    Julia was gracious and totally crush-worthy

    I had the extreme pleasure to meet Julia Child in 1990, when I was working at an NPR radio station in Washington, DC. She came to the station for an interview with talkshow host Diane Rehm, who is also rather crush worthy, for her contributions and all she has been through...

    But anyway, Julia was incredibly gracious, funny, and talked with everyone as if they were her best friend. The station seemed a little dull and forlorn after she left.

    I read her autobio recently and I could almost hear that voice reading it to me. If you haven't already, pick it up.
