Julie/Julia

Well, I finished reading a book called Julie & Julia; My Year of Cooking Dangerously on Monday. When I first picked it up a few weeks ago, I have to tell you that I truly did not think I could like the author. In the first few pages she told of how she had harvested her eggs (and she don't live on a chicken farm people) for profit. Well, not for profit really - she was having financial difficulties and this was a way of getting out of debt. Now what this could possibly have to do with the topic of her book, I could not have told you. The book is about how she spent a year cooking her way thru Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking - Volume One. What do you know though - when I closed the book on the final passage I was so sad. I felt like I was closing the door on a great friendship. I like her - I really like her. She is kooky, nutty, a little self involved, but I really liked her. And now - just a few days later, I think I miss her.

Is it possible to feel a connection with someone that you have never met? Am I insane? I'm not a stalker or anything - but I actually went on line to see to see if she still blogs (she kept a blog throughout the year of her project). Which brings me to how I ended up here - with a blog of my own.

So anyway, I loved the book. If you have the opportunity it is a fun read. And now here I am with a blog of my own - thanks Julie...
