My ladies and I have been cooking this afternoon, making our entree, soup, and appetizer for the Julia Child dinner tonight. I have to assemble my apple and sausage pie before baking it, but all the ingredients are ready to go. Lynn is making potato leek soup and has to cook hers just before the ladies arrive. The fridge holds Joanne's creation of beouf bourgionne from the original Julia Child's French cookbook. Joanne said her mom had cooked from that book for many many years, especially when they lived in Belgium. They all speak fluent French in her family due to their growing up over there and Joanne actually know hows to correctly say the name of the beef casserole dish she made!

At this moment, we are sitting in the family room with our feet up, but soon we will be ready to get our dishes together. I did not want to do mine too far ahead so as not to have my crust get soggy from the Italian sausage. It will just too delicious when it is done, after I mix the apples in and pour the cheese mixture over the top. Again, yummy! Lynn is getting her soup ready to go as I write and I guess I should go in the kitchen to see if she needs my assistance finding anything. A few items need to go on the table yet but my back needed a bit of a break, so to speak, before getting busy again. As the time grows closer, I am getting more and more excited to have a dozen ladies around the table, laden with our creations, or creations from Winn Dixie! Bon appetit!
