Julie Powell: [voiceover, blogging] 353 days to go. A horrible day at work. An old grandma who looked as if she wouldn't harm a fly called me a pencil-pushing capitalist dupe. But then I came home and cooked chicken with cream, mushrooms and port, and it was total bliss.

Sarah: [voiceover, blogging] Yesterday, I poached an egg. It seemed like the perfect thing to do on perhaps the second worst workday in recorded history.
Sarah: Explain to me how you've never eaten an egg in your whole life ?
Julie Powell: I've had eggs in, like, cakes, never had an "egg" egg. I was a very willful child. It's

simmering.
[voiceover, blogging]
Julie Powell: I had this notion, God knows why, that poaching eggs would be simple.
[Julie breaks an egg]
Julie Powell: But I was deeply wrong.
Sarah: [Sarah read the cookbook] "Immediately and gently push the while over the yolk with a wooden spoon for two or three seconds."

Immediately.
Julie Powell: [Julia stirs but without success] Yurk, disgusting!
Sarah: Oh, maybe the eggs aren't fresh. Julia says the eggs have to be fresh.
Julie Powell: They are fresh.
Sarah: Okay, You don't have to bite my head off. I'm just quoting Julia.
Julie Powell:

[voiceover, blogging] It took three of us, crammed into the kitchen over a pot of simmering water, but, enventually, we nailed it.
Sarah: Hello
Julie Powell: Welcome.
Eric Powell: How cute is that ?
