..on Plutos Classic TV channel. Shes such a jewel and I could never find her except on public tv fundraising sites where you get a DVD for a hefty donation.

They play her earlier b/w shows as well as the later shows where she hosts a guest chef.

Many of the episodes are Saturday Night Live worthy especially the episode where she makes bouillabaisse..'just chop up a live lobster and put it in the stew'...

I have actually found a recipe Im going to try this weekend...Julia Childs Marco Polo Spaghetti.

1. Thank you for that info, samnsara.

8. youre very welcome

2. I used to see her striding through Harvard Square with her husband

trailing behind. Once I was excited to meet her -- but alas, she didn't come to the door when I delivered an item she'd loaned my office. She said through the intercom to just leave it on the stoop. That sprightly voice wowed me though!

6. even the very latest shows where shes shrunk down to a paltry 6 ft shes sharp as ever

..that same Atlantic accent and distinctive voice. She really is an American gem...

Im going to deglaze everything with red wine now.

3. I'll send my wife over

5. sure! hubby cooks at our house and hes in seattle now so I have already..

..sent him the recipe. Her recipe is still out there in Google-land. The sauce has chopped walnuts instead of meat...but after watching the Kids Baking Championship for years all I can say is Toast your Nuts!

I refuse to chop up a live lobster however (or skin an eel) "nail its head to a board take pliers and pull the skin all the way off'

4. my faves are the ones w jacques pepin.

they are just such an adorable pair, and the conversation is so much more than sharing recipes.

aside- my family happened to be in bar harbor when she died.
the whole town went into mourning.

7. such a loss for the community AND for America...

[mopinko]

10. i was glad we were there.

it was a bit like being invited to the funeral.
always loved her but never occurred to me i'd ever get even that close.

made the lobster all the more memorable, that's fersher.

9. Her biography, An Appetite For Life, has a most unexpected...

…quote. When handling hot pasta with bare hands, she is said to have remarked-

“These damn things are hotter than a stiff cock!”

I remember being most surprised when I read that passage.

11. Julia Child and Anthony Bourdain

... what if they had made cooking shows together?

It would have been so awesome.

12. I'm so glad this was on the front page! Hubby found it via Roku & we're having a blast!

13. She was not just a Chef... She was a spy
