I was a fan of Julia Child’s until I saw an interview she did with one of the big TV News Anchors on one of their magazine programs. It was done in her kitchen at home, and she was preparing a meal for the man. She had to keep pushing her numerous cats off of the counter top to get to the food that she had prepped. Don’t get me wrong. We have a dog (Beagle), 2 guinea pigs and a turtle in the house. We have 1 cat, but feed 3 outside. Could not handle the cats on the counter tops. Disgusting.
