Welcome back to another week of HotMama Book Club. Sorry I’m late but we had a tremendous wind storm up here in the north woods and we lost power. To be honest, I was trying very hard to worry about this blog, but the dark possibility of having to go to work without a shower was overshadowing most of my sleepless night.
If you are just tuning in, we’ve been reading My Life in France by Julia Child with Alex Prud’homme. And despite the fact that they continue to use French words and phrases with no translation, I am still enjoying the book. (ok, I finished it). Reading this memoir has also prompted me to start perusing Child’s cookbooks but with most of her recipes calling for several pounds of butter and four hours of prep work, I am ashamed to say – I took my kids to McDonald’s for dinner. No matter. That’s what FoodieMama is for – fabulous, homemade meals for the family (caramelized onion potato pizza here I come……).
So where were we? Ah yes. Julia is cooking French food. I must stop here for a moment to admit something terribly embarrassing. I lost the book. There it is. I think I actually (accidently) donated the book to the Lupis truck. One moment it was here in the house, the next moment it is nowhere to be found.
No worries. Your assignment is to finish the book anyway, and I can still offer you some chatter about the amazing Julia Child.
How would you like to learn how to make the classic omelette?
