Mom of the Year Award

This year's award goes to my mom! Remember my post about how my mom and I went to see Julie & Julia and now I wanted Julia Child's cookbook. This arrived in my mail this week

This is both volumes I had been looking at on Amazon all in one book and I am so excited to start cooking. Colin on the other hand is not so excited and has already told me that he will not be eating anything that comes from this book. I offered to make my mom some aspic the next time she and my dad visit but she didn't seem real excited about my offer. I think I am going to browse my way through the book and pick one recipe from each section to try first. I will of course post pictures and updates of my progress but instead of one a day like Julia I was thinking more along the lines of 1 or 2 a month. I'm hoping to get a chance to start going through my new treasure this week and pick my first couple recipes.
