do like she taught, like she did →
Julia Child’s birthday sent my mind back to Paris, reignited my wanderlust, renewed my dedication to doing food like the French (and elsewhere, including here) do food:

If you don’t know about Martha Payne, aka: “The unsquashable school meal crusader, aged nine,” read up. She is a schoolgirl we can learn from (read: need to learn from).
