Last night the boy and I grabbed a quick bite to eat and then headed out to see a screening of the new movie with Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, "Julie & Julia". It was also on my summer read list and I finished the book over the weekend. I loved both the book and the movie.

I am not sure if I liked the book or the movie more. The movie actually had Julia Child playing a main role in the movie, where while she did play a large role in the book, it was more in the background, and it had some of her letters as well as her husband Paul's in it. The movie showed her living in Paris as well as other places and really took you through her trials and tribulations of getting "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" published.
The boy enjoyed it as well, and it truly is a love story as well. Julia and Paul's love, Julie and her husband Eric's love as well as both of their loves of food. There are some wonderful scenes in the movie, and if you have ever been to Paris, it will definitely take you back.


My Julia books (did you know that Julia Child published 17 cookbooks but did not even publish MTAFC until she was 54? Impressive).
