I am soooooo late on seeing this movie. How is it possible that I’ve waited 2 years to see it? It’s not like I haven’t been told many times that I should. I definitely have. Well, tonight I managed to bore my kids to death watching it, while my husband kept giving me the “that’s you” look throughout and all along I was almost in tears while smiling ear to ear.
I have no intention of being Julie Powell, but I can relate to her passion for food and blogging. And of course the love of Master the Art of French Cooking 
of which I have a copy from 1966 that I bought at the Goodwill for $4 (first published in 1961). I covet this cookbook more than any other in my extensive collection.

This was an inspiring movie and it cements what I do here everyday. There are moments when I feel like Julie and wonder if there’s anyone out there reading my words and other times when I don’t care because I just made something so amazing that I have to blog it even if it means that no one will ever see it. It’s uncontrollable but in a wonderful way that has changed my life for the better. I thank all of you who have been coming to my blog since the beginning and supporting me along the way and I thank all of you who have just found me and choose to come back to see what’s new. I really appreciate it more than you know! So here’s to all of you and this wonderful culinary adventure that I live daily. To many more great meals!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Heather

Heather – i just watched that movie a few months ago. I of course watched it after I started the foodblog. It def is inspiring. I too wonder if anyone is reading my blog. Sometimes you pour your heart out into a post and then no one responds or very few, then you think was it really that bad?
I just bought a cookbook today myself, i wanted an all purpose cookbook, it was so hard to find a perfect fit me… i ended up buying the joy of cooking (took me 30 minutes)… to only get mocked by mom by saying that its a very old one. I just said… well you gotta start somewhere, nothing wrong with a traditional cookbook no matter how old the recipes are.
Heather,
I’ve been been reading the Julie and Julia book and now want to watch the movie again. I loved watching it the first time!
I started a blog 3 weeks ago and often wonder if anyone’s reading, too. So, you’re definitely not alone. I have 339 straight days of baking to go and wonder if I’ll be able to do it mentally.
I will definitely be chiecking back in with you. Know that we are out here and are not only reading, but also enjoying!
Love it! Such a great movie! I have watched it SO many times! Get the DVD and watch it with the commentary, it’s even better!
