On a happier note

I couldn't let the last post be on top of my blog for too long. Oh, gosh - such sadness and frustration are not good for anybody! Over to something much, much happier. Yesterday T and I watched Julie and Julia, and I really, really loved it. It is such a cute, happy movie, especially in the beginning. I loved watching how Julie and Julia found themselves, developed and became more themselves through cooking.
It also made me really want to do some more fancy cooking, just in line with some of the other things I have been watching lately, namely clips of the sumptuous Nigella Lawson. You can find lots of clips with her on youtube, and it is so inspiring. I like her so much more now that she has stopped saying that everything is so quick, and then goes on to having pre-chopped, bre-baked, pre-boilt everything. Now, there are fewer ingredients and more real time stuff, and that is so nice.

Good cooks are really inspiring if you ask me, and now all I can think about are butter based sauces, like hollandaise, bearnaise and sandefjordssmør. In my head all I can think is this line from "Little Women": "Oh, isn't butter divinity?"

Tomorrow we are having eggs benedict. I am so looking forward to it!
