I LOVE Julia!

Yesterday, Dian and I went to see Julie and Julia.....and loved, loved, loved it! Meryl Streep was magnificent as Julia Child....and both the stories were wonderful. What an undertaking to cook ones way through a cookbook in a year. and, for that matter, what an undertaking to actually write a cookbook - although it did take her longer than a year to do it. I realize these days the food network folks crank out a cookbook almost every year but I betcha none of them had to go through the hoops Julia Child did! Aside from the fact that my resolve is nothing like Julie's, I really doubt I could have cooked every single recipe in the book, back in the day. Now I let Stouffers do my cooking for me....

I took Fritz to the vet this morning. Every morning from 9 to 11 they have open hours where you can bring your pet without an appointment. The place was packed! Fritz has been chewing on a spot on his hind leg - and I wanted to get something to stop that...besides I knew he was behind on his shots. Dr. said that he probably had arthritis in his "knee" and that's why he was chewing.. Gave him some pain pills which I give to him for a week and he should be okay from now on. I surely never noticed he was having pain....still jumps up and down just fine. He got his shots and we were on our way. Lots of dogs there today, as well as cats. Soon as we got there he started trembling and sat on my lap the whole time we were waiting. Didn't even bark at the big dogs - which is so unlike him. He still weighs 9 pounds like he has for most of his life. I also took him for grooming on Saturday and once again he looks like a toy fox. So cute! Needless to say, I love my dog!! - and he needs to go out again....talk to you later.
