"The only time to eat diet food is when you're waiting for the steak to cook" - Julia Child

Dear Julia,
Oh Julia, you make it so hard for me sometimes. You tempt me with all these amazing recipes loaded with butter. Graham got me both of your famous cookbooks for Christmas and I've been dying to jump right in. One thing that is stopping me? Shedding pounds. Julia you must understand. I am trying to eat healthy AND workout every day. It is going well right now but some days I just wish I could indulge in your Coq Au Vin or Sole Meuniére. Some day soon I will make them.
Oh and I don't think that I have properly thanked you. Thanks for being my inspriation. You have made me love cooking. From one girl 6 feet tall to another (ok you're taller but still),
you pretty much are the best.
Love,
Claire

this is exactly why I haven't dived in to her cookbook myself...I need to lose already. what will happen when I start cooking like that!??!?
thats my problem also. i have so many things i want to bake / cook but then i'll binge. as evidenced by the cupcakes this weekend.
i guess i could just give them away to the swim team?
oh!! you have a swim team too?
My daughter swims :)
I was just watching Julie and Julia again this weekend! You are exactly right, her recipes are divine, but the butter is a death sentence. One day Claire... one day.
haha so true!
i absolutely love that quote!
my new life motto perhaps?! yes.
and your letter to julia is too funny!
that quote + picture = awesome
HAHAHA. ditto. sometimes when i'm commuting to work on the subway and i see THOSE skinny girls who eat late night pizza slices and drink beer and binge on things drizzled with BUTTER and don't gain a pound... sometimes i give them the stink eye. and then i eat my rice cake and take a 45 minute spin class and lose 1 oz. life isn't fair.
p.s. I'm almost 6' tall, too!
I am asking for my 50th birthday a signed copy published in the year I was born and she got published, 1961, and am excited...hope he finds one!
