Thanks for the reminder Kevin, I also thank you for the links to Julia Child shows!
I can see your point about 'buy American'.
But me for one am really happy that we have broadened our horizons in the food market.
If it was left up to British food manfactures we'd still be eating meat and two veg every day in this country with fish fingers being labled exotic.
I'm laughing but it is true.
In this country I can remember frozen hamburgers being a NEW product, and I'm not that old.
I remember the first supermarket opening in our area, when I think back, it was really small but we thought it was fantastic.
Part of Walmart is our ASDA stores and I find it much better than any other chain we have. They have a great customer ethics. It knocks spots of Tesco, who I find arrogant, and snobby, unhelpful and even frozen brussel sprouts and maple syrup are deemed as seasonal goods.
I have had words with the manager on many occasions but nothing comes of it.

I went to see it at 12:01 this morning. My first premier.
It is wonderful, opens with the offloading of the huge, blue, Buick station wagon mentioned in the book, in Paris.
I did not read Julie's book, think I might now. Read so much bad about it, but I want to know her better. Have read Julia's several times.
Only complaint, it's not long enough!!!
Enjoy,
Nan

I read the autobiography co-written w/ her nephew Paul- "My Life in France" but I haven't read "Julie & Julia" yet.
I'm seeing the movie Sunday Night w/ a co-worker.
My sister and a friend of her's stopped by and rang my bell and woke me up at noon today (remember- I work nights/sleep days!) and asked if I wanted to tag along w/ them for the 1:00PM showing. But I was half-asleep and didn't feel like rushing about the shower and dress in time...
Glad you liked it, Nan! I can hardly wait!
