The other thing that annoyed me about the film (and Powell's blog/book) was the whole idea behind it. What on earth was so special about doing every recipe in one year? Every recipe might be interesting, but deadline just made it seem silly and artificial -- and against the whole ethos of Julia Child's cooking, which was to ENJOY (and celebrate) food, not make it a chore.

And then, to make it worse, by the end of the year the silly b_tch hadn't learned anything. Day 365, and the self indulgent little cow is still making noob mistakes.
