Gay Paris!

I want to go to France. Well and England too, but right now, France.

I've been watching too many movies with France in them and I am dying to speak en francais encore!

I am desperately craving triple cream Brie, French baguette and caramelized onions. Instead, I have marble cheese, whole wheat bread and raw onions :(

And butter. I love butter. I love butter and bread. I love bread too.

Do you know the 3 most important ingredients in French cooking?

Butter. Butter. And butter. Butter is heaven in a brick.

Mmmmm...I am dying in a pool (of drool really) of butter in my dreams!

Have you seen the movie Julie & Julia? You must. You simply must. I would love to work my way through Julia's cookbook but frankly I feel no need to eat Aspics and Pates (add your own accents, I can't figure out my keyboard!). I do, however, feel a need to eat chocolate cake smothered in icing. Any cake smothered in icing.

I love baking too. I believe I have the cookbook, Baking with Julia. I'd be more than happy to work my way through that cookbook.

Here's the real question...can my hips take the challenge???!!
