Julie and Julia

I am watching Julie and Julia today while I fold laundry. I absolutely love that movie. I so relate with Julie who is struggling to find her purpose, who is sometimes selfish and has emotional breakdowns, and who has a fabulous husband who puts up with her. I also relate with Julia, who absolutely loves food, both the cooking and the eating. I wish I could go to cooking school in Paris. Anyway, no use dwelling on things I can't have. Instead, I just keep enjoying cooking and baking!

This weekend, I made the most delicious peanut butter sandwich cookies. They were so cute too. I was told more than once that they look professionally done. They were cute little ruffle-edged cookies with a creamy peanut butter filling. Keith said they tasted just like nutter butters. I would have posted a picture of them, but last night, Keith ate ALL of the remaining cookies! Sorry!

I won't be cooking or baking anything new for a few days - I am having a second back surgery on Thursday. Tonight I have to study for my Anatomy and Physiology class and tomorrow night I have class, so cooking will have to wait. Instead I have to concentrate on the housework that I won't be able to do for the next few weeks. Today, I cleaned the bathrooms, did laundry, and did the dishes. Tomorrow, I am going to tackle the floors, my most hated chore of all. Ok, the break is over...on with the work!
