The other night a few friends and I had a
Julie and Julia night. It was the best tasting cooking adventure I've had in a long time. We made chicken seasoned with herbs (I can't remember all the seasonings involved but we did have to go buy fennel seed), peas (I know this sounds simple, but they were really, really good), tiny little vanilla souffles, sponge cake, and of course french bread and cheese (Boursin to be specific).
My friend Emily found this amazing blog where we got all the recipes. It's called Whisk: A food blog and it features an
online guide to Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." The best part is we had like four people working together to cook one meal so it wasn't that hard to put together. It made me want to cook more often! Especially French food. I even have my own little ramekins now :) Which is actually a lot of progress for me since I didn't even know that's what you called them a couple days ago.
We had planned on finishing the evening by watching the movie Julie and Julia, but sadly the DVD we rented was scratched. Instead we watched
Whip it, which was a great way to finish the night (When is a competitive girl roller derby movie not a good way to finish your day? lol).
Currently watching: Psych

Can I say I absolutely love you! This so neat. I watched that movie with Lauren last Friday and it was ok but made me want to be a better cook for sure.
