I loved the movie. My 17 year old grandaughter loved the movie. We went to see it twice, I expected to like it, I did not expect her too. All of the actors were very good, Streep was exceptional. Is there nothing this woman can do? I am sure this is a frequently asked question and the answer is no there isn’t. I will say that I did go to see HER, and was not disappointed in any way. I believe I have seen most if not all of her works, most I liked, and some I did not. But…..in all of them, she stood out as being the Person. It was not Meryl Streep playing Julia Child, it was Julia Child. The funny thing is I am not a ‘Star’ fan. I don’t stand in line waiting to see a glimpse of a famous person, couldn’t care less if Brad and Angelina were outside the house waiting for an introduction. I doubt I would peek out the window. But I think I might like to meet Ms. Streep, just to talk. So Julia was great, her husband was great, the couple in the apt. above the pizza joint was good. Very enjoyable, very fun. I bought the DVD, can’t like it better than that.

I’d be happy to take you to a good, authentic Vietnamese restaurant since I’m not so good at cooking it myself. I do excel in eating it!

There was a time when I did a lot of traveling and I’d seek out a Vietnamese restaurant everywhere I went and graded them. I was surprised to find one in Berlin which was authentic and very good, though the servings were small. The owner was Vietnamese and said this was because Germans couldn’t finish the huge servings we’re used to. I asked her to double the size on everything I ordered and paid double the price but it was worth it!

Well, I guess we have a deal then girls! 😉
ShelleyP will offer us an Aussie special, I’ll go with the typical French meal and our dear PCN could maybe cook some Vietnamese food for us? Or how to travel around the world just by eating!
How nice would that be, huh?!

Me too ~ moi aussi! {I sometimes catch myself using ‘aussie’ instead of ‘aussi’!}

I’m going to hold you both to that, ShelleyP and Julien!

Yes ShelleyP, thanks for your explanations (and for your lovely French sentence!) and please note that I’d like to have some bikkies too, like PCN! 😉

And when you girls come to France, I’ll prepare for you a typical French meal! (You definitely have to eat some “foie gras” with a sip of French Sauternes, it’s so exquisite you will want to sell your soul for it!)

When you make it to Australia someday, PCN, I will make you some 😉 .

Thanks for the education on ANZAC bikkies, ShelleyP—I AM interested in those things and find the history interesting. I’d never heard of them before. When I make it to Australia (and I will someday), I’m going to try some!

I like it and am a HUGE fan of both women, but I wish the trailer felt like more of an appetizer and less of a three-course meal.

Probably still go see it though.
