One of my favorite parts of living in DC is the vast array of museums and opportunities that are available on any given day. There is always a celebration, an opening, a reunion, a commemoration or a party.
Thanks to my monthly newsletter that I receive from the Museum of American History, I was alerted to the fact that Julia Child's 100th birthday commemoration was approaching and that the museum was hosting a full day of activities--from book signings to a cake cutting--to celebrate.
Due to work, I missed the cake. Such a bummer.
However, I did scurry down the Mall to the Museum as quickly as I could that day to view the renovation and addition to her kitchen. I also settled into the Warner theatre for a few minutes and watched Julia make the perfect fruit tart crust from one of her old cooking show segments.
I love her violet Kitchen Aid Mixer!
Now that's a serious mezzeluna!
A first edition of her famous cook book - almost looks like mine!
This little trip to my local museum motivated me to break out my cookbooks and read through them. Here's hoping I can follow through and make some treats!
