Julie & Julie by Julie Powell

It’s the summer of 2010, before construction wiped out the little forest standing outside our window. A tiny plot just behind my building, left untended to grow all it could, taller than my 4-story walkup. We still had cable then too, with the Starz + Encore channels being my choice of entertainment, my mom and I enjoyed the 90s blockbuster reruns what can I say? It was lunch, or maybe dinner, (summer break blurred my days a bit) and Starz was airing last year’s hit ‘Julie and Julia’.
