Farewell to a legend

One of the real problems in getting older is that you don't really figure out who these new stars are (I don't know that I could pick Ashton Kutchner out of a police lineup, and I don't even think I'm spelling his name right), so you have no replacements as the ones you knew grow old and die.

I never saw Julia Child on television, to my memory, and I've never read a cookbook of hers, but her name is, for me, synonymous with cooking; ask me to name a television chef, or indeed a chef at all, and hers would be the first name I'd come up with. And, reading the New York Times obituary for her, I admire her earthiness: Whenever she was asked what her guilty pleasures were, she responded, "I don't have any guilt."

Farewell, Julia.
