Is Paula Dean now carrying on that mission?

This is old news. VERY old news.
I loved Julia. I thought it was so great that she was this fabulous, iconic chef and yet, from time to time, she liked nothing better than a McDonald's Happy Meal! (Although she declared "In and Out Burgers" to be the best fast-food restaurants.)
And who could forget "I just cut the dickens out of my finger!"

Posted: 8/14/08 at 2:12pmGood for her! I can't quite picture it--let's face it, she wasn't going to be able to sneak up on anyone--but good for her!

Nice-now she is even sexier in my mind.
She was the first person I ever touched myself to!
