- Thanks so much, Jack.

Jack Donovan, this is my wife, Julia.

- It was such a wonderful exhibition, Paul.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- I am so proud of you.

- Oh, good.

French people eat French food!

- Every single day! I can't get over it.

- They do.

You know I love you so much,

I'm gonna let you take the first bite.

- That's so good.

- Before I even had... It's good, is it?

What should I do, do you think?

About what?

I don't really want to go back into

government work.

You know, but I...

Shouldn't I find something to do?

These wives don't do anything here.

- That's not me. It's just not me.

- I know.

I saw a notice on the bulletin board

at the embassy

for hat-making lessons.

You like hats.

I do, I do.

I do.

What is it that you really like to do?

Eat.

- It's what I like to do.

- I know, I know. I know. I know.

- And you are so good at it. Look at you!

- I am good at it.

- Now. How good you are.

- I'm growing in front of you.

I was thinking of taking bridge lessons.

- You like bridge.

- I do. I like the idea of bridge.

Four points for an ace,

three points for a king,

two points for a queen, one point for a jack.

And breast your cards.

Do you have any French cookbooks

in English?

- I'm afraid not.

- Gosh.

The salesperson. She...

Had no idea... Because, you see,

there is no French cookbook in English.

And all I have is this Joy of Cooking

by Irma Rombauer,

which is an excellent, excellent cookbook,

but it's not French.

So I did ask my friend Avis De Voto

to look around in the United States

to see if she could find...

Right. Right.

Gosh, I thought I was

speaking French to you!

Oh, my goodness!

What do we have here?

- It's a copy of...

- It's my memoirs.

Oh, look.

Oh, it's fantastic! But it's in French!

- You'll get there. You'll get there.

- Thank you, darling.

I know. I'm learning. I'm trying. I'm really...

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday.

- What can this mean?

- What?

- "Wash the thighs."

- No, "bathe." Bathe the thighs.

- Look, but then...

- Where?

"In butter." I know that. But what is the...

"Bathe the thighs in butter

and then stuff the..."

What's that word?

- The hen!

- Right. Hen.

"Until she just can't take it anymore."

- It doesn't say that.

- It does.

I'll show you later in the dictionary.

I'll go through the whole recipe with you.

- Why don't I go to cooking school?

- Why don't you?

- I'm serious.

- So am I.

Oh, my God.

What if you hadn't fallen in love with me?

But I did.

Oh, gosh.

Yesterday was Tuesday, August 13th, 2002.

Day one. 364 days to go.

I cooked artichokes with hollandaise sauce

which is melted butter that's been whipped
