She didn't actually make much from the books, but I enjoyed reading them as a teen and learned how to make Boeuf Bourgninon (not sure I speeded it right)in high school. I admired Julia for doing so many ground breaking things and not when she was super young, either.<br />Americans are very naive about how things are in other countries. Glad that you set us straight about South Africa. My nephew has been there and says that it is very beautiful!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649255681065021385.post-5436082989316899812009-11-10T15:00:10.046+02:002009-11-10T15:00:10.046+02:00I'm so happy you are enjoying this book!

I also often wonder what Americans must think about us South Africans - I think their perception is somewhat skewed (to put it mildly).Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412734634457510531noreply@blogger.com
