A possible contradiction -- and my inspiration

Not sure if the name I've chosen for my blog is particularly apposite.  How could it be 'Sam Crumb's Occasional Blog' if I have already written four blogs in the space of a few hours and all on the same day?  Oh, well.  My inspiration for writing a blog came from a hugely enjoyable dvd we watched recently called 'Julie and Julia.'  It combined many of the things I enjoy so much - good food, wine, France, a well-written story, humour, romance - and it came with a free cook book, a digest from Mastering the Art of French Cooking.  In fact we're eating from it tonight.  The famous Beef Burgundy recipe.  In the film, the modern day heroine starts a blog aiming to cook every recipe from Julie Child's book within a single year.  Loved every minute of it and Meryl Streep is a hoot.  Mind you, Amy Adams is adorable.  Time for some ginger tea to warm up.  At least the snow has stopped.
