Tomorrow is Julia Child's birthday. She would have been 97.
One way to celebrate is to spend next Thursday evening at A Southern Season's cooking school. Starting at 6 p.m., the cooking school staff will cook a Julia Child-themed menu, including ratatouille, sole meuniere and a jam peek-a-boo tart made with puff pastry.
The cost is $35. To reserve a spot, call 929-7133 or go to the Web site.
