I think of Julia Child every time I drop a piece of food on the kitchen floor and pick it back up again 😂 (not for guests! just my children! but still)
I savored this piece and all things French, minus their frequent characteristic disdain. Can’t wait to make crepes. Ham and gruyere is my favorite. Thank you for sharing that Jackie clip. Her accent... I’ll be thinking of a Grey Gardens rewatch now.
Thank you so much, Kathy -- I froze a bunch of crepes and am thinking about another ham and Gruyère for lunch today! Another reader wrote how much Jackie and Little Edie sound alike, such a distinct accent, I think I’ll watch Grey Gardens again, too!
This was fun Jolene. Since I lacked awareness of anything but my crib in the Kennedy era, all of this was by later research. I think Julia Child (and Paul) led an amazing life of continuous learning and adventure. Nowadays I think the closest spiritual successor is Jacque Pepin. Always love your photos and kitchen adventures.
I loved watching the video again. I was in the same state of awe as I was when I first watched this in high school. She was so young and so gracious, an amazing woman. Your crepes look delish...I. hope I can find my crepe pan! I want to make them. Cheers, Jolene!❤️
Love all this, Jolene! I love the line from Julia on flipping an omelette I believe “with the courage of your conviction!” :) I loved her show as a child. I didn’t know she wasn’t French until I was much older. She transported me. Thank you for all this. C’est magnifique! A bientot!
What a fun issue! You know, when I first saw the word "concatenation", I automatically thought about my programming husband Tom, and coding in general.
Thanks for sharing the recipe with these yummy photos! It all made me realize that's well past lunchtime here, and I'm truly starving 🤤
P.S. I've just finished binge-watching the last season of "Julia" a few days ago, and I still can't get over how well her charismatic character was portrayed!
Lovely writing. And JC's French Chef was wonderful: such an unmistakeable voice. I'm pretty sure the pancake recipe I always used to follow from Delia Smith including a good ratio of water to the milk, no doubt learned from Julia!

Ha! Fine for the children 🤣
Love this, Sarah! 😂
What a great story - thank you Jolene!

Love this pairing of Julia and Jackie and those videos that transport me.
And did you know that we both start our posts this week with quotes from New York Times obits on someone who’d passed at age 91?
Running 🏃♀️ to your post now, Melanie! ❤️
Delectable.
😋
so amazing! and the Gourmet cover 💗
Thank you, Danyel! I love the old Gourmet covers so much!
Okay, I think this crepe recipe is at my skill level....
Hahahahaha! (I’ll get you a new blender for your birthday 🥳)
"Remember, you are alone in the kitchen and no one can see you" is a true chef's-kiss of a quote. 🥰
Hi, Maddie! I agree! xx

Thanks so much, Mark, and I completely agree about Jacques Pepin, hope you’re well!
True skill in the kitchen can be reduced to the ability to roast a chicken ALA Jacques Pépin :)
Fascinating, and so timely - I've been on a tear watching Julia's videos lately!
They are addicting! ❤️

They were good, Pam! Let me know if you make them. Still blows me away how young she was! Hope you’re well! ❤️

Thank you, Amy! Love the “courage of your conviction” line 😂
Of course, Jolene! 😂💫
Crepes and chardonnay - life is good!
And a Friday afternoon! Life is definitely good!
Julia and Jackie=dream team!
Agreed!

Hi, Stygi, Happy New Year! I definitely had to look up the word 😂 Hope you had a good lunch!
Devastated there won’t be a Season 3!:(
same! 😢 can't process this decision...
☹️
What??? How did I miss this news 😕 I hope it gets picked up somewhere else. Bummer!!

Thank you so much, Matt — Julia’s imprint is everywhere! :)
