Sometimes simple is best

I have a list of article bookmarked that I want to blog about, but they're largely political. These days, mostly because the GOP is made of lies, thinking about politics makes that vein in my temple throb to bursting, so I'm not going to do that now.

Instead, you should watch this, learn from it, and go practice it until you're really good:

In a weird synchronicity, I saw that video a few weeks ago, tried it once or twice, then WILL showed several of her shows last weekend, including that one.

I could watch her all day long. Frankly, I'd much rather see ancient (even black and white!) reruns of her shows than brand new episodes of Ming Tsai talking about himself and plugging his restaurant on Simply Ming.

Plus, unlike Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott, John Boehner, Roy Blunt, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Dennis Hastert, Dick Armey, Tom Delay, John Ashcroft, Jeb Bush, or Karl Rove, she served her nation in a time of crisis. </snark>

ITA. There's more of "The French Chef" posted on PBSVideo. I watched the Tarte Tatin episode during my lunch hour yesterday. I love it when things don't turn out exactly as planned (the tarte didn't come out of the pan correctly) and Julia just keeps right on going. I look at all of that butter and creme fraiche and just drool.

"Jacques and Julia Cooking at Home" is on create @ 7:30 PM Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Like, Julia Child, Roy Underhill from the Woodwright's Shop does everything in one take.. and often it's not perfect. :-)

One time Roy cut himself pretty bad on camera and just kept going. Another time he broke the support on a log cabin wall by first announcing that he could get it to fit really tight.
