Ok - it was a joke...at first. Last Christmas I bought Barbara the "Anniversary" two-volume set of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. An act taken in a frenzied moment of enjoying the screen version of Julia and Julie (or vice versa - I can never remember which). The books have dutifully stood their watch on top of the mantle since Christmas, untouched but for the occasional look and declaration "someday we need to try some of these recipes."
Well it appears that someday has finally come.
This Saturday will be the day that Barbara, our daughter-in-law Macy and I will attempt Julia's Coq au Vin, a glorious chicken stew that we have made for years, but not with Julia's recipe. We got together this evening and went over the shopping list for a trip to the store.
The plan is to watch the Clemson/Maryland game at noon Saturday, and then spend the rest of the day/evening/night doing Julia.
And we shall see...
