I'll often say "My guess is..." so what? I like to say it so I don't come off as a Mr. Know-it-all. I don't need any pointers on my writing style from the likes of you, missy.
 
I call you retarded because you think that just because someone is famous in America, they're well known in France. You also seem to believe that I think that someone that's famous in France is going to be well known everywhere and in America. That's retarded thinking.
 
The truth is that I did know that Josephine Baker was famous in France. I was guessing that Julia Child was not well-known in France. Why should she be? Her TV shows were probably not shown in France - I doubt that the French would take too kindly with an American tell them how to cook their own food. As it turns out, it was a good guess.

I'm guessing there's a big difference between how you come across and
how you think you come across.

I'm guessing that this also applies to you and everybody else on the newsgroup. So what else is new? Nuttin'.

Well, that Mr. Know-it-all comment was a bit of a surprise.

I would have thought Ozzies, known for direct talking, would simply use
the term "blacks". That's what most people say here in the UK.

I'm trying not to offend the majority of Americans here. That's always
my first priority.
 
Australian blacks speak of blackfellas and whitefellas.

My guess is that most of these TV chefs aren't that great cooks. Mostly,
they're wonderful television personalities. Ms. Child is important because
she introduced a generation of American boomers to French style cooking. She
did have her predecessors. I suppose Fanny Cradock would be the most well
known in the UK. I can't say if Ms. Child is known in the UK or the rest of
the world.

I only heard of Julia Child here. I vaguely remember Fanny Craddock but
that is eons a go. We have a lot of male chefs but my favourite has always
been Delia Smith. Not that I have seen her for ... well eons either but I
do have some of her books:)

My OCD Chinese friend is totally racist - although it don't mean that he's
out there looking for black folks to chase after or choke. Actually, Chinese
people are afraid of black folks. He told me a joke recently. It's an old
joke told by Mohammed Ali:
 
A black guy, a Mexican guy, and a Puerto Rican guy, were in a car together.
Who's driving?

You corrected me once when I said "coloured person" and I needed my
memory refreshed today because it doesn't exactly speak for itself why
"coloured person" is wrong, but "person of color" is ok.

I'm not so sure that the average French person in the 70s or these
days knows who Julia Child is.

Back some 20 years ago, the Iron Chef programs just stunned me. I couldn't what my eyes were seeing. They were doing things I've never seen before. I think they messed up my brain.
 
I was at the supermarket today and got a call from my daughter asking me to make some cashew chicken. That surprised me because the previous times I made the dish, it was not that good. My son told me, when we were driving home, that I make it pretty good. Ha ha that was news to me. Anyway, I made it tonight and pretty much nailed it. It tasted exactly as I wanted it to turn out. So that was a good thing that happened today. It was packed for my wife's dinner at work with some garlic shrimp, kim chee, and pickled radish.

Of course they did - they still remember her. Julia Child taught the French people how to cook French food correctly. She pretty much revived/saved France's Culinary history/tradition from obscurity. She's a national hero in France.

So a nexus of having a urge for sweets and wanting to crack open (at least
once!) one of the many second-hand cookbooks I've accumulated but not really
explored over the past few years led me to:
 
Salted Peanut Chews
 
from _Pillsbury Best Cookies Cookbook_ (1997)
 
Especially satisfying to a salt, sugar, and peanut junkie like me.
 
Recipe on-line here:

as well as in these photos:

Peanuts were whole. The smaller bits in the photo are the rice cereal.

Certainly most of the food I cook is plain, because my husband
has a somewhat touchy stomach. When he's feeling good, though,
it's curry, Korean, spicy Italian, etc.

Plus, there's the time factor. Five days a week I come home
from work and don't want to fuss a lot. Two days a week I work
around the house and yard and don't want to fuss a lot.
 
We're thinking about potstickers in the near future.

Granddaughter is staying with me as she starts a new job next week and
is looking for her own place.
 
The likes to cook so we made Chicken Parm tonight. She did the
seasoning, breading. salad. I fried them but she did the sauce and cheese.
 
With a red sauce and strong cheese I had a nice bottle of red wine.
Forget who recommended it, may have been Gary. Worked well
complimenting flavors.

Post a rant? a post about how I am not impressed by us human beings and using the silly epithet "Uzi For My Birthday"? ROFL!

No, it was NOT actionable! It was not 'polite' but kinda poetic nonetheless.
