The cooking world lost a great lady this last weekend. World Renowned french chef Julia Childs passed in her sleep 2 days before her 92nd birthday. If it were not for her, charismatic chef's like Emeril Lagasse would not be on tv today. Bamm that!

In tribute I ask that everyone have a glass of wine with at least 1 meal today

You know what's funny...well it's really not, but kinda is

I live in Houston, and a radio station here is Mix 96.5 Last year they called her up on her birthday at like 6:00am and they chatted for a bit. Well, this year, 2 days before her birthday(on Friday I think), they called her up. After 6 rings, Ryan made a joke that if after 6 rings an old person doesn't pick up, it means they're dead. They kinda smacked him for being so aloof. They got the machine and left a little message wishing her an early birthday. Well they called back around 9:00 to see if she was home and her assistant answered, informing them of the news.

Now they think they jinxed her death, or startled her in her sleep

I never really cared for her, but my mom is into that sort of thing and owns several of her cook books.

She was an old hag anyways. I bet she was a spy once though.

have some freakin respect

She lead the way to entire channels dedicated to cooking. In the process she entertained many millions of people.

i also,i have her latest baking book,the one with various bakers,i lke to bake myself and i enjoyed making a few of the recipes.

Led the way to entire channels dedicated to cooking, eh? That's a good thing? I have never found myself so mind-numbingly bored that I wanted to watch a cooking show. I beleive I'd rather have a labotomy.

An artist AND a cook, me likey
