Julie, Julia, Jenn, and Scott

Tonight we watched one of my favorite movies, Julie and Julia. I love this movie because it incorporates 3 of my favorite things: cooking, celebrity chefs, and NYC!
I loved Julia Child's book, "My Life in Paris". This movie is based on that book, and also on the blog of Julie Powell, who lives in NYC, and blogged about Julia Child's cookbook masterpiece, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". In her blog, she cooks the 524 recipes in MAFC in 365 days. The movie is inspiring for me as both a home cook and a food blogger, so this movie definitely hits home for me in both aspects!
What I really wanted to blog about though, is my sweet, thoughtful husband. When I suggested watching this movie, he immediately said "we should drink French wine while we watch it, and then I'll make us some French appetizers when watching all the cooking makes us hungry!"
Could I have married a more perfect person for me? A man who loves themes, just like me! :)
Here is the French snack he made for us:




Champagne, with Brie, French bread crostinis, Parrano cheese, figs, strawberries, and fig spread. All artfully prepared, and served to me during the movie. Sweet and cute- the perfect pairing!
Bon Appetite!
