I am Not a Julie Powell Copycat

Okay, I know that the assumption will be that I am copying Julie Powell. I most certainly am not. True, we are both Texans living elsewhere, but I can promise you the language on this blog will be significantly less colorful. I am also not going to attempt to cook my way through Julia's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." Seriously, I have no desire to attempt aspic (well, maybe just to see if I can do it) and I am not even remotely interested in learning new and exciting ways to make offal (there is a reason it sounds like "awful") palatable.

You only go around once, and while my life is full and happy and blessed, I am greedy and want more. I want more enjoyable evenings with friends. I want more corks for my cork collection and that means opening more bottles with friends and family. What I seriously need seems to be more time. Can anyone relate? I need to prioritize and get things rearranged so that what I am spending time doing is meaningful and enjoyable. For me, this is cooking and spending evenings with friends.

The purpose of this blog is not to set a deadline to accomplish some fantastic undertaking. Rather, it is to help me focus on getting things back in order so that I can do what I most want to do.

I am looking forward to having "Friends in Our Kitchen"!

  3. Jana, you'll pave your own way. Folks will compare it only because of the movie, but in due time you'll make it your own, I know it! Looking forward to following along!
