I'm not sure of the original source for this, but it's a take off on Julia Child, who I loved! She was so funny and entertaining. And she didn't launch into the crazy cooking world with her TV show and books until fifty...good for her! Do not try this at home boys and girls. It's just a little inebriated chef humor. Gotta have fun, or what's the point?
