Every once in a while my dear husband tucks in a video I may like and now that is Julia Child: The French Chef, disc 3. I remember why I loved her on TV and in her books, and I have many of them, all in storage. Now I have a library card and am eyeing The Way To Cook just to get the recipe in my book for scrapple (I believe it is Uncle Hans City Scrapple). I moved here with none of my cookbooks, which are literary material for me as well as ideas for recipes.
Omelets are next, I skipped the cakes as I don’t bake. Then we’ll send the disc back to Netflix and Julia will be gone. I’d love to think that several chefs are with me on my culinary journey: Julia Child; Simone “Simca” Beck; and James Beard. As to chefs that live today it would be Eric Ripert and Rick Bayless for their tireless efforts to improve their craft. What they do is excellent but they still want to be better and if I was that gifted I’d be flying right now.
My husband endures my culinary passions because he loves dinner, the fact that I actually cook him breakfast and dinner, and that he gets to talk about tech stuff too. He loves Alton Brown because it’s science, so he thinks a robot can cook his dinner. He is learning more about food and cooking, and no robots are involved. Cheers! Dee
Cooking with Dee 
Can we have an omlette dinner party? It looked so hip! At 3 omlettes per cook (wife) per minute and 5 cooks (wives of you husband’s peers from work) Julia explained you can feed 300 in only 20 minutes with minimal planning. That’s almost everyone at corporate. It is very Mad Men.
I’ll send out an email inviting everyone over. Please have my martini ready. Be careful with all that sterno not to light your poofy 50s dress on fire.
No, Dear. Orange dresses don’t look good on me and I can’t see a page boy haircut or a French twist. How about you go to a certain company and get me a fondue pot and we’ll include that in a seventies’ style party?
Now I hear their contract is done with STRZ so they’ll have mainly TV content. They’ve made so many mistakes over the past couple of years it might be worth dumping it but we’re moving, so that’ll be next week or the following week when I get feet on the ground. Dee
