For Christmas
Niel got me a book I really wanted
Julie and Julia. I yelped with happiness after I opened the gift and said "You do love me"! Niel just shook his head and called me a "weirdo." Julie Powell is a writer who blogged about cooking all 524 recipes of Julia Child's cookbook
Mastering The Art Of French Cooking in 365 days. That process was a major turning point in Julie Powell's life. Julie Powell,
Orangette, and
Dooce are some of my favorite new writers. I wouldn't have even discovered them if it wasn't for blogging. I enjoy their way with words and honesty.
Other cool books I received
Paula Deen And Friends(from the
Squilky's),
Cupcakes Year Round, and
It's All American Food. The last cookbook I had been eyeing as well and didn't even mention it to Niel. I was surprised to receive it. It was as if Niel read my mind. I read his mind also when I gave him
Amazin. Which he had been wanting but did not mention to me either. Spooky.

Make sure you have plenty of butter on hand before trying one of Paula's recipes on hand ;-)
You ain't kidding Mike.
Me too Jess:)
She cooked ALL the recipes in a year? Wow. I've had some cookbook for years and still haven't used all the recipes. Shame on me.
It's a really interesting book. More about self discovery. She mentions the recipes though.
