Julie And Julia Page #8

---

Well, just maps and exhibits and things.

It wasn't...

He did!

He single-handedly won the war for us.

Well, I had to. Someone did.

I mean, it was dragging on, wasn't it?

Anyway, so there we were in China,

just friends having dinner,

and it turned out to be Julia.

It turned out to be Julia all along.

Julia, you are the butter to my bread,

and the breath to my life.

I love you, darling girl.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Dear Charlie,

Julia in front of her stove

has the same fascination for me

as watching a kettle drummer

at the symphony.

The oven door opens and shuts so fast,

you hardly notice the deft thrust of a spoon

as she dips into a casserole,

and up to her mouth for a taste check

like a perfectly-timed double beat

on the drums.

Then with her bare fingers,

she snatches a set of cannelloni

out of the pot of boiling water,

and she cries,

" These damn things

are as hot as a stiff cock. "

- She said what?

- I know.

- Julia Child said, "Hot as a..."

- I know, I'm shocked.

It's from a letter that Paul Child

wrote to his twin brother Charlie in 1949,

when Julia was just starting classes

at Le Cordon Bleu.

So Julia and Paul, beaucoup, beaucoup.

- I know. Just goes to show you.

- What?

You can never tell about

a person's sex life by looking at them.

They were so in love.

Hot sauce from a reader.

And today I had 12 comments from readers,

and I didn't know any of them.

Thanks to all my faithful readers

for this loot.

I have now completed 65 recipes in 47 days.

On track with 103 recipes

in just over two months.

Looks like a cupcake.

Lobster thermidor is coming up,

and I am going to have to murder

and dismember a crustacean.

How will I ever do this?

Last night our sleep machine,

the one we have by our bed

to drown out the noise of freight trucks

rumbling past our apartment,

was speaking to me. And it was saying,

"Lobster killer.

"Lobster killer, lobster killer, lobster killer."

One of my readers said

that if you put lobsters in the freezer,

it sort of numbs them.

Then I got another comment that said,

"Man up, kill the damn lobster.

"Just take a knife and do it."

It's alive!

Eric.

Oh, God.

"A note on dealing with live lobsters.

"If you object to steaming

a live lobster," yes,

"plunge the point of the knife

into the head between the eyes."

Oh, Julia, you make it sound so simple.

Lobster killer.

Eric.

Eric.

Get out of here.

I don't need you at all.

You are completely useless.

I'm just gonna throw them into the water

and put the lid on and that will be that.

Fine.

Fine.

Hello.

Goodbye.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You okay?

Okay.

Okay. All right.

All right, boys.
