The things that can inspire

One of the many things that inspire / motivate me are movies....Some of them have such lovely stories that urge you to go off the beaten track. Like for example - Eat, Pray love inspired me to love food, to relish every bit of morsel that I put in my mouth. 3 idiots inspired me to visit ladakh (I finally did) and now Julie & Julia is inspiring me to cook ! Though I am still trying to make basic things that other people make with ease, it feels like an accomplishment each time!

 

 

Hence proven....cooking is therapeutic !

Julie & Julia

Just finished watching Julie & Julia once more...there are no frills to the movie yet it is so delightful to watch. It makes me want to cook all those recipes, all those sauces and all those lovely looking meats but then I really don't think I want to eat something like a beef bourguignon...or bone a duck for that matter ! The best part about the movie is that Julie works at a call center, a job which she hates but goes back home to the one thing she loves - cooking and then blogging her experience. Her determination to want to finish 524 recipes in 365 days has made her what she is today - a writer... a writer who loves to cook.

 

I wonder what motivated her to want to actually cook each one of those recipes in that tiny little kitchen of hers and then eat them

for dinner everyday! Calls for a really firm stomach...and a bowlful of alerid tablets !
