I recently signed up for Netflix & the other night we watched Julie & Julia.
As we started watching the movie I jumped up, ran to the kitchen and grabbed two books.
Ran back and yelled "LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yup - There they were. Two cookbooks that I've had for at least 20 years. Where did they come from????? I have no clue.......... I just know that they've been in my kitchen for years and I don't think I've used one recipe from either one.
Bob & Bobby looked at me like I was crazy but I thought it was funny that

I had not one but two Julia Childs cookbooks and didn't even know it until the books in the movie started to look awfully familiar.... So there we were: The two guys, the dog, the bird and me with my two books watching Julie & Julia.
The movie itself was cute. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it more than the men did but they put up with me anyway.......
(Bob thought it was going to be about them meeting & cooking together.... I think I've forced him to watch the Food Network a little too much.........)
I was inspired by Julie. A young girl living in a not so perfect apartment over a pizza shop in Brooklyn who works in a boring job by day, who has a problem with finishing any project she starts, who likes to cook but is no expert. She starts a blog about cooking. Taking one full year and over 500 recipes and going through each one until she's done.
I was also inspired by Julia. A not so young woman who seriously adores food......
At the suggestion of her husband she takes some cooking classes and discovers that food is truly her passion. It must be amazing to find something that you are so passionate about, that you are good at, AND it is something that people admire you for.
Unfortunately after the movie the cookbooks were once again put away in the kitchen to collect more dust......... The movie was returned to Netflix....... and I still have no desire to try any of Julia's recipes...
But in the end, I still think it's funny I have those books. I still think it's great that Julie was able to start & finish a project that she was interested in. And ofcourse I am truly amazed by Julia Childs who in her 40's discovered her passion and ended up changing the world of cooking.......
Hey, if those two did what they did then maybe there is still hope for this mid-40's chick who is bored out of her mind and is desperate to find something to be passionate about..........
BUT WHAT???????????
What is there that I LOVE to do?????
Something that I am truly good at?????????
Something that I am passionate about???????????
I have no clue..........
Sigh.............
Oh well...... Maybe in time I will find that one thing that I will LOVE to do.
In the mean time there are so many things that I LIKE to do.......
So instead of just waiting around for "Love" I'd better stop wasting time and enjoy every single second of "Like" cause life is way too short............
MAY YOU ALL FIND YOUR PASSION.......
But until you find it, have a good time looking...........
