I watched Julie and Julia with my cousin and it got me craving for food...even though I already had dinner at Buca's, it didn't stop me from drooling, sorta. To go through a cookbook within a year with 524 recipes is just CRAZY! I can't even commit to cleaning my room for a day. I applaud Julie for taking the time to make her way in Julia's cookbook. I thought the movie was funny and inspirational. On the contrary, I thought the film kinda dragged on a bit longer than I expected.
During the movie, my cousin and I discussed about doing a project just like Julie's except, we'd go through a Hmong cookbook since we're Hmong. That'd be quite interesting but most Hmong recipes are a dabble from other Asian ethnicities, in my view at least. Sometimes I daydream that our kitchen at home was bigger and I had all the ingredients from all over the world to cook delicious meals at home...but what can you do when you're poor and don't have a job :/
Overall, the movie was okay. Meryl Streeps's voice was really annoying and it's quite sad that I can imitate it quite well. I love movies that deal with cooking...then again it reminds me that my cooking skills are only mediocre.
Until then,
Bon Appetit - Paks

Do the Hmong cookbook recipe idea. Also, very true. The Hmong culture and cuisine is nothing but a hodgepodge of other Asian cultures. Our history was forcibly deleted. Tis a pity but nothing we can do, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably do a second account for food/recipes since this one already has articles on music and movies ahaha.
