Today would have been Julia Child's 100th birthday. So in her honor, check this out -- the late great chef as you've never heard her, in an autotune remix by John D. Boswell, aka melodysheep (who did something similarly cool a few months back with Mr. Rogers). Bring on the roasted potatoes!
(Thanks, Brian.)
Cheryl Baum, a nurse at Duke, will be on The Rachael Ray Show tomorrow, (10 am ABC- 11) talking about her challenge to cook a Rachael Ray recipe every day for a year.
Naturally, the idea was inspired by the hit film "Julie and Julia"in which a
woman did the same thing using Julia Child's recipes. But Cheryl had another reason -- she's getting married in December.
"I was a terrible cook," she says. "I would use Shake & Bake for any type of meat, add a bag salad and that was dinner."
Angie Door of Raleigh. She is the winner of the "Julia's Kitchen Wisdom" cookbook.
Don't worry readers, there will be other chances to win. I'm plotting my next cookbook giveaway as I write this post.
PBS is offering online viewing of Julia Child's classic cooking shows. Plus folks can share their Julia stories, find recipes and other cooking tips.
The winner of the Julie & Julia tickets is Ruth Whiteside. She was chosen randomly from the less than 30 correct entries. Many who entered were tripped up the most by the Valentine's Day card question. Believe it or not, Child and her husband did pose in the bathtub filled with strategically placed bubbles.
I'll have a winner of the "Julia's Kitchen Wisdom" book later today, so check back.
Midnight tonight is also the deadline to win a copy of "Julia's Kitchen Wisdom: Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking," by Julia Child.
