Julia Child dead at 91

Years before any television chef said "bam," Child was on public television instructing Americans in a warbling voice and a mischievous manner how to prepare everything from omelets to sweetbreads to coq au vin.

repos dans la paix, Julia.

I called R already; he said he also just heard, adn told me that Emeril was planning on baking her a birthday cake, to present her during an appearance on the Today show (if memory serves - we JUST talked.). Apparently, she couldnt make it. R and I agreed that THAT appearance would be a totally different show - more a propos for Conan, perhaps.
