People Who Love to Eat

... are always the best people. A quote by the famous foodie Julia Child or as known in her time gastronome, the study of food and culture, focusing particularly on gourmet cuisine which is exactly what Julia did with her love of French food.

If you have been reading my blog for awhile then you know I love Julia Child. She is an inspiration and she changed the way of cooking forever. I did not use one of her recipes today *sigh* But I did watch Julie and Julia. The first time I saw this movie I fell in love with it. A tale between two women from two different time periods. Julie connects with Julia and makes her a part of her life. Julie's life is then changed forever. I have seen this movie more times than I can count and each time it gives me the same feeling I felt when I first watched it. It touches my heart and makes me happy.

In a recent interview I was asked if I could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would I choose. At the interview I really could not think of someone. I just listed off a couple of people. If I were asked that question now I would choose Julia Child. And I would leave the cooking up to her *wink*

Another thing you know if you've been reading my blog for awhile is that that I love guacamole. It is packed with flavor and some pretty good health benefits, such as healthy fats and vitamin E. Today I am putting it on tacos, shrimp tacos to be exact. Tacos are one of my favorite foods and I could eat them any time. My favorites are from Jimmy Hulas and Tijuana Flats. But today I whipped up some fresh guacamole and put together some shrimp tacos.

They were so good; I wish I could share them with you. I won't judge you if you tried to grab them through the screen. I mixed the shrimp with Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili sauce. I love me some sweet chili sauce. Then I topped with shrimp with my fresh guacamole, a tomato and jalapeno mixture with garlic, sour cream and lettuce. A little yet yummy dinner.

Julia is such an inspiration to me.
Her life was something most of us dream about.
She did not want to be a stay at home wife, like so many women she saw in France. Instead she went out and made her dreams a reality. And did things beyond her dreams... like her own TV show.
I have been working on making my own dreams a reality.
I know I still have a ways to go, but it feels good to be working on them.
I hope you all do the same.
