The Double J

Not a ranch, and I'm guessing no ranch dressing would be allowed. The movie based on the book Julie and Julia : 365 days, 524 recipes, 1 tiny apartment kitchen will be 'in theaters soon'. Julie, the maniac, decides to cook every recipe in Julia's Mastering the art of French cooking. Hilarity ensues. So for a little light reading get on the list for Julie's book. For a lot of information on cooking, read Julia's. For something in between read:
