Last night, after an epically good dinner at Union Square Cafe (including, but not limited to: lamb and polenta ravioli; scallops with butternut squash, brussel sprouts, pancetta, and black truffle butter; kabocha squash polenta with walnuts and gorgonzola; carrot cake with cream cheese ice cream; chocolate brownie custard with whipped cream), I came home and of course embraced the couch potato-ness that just happens at home, even when there is a thesis chapter to write, and guess what was on? Julie and Julia! That wonderful movie that makes you alternately (1) wish you were Julia Child and living in Paris with a husband that adores you and (2) wish you were writing a blog that caused Amanda Hesser and Frank Bruni to come to dinner, not to mention the book and movie deals that came after. Meryl Streep, as always, is delightful, and just makes you want to run in the kitchen and start making some coq au vin.
Now, back to the writing!
