a certain SportsJournalists.com poster is deeply saddened.

 

Will Sam Rockwell play her in the movie?

 

"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook."
"Never use water unless you have to! I'm going to use vermouth!"

— Julia Child

 

Been hearing this for years in culinary circles. Given the job her husband had, not a big surprise. And being the hostess with the mostest is definitely spy-grade stuff.

Edit: And actually, she was a civilian employee of the OSS, which has been known for years. Much ado about nothing.

 

Do not ruin my visions of Julia as Bond, kleeda!

 

Hey, I bet Julia could get better secrets with her cooking than Mata Hari could get with, well, you know.

Julia Child should always remain the example against which all other popular chefs are measured.

 

when it comes to an extra splash of Worcestershire sauce, never say never again.

 

Julia Child a secret agent.

Chuck Barris a double-secret CIA spy?

Who's next?

 

No damn wonder she would always tell you to use .007 pounds of salt in everything she made.

 

And I always thought I was so special when she said "This recipe is for your eyes only."

 

When she meant a secret ingredient, she meant it, baby.
