I remember also when she started. She was on a local university UFH station in the afternoon when I got home from school. My job was to get supper started because my mother worked. I would run into the house drop my books down and turn on the TV. I would sit in the living room and watch her as I peeled potatoes. She made me feel better about myself as she dropped stuff, scattered flour around and flipped things as she cooked. Cooking was more then being dainty and clean while turning meat into shoe leather or cooking vegetables to mush as my mother did. I learned it was OK to jump in with both hands and get flour on yourself as long as you stayed focused on the cooking and making it good. I thought she was great and took every technique to heart. The only thing I made from her recipe on the show was egg omelette. That show came after I was married. I followed her whole career on TV and still watch reruns. She taught many of us how to cook and enjoy ourselves doing it.

Hi Dennie, this is

Hi Dennie, this is interesting. I remember when Julie Child first started on TV and we all laughed at her voice and her mannerisms, but the fact that she could laugh at herself was what endeared her to the country and why she kept on going and going and going...

I can safely say I never once made anything from a recipe of hers but I did love to watch her in action. She could flop a chicken onto a cutting board in such a way you might even think the chicken was honored to be a part of her shtick.

She lived quite a life, but it was a life nobody knew much about until her later years. It added a whole other dimension to the person some might think was no more than a clown who cooked. And look how hard we all took it when she died. That says something for how she lived.
