Watching Julie and Julia is what inspired me to start this blog. I had been thinking for a very long time that I needed a hobby. I needed to find something that I loved to do, and master it. I had interest in sewing, photography, cooking, and interior design. I had some experience with a little bit of each, but I knew I had to pick one and stick with it. On a rainy day, I was home alone, and I decided to finally watch Julie and Julia. I had to wait until I was home alone because the husband would have refused to watch it, or if he did watch it with me, he would have made smart comments throughout the movie, and therefore ruin it for me.
While watching the movie a light bulb lit up. I already like cooking, and I kind of have to cook anyways, so why not blog about it while I try out new recipes and share the wealth with others? I could also use my nice camera to take pictures of my creations! Voila! For the next week I walked around the house saying "bon appetit" in a really high pitched voice.
On my birthday, the husband took me out for crepes (yum!) and then said he had to show me something at a museum in D.C. I was perplexed as to what he could show me; I had already seen the Hope Diamond and the Islamic Art exhibit. We went to the Museum of American History; he took me there to see Julia Child's kitchen!

Julia's pots and pans collection
Julia recorded a few of her cooking shows right from her very own kitchen.
I need one of these! Julia Child had a peg board in her kitchen to hang her collection of copper pots and pans, which she brought from France. She outlined them with marker to show anybody who used them where they should be returned.
It was interesting to see the kitchen of the person who inspired Julie to start her blog, which in turn, inspired me to start mine.
