Julia For An Evening

I hope everyone had an amazing time dressing up this past weekend. I went as Julia Child and I must say it was one of my most favorite costumes. I slept in sponge rollers like I used to when I was a kid to get really curly hair I could just pin down to make the older looking short hair style. I also came prepared with flashcards with my favorite quotes to say throughout the night in my best Julia voice; people were scared, but thats the goal of Halloween right?

Favorite Julia Child Quotes:

“The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.”

“If you’re afraid of butter, use cream.”

“Always remember: If you’re alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who’s going to know?”

“I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food.”

Sponge rollers before and after

Since I came as Julia Child I couldn’t come without food so I made a Cheesy Artichoke Pumpkin Dip. Super easy and great for a fall party because it bakes in the pumpkin.

Ernie, Minnie Mouse, Sushi, Bob Ross and his painting, and a Hunter and Bambi all made it to the party!
