Food for the Future

I will have to be moving out of college dorm housing very soon now - quite exciting, if you ask me - which naturally means that I will have a KITCHEN! Clearly I need to plan what I'm going to be making right now. Right now, I say.

Which, obviously, brings us to the the Master of French Cooking herself,

JULIA CHILD.

Wasn't she grand?

So here are some recipes with...sexy...French titles. (OMG, I just used the word "sexy" online. There goes my credibility as a moral person.)

Quiche Lorraine - cream and bacon quiche

Pièce de Boeuf Braisée - beef braised in red wine

Poulet en Cocotte Bonne Femme - casserole-roasted chicken with bacon, onions, and potatoes

Poulet Sauté aux Herbes de Provence - chicken sautéed with herbs and garlic, egg yolk, and butter sauce

Purée de Pommes de Terre à L'Ail - garlic mashed potatoes
(P.S. The French word for potatoes, "pommes de terre," literally translates as "apples of the earth." Now you know something new. Maybe.)


I guess that's enough for now. I'm drooling too much to keep this up.



Oh, and you can be sure that I will be avoiding the section entitled "Brains." No.
