Those of you who know me well know that I *loved* the movie "Julie and Julia." I loved it. I saw it first with my brother Jon in Vancouver, BC last summer, and that got he and I on a book crawl. We went all over Vancouver looking for old, used Julia Child cook books. What fun we had.
Then I saw it with Frank. And then I saw it in Door County with my sister Sally and my two daughters.
I'm currently reading "My Life in France" by Julia Child - a memoir written by Julia after the death of her beloved Paul. It is snippets of their years in France - treasured memories. As I [slowly] read, I look up the hotels and restaurants, and mark them on my Paris map. We might have to do a Julia tour while we're there.
So, although we've left our trip rather loose - lots of plans but nothing cemented - I did sign us up for one class. At the Cordon Bleu. Imagine my excitement when I saw that they offered a class entitled "An Evening in Honor of Julia Child." It is offered once a month in Paris this year, due in part to the popularity of the movie. And guess what!? It's offered on our *last night* in Paris. Of course I signed us up!
You can read about the class here.
I'm not sure I'll be able to spell beef bourginoion when I return, let alone cook it, but... what fun it will be.
