Julia Child!

I've often discussed cooking, Julie and Julia, and culinary experiments here, but I feel that at least one more discussion is utterly necessary. I got Mastering the Art of French Cooking for my 21st birthday. I plan to experiment with it all through our upcoming spring break, including recipes that involve red wine, because we're not allowed to have that in our possession on campus. Of course, boeuf bourguignon calls for a full three cups of it, which means that I can only cook it off campus. Maybe that makes me a rebel or something. I also want to try making a real omelette, because the only omelette I've ever had was made by the cafeteria people here at school. I'm not sure that I'm coordinated enough to create one, because you need to move the frying pan rapidly back and forth with one hand while stirring the egg in the pan with a fork using the other hand. It sounds complicated, but I think it will probably end up being like rubbing your head while patting your stomach. Once I get the hang of it, maybe it will be easy...?
