What Julia Child learned (in 2000, that is)

Julia ChildJulia Child was not only one of my favorite chefs, but she was one of my favorite people. She just seemed like she'd be a kick to hang out with and talk to, and that fact that she knew how to cook was a bonus.

Esquire has a regular feature in their magazine, "What I've Learned," and Julia Child gave her answers in 2000 (she passed away in 2004). She gives several bits of wisdom, not just about food but about life in general. Some of my favorites.

"Fat gives things flavor."

On driving: "Actually, I find I'm not quite as alert as I used to be, and it would be awful to kill somebody."

"Always remember. If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know?"
