finding the true diamond in the rhinestones…
most of the time big, corporate entertainment companies put out a lot of rhinestones. lots of glitz and glitter, but no true value in the long run.
once in a while, they hit on something brilliant, a beautiful, faceted gem within all that plastic. it frustrates me to no end because i know first hand that […]
hello internet!

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
the whole story is special to me, having grown up watching her show on television. mrs. child taught me a great many things about cooking (including the fact that mistakes are okay) and her warm, engaging style comes through in the text. i could hear her warbly voice in my head the entire time i was reading.
