I loved the recent tv series - terrific acting all around- and loved to watch Julia herself back when, I've read her memoir and other books about her too. Such interesting people. I actually lived in Cambridge around the time she was becoming a local celebrity. She lived a few blocks away - in a much nicer part of town!-and though I never saw her, I knew people who did. (I havea few stories if you'd like them) Plus my husband, years later, worked at RandomHouse/Knopf, and used to bring home the best cookbooks ever, real classics, edited by- yes- the fabulous Judith Jones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-64106420675449713152022-05-28T18:12:17.139-04:002022-05-28T18:12:17.139-04:00SO good!

I think it happened when i was making lasagna one day, can this be? And i’m assembling it like crazy and then I got to the part that said something like – – add the bechamel sauce. And I said to my mom – – Bechamel sauce? How am I supposed to have Bechamel sauce? And mom said: did you read the recipe before you started cooking? Lesson learned.
