What Good Cooking is All About

I'm loving the celebration of Julia Child today on what would be her 100th birthday!  I've only tried one of her recipes- hollandaise sauce from Julia's Kitchen Wisdom cookbook.  Let's just say I need to keep practicing!  But I still love the cookbook.

PBS put together this awesome video....love it!

I may have to get a bottle of  Rosé and watch Julie and Julia tonight.  Bon Appetit, Y'all!  

Way Overdue!

I can't believe I've only had two blog posts all year! When I moved back to SC a little over two years ago, I admittedly lost the connection to Grits and Gossip.  Almost all of the "Blogging Basics" articles instruct you to have a blog theme or focus.  You know the ones- home design, cooking through a famous chef's cookbook, loosing weight, and so on.  The "focus" of Grits and Gossip was always about my life in DC and staying in touch with friends and family back home.  Well....I'm back home.  Now what??

I didn't give it a second thought and planned to post about transitioning life back in to the south.  That's still the plan, but it has taken more time than I thought to find my motivation and fit blogging back into my life.  So this is one of many reasons Grits and Gossip has been on the very back burner.  Truth be told, I've missed it!      

So if anyone is still reading...thanks!  I'm excited to catch up!  How do you like the new look of Grits and Gossip?
