Read this book.

It's amazing. It's the best book I've read this year.*

Read it. It's incredibly inspiring, witty, funny and uses the phrase "the right psychological moment" which my dad uses all the time to describe why things happen when they happen.

I will share with you my favorite passage from the very end of the book:

"Nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should. Good results require that one take time and care. If one doesn't use the freshest ingredients or read the whole recipe before starting, and if one rushes through the cooking, the results will be an inferior taste and texture -- a gummy beef Wellington, say. But a careful approach will result in a magnificent burst of flavor, a thoroughly satisfying meal, perhaps even a life-changing experience. "

A life lesson if I do say so myself.

As Julia would say, "Bon Appetit!"





*I need to say (for my own pride's sake) that I did not decide to read this book because of Julia and Julia coming out in theaters this weekend. I've wanted to read My Life in France since it came out. I didn't even realize the movie came out this weekend. I do want to see the movie, but I did not read this book because it's a fad. I read it because I love food and cooking and now Julia Child. For some reason I feel like Jeannie will understand why I had to write this side note.
