In Memoriam: Julia Child; 1912-2004

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:01 am by trueepicure

There just wasn’t anyone like Julia Child. I grew up watching her cook on PBS, thanks to my parents who wouldn’t let me watch broadcast television until I was 10. Afternoon television consisted of Sesame Street, the Electric Company, and the French Chef. This explains a lot about my life.

Mrs. Child met her husband while working for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the intelligence agency that preceded the CIA. No, she wasn’t a secretary, she managed an office and ran operations. She was a real, live Charlie’s Angel - but better!!

You know those annoying braclets/bumper stickers that say WWJD? You *thought* the “J” was for Jesus. In reality (mine, at least) the ”J” stands for Julia!

For those of you who keep getting those scam-o-grams from so-and-so in Nigeria/Chad/Republic of Cogo/your African country of choice here: ScamORama. Apparently some people have WAY too much time on their hands.

Julia Child died on August 13, 2004. She was 91. She is deserving of her own entry, so I shall write one after this.

Ever watch “Growing Up Gotti”. That is one messed up show. Sheesh.
