why?
because it’s about julia child and cooking.
because it’s about buffy the vampire slayer and one-year-post 9/11 new york city.
because i thought i might gift my mom with a copy, but decided against it when i found that the author uses the word ‘fuck’ almost as often as i do.
because sometimes, when you can’t seem to get word count under your pen, you need to get page count under your eyeballs.

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
the whole story is special to me, having grown up watching her show on television. mrs. child taught me a great many things about cooking (including the fact that mistakes are okay) and her warm, engaging style comes through in the text. i could hear her warbly voice in my head the entire time i was reading.
