For those of us who follow the food blogosphere, Julie Powell is a familiar name. Her recently published book, Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen, is based on her own food blogging chronicles. She's in the Times' Magazine this week, writing about how her meals are changed now that she lives alone in a studio on the Upper East Side. Gone are dinners of pork chops in cream sauce, potatoes, meat. In their place, she makes simple things like a garlic soup with a poached egg, which she eats night after night, alone, until the large pot she made runs out.
Sounds a lot like my weeknight dinners.

maybe they cracked under the pressures of her new-found success?
