Julia Child's kitchen at the Smithsonian Museum

I recently watched "Julie and Julia". Boy, was I glad that we wereable to see her kitchen at the Smithsonian Museum of American History when we were in Washington DC. I also watch repeats of Julia Child's cooking show over WXXI's HD channel 433 called "Baking with Julia". She had Martha Stewart last time. Julia Child is fun to watch. David would tell me stories about her and the way she delivered she lines. After watching "Julie and Julia" David rummaged through his garage if he still has Julia Child's cookbook. Sadly, he must have donated it to Vietnam Vets.
