I spoke to a friend over Skype last night and our conversation ventured down a path about food. She suggested I watch Julie & Julia starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. The movie was based on TWO true stories. There were three takeaways from that movie; (1) if you hate your job, look for something you love and quitting your job a goal (2) accomplishing something requires perseverance and commitment and (3) Jackson needs to learn how to cook better!
I watched the movie in my room, on my computer, with a bowl of Ramen with egg and lettuce. Afterwards I had a Romanian salad a potato I baked. It was sad I know...
The famous dish in the movie was Boeuf Bourguignon. It was cooked maybe 3-4 times in the movie and everytime it looked amazingly delicious! I'll be ordering Julia Child's cook book just for that recipe... now it's a matter of figuring out which volume that recipe is in :p
Back to the cooking I did tonight (not much cooking really...)...
The potato turned out very good!
- One potato
- 80 minutes
- 350 degrees
The Romanian salad I kept simple:
- Romanian lettuce
- Dice tomatoes
- Carrots
- Balsamic dressing
Another friend suggested I try making Double baked potato, and that I only got part marks for making a regular potato... ok... next project! haha :)
