Bon Appetit!
Julia Child has passed away. I raise my bottle of cooking sherry to toast a very influential woman. She made dinner, art. Died in her sleep at 91. Cheers

They will save on all that embalming fluid.She has,so much wine,in her already,that MOST of her organs,are already saturated,with alcoholic fluid!

I just saw her with Jacques Pipin on the food channel. She didn't look a day over 89. I used to watch her show as a kid.Very entertaining.She was a great lady and will be missed.

I always liked watching her. She would make such a mess when she cooked which is something I always felt I could do with the same ease.
Bon Appetit Julia!

not only was she entertaining and a good cook, she was also a bona fide spy. She was an agent in the OSS (the fore runner of today's CIA) during World War II.
