Has anyone had the pleasure of watching Julie and Julia? It's a cute little flick about a young woman who decides to blog about cooking her way through Julia Child's Infamous cookbook. It also parallels the life of Julia Child while she was writing the book itself. The book took several years for Julia to write,, and it was fascinating learning about her life experiences. But I digress, the one thing I always wanted to make a La Julia Child style was her Boeuf Bourguignon. Alas, tonight I finally made it and it was delicious! If something incredibly rich with multiple levels of flavor doesn't appeal to you, then you should NOT try this recipe. I absolutely adored it and seeing as our weather has been bordering closer to late fall than late spring, today's rain deemed appropriate for this heavy meal. I tried not to mess with it too much, but I didn't have all the herbs on hands so I had to improvise marginally. Also, my sauce finished beautifully right out of the oven so I didn't strain it or mess with it any further. I just added the mushrooms and onions and served over egg noodles with crusty french bread. So yummy. Please give it a try if you haven't already, and if you feel like you are not an experience cook, this was fairly easy to make. The steps outlined from the link below are exactly how they appear in her book, but just a little clearer text. Happy eating!

Some family trees have beautiful leaves, and some have just a bunch of nuts. Remember, it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking
