You've sold me on seeing this one, for sure (even though Meryl in "Doubt" doesn't draw me in). This does look fun and I do like Stanley Tucci too (he was in another food-movie - remember "Big Night"?)<br /><br />You're right! I do see a bit of the Meg Ryan attitude in Amy Adams.<br /><br />My mom used to make Leek and Potato soup and it is divine!<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-49436572495235882622009-05-29T23:21:30.020-04:002009-05-29T23:21:30.020-04:00So crazy, I just heard of this book today and was ...So crazy, I just heard of this book today and was eager to read it.

I am glad to have some time today to see what you are up to. I love Meryl Streep and I must see that Movie. Your review is wonderfully written. I think Julia child was a master at cooking. Your Potato leek soup looks so good and easy enough for me to follow. I love the immersion mixer so much and I use it frenquently.<br /><br />We are having a wonderful vacation and we won't be home for a month. Our longest vacation ever.
