Julia Child was born in Pasadena, California, August 15, 1912.
She would have been 104 years old today.
I looked back at some of my posts about Julia.
I remembered I started my Julia craze after I read
Julie Powell's book (Julie and Julia, 365 Days, 524 Recipes, one Tiny Apartment)
about making each and every one of Julia's recipes
from Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
Then the movie came out (which I loved).
I read more books about Julia and her life including Julia's Cats.
I think there are a few more Julia books in my stacks that I should read.

Amazingly enough, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

48 years after the book was first published.
This article from the NYTimes is one of my favorites:

I remember watching Julia on television.
I wasn't much interested in the cooking.
I just thought she was a hoot!

I couldn't let the day go by without wishing Julia
a very happy birthday.
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
