Two great food themed movies are on the schedule just before Thanksgiving. This week is Julie & Julia. The plot is about Julia Child’s story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell’s 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child’s first book. It shows in the Memorial Union Commons on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (November 17, 18 & 19) at 2:30, 5:30 and 8:30 PM. Next week is What’s Cooking. The plot of this movie centers on LA’s Fairfax district, where ethnic groups abound, four households celebrate Thanksgiving amidst family tensions. It will show in the MU Commons on Monday and Tuesday at 2:30, 5:30 and 8:30 PM. It will show on Wednesday at 2:30 PM only. These are FREE and open to anyone.
But most people are flat out just to lazy to cook at home, even with all the fantastic new kitchen products and simple recipes of the internet,
Cooking
Absolutely loved both of these movies, haven’t seen them in a while though, I might have a look if I can purchase them from a local video store or at least rent!
Cooking at home is the best way to get the healthiest food and eating with the family makes everyone closer. Why wouldn’t you learn to cook?!
I just started doing a lot of cooking from home and it’s the best change I ever made. Julie and Julia had a big influence on my decision as well as Alton Brown and Good Eats.
I have been debating doing a Good Eats Challenge and sort of copy the J&J idea.
