In the year that I was born, Julia Child wrote an essay for Architectural Digest about her home in Cambridge, Masachusets. In it she called her kitchen, "the beating heart and social center of the household, both practical and beautiful, a working laboratory."
Well, I'm sorry but I'm not gonna burst your bubbles and tell you when that was, else you'll find out how old I am. Ha ha...
My kitchen wasn't as complete and functional in all the sense, as that of my gourmand idol, Julia Child and it has become old and dingy with modern appliances and kitchen "thingamajigs" sitting somewhere in its corners.
