My holiday weekend featured a fair amount of baking, which I hope to write about later on this week, as well as tasty dinners both higher end (Aroma) and low (all hail my local Cuban diner! Es muy delicioso!) Also, I finally saw Julie & Julia this holiday weekend, and my brain is still full, so that’s what today’s post is all about.

Well played, sir. (more…)
