A Stray Cats shirt!? I just lost my appetite.
Kudos to Emily for trying the pork liver. It is only really edible if served with bacon, fried onions, and a compote of spiced apples.
Plus a cat under the table to eat the liver while you're enjoying the bacon, onions and apples.
Thank you Emily for tying your hair back and using tongs when preparing food. AHEM JULIE.
I dunno, I think it's pretty badass to flip meat with teflon fingertips earned by being a chef.
Like apprenticing as a butcher wasn't badass enough!
Point taken. I'd be touching all SORTS of things in that case.
I really want thematic hair for these.
Hmm...strangely, this woman looks nothing like Amy Adams.
I didn't realize until just now how badly the producers miscast Amy Adams.
What is wrong with you?
Put another way: The real Julie Powell is a hot bad ass and Amy Adams, while an accomplished actress wasn't really able to pull off the bad ass hotness in the same way.
I was thinking, it totally shoulda been Natasha Lyonne. She is hot and badass.
Amy Adams is more of a hot bland ass and, trust me, Julie Powell is anything but bland.
From the movie, you'd have thought Julie P. was a prig and a crybaby. Apparently not so! And if that makes me wrong, I don't want to be right. Of course, I get my dinner from a gaaaarbage caaaaaan.
Not to mention that Amy Adams has been essentially ragging on Julie since Cleaving came out. "My Julie would never have cheated." DAMN, girl! Way to ensure that you'll never get a part in the movie adaptation of this one.
Oof, really? Maybe they should shuffle the roles and let Mary Lynn Rajskub play Julie next time.
I mean, this looked good and all, but mostly now I just want to eat some Gak.
"I see this book as a tribute to our marriage."
That's the funniest thing I've read all week. I'm shocked hostess and guest got along so well.
Amy?
Right, because everyone else is such a huge fan.
Best interview, grossest dish.
And this is coming from a guy who ate chicken's feet (okay, so it was in a soup)(big deal, you wanna fight about it or something)
3/4 turn toward the camera, ladies. There is an audience out there.
This show would be much, much better with higher quality audio recording. Invest in lavalier mics for host and guest. This comment is intended to be servicey, not smart-alecky.
This is my first visit to your site - really like your concept. Enjoyed this interview - it seemed like you and Julie clicked pretty well.
