Th...I have to tell you that I met Julia Child once. This was about ten years ago: I was an undergrad at Smith, and she was back for an alumnae event. I was rushing to class, and I saw her sitting on a bench outside a building. I was so stunned to see her that I stopped and stared. She looked at me hard, then said (in that voice!!): "Well, hello" (kind of like, "why are you staring rudely at me, stupid girl?" and I replied, and we had a brief conversation before I rushed off to class. She was lovely!! I also recall that a friend of mine came to lunch that day and said, "You will NOT BELIEVE who sat in on my French class this morning!"<br /><br />She was an amazing woman! <br /><br />IMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16176212428296126091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053152.post-73213136456371770282009-04-17T15:05:00.000-04:002009-04-17T15:05:00.000-04:00OMG, I positively ADORE My Life in a France.

I read every last book by her about the Tudors and then started in on everything else she'd written. I'm not sure what my problem was, but it was fun. Lol. I'm quite the speed-reader as well, so I am with you on the "finish a book in a day" thing. <br />I wish I knew a good spray-on tan place near me. My legs are so white, they could glow in the dark!

It's really good. I will have to check out "The Lady Elizabeth."<br /><br />I have yet to read "The Other Boleyn Girl," but I've read "The Queen's Fool" and really liked it. I especially liked that one due to the religious implications of the main character being Jewish and knowing how to hide her Jewishness amongst both Catholics and Protestants. I love all things Tudor, as well.<br /><br />I'm a fast reader, but from what you have written are in another realm/higher plane in reading than I. "The Big Sleep" sounds intriguing; I'll have to check that out at my local library.Rebecca Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262004084187699127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053152.post-38778973695058220332009-04-17T09:39:00.000-04:002009-04-17T09:39:00.000-04:00Actually, the European way of food shopping is to ...Actually, the European way of food shopping is to have to walk to market, have a fridge the size of a freezer and a freezer the size of a bread basket, and thus need to shop every other day or starve to death. Not quite the same. But eating locally (as a locavore), is a very good thing (in season, and not so much in Berlin).G in Berlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168975470282994167noreply@blogger.com
