Ramblings...

I have always loved the song Telstar. As a kid I would hum it when swinging and realize I'd left the ground and was soaring. I would also begin to hum it out loud when I thought I was running really, really fast. I must have picked up off the radio, am radio was awesome in the 70's. But listening to it now makes me laugh because it was my supergirl theme song, no doubt. Come to think of it, I was into quite a few 1970's instrumentals.

Speaking of Telstar, I really want to see that film one way or another. I hear it is filled with incorrect information but that's how it goes with biopics. I dig the costumes and there promises to be a lot of vintage guitars...swoon!

I saw Julie and Julia and wished there had been a biopic on just Julia Child. I loved the costumes. Brooches and pearls were prominently featured and made me want my own pieces. Those vintage shoes, from the late 40's early 1950's were awesome! Loved those early 1950's tailored dresses. Anyway, when looking for more writers on food after I had finished everything MFK Fisher had written, I came across ex-Austinite, Julie Powell. Thumbing through her book, it seemed at first interesting but I was trying to follow MFK Fisher. Julie Powell's book wasn't going to cut it.

After seeing the film, I feel inclined to check out the blog. It was a cute film. I can relate to the whole sacred Julia Child recipe reverence thing. I have only attempted one Julia Child recipe my whole life, maybe two years ago. It came out perfect so I quit while I was ahead. It was very simple but required a lot of technique.

This was when I still ate chicken. Hard to eat chicken after you spend a pleasant afternoon listening to one talk as she follows you around the yard. Not sure how much Julia Child had to do with the actual recipe. It was not from her book but in some Time-Life book anthology of recipes. I'll try again one day.
