lemonade

i've recently fallen in love with julia child. i know, cliche for a blogger to only really get to know her because of "julie & julia". but i personally thought the movie would have been worlds better if julie never even came into play. reading "my life in france", it's evident that julia child really lived a full life. she had so much enthusiasm for everything; cooking, travel, her husband, even perfect strangers at the paris farmer's market. julia's insatiable thirst for life is my newest inspiration not only in the kitchen, but in my own life.

in honor of julia, i want to wake up everyday & make the most of it. i want to squeeze every drop out of my daily lemon. i want to eat ice-cream (or frozen yogurt...) for breakfast, cook bananas foster just to play with fire, smile to strangers on the street & wear my new leather skirt on a friday night because i want to!

here's to a bright new week. happy monday :)
