Julie and Julia

Bloggers by their nature are self absorbed........ or something very similar, says Julie in the eponymous film.... I would admit to that! Though I do think bloggers are people, perhaps, with a lot to say and no one to talk to? That would be more likely, and perhaps kinder.

I would hope that I am simply absorbed in my subject, rather than myself? All consuming Motherhood and life? Or is this blog really about me?

Though there is certainly an element of narcissism , spewing out ones heart, guts and innermost tickings and quirks of ones thoughts, etc, knowing that either nobody or (god forbid) everybody might be reading! And assuming that somebody cares, when really nobody does?

If you haven't seen "Julia and Julie", then do, it is quirky and hilarious, Meryl Streep is quite bizarre and Julie, well adorable, the kind of woman I'd like to befriend. Though I really don't know if I could eat with her, all that butter- eugh!

At the very least you will be inspired to go home and cook something! Or not in mycase, I felt inspired to gorge my imagination on recipe books, and cook baby his fish fingers and chips!

Lord knows- I've tried to give him organic, vegetarian, gourmet, you name it, and the child wants chips, sausage and fish fingers! Well it is better than starving, no?

Strangely my local booksellers did not carry Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French cooking" and nor should they. Life is too short to (de?) bone a bloody duck!
