It's Extraordinary.

The more I see a clip of the real Julia Child, I can't help but think "what she's done for Julie, and what Julie's done for me..." I'm starting to feel proud of myself for starting this blog. And I wouldn't have if Julie did in the first place.

Recently, I tried starting a new diet. It would be called The No Butter Diet. It's a long story about how I originated it, but it all started with a joke called The Butter Diet, and I thought it could actually work. There's just a lot of more details in between.

So the more I take classes on Nutrition and think of recipes that don't need to have butter in them, I can see myself writing a book about it and give Julie another homage. Then again, it will be a looooong time until that happens and that's understandable. So far I have a few things that don't need butter.

And the cool thing about it is that if I ever do write a book, I know I can maybe give an acknowledgement to Julie. Even better; Julia. I'm already writing a film that's meant to be dedicated to Julie. It's hard to explain, but Julie Powell is an excellent lady to me. My blog is because of her, my writing Just Like Julia Child is because of her; I feel eager thinking that she's going to comment on one of my posts.

I actually had a dream the other night. I was actually having lunch with Julie and we were chatting and laughing and it was really fun. Although, it was actually Amy Adams. But it was still Julie Powell either way.

I must say, it really is extraordinary. The chain linking Julia to Julie, and Julie to me, and my ambitions to keep writing this blog and my film which are both dedicating to Julie. It seems like all those plans to cancel my blogspot account is way over my head.

A Homage to Julie!!!

Right now I feel kind of proud of myself. For the first time in Just Like Julia Child, I gave a little homage to Julie Powell. Like I promised I would.

By now, Howard began working in Nathan's restaurant. And Joanne found out because she went there for lunch with her friend and wanted to tell "the chef" how she preferred her steak, because he wasn't making it to her satisfaction. In the kitchen, she was stunned to Howard as well as he was stunned to see her. After Joanne took in the news that Howard was working there, she began to get a little worried.

Right now, I'm working on a scene where Joanne is reading Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her boss, Andrew, asks her about it. And then he begins to explain about a woman named Julie Powell who cooked her way through MtAoFC and wrote a blog about it. So I'm planning for Joanne to tell Howard about Julie and then maybe Howard can get some encouragement to show more passion for working in the restaurant. Kind of like how I got encouragement from Julie to start my blog and start Just Like Julia Child.

I promise that when I finish it, I might put it on this website I found called Triggerstreet.com and see if people would like to read it. And by people I mean Julie.

I guarantee that the more detail I put into JLJC about Howard working at the restaurant and stuff and Joanne dealing with the news, this is something I think/hope Julie would really like.
