August

At this time every year I remember a cartoon I saw years ago. Can't say who was the cartoonist but it went like this...
"August is God's way of renewing the age old question. Is this planet inhabitable?"
It's almost August!!! Enjoy and hope we all survive!

I Could Never Get Enough of Julia Child 

Not Way Back Then Nor To This Day

Years ago in Austin TX the TV was turned on only for the shows my parents picked for us to watch. Most I remember, some I don't. Some like Perry Mason I watch to this day. I remember the excitement in the house when my parents found out the The French Chef  was going to start showing on our station. Being teachers they were great supporters of NET (National Educational Television). It was the Boston NET station WGBH that created the 1963 television show with Julia Child being herself. Educator, enthusiast, humorist, and a charmingly darn good cook. To be honest I must say that my father and I were the most dedicated viewers in my family.  But I do believe that my whole family became and remain devoted to Julia Child. Just mention her and we all smile. 

Quotes are Quotes

Some are nice. Some are really funny. Some are poignant. Some tug at the heart strings. Julia Child's are nice, funny, poignant, and tug on my heart strings by reminding me of family, good times and a lot of cooking "moments".

Here is my second Julia Child Quote Magnet

TYPEWRITER NO. 10

It was a marvel back in the early 1900’s. A beautiful machine that any typist would have been thrilled to have at her desk. (Yes I said “her” for most often it was not a man who worked as a typist in the early 1900’s.) She well may have been a shorthand typist, trained in the 10 finger typing that was introduced by Mrs. L. V. Longley who was the head of a school for stenographers in Cincinnati. This was a very respectable job for a woman that did not require extensive education or training. And there was much less chance of being maimed or killed on the job than many of the other jobs open to women.

Many a woman sat down in front of this machine and felt that thrill only a fine machine can give you. And the thrill that their life was changing forever
