One of my favourite all time movies is Julie & Julia.
Amy Adams spectacular but HELLO Meryl Streep who truly gives a knock out performance of none other than the incomparable Julia Child.
There is a scene where Julia – NO wait Paul Child proclaims that Julia is the “Butter to My Bread” which prompted me to write this post.
I LOVE BUTTER… I love to eat it and cook with it. Butter is by far the ultimate ingredient.
Sorry….had to adjust keyboard – the words were not flowing…
Yes…butter…and my love there of.
The term “Butter to my bread” to me is quite simple.
It is of that that I love.
My Hubs..the Butter to My Bread…cause quite frankly there ain’t alot of people who will put up with this hot mess that is me!
My crew – we are pounds and friggin’ pounds of butter of complete and utter buttery mess…YAAASSS ladies – you know who you be!
My family the Butter Cream icing for my soul.
My Children – oooooffff – that melty goodness that you pour over popcorn that take away all the bads of life.
THEN…The Clarified Butter…the perfect concoction of the most highest supreme of the best dairy of life.
Evie June Brady – the true butter to my bread.
Ya Ya Ya every grand parent in existence has heralded the tales of how the grandchild has changed their lives.
But – this one – has changed my life.
Sweet and unbending as butter sometimes is – this wee one has re-educated me in the art of patience (when she is tossing her blueberries everywhere) and how to play again with crayons and stuffies and silly gibberish of the words she is trying to form.
NOTE – am pretty sure she is cursing me with the full sentences in her head that she is saying but I don’t quite speak her language….yet!
I can have the most shit day and I pick up my phone and scroll through the hundreds of photos of her just doing her daily routine and instantly I feel better.
This post is so NOT farm related – but I just had to get it out of my head.
Evie June Brady – the Butter to My Bread!!!
