Julia's Alright

So the holidays are over and by far the best meal I had was a little chicken dish that came out of that book known as "The Art of French Cooking" by a certain Julia Child. Now I've never really been into Julia Child, at least not since she became chick flick material, but after this meal I leafed through her cook book and she gets the ODR seal of approval. Lines like "boil chicken in melted butter," and "beat six eggs into cake mix" remind me of a time when people weren't afraid of what they ate. I don't think Mrs Childs could get away with writing such a book in today's world, what with all the calorie counters and diet freaks. Sure if the world ate like Julia Child cooked we may all be a little rounder, Julia was pretty dam round herself, she was also dam happy.
