Take a chance to win a private screening of “Julie & Julia”  — for you and 250 of your dearest friends to see this summer’s foodie movie based on Julie Powell’s book by the same name. The movie stars Meryl Streep as Julia and Amy Adams as Julie; and was adapted for the screen and directed by Nora Ephron. In my book, that’s a perfect trinity!

To win, just go here and fill out your name and address before August 31, 2009. I already did so and — being the eternal optimist — began planning the party I’d have for all my friends after the screening. The twenty-five second prizes are almost as good, as runners-up will receive a copy of the “Julia and Julia” book the movie is based upon,  a copy of  Julia’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” cookbook and  two movies tickets.
