<![CDATA[Delicious Recipes - Jezebel Comments]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes - Jezebel Comments]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> Me - late as ever. But, Jane Lynch is effin' GENIUS. She ad libbed much of Best in Show (my fave movie ever).

"We started this magazine, 'American Bitch.' It's a focus on the issues of the lesbian purebred dog owner."

You just don't get any better than that.

Well put. I know it was beloved by many, but that's how I felt about Eat, Love, Pray. Loved the beginning and Italy. Could not get through India. Put it down for so long that eventually the person who lent it to me asked for it back.

Anyway, don't care anything about cooking, but Meryl, Jane and Amy Adams in a movie about Julia Child? Count me in.

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @BeAgrestic: glad there's someone that shares in my sadness. i wasn't a big fan of last season, but there were a number of episodes this season that dragged me back in. glad they're FINALLY going to do something with the weird adele storyline. AND they must bring sara shahi back. carmen's love scenes = the best!

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> I read this book a couple of years ago- I wasn't on the blog bandwagon when she was blogging- and my first throught upon finihsing was, damn, this would work so well as a movie. A project, a timeline, an uplifting ending. Except, with a movie there'd have to be some subtle changes so watch out for these. Instead of staying with the hub she's had for ten years and adopting two cats, in the movie Julie will marry a boyfriend she's had for one year or her and hubs will be with child at the end of the movie. Then there will be a nice feelgood montage of her en famille cooking in Brooklyn or some such. And she won't work at the 9/11 Commission for whatever it was that bored her to hers. You just are not allowed to be bored when supporting America's Comeback with your typing skills. Although there was that scene where she helped all the tearful families find tissues at Ground Zero (or whatever) that will translate nicely onto film...
/oops too long. apologies.

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @crushdmb: She does read them, she has copies just for reading. All the rest are just for looking at and collecting. She collects anything Jane Austen related: umbrellas, books, movies, postcards. She also won't let students sell back copies of any Jane Austen book.

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> I started reading Julie/Julia around the second month she was doing the blog over at Salon Blogs. When I tried to read the book I came to the conclusion that it a concept ideally suited to blog format and was much less successful as a book.

That being said, I will be at this movie the day it opens. I'm glad Julie was able to make a go of it and get a book and a movie deal out of it.

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @monkey33: And why would someone buy books and not read them!? What the hell? Does she watch the movies and profess to be a Jane Austen fan? Because she's not, if that'st he case. IF YOU DO NOT READ THE ACTUAL BOOK, SHUT IT! Books are always better than the movies!

Well, no, I take that back. I tried getting through the first Dexter novel and totally failed -- it was horrible and simple and uuuugh. But the show? OMG I love the show SOOOOOO much. It was MADE for TV, I think, and just doesn't work as well as a book.

little stripes

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @monkey33: I tried on several occasions to get through a few of Austen's books, and I failed each time. The last time I just tossed the book aside in disgust. And I'm not one to give up on books easily.

Then again, I think it says something that John Steinbeck is my favorite author. I can't stand books about high society -- they are always so whiny and the woman don't seem to want anything except to find a man an dit drives me batty.

little stripes

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> The book was annoying-ish. I wish she'd written more about food and less about how her relationship was falling apart.
I REALLY wish they'd make a movie of Julia Child's autobiography My Life in France. She had such an interesting life, was totally in love with her husband, and had these great loving/catty friendships with Simca and Louisette.

TheGintheCity

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> Ugh that book was so WHINY! The main woman did admit that she was difficult but the whole time I just felt bad for her poor husband. She freaked out and sulked whenever ANYTHING went wrong, and of course things are going to go wonky when you try ANY recipe for the first time, and not just super difficult French ones.

Not to mention she had no concept of when would be a good day to postpone the cook-off. For example moving day, or one day when the bathtub leaked really badly, and she was in the kitchen crying and throwing stuff around and neither she or her poor husband got to eat until something like 11 at night.

The concept was interesting but the book itself was so frustrating.

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @seattleinthecity: I am so freaking sad! My love of the L word was hardly been consistent, but I am really digging this season. It's better that it go out with a bang (heehee) than whimper! Sarah Shahi better make a surprise appearance!

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @crushdmb: Thank you. One of my coworkers has all of the Jane Austen books in print, which she doesn't read, she just collects all the different covers. I had to order her an Austen book in Russian from eBay. I can't get through the books at all.

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> Julia is one of my most favorite people!! She was wooooonderful.

And I think Jane Lynch is very underrated, so good on that too.

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @Rhody: I've been trying to get through Atonement myself, which I bought before I knew a movie was out about it. It's a snooze-fest, seriously. I'm not sure why I even bought it, I don't tend to like books about high society and the like. I just can't bring myself to care. I can't STAND Jane Austen, for one, and I don't get everyone's fascination about her. As Mark Twain once said (he really did NOT like Jane Austen!):

"I haven't any right to criticise books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Everytime I read 'Pride and Prejudice' I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone."

I'm inclined to agree lol. *waits to get beat down by Austen fanatics* :P

little stripes

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> The book is divisive, alright- some love it, some hate it, plenty find it a snoozefest.

I personally loved it, but I love cooking and grew up in the restaurant biz and bla bla bla. Also loved how Julie never sugar-coated anything (other than desserts)- she was perfectly willing to write about being an ass when she was.

Meryl Streep is going to ROCK that movie. I really, really hope they recreate the scene from a letter her husband wrote to his brother; Julia reaches into a pot of boiling water to grab out some manicotti, and exclaims, "wow! these things are as hot as a stiff cock!"

pleasepleaseplease have her say those lines...

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> @seattleinthecity: she's so agressive! It's time for her to move on from Cybil Shepard.

BeAgrestic

]]> <![CDATA[Delicious Recipes]]> I love Jane too!

I've never read the book, but I do remember seeing some interview with the author during which she talked about how much weight she gained eating 1-2 gourmet meals and desserts a day and how expensive it was to buy all the ingredients and the cooking equipment. I'm glad to learn she's made her money back! Now she can hire someone to cook for her. I know I would never want to cook again if I made 524 recipes in a year.

(Also, my love for her and the malleability of her name makes me want to make up lame nicknames for her. The Streepwalker. The Merylmeister. That kind of thing. Who knows where thoughts come from? they just appear.)
