Julie and Julia

So, I'm sure that I'm the eight thousandth person to start a food blog after seeing Julie and Julia. As soon as the movie was over, Elbert looked over at me and said "you should do a food blog...You could totally do that". I appreciated his confidence in me, but at first I thought "why would someone want to read about my cooking? It's not very exciting". The more that I thought about it and the more Elbert encouraged me, I thought I could do it and it might even be fun. I have had a family blog for about a year and it has been fun, but it's more about my daughter than about me. SO...after being inspired by this movie and encouraged by my husband, I will try to have my own food blog.
That said...I love to cook! I have always enjoyed it. I wouldn't say that I am an excellent cook, but I don't get many complaints. I love watching The Food Network. I own all of Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and I love all of them. I bought the first one right after it came out. Ina Garten used to have a column in Martha Stewart Living before she did her first cookbook. I read that too. I own her DVD series and DVR her show on the food network. I am a little bit obsessed. But her food is so good.
So, I will do my best to share my love of food and cooking with anyone who wants to read it. Enjoy!
