my pleasure. It was by accident that I stumbled across her kitchen in the Museum of American History on Friday - had no more room in my suitcase for any more shopping so went to the museum instead. Arrived back into Frankfurt this morning.... :)

WoW Ed!......I can't count how many times I've watched Julie & Julia.......and seeing her kitchen would be such a buzz!
Did you see any blocks of butter left there, just like the movie? LOL.
I believe the first ever kitchen aid mixer is at the Smithsonian......now that's a museum I would be interested to go to......not to mention Carrie Bradshaw's apartment is there too  ;D

Love her kitchen, I could see a TM fitting on that bench very nicely.
Wow Lee and Ed life is far from boring in your neck of the woods.

Ed's back - yippee! Amongst a myriad of gifts, I did receive many Julia Child cooking DVDs. It is truly delightful to watch these classic pieces of television.  Of course she was trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris so she really knows how to cook.  She was also a big fan of Magimix and Kitchen Aid as time saving devices.

So many of her quite challenging recipes could so easily be converted for Thermomix.  A project I would dearly love to do when I have more time again.  Making sauces in particular with Thermomix would be so simple, instead of the labour intensive way she does them.

Even though I have not made a traditional brown sauce or risotto the old fashioned way since Thermie arrived, I do find enormous pleasure in creating a dish with a knife and several pots of the the stove at once...

His next conference is Chicago and it falls within my school holidays so I can't wait to be a doctors wife and attend next time.
