I loved the Julia/Julie blog some time ago and I've enjoyed what I've found on yours as well. I love reading about food and cooking.I've admired the French Laundry cookbook from afar but never purchased it so this is a great way to explore it. Now I have to go back and start at the beginning and see what I have missed. I picked one word to focus on this year-spirit-which can mean all sorts of things. I am looking forward to see what it brings into my life.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041872314763651462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543389752792247888.post-20821793220911721852008-01-02T08:59:00.000-05:002008-01-02T08:59:00.000-05:00Holy crap, Sandra Lee actually inspired something ...Holy crap, Sandra Lee actually inspired something other than cringing and winging?

I am not a great cook but I have Michel Richard's beautiful cookbook and it intimidates the hell out of me. So it's fun reading along with someone who's tackling stuff I'm too scared to make.

You had a great idea for a project, and naturally you write well, but it's your personality, honesty, and *fearlessness* (wow do I envy that) that's made this blog so special.<BR/><BR/>I really identified with what you said about the "boredom problem." I think we have solved that for 2008 as we have bought our first house...a great space, but man does it need a ton of work. So yeah, the (optimistic) theme for 2008 will be "The Year I Renovated a Victorian Home (Without Going Bankrupt)." Once our kitchen is remodeled (!) I am hoping to dive into Ruhlman's "Elements," "Charcuterie," and make use of my new KA meat grinder and sausage-stuffer. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'll continue to enjoy cooking vicariously through your kitchen adventures...cheers!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026722314412997694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543389752792247888.post-2599241710150829752008-01-01T09:35:00.000-05:002008-01-01T09:35:00.000-05:00Somebody already said it, but I'm going to say it ...Somebody already said it, but I'm going to say it again, 'cause it's so true.

And, weirdly enough, just before reading your post today, I created my own post about the 2008. I called it, "The Year of Yes." <BR/><BR/>Being a marcom/PR person (like yourself, it seems), however, I hesitated to go into any detail about what that term meant to me. But, now I don't have to. You did a great job of it. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>I'm eager to dig back through your archives to see how your project's been going. What fun!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the inspiration on the writing & sharing of self. Seriously. My career means I monitor my voice and words in every way, shape and form. It's cool to see you strike a balance, and share your life and humor, too. <BR/><BR/>Cool, you.

I can't wait to keep reading next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that. It's so clear from your writing that you love what you do and that you're having a great time doing this, as well as everything else in your life. We should all be so lucky, eh?
