I'm a little behind the times. We just watched Julie & Julia. Meryl Streep was excellent! She really nailed that part. What I did learn was that Julia Child could not have children. I did not know this. Of course I cried when my husband pointed out the scene where in front of Notre Dame they pass a woman with a stroller and Julia notices with envy. How could I have not seen that coming? What a strong woman she must have been. At that time it did not seem to be the norm. Everyone was a housewife taking care of the children. Fortunately they were rich! I mean, it's got to take the edge off living in Paris don't you think?
I chuckled when Julie started her blog. My husband is clueless. And that's the way it needs to be...

I love that movie. And I'm sort of reading both books right now...What's strange is that Jule Powell was an egg donor when she was younger - seriously! And then she starts the blog because she's just been diagnosed with PCOS! I have no idea why they left that out of the movie - it just seems too much of a coincidence, no?
