    I finally saw Julie and Julia and I liked very much. It is such an inspiring movie for food bloggers. I went to the movies by myself for the first time in my life and I really enjoyed it. It’s not that I don’t like going to the movies with my husband 🙂 but Julie and Julia is not the kind of movie he would see at the theater and I couldn’t wait to see it on DVD. Anyway, go and see the movie, the actors did a great job!

    Enjoy these delicious shrimp tacos with chipotle slaw. They are absolutely delicious.

      I'm so glad you liked the movie, I did and I went with my hubby (brave man that he was) and his parents. Of course he says he was about the only guy in the theater but we had so much fun. He share a birthday with Julia and the theater invited anyone who was coming to bring a cake an than to celebrate with a mini b-day party after the movie - it was a lot of fun.

      Erica, another stellar dish, I am leaving on vacation next week and my pantry is being used us as a result so you are really tempting me here with all sorts of good stuff. I love shrimp tacos and theses sound amazing.

      These tacos look fabulous and I see some of my favorite ingredients here - shrimp, chipotle peppers and cilantro. Gorgeous photo too.

      My husband went to the Julie and Julia movie with me and he thoroughly enjoyed it but he likes to cook and was familiar with Julia & Paul Child. I do admit he was one of the few men in the theater though, but that kind of think would never bother him.

      My husband didn't even try to make a fuzz about it, he knew I was waiting for the movie anxiously. He actually liked it. And wow...this taco looks so delicious.
