Feel-good flick of the year

If you know me or if you've read my blog for a while, you'll know that I love to eat. And that I love to cook. I love to eat, and I love to cook. I do. I really, really do.

This is mind, understand that my appreciation for Julie & Julia (now in theaters, obviously), might be somewhat biased, however, I'm going to go ahead and tell you to go see it anyway-- it think that my personal preferences for good cooking aside, the movie is still worth the $8-10 ticket fee. Really, if you don't come out from the movie theater grinning from ear to ear, 1) I'll eat my Williams & Sonoma apron, and 2) there's something deeply and possibly irrevocably wrong with you.

If you're at all interested in the story behind the movie, have a look at the original Julie/Julia Project-- the blog that inspired the book and the subsequent movie, and Julie Powell's current blog. Finally, have a look at Ms. Powell's assessment of what the flick got wrong.

And seriously-- If you're having a gross day-- go see it. The movie is nothing if not heartwarming.
