So, lesson learned: an apron and pearls can do the same for an adult as a Superman cape for a kid. I have a new respect for playing dress-up.

what would julia do?
For Halloween, I was this fine lady. Much like this fine lady, she was known for being gutsy and gregarious and joyful about life. I had no strategy whatsoever about how to spend the evening as Julia except that I'd do her voice and maybe dance around with spatulas (check and check). But I realized partway through that Julia was an awesome person to be portraying. She was gutsy. And oddly, thinking about how she'd behave helped me to be gutsy too -- at least in the instance of the cream cheese and jalapeño jam appetizer that I dipped into early in the evening. (It looked appropriately, but not appetizing-ly, slimy and globby.)
