Students are rolling into town. We are scurrying to complete preparations for the start of the semester. This is a time of anticipation and a bit of anxiety, but it always turns out.
The treat of the day was seeing Julie & Julia in the theater, enjoying Meryl Streep's performance (and all the rest), while eating a greasy red baron pizza and popcorn. We all howled at the Dan Akroyd homage, and admired the food. It reminded me of my own 1970 and 1973 editions of Matering the Art of French Cooking (vol. II & I). I remember wading through recipes very carefully and slowly. Then watching Julia on t.v. frees up any cook.
We are beginning to look for signs of fall approaching - mainly it dries up and cools down at night. I don't care to think about the heat so much this time of year. Trips to Colorado and Flagstaff definitely helped.
