Julia Child goes to the Celestial Banquet
TV Chef Julia Child Dies at 91
God rest her!
What a wonderful woman, whom I had the honor and privilege to meet and cook for 20 years ago at a KERA event.
She was so gracious and friendly and you really can prepare her dishes!
Notice that even with her diet of "high carbs" and butter, she passed away in her sleep at the tender age of almost 92 and was vigorous until the end.
I'm so glad that President Bush awarded her the Medal of Freedom just last year.
With her indomitable spirit, her flair and grace and the example she set of re-inventing and perfecting herself long after she passed the age of 50, this lady will be an example and role model to me always!
May Light Perpetual shine upon this American original.
