julie, julia & gladys the cooking mama

Meryl Streep is Julia Child and Amy Adams is Julie Powell in writer-director Nora Ephron’s adaptation of two bestselling memoirs: Powell’s Julie & Julia and My Life in France, by Julia Child with Alex Prud’homme.

Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends...until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

my favorite most disastrous cooking experience:
when i first entered secondary ONE, mommy was worried that i would fail Home Economics, and so she very kan cheong-ly attempted to teach me how to fry an egg.

here are the steps she advised:
1. heat up the oil
2. when the oil is close to boiling, crack the egg.
3. pour the raw egg white and egg yolk into the frying pan.
4. in half a min, viola~! egg is ready. serve with black soya sauce!

easy right? so here were the steps i followed instead:
1. heat up the oil
2. when the oil is close to boiling, start to panic and wonder wat was the next step.
3. oh ya! crack egg! crack the egg
4. pour everything into the frying pan. (INCLUDING the egg shell)
5. spend the next half minute scooping out the egg shell!
6. in half a min half hour, viola~! a pretty messy egg is ready. serve with black soya sauce...

moral of the story, it's fun learning how to cook! as long as u're not in charge of tasting the food, nor washing up. zzz.
