I think I found the key to enjoying books that are turned into movies. Watch the movie, enjoy it for what it is, then read the bood and enjoy it MORE.
Worked with this one.

I never read blogs and had never heard of this project until my niece mentioned it. Probably due to the Texas/New York elements. Anyway, Julie's easy wit and totally unpretentious style was a delight to read. I'm on the road to finding my joy (in clay) and it never occurred to me to write about it or worse yet to blog about it, but you know, there could be some merit there. Introverted analysts like me tend to discount the journey and focus on the destination. It gave some insight into what my brother the chef went thorugh in his training. I can see the kid whose favorite meal was a chicago dog (when we still called them a vienna dog) and whole mom made dumpling footballs working to become th eexcellent chef and educator he was. Thanks julie and julia. We all need a project!
