Happy birthday, Julia Child!

"Life itself is the proper binge."

Words of Wisdom from Julia Child

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

-"It’s terribly important to keep a good temper."

-"Fat gives things flavor."

-"I think every woman should have a blowtorch."

-"I always give my bird a generous butter massage before I put it in the oven. Why? Because I think the chicken likes it -- and, more important, I like to give it."

"Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it."

-“...nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should.” 
-“Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!” 

Julia Child, a woman with a big heart, a big personality, and big shoes.

Intensely dedicated, utterly fearless, smart as a whip, quick witted, and a firm believer in eating, loving, and living well... she is the perfect role model for women everywhere. 

Happy birthday, dearest Julia.
