Last night we watched "The Potato Show," starring butter, cream, potatoes, a squeaky oven door, and Julia Child.  It is the first episode found on Disc 1 of The French Chef with Julia Child, which was not only added to my Netflix queue immediately upon my return from watching Julie and Julia, but catapulted right to the top!

Meryl Streep reenacts an excerpt from "The Potato Show" in Julie and Julia.  If you have seen the movie and enjoyed it as much as I did, you MUST find a way to also watch the original.  I think you'll enjoy it, plus you'll learn how to make 4 very nice potato dishes.

Only 196 to go!  (You must watch.)

I am also still reading My Life In France and enjoying it so much.  Who knew?  Really.  Appetite For Life will be added to my reading list, as well; I can't imagine a better title for a book about Julia Child.

Mmmm, potatoes...

...from the archives.  Some good stuff there.

A good and busy weekend ahead that will include lots of family, an art show, a photo shoot.  I hope you have a good one, too.

Edited to fix some linkage problems and also to add...

P.S.  Have I mentioned knitting AT ALL lately?  I haven't done much this week.  I pulled it out last night and FINALLY added the fourth (and final) ball of root sizing silk to the Transverse Scarf -- 3/4 DONE... um, make that 3/4 FINISHED!  (Hi Mom.)
