Send me a pearl necklace!

Yesterday was "March 8th" International Women's Day, and it was also the centenary of Women's Day. Yesterday was the 82nd Academy Awards Gala. I found Meryl Streep while watching the red carpet. She was nominated for Best Actress and is very famous. "Nominated Queen". Her nominee this year is "Julie and Julia," in which she plays Julia, who teaches American Housewives French cooking.

I am interested in all her films, and I just took a half-day vacation to watch "Julie and Julia" at home.

The first time I knew the name Julia was when I read Shu Qiao's article and introduced her. At that time, I didn't know who this woman was. The vague impression was that she was tall, had a good personality, and had a husband who loved her very much. This time, Streep used her rising voice, exaggerated movements and high heels to interpret the TV cooking queen in the American housewife's heart in the film.

Julia is just an American woman who loves French food. She loves it with unreserved enthusiasm. The reason why she chooses the professional chef's course is just to better master the specific cooking methods of French food. Her appearance brought a spring breeze to the men in the classroom, from the initial defense and contempt to the later likes and praise. It doesn't need words, it can be seen in their eyes. I like the style of the teacher inside, with the snow-white chef's uniform and the snow-white beard. At first glance, he looks like a good gentleman, devoting himself to the food business he likes.

Julia and her friends tried various French cooking methods, including sauces, desserts, and meats, and created many wonderful flavors by themselves. They recorded them and typed them into thick manuscripts with the typewriters of that era. , but encountered many difficulties when it was published, and finally published it. Julia is childless, and this book is like her child, not only because of her personal contribution, but also the selfless support of her husband. He always gave her praise, no matter what the taste of the food was; he always gave her encouragement, no matter how depressed and sad she was.

During the time of this book's publication, their lives were still tumbling against the backdrop of the Cold War, from city to city, from here to there, but no matter where, there was always Julia's lively kitchen, her Colorful pots, with her high-pitched singing, and her percussion pots and pans symphony. This is life, the reality is cold but lively and full of life.

Julie is the new woman of the 20th century, with a busy, boring job and a stable marriage, but she's always surrounded by friends who are stronger than her, and she can't do her best no matter what she does. What she likes most is her small kitchen. Only when she cooks can she forget the troubles of the day and simply enjoy the joy of food.

She decided to challenge Julia's recipe, cook all Julia's food in one year, and write her own cooking experience into a blog, which is not only a spur to herself but also a record of her life. I felt the same when she was overwhelmed by a delicious meal and lay on the dirty kitchen floor, crying hysterically. Sometimes we clearly want to do our best, but find that we are not capable, so we can only think about our own failures and cry in secret. Because of some persistence, we will ignore the thoughts of people around us, and sometimes even hurt others, but we don’t know it yet, so we can only slowly reflect on ourselves through food or words, and apologize.

Julie seems to be a part of me in reality, an ordinary member of all living beings, there are always some great people around, what she likes to do are things that others despise, and she does not have too high pursuit of life, but she likes it very much. To be appreciated and praised by others. Sometimes I will ignore the existing happiness to envy the brilliance of others, and sometimes I will be content with the stability of life. This is life, so you need Julia's food to embellish it, and always give yourself something to arouse your interest. For me it may be an exam or a piece of cross stitch, and for Julie Yu is that thick cookbook.

Julie slowly began to care about other people's evaluation of her, even to the point of death. For the editor who was going to dinner, she took leave to cook Burgundy Beef Stew at home, but because of a heavy rain, only her husband was at home with her. That warm beef stew caused a family war. man ran away in anger.

I remember him saying: Your commenters would be fine without you. In this world, myself is always the most important to my relatives, and to other people, it is only a fragment of memories, but the length is different. To your loved ones and your loved ones is "You are the butter to my bread, you are the breath of my life." (Butter on bread, air in life)

Julie and Julia are women who love to cook, women who love life, both have a man who loves them, and both have many beautiful pots. Both Julie and Julia have a string of beautiful pearl necklaces. The beautiful and round pearls are like the youth polished by a woman in marriage. Although they are not so flamboyant, they are gentle.

I also want a string of pearl necklaces, but that should use my youth as a footnote and thread it with love.
