253/365 - Inspired by Julie and Julia

I went to see Julie and Julia today. I really enjoyed the movie, especially the Julia parts - you could see how much Julia Child loved France and French food.

I have to admit that I went to this movie by myself (gasp!) - the first time I have ever gone to see a movie by myself. Scott goes by himself regularly, but this was something new to me, and really, only by convenience. Erica had been invited to see GI Joe and both movies were playing at the same time. My other friends had already seen Julie and Julia, and Scott wasn't interested. So by myself I went. I'm not scarred for life because of the experience, either.

So, today's picture is inspired by the movie - my collection of cookbooks and recipes - all kept in this handy cabinet in the kitchen island. I may check out Julia's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, too - maybe it deserves some space here.
