I’ve Been Called Julia Child
I think the word “unflappable” was coined just for her
Unflappable
Julia Child was definitely fearless in the kitchen. The word unflappable comes to mind. Here’s a great example of her “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” demeanor:
Some people say I could be Julia Child. Well, except for the facts that she spoke French (I’m not too certain that I’m totally fluent in my native tongue English), she was over 6 feet tall (I’m Munchkin-sized), and (probably the biggest difference of all) she passed away at the age of 91 in 2004. I’m not dead yet.
Aside from those fussy little details, we could be the same person.
Have I made mistakes in the kitchen? Dear God, I could write a book (or at least one immensely long article for Medium, and perhaps I will). But I’ve never flubbed up something so badly that it was beyond salvation.
If I’m the only person who knew Plan A, no one will recognize that what they are eating is Plan…
