Cooking with Julia

Hi Everyone. I'm sitting at the kitchen table watching the timer so I don't forget about the pie crust in the oven. It's for a good old fashioned French chicken pot pie. I fixed Dad breakfast this morning--a veggie omelet with avocado, salsa and sour cream atop--and he asked me if I wanted to take a picture before he ate it. It was pretty. And I'm sorry I didn't do it. I was preoccupied with the tart I was making.

Here is a picture of the tart! Isn't it pretty?

I had a lot of help making it. I set my computer on the end of the counter and watched each step as Julia performed it, then I paused her and I did the same. Yesterday when I was making the dough (so I could chill it overnight) Dad said he couldn 't wait for me to start talking like Julia. She had a kind of high pitched sing song voice. A few minutes later when I burst out in imitation of her, the cat, who was crossing the room, startled, jumped, and ran out of the room. Dad and I cracked up! It was too funny!!
