Aug 16 04: bon appétit
I can only edit so many pages of fourth-grade mathematics tests at a throw—yeah, that’s the current project, but it may be over by the end of the week—so off and on during the day I take little breaks to give my brain something else to think about. The internet is, of course, brilliant for this.
Today, via überblogger Anil Dash, I found Julie’s thoughts on Julia. A lovely rumination on Julia Child. She didn’t know Julia any more than any other North American who’d been alive since 1961. But it was clear that Julia’s life and legacy and famous cookbook had meant a lot to her.
A couple of mouseclicks later, I began to understand why. Julie spent a year cooking her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking and writing about her experience. I’m only a few weeks into her account, called The Julia/Julie Project. But I’m vouching for it right now anyway. It will make you smile. It will also make you hungry. Go read.
