Julie and Julia

I went w/ some fun ladies to see this Movie I wanted to love and actually did - Since French is my Favorite food I was drooling throughout the whole movie-but so sad to report that the bad language, that was so unnecessary will prevent me from buying it when it comes out.
these pictures are from our visit to the Smithsonian 2 weeks ago
We all like to cook in our family so all enjoyed her utensils

and her kitchen

So many interesting tools

So I came home and ordered her Cookbook on Amazon:)Bon Appetit!!

My World

http://showyourworld.blogspot.com/

There are some forms of entertainment that come and go so quickly like .... Pogs - I think this picture proves that the theater is a form of entertainment that has endured A very long time


The Isis Theater was originally built in 1913 but was damaged by fire in 1935. When it was rebuilt in 1936; the theater was renamed; "The New Isis Theater".

Though it is no longer a working theater but we have many others that are and new movies make millions each week. I guess we have and maybe always will want to escape into a dark room (w/AC) and enjoy either live or film that has the magical ability to make us forget our everyday lives and take us to the unknown like the Sahara - the Amazon -or New York City.

Triple Peanut Brownies

I made these yummy things yesterday for a Family Party and they were gone before dinner
I got the recipe out of Women's World Aug. 3,2009 but they had a homemade brownie -- I was looking for Quick so I used a brownie mix

You cut up a Snickers bar and half a small bag of Peanut M&M's


add them to your brownie batter before baking as usual

then add two tablespoons of Peanut butter to a cup of your favorite recipe (or Can) of Vanilla frosting frost the Brownies and top w/ the rest of the M&M's and another Snickers bar.

Cut really small and taste because they are so yummy you won't get another bite:)


Fun Monday
