Julie and Julia by Shelley Lance

This article from USA Today includes a great little slide show of photos from the upcoming new movie, “Julie and Julia,”  based on the Julie/Julia Project.   Here’s the story: an unemployed-at-the-time young woman named Julie Powell, bored, anxious, and at loose ends, cooks her way through both volumes of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and blogs about it daily.  Her blog, called the Julie/Julia Project, becomes an internet sensation that changes her whole life.  Modern day fairy tale ending….. Book Deal!  and- now- Movie Deal!!  I’m quite excited about the chance to see Meryl Streep playing Julia Child!

I found this article on Josh Friedland’s excellent blog, The Food Section, which I’ve been following for years.  He found it via Simply Recipes.
