Comments on: Julie & Julia Blog of the Day http://dineanddish.net/2009/06/julie-julia-blog-of-the-day/ Food blog with family recipes Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:52:52 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kathy Hatfield http://dineanddish.net/2009/06/julie-julia-blog-of-the-day/comment-page-1/#comment-24518 Kathy Hatfield Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:14:56 +0000 http://dineanddish.net/?p=782#comment-24518 Dad and I watched the Meryl Streep film, Julie and Julia which is about a contemporary girl in Queens, NY who writes a blog about Cooking every recipe in the Julia Child cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Since Dad has Alzheimer's, it's hard to find a movie that Dad and I can both enjoy, so this was a great mix of 1920s Paris and today's modern movie. Well, I became inspired to cook a chicken. I know how silly that sounds when you can buy a $4.99 rotisserie chicken at any grocery store, but I know how much my Dad loves chicken and wanted to make a real one, from scratch. So I baked and basted until the most beautiful golden bird emerged from my oven. I felt a little Julia Child-ish myself. I set the table, got Dad seated with a nice glass of tea and went back to the kitchen to carve the perfectly rested masterpiece. As I rounded the corner, I caught sight of our beloved dog, Claire with my chicken in her mouth! In seconds, my chicken was gone, in twenty delicious pieces on the carpet of my living room. So Dad and I had peanut butter sandwiches for dinner. He even commented a few times how delicious it was and how much he loved peanut butter and jelly. Sorry Julia.

Meryl Streep was great as Julia, as she is in sooo many of her roles. I just looked to see the blog, to see the reality of it. I was so shocked to find it, why, i don't know. But it was cool to find. Im 16, so I'm not one who grew up with the actual show. I looked it up on youtube though, and in my opinion, Meryl did a great job as her, as I said in the beginning. I couldn't stop smiling at Meryl, she kept putting me in a good mood. I loved how both of them worked so hard and kept trying to look on the bright side. I can't help but wonder though, what would happen if the real Julia had seen this movie? Would she dislike it like she disliked the blog Julie made, or would she enjoy it. I guess the world will never know. XD I saw the movie yesturday, and LOVED it. Meryl Streep was great as Julia, as she is in sooo many of her roles.

The guilt and pain we feel about sneaking out in the middle of the day to see a movie is mitigated by the fact that we get to spend some quality girl-time together. Now, we have seen a few loser movies, but most have been fun and a great break in the middle of busy schedules.
