My thoughtful sis-in-law sent this!

While I am as far from a chef as anyone can be, I enjoyed the film "Julie & Julia", and I visited Julia Child's kitchen at The National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. in 2016.

Obviously, Julia Child, world-renowned chef and TV personality, loved cats! 
Image from the interwebs; I'm not this good of a photographer either!
 She also provided the image below; turkeys in her yard!

Turkeys can be rather aggressive, plus they leave 'leavings' behind!
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin proposed the turkey for our national bird?
Thank you, LK!

It's a delightful book; I recommend it!

  4. I love Julia Childs and had no idea she had cats, now I love her even more! Imagine having turkeys in your backyard, amazing!

  5. Sounds like a great read! And I do know that about Mr. Franklin. He considered the bald eagles' habit of feeding on carrion unseemly. :) They're still majestic, and the practice cleans up their environment, after all.

  8. That is a great book. My Penny likes to help us cook so I always tell her she was Julia Child''s cat in another life- she looks like her cat Minette.

  9. The first Tom before me used to watch the housekeeper cook all the time. Me, not so much. And, yes, I knew about the turkey and Mr. Franklin. Good thing nobody listened! - Tom x

  10. I bet it was Miss Julia's kitty who was the original chef of her household and taught her everything she learned about cooking. Tee hee hee.

    I'll have to let my auntie know about the museum, 'cause I totally think she'd like to visit it.
