Reinspired by JC

Bon Jour one and all. Am feeling very Julia Child today. Of course just went and saw Julie and Julia. A little draggy in spots but overall, loved it. Really inspires me to begin cooking. Went to the bookstore and library looking for JC cookbooks. Read several ( not just MTAOFC). Very
inspirational. However, don't think I will try to debone a duck any time soon. But I am in the
process of making my smothered steak. Patted the meat very dry. I really think this makes a
huge difference. I think it is going to be extra tasty.

I think I am ready to branch out and try new stuff. I don't think organ meat or intestines are in my immediate future, but maybe lamb, roasts etc are in my future. I think this coming week I am going to try beef bougnion ( well JC's beef stew. Just because I can't spell it, or pronounce it
doesn't mean I can't cook it.) Yes I will master the spelling and pronunciation before I serve it.
I appreciate your patience and understanding. Am looking for food testers and general all around guinea pigs. :)

BON APPETITE
