The last time I saw that was "Mama Mia" also with Meryl Streep.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534849962517743534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-28690167480823811292009-08-11T13:47:58.324-05:002009-08-11T13:47:58.324-05:00This is the second review about this movie I'v...This is the second review about this movie I've read on blogs today.

I do like Meryl Strep though and I can see where she would do justice to Julia.<br /><br />I can't eat processed food so most of my meals are homecooked from scratch. Cooking is an art, just like writing, painting, singing. It touches on the creative side of you. Not that I cook quite like Julia Child, lol, but it's good. <br /><br />Of late, I've been cooking for 5, with my sister and her guy, and one of the contractors who is a personal friend. My 14 year old son is due home today, after spending the last two months with my sister's daughter and husband. So, I'll now be cooking for 6, sheesh.<br /><br />Good point though. Rejections are hard to take. I look at it this way, if this is what you want to do, then you can't let them keep you from 'dusting' yourself off and continuing to submit. You don't submity? Then the answer is automatically a no, isn't it? Keep submitting and you'll stand a better chance of getting a yes.~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-51122838949941846352009-08-09T21:32:17.153-05:002009-08-09T21:32:17.153-05:00I'm really good at the eating part and also ma...I'm really good at the eating part and also making messes.

I made a homemade cherry pie and was amazed at how easy it was to make a crust. Just shortening and flour and something else. LOL Can't remember. But the point is, I thought it would be hard, and it wasn't, and then I wondered-- Why do we have frozen ones if it's this easy?<br /><br />I hate fake sugared stuff. Give me real sugar.

Meryl Streep was wonderful as Julia Childs and Amy Adams is always so dang cute.<br /><br />But to me it was the writer/director Nora Ephron that was the true star. Her screenplay was brilliant and truly illustrated the worth of a GREAT writer.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048847365398559366noreply@blogger.com
