last night in the Value Village finally scored mint copies (1981 paperback) of the two volumes of Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking", a Peanuts card taped on the inside front page wishing the newlyweds a life "filled with laughter, happiness and plenty of good food", which I hope it is and was but it was never from this unstained book (maybe they were a "Joy of Cooking" or "Fit for Life" couple). One of my all-time favorite blogs was the The Julie/Julia Project in which "one girl and a crappy outer borough kitchen" valiantly tried cook her way through it's 538 recipes in a year. I thought they would have made a movie of it by now. Daphne found an unopened and troublingly Richard Dadd-ish 1000 piece jigsaw and a battered church basement panorama of Jersualem.  Posted by Hello
