First off, she hated Republicans, especially her father. Lucky for her, her father set up a trust that fed her and her husband, as his salary was paltry. It allowed her the freedom to go the cooking school while Paul was stationed in France. She preferred to step-mother to her own mother, who had, of course, married her father.
The worst was a story about her colleague Simone, whose husband's family owned an estate in France. Simone offered Julia and Paul the opportunity to build a house on the grounds, which naturally would have gone back to the estate after the deaths of Julia and Paul. Julia vacationed there and when Simone was dying, she asked Julia to tend her garden. Julia was furious that she had limited time for her vacation and was being asked to do her dying friend a favor.
She was not a very nice person.
Bible in a Year:
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
Within twenty-four hours of his mother Sharondas tragic death, Chris found himself uttering these powerful, grace-filled words: Love is stronger than hate. His mother, along with eight others, had been killed at a Wednesday night Bible study in Charleston, South Carolina. What was it that had so shaped this teenagers life that these words could flow from his lips and his heart? Chris is a believer in Jesus whose mother had loved everybody with all her heart.
In Luke 23:2649 we get a front row seat to an execution scene that included two criminals and the innocent Jesus (v. 32). All three were crucified (v. 33). Amid the gasps and sighs and the likely groans from those hanging on the crosses, the following words of Jesus could be heard: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing (v. 34). The hate-filled initiative of the religious leaders had resulted in the crucifixion of the very One who championed love. Though in agony, Jesus love continued to triumph.
How have you or someone you love been the target of hate, ill-will, bitterness, or ugliness? May your pain prompt your prayers, and may the example of Jesus and people like Chris encourage you by the power of the Spirit to choose love over hate.
When have you found it hard to love someone? Is there someone you find it hard to forgive now? What steps might you take?
Father, forgive me when I find it hard to forgive others. Help me to demonstrate that love is stronger than hate.
Well, since my favorite thing to make for dinner is RESERVATIONS, I never gleaned much from her show. LOL.
Welcome to the Canteen, Pigsley...glad you enjoyed reading about Julia Child, and sharing your remembrance.
Thank you Kathy! I never knew that aspect of this remarkable lady.
I found this.......
Her father, John McWilliams Jr., was a Princeton graduate and early investor in California real estate. His wife, Julia Carolyn Weston, was a paper-company heiress whose father served as lieutenant governor of Massachusetts.
Hitting the sack early.

A good plug for a good tavern. May you have a sunny week ahead.
