Getting to Know Julia Child

Ever since I saw Julie and Julia, I have become obsessed with Julia Child (from a distance) - after all, who am I to even familiarize myself with her.  It took my having the flu to have the time to sit down and read.  I started reading Mastering the Art of French Cooking: Volume 1. and to my dismay, the recipes are doable.  Many pages have already been dogeared, with the promise that when my strength comes back I will attempt many of the recipes.  In addition to already having made the cabbage soup, my next try will be the infamous Boeuf Bourgignon.
