I didn’t watch her show but my mother did, so I’d see bits here and there. Her voice was odd, no doubt.
But mainly, I’d think, “I wouldn’t want to be in a kitchen with her and her ‘implements of destruction’ “. LOL!

A 6'2" woman with a shrill voice standing over a large dead animal of questionable identity with what appears to be a Samurai in her hands?

I would give her some distance.

Hello, Kathy! Hello, all!

Just a quick drop by before bedtime, saying a prayer for a Facebook friend who lost his father today, a WWII marine. Be at rest, Mr. Timar, Thank you for your service.

Though Julia Child, with characteristic Yankee modesty, was to disparage, in numerous interviews, her wartime career as “a clerk,” Paul revealed otherwise. In a letter to his twin brother, he declared her “privy to all messages both incoming from the field or Washington, etc., and outgoing to our agents and operatives all over China-Burma-India.”

You might want to read her autobiography. I was shocked at how much she despised Republicans, particularly her father who financed her life in France as her husband’s salary was insufficient. She was also particularly cruel to her business partner Simone, who helped make her the celebrity she was. When her friend was dying and asked for help in maintaining gardens of the property where Julia and Paul were allowed to build a house for free, Julia didn’t want to help as she would lose her vacation time in doing so. Maybe a hero, but not a nice person.

She endorsed a book condemning the Blessed Mother.I fought and had it removed from our local library.Turns out she didn't like Catholics.

There are layers and layers of perception here.
I think she is fantastic.

We will never know the full ledger, but on sum, she led an exemplary life.

She is an interesting piece of our history.

I rarely watched her show, but she seems like a crazy woman...things flying everywhere. She seemed to be having pure fun.

Maybe that says something about this picture.

A tribute of a different sort. Nostalgic nonetheless...
