertained, so I am happy But I agree with all your points, especially the butter one I gave up butter many years ago in an attempt to stay slim (ongoing battle, I’d say life and I are about tied at this point). Now I don’t bother with any butter or any substitute, except to cook with olive oil when I do cook (which is not frequently, I too am blessed with a husband who cooks). BUT, when in Paris, biting into a fresh baguette sandwich, and realizing one of the things that makes this sandwich SOOOO good is…the butter!

what a great list. i haven’t seen the film – i guess i’ve not been on any long-haul flights lately – but have read many blog posts about it and will have to get my hands on it now that it’s on DVD. and i totally agree that real butter is the best, tho’ i prefer danish butter. with læsø salt, mmm…

The movie has stuck with me all year. I must admit I am more of a fast cook, but spend lots of time on presentation. French cooking is not really my thing, but the story was great.

Julia impressed me that she was not intimidated, in the cooking school and kept showing up every day.

I also enjoyed a movie where the characters care about each other and nobody is killed, suicidal, or spiteful.

I haven’t seen it. But I want to. And I think butter makes everything better in life…that with cheese and wine…not necessarily all together.)
