I have read through the first week of Julie's cooking travails. Have you figured out how to use the navigation? Just click here, and then click on the calendar dates to move you forward in time. I can see why people were so captivated by her idea. And she really did seem to have an instant-audience. I felt compelled to sign her blog too (entry dated August 27, 2002).

Three things come to mind as I read. One, how much will all these ingredients cost? Frenchy ingredients, namely all the meat, cheese and butter, are not cheap. Two, what did her cholesterol become? Three, wouldn't one just become so cumulatively full, that one could not bear yet another heavy meal? I am glad she got a book deal out of this. The journey could not have been easy. Cooking fish in a small apartment? She is brave. I am really enjoying reading the blog.
