New owners of Julia Child Cambridge house have different feel for the home

Wow, what it must be like to be in that house! It's kind of a shame that they don't like to cook, though.

Julie and Julia

I recently saw the movie Julie and Julia. It was cute, if not a little boring if you had read Julia's book, My Life in France. In the movie, the main character, Julie, attempts to make every recipe from Julia Child's book 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' in a single year. It is a huge undertaking and an entertaining ride watching her make 500 recipes in 365 days. It got me to thinking...hmmm, I'd like Steven to do something like this. Not only would it force us to try new things, but would be a neat thing to blog about.

Since it would be boring to try and replicate what Julie has already done, I thought it might be fun to mix it up a bit (and also not drive Steven to insanity trying to make complex recipes on work nights). Martha Stewart has a great book out, Everyday Food: Great Food Fast. As the title suggests, it is full of yummy recipes that don't take (too) long to make. We have had several meals from this book and have yet to be disappointed. I am working on convincing Steven to take me up on this challenge. It's mostly work for him but it might be an opportunity for me to learn how to cook, too.

Hello?

Is anyone home?
