quote o’ the day: Julia Child

Always remember: If you’re alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who’s going to know?

Quite so.

    ?? Is this some kind of Coded Message to Cruella de Blair & her Young Man, as to how they should handle the Arrest of Miss Ruth Turner yesterday morning (Freitag) at 6:30am (Britisch time)

    Your Grace’s obedient servant etc

  2. Julia’s pretty funny. Unfortunately, I’ve worked with people who’ve done pretty much that – pick stuff up off the floor and serve it. The customer never knows, but I knew and was appalled.

  3. Julia did exactly that, live on television. She had a beautifully poached salmon on a platter, turned with it to put it on the table, and splat it slipped onto the floor and broke into several pieces. She looked at the camera and said, “Oh, I’m SO glad that happened. Now I can show you what to do about it…” and she got out the mayo and the cucumber slices and she made salmon mayonnaise.

    Ruth Turner got arrested? Boy did I pick a bad day to skip Guido!

  4. Oh boy. Last night I was carrying a 21 inch round Black Forest Cake. I was thinking, What if it slipped….you’re damn skippy I would have picked it back up and fed it to the whole lot of ’em – that thing costs fifty eight dollars, not including tax!

  5. Fifty-eight dollars? Is Padma jumping out of it after the main course or sumpin’? Kee-rap, even the most expensive bakery in town charges nothing near that. Most expensive I ever saw was $75 for a vacherin with candied violets all over the top, 2 1/2 feet in diameter.
