Julia was indeed a grand lady.

I remember one of her cooking shows - she was fixing chicken, she said, “Save the livers” - that phrase showed up on a late night show and became a staple for Julia.

Yung - Yum.....

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...ready for the new week?

Did your choir perform well? Quartet? Bright and sunny day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion...she was an amazing lady.

How is your winter going? It’s horrible here....cold, warm, cold, warm.

Recovery proceeding slowly. I expect to go in tomorrow, but we have an ice storm coming in - they set a two-hour delay for schools here at 5:00 this afternoon, and the storm is not expected to start until after midnight.

We have not yet installed the gate - I haven't been able to do much the last few days and we have had weather issues.

Just a trio...our guitar player wasn’t feeling well. Probably a cold.

It rained, but we have a lovely tent now! :-)

Is that a fish?

[Kathy in Alaska]

She sure was. Good evening, HJ.

Good evening, workerbee...who would have thought. Quite a gain for the OSS.

[ConorMacNessa]

I always enjoyed watching her on TV - she was great at improvising when things did no go according to plan - probably got that from her background in intelligence work.

I enjoyed her program too...and i don’t even like to cook! LOL!

She had a terrific sense of humor.

How many only know of her because of this classic SNL skit?

Good evening, EX...((HUGS))

Hope you’ve had a nice weekend.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, ML!

*HUGS*

If I recall correctly, her shows were recorded at her home in Connecticut, and the overhead views were an innovation in cooking shows.

Her shows were informative and great fun - she was unpretentious, unlike some who now perform.

I have known for many years of her service in the OSS in WWII - like most of the WWII vets I have known, you would hear nothing of it out of her own mouth.

It was one of the first thoughts that went through my head!

Bon Apetit!

She was the first cooking show that “made it”. Now they have entire channels dedicated to food!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Off to Costco to pick up a cake. Back in a bit.

[ConorMacNessa]

A classic - I remember it well!
