received these last Tuesday. what a lovely surprise! i wasn't expecting them to arrive this early, as the estimated delivery date was sometime next week. but i can't complain about The Book Depository's wonderful service!! (free shipping to NZ! how can you beat that!)

julia child is my inspiration. she didn't learn how to cook until she was in her late 30s and became really good at it. i want to be like her; i want her passion for cooking and teaching. i love how she was able to live a good life through good food. i better eat that sole meuniere now and get that flame ignited!
