I can do it myself!
I was glad to see that Meryl Streep won the Golden Globe the other night for her performance as Julia Child — I thought Julie and Julia was one of the most delightful movies I’ve seen in a very long time.
Because I enjoyed the movie so much, a few weeks ago, I watched a special on PBS that aired three of the classic episodes of The French Chef. I watched dumbfounded as Julia Child made am omelet in 20 seconds.
All these years I’ve been doing it wrong (which is probably why I’ve always been so sorely disappointed by my omelets!) After watching her make about 10 of them, I decided to give it a try myself and you know what? My omelet flopped around just the way hers did, and it folded over on itself just like hers did, and after 20 seconds it was on the plate and it was tender and light and absolutely delicious.
I’ve been looking forward to breakfast ever since. I added some sauteed mushrooms first and that worked out well. Then, I added some guacamole. I’m sure I could easily move on to various cheeses.
What fun to discover something new to cook!
Yesterday I straightened up the shelf in my kitchen where I keep my cookbooks and I realized that I don’t have to accept life without mushroom soup just because Wegman’s doesn’t fix it for me anymore. I opened my Williams Sonoma SOUP book and there it was — a recipe for Three Mushroom Soup with Sherry.
With Sherry!
It will be on my table tonight. I’ll let you know…
Weekend Runs
Looks like it might be possible to thread the needle in between the wintry mix tomorrow and a 60% chance of showers on Sunday and do Greenberry’s on Saturday.
%#*@**!!!
I know things change and time marches on, but why can’t there be a few more things you can depend on?
When I bought my first real running clothes, I didn’t know anything about it, other than it needed to wick the moisture away. I found some inexpensive tops at Kohl’s and I bought three of them because the tag said they wicked moisture away. I really liked them. When I was ready to buy a few more of them, I went back and couldn’t find the same ones. I figured it didn’t matter and I bought some different ones. I didn’t like them as well. I’ve bought several different ones over the last couple of years and I haven’t found any that I like better than those original ones.
I bought some fitted running pants from Target the second winter I ran (can you believe I ran the first winter in jeans?!! =:O ). They are comfortable and they keep me warm and I like them waaaaay better than jeans. I went back to get a few more and evidently they don’t make that same kind any more.
Eddie Bauer changed the jeans that I love. Wegman’s got me hooked on their three mushroom soup from the soup bar and then BOOM, it disappeared. After nearly a year, I still don’t like my car as well as I loved the one I had before.
I’m also annoyed because once again, the forecast for the weekend looks less than acceptable for a wimpy runner like me. I don’t like the word “wind” coupled with below freezing temperatures — two days after yet another coating of snow/ice. I’ve ventured outside a couple of days to run in the last couple of weeks and have quickly retreated to the rec center in the face of a cold wind, or a thin SLICK layer of frost on the trail. Not to mention actual precip. For me, running is about exercise – not about being miserable.
I suppose there’s a chance I’ll venture out on Saturday — but not much of one.
I sure hope the new year brings the traditional January thaw.
Happy New Year.
Be Safe.
