Recommended.

Chicken in milk - Jamie Oliver, complete with charming directions, like “baste when you remember.”

Salsa verde - Not what you think, and deeelicious tossed with roasted potatoes.

I know I have been a delinquent blogger lately, but these are a step towards making it up to you. Really. They are that good.

Good to know.

1) Thank God for Meryl Streep. Not really a lesson learned, but a reminder that Meryl is absolutely amazing. Saw Julie + Julia and spent nearly all of the Julia portions grinning at the screen like an idiot.

2) Related, Julia Child was sassy. Of course I feel like a doofus for realizing this now. I was telling someone recently that I remember seeing JC on TV as a kid and thinking she was such a dork — pretty sure me and my sister made endless fun of her. And then I never revisited my childish prejudice until it was trendy to do so. Resisting the urge to buy her memoir and/or Mastering the Art of French Cooking (which is up to #1 on Amazon right now thanks to the movie, I believe). Also, obviously buying the cookbook would be foolish as I have no urge to bone a duck anytime soon.

3) “You are the butter to my bread, the breath to my life.” In other words, Julia Child and Paul Child = amazing. Never expected Meryl and Stanley Tucci to have such chemistry.

4) Only because it’s on the same note (food that will fatten you): It is possible to take a dinner roll and inject it with blue cheese, bacon and peach jam. It is also TOTALLY A GREAT IDEA.

5) Siberia used to export something like 16% of the world’s butter. Did you hear that, Julia?

Jay-Z ft. Beyonce- Bonnie and Clyde 03

DID ANYONE REALIZE LT. DANIELS (from the Wire) WAS IN THIS VIDEO?

(I admit the reason I realized this was because I wanted to listen to the song, and not because of a  higher cultural cause.)
