“Bon Appetit!” to Julia Child (1912-2004).
From WIST:
I … go to MacDonald’s and Burger King on occasion. What else are you going to do when you’re on the road and you have to dash in for some food? They are pretty good; they’re clean, and you know what you’re getting. I don’t know why anyone would think I always dine on hummingbird tongues or something.

I think we need a blender full of something this evening in her honor.
Here’s one…
Julia Child Margarita
From In Julia’s Kitchen
2 oz Fresh lime juice
2 oz White tequila
2 oz Triple sec or Cointreau
8 Ice cubes
2 Saucers (for dipping glasses into)
4 Coupes (shallow wide-mouthed wine glasses) about 3/4-cup Capacity
An electric blender
Preliminaries: To make the traditional ring of salt around the rims of the glasses, pour a little tequila into one of the saucers, and the salt into the other. Turn the glasses upside down, one by one, dip the rim first into the tequila, shaking off excess liquid, then into the salt; and set the glass upright.
Making the cocktail: Measure the fresh lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur into the container of the blender, pour in ice, and puree, pulsing the machine on and off for a few seconds. If you want a uniform frozen effect, puree until you hear no ice crackling; otherwise leave in a few bits of ice – a matter of taste. Serve at once, pouring into the middle of each glass so as not to disturb the ring of salt.
Hear-hear!
