Set an empty place at the table

Julia Child, everyone's favorite chef and inspiration to countless thousands, died yesterday, just shy of her 92nd birthday.

Even though cookking was never my forte, I'd always stop my channel surfing when I'd come across Julia in the kitchen, her gentle, warbling voice wafting about along with the undoubtedly wonderful aromas in her kitchen. My mom would be inspired by her show on occasions and make the same dish. Like mom just told me, "she was a good egg".

I'm gonna miss her dearly.

I'm reminded of a comedian who once said:

"[Julia Child] could recover like no one's business. I once saw her drop an entire roast on the floor. She picked it up, dusted it off, and said, 'And remember...you're the only one in the kitchen!'"

*sigh* I'm gonna miss that voice.

Interesting side note: Julia Child was a member of British Intelligence during WWII:

That is sad. I used to watch her cooking show when I was a kid.

I know my oven mits will be hanging a peg lower for awhile.
