So, I was driving to pick up my daughters from school and listening to Talk of the Nation, which featured the glorious Nora Ephron. She was talking about how inspired she was for the "Julie & Julia" movie, which she wrote the screenplay for. And, THEN, she said that anyone who can read can learn to cook; that it wasn't like you could learn how to speak Japanese from a book. Yeppers! That's what she said. Drawing the same parallels I did to my first blog here yet? So, this makes me wonder. Did Nora Ephron read my blog? Because that would be sooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!
Speaking of Julia Child (however indirectly)! Here are some tango (words) she probably would've had to learn had she been writing recipes for the Japanese:
appuru pai (apple pie)
asuparagasu (asparagus)
naifu (knife)
supun (spoon)
pan (bread)
