An Inspired Big Fat Muffin :P

Its astonishing and extremely bewildering how the likes of a workoholic can turn into a big fat bean bag,full of blueberry/chocolate chip muffins,gelatos,cheese of all classes and kind,fried fries,chips,chicken and Californian waters (registering water retention to the already dumpy bag of food).A perfect appetite for a newly-wed couple,migrated to the US of A to make a fortune,eventually transforming into "fatso-ouch-so-couch-so potato" glued to the Tulsta (Ikea's 99$ winner throne for our epic credit historybuilding process) and 4 set of lap desks (Courtesy:Dell,Apple,Hp).Fortunately,we thought we saved a fortune by not getting the big,flat screen idiot box into the apartment.Not is long lived the feeling of saviour for comes the summers and our parents hop in and the fifth box shall be introduced to us as well!

Lot of sarcastic stuff,isnt it? Factual though,believe it or not.

This post would sound contradictory though since we are going to read and relish together some foody thoughts!

Something very inspiring and encouraging to this muffin was a tete-a-tete with "Julie & Julia"-the movie starring Meryl Streep as Julia Child (the lovely actress from Kramer Vs Kramer,which was re-made in Hindi as Akele Hum Akele Tun) and Amy Adams as Julie Powell.This is a true story based on Julie Powell's novel.

Julia Child,a huge American lady ,married at 40 to Paul working for the American Embassy in France learns professional cooking and struggles successfully through publishing of  huge volumes of her books on french cooking.Her lively nature,determination and creativity make her unique and extremely lovable.

Julie,a failed writer is bound by a thankless job in a crowded city who often finds solace in cooking after a busy day.She has an understanding and encouraging husband who suggests her to beging blogging and re-discovering her talent as a writer.Julie undertakes that through this blogging mission she would make all the recipes (524) in Julia Child's cookery book (withing 365 days) and write the experiences of the same on the blog.The blog becomes an instant hit with the American household adorning Julie her due fame and encouragement.It helps her become a better human being and a descent cook.Julie begins to idolize Julia Child but is extremely jolted to receive staunch dislike from her through the press.However,she realizes that Julia has helped her grow as a person,professional and cook too!

I just find this thought irresistible.How about following Julie? Would it help me get some solace and shear joy of creativity through cooking and writing?

Who could be my Julia Child? Manjula Aunty (manjula's kitchen),Vah chef (vahrevah.com),Sanjeev Kapoor (Khana Khazana),Vishnu Manohar (Mejwani-Rangatdar recipes),Tarla Dalaal....lot of them! But,I have one name of a homely authoress who found a prestigious seat in the kitchens of my mother,grand-mother,aunts,my mother-in-law and cousins.She is the very honourable Smt.Kamlabai Ogale who penned "Ruchira".

So,will begin my quest once I receive a copy of the book from India in sometime.Till then,wait and watch :P
