Happy Birthday, Julia

Today is Julia Child’s birthday. She would have been 106. I watched Julia on television when I was a kid, and was enchanted with what she was doing. To a good extent, Julia was unknowingly responsible for my love of cooking, and indeed, eating. She was a one-off genuine individual; ground breaking, hard working and very intelligent. I still watch her old black and white shows on DVD and will never tire of her (in opposition to the majority of TV “chefs” currently airing) lack of polish, corny shtick, and mistake-free flair. Her enthusiasm, charm, and sincere love of what she did still come through just as strongly as they did to a youngster that liked to bake pies with his grandmother, and the occasional Chicken Kiev. Thank you Julia, cheers!
