That’s one of my favorite Julia Child’s quotes. I have known Julia Child four years ago from the movie Julie and Julia. I’ve forgotten the movie since then. One day, I was watching TV and found out that the next movie to be shown is Julie and Julia. Even it was late, I decided to watch and finish the movie. I was surprised that I can still remember the scenes, knowing my memory doesn’t work well with movies I only watched once. That’s when I realized that the movie was funny and very inspiring. I will definitely watch the movie again. 🙂 Before, when the food I cook is not successful enough, I would cry and I would promise myself not to cook the same food again. I always envy those people who can cook so well and arranged their foods on their plates very nicely. I wished I could be like them. Later on, a good fairy told me two things: I don’t have to be like anyone else – I just have to be me. Some recipes may seem easy for me but difficult to others and there are also some recipes I might find difficult but easy for others. Those two things stayed in my mind from then on. I’ve learned how to experiment, accepted my mistakes, smile on criticisms and try again if I fail. When the movie ended, I’ve also decided to finally make a blog to share the recipes I’ve tried. 🙂 Today, my blog is now two months – I am going to share this recipe from Julia Child. You might think that this is special because today is 23 – my blog’s birth date. Well, you got that right. As I have mentioned in the Espresso Truffle Brownies post, I wanted to make use of my almond nuts. I just found this recipe from Apron Strings by chance – I didn’t even search for an almond cake. But I guess I was lucky I found this very addictive cake. I know you cannot love something on the same spot with the same level. But when I have tasted this, I already knew I was cheating on my favorite cake – Mocha Cake. From then on, I asked myself if Mocha Cake can share its place with this new found love of mine. Believe me, it’s so heavenly!!!! Words are not enough to describe how much I love this cake. Try this and you’ll never regret it. 😀 Please follow and like us:
