Move over Barney! Step aside Tickle Me Elmo! Emmett has a new hero…Julia Child.

After taking me to see Julie and Julia, I told Tony I wanted a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking for Christmas. Instead of the book, he bought me a six-part Julia Child DVD series called How to Cook. Each show is an hour long and covers a specific topic…poultry, soups, fish, salads & breads, dessert. Emmett discovered them, and now he is hooked!

“I want to watch the cooking lady again.” He begs. “I want to watch her flip the chicken upside-down… then she will chop the head off a fish! But first, she sniffs it (sniff sniff)…it’s fresh! Mommy are you fresh?”

For his birthday, Emmett says he wants a food mill…and a giant strainer…and a cleaver.
