Nuffnang Movie Contest - Julie & Julia

I have experienced several cooking disasters in my life. Actually I won't even consider what I did was cooking, more like making small snacks like sandwiches. Sounds easy and simple, but these small minor things I do in the kitchen becomes a disaster.

For example, toasting a bread! So easy, what could go wrong?

WELL THIS WAS THE OUTCOME!

CAN ANYONE BEAT THIS?! Shrunken full black toast with amber. Not to mention, it can glow in the dark!!!

I have bad experiences with eggs too. There was this time I wanted to cook egg mayo, so I put the water to boil then added the eggs. But me being an impatient person, took the egg out too early and the eggs turned up half raw. So I thought "why not microwave it? Microwave can "cook" food anyway". So I microwaved the eggs, and it turn out to be hard horrible lumps of inedible crap. (which I only found out after tasting it...) In the end I threw everything away and restarted the whole thing. At least the next batch turned out fine... if not I'll probably never step into the kitchen again.

Meryl Streep is Julia Child and Amy Adams is Julie Powell in writer-director Nora Ephron’s adaptation of two bestselling memoirs: Powell’s Julie & Julia and My Life in France, by Julia Child with Alex Prud’homme.

Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends…until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.
