Julia Child - Flipping a Potato

[@marywatkins6798]

Julia was fearless, and admitted when she made mistakes. "Remember, you are alone in the kitchen. Who is going to know?” LOL

[@burpostockings]

I keep my kitchen clean enough to make microchips in. Something falls on the counter, or lord forbid, the floor, it goes back in the pan. Never had a complaint or anyone get sick

[@gregdubya1993]

@@burpostockings I'll do counter and stove unless I've been cooking a lot and the stove is messy. I can't do floor. Even if I've just finished steam cleaning the tile. It goes into the "chicken bucket", our namesake bucket for scraps to go out to the chickens.

[@Jarfully]

Definitely She taught everyone, just because it wasn't perfect doesn't mean it was a failure. You can always fix it.

[@ariaflame-au]

The food version of bob ross, no mistakes just happy little accidents

[@AtlasBlizzard]

I love that they recreated this scene in "Julie & Julia".

[@GabyGibson]

That's why I love her. She always admitted that she goofed up

[@DJBSharpMusic]

Humility and honesty was definitely what got her propelled into super stardom

[@GabyGibson]

[@tootssuite23]

As well as quickly offering encouragement to find workable solutions! 👍

"You can always pick it up, & if you're alone in the kitchen, who is going to see?" True for the floor too, if you can beat your dog to it!

Ha ha I wanted to say that. You beat me to it 😂!!

[@mishalum5133]

Me too lol

[@baekdutiger631]

Yeah me too as of this moment while watching her movie Julie Julia!!

[@sookie4195]

My first Thanksgiving dinner I made for several friends, when I pulled the Turkey out of the oven, it slide right out on the floor. I was alone and picked it right up and went on and served it. Best Turkey ever!

[@skinnysnorlax1876]

Hell yeah, haha. That was a power move

[@arynrowland862]

Watching her has made me a better cook for my family. She taught me to never be intimidated by food, and to take chances in the kitchen. I audibly gasped when she spilt potato on her stove, but that’s what makes her great, she takes chances and didn’t fear the flip. She is a treasure.

[@MW-rq5uc]

Be brave... have courage of your convictions. She is so wonderful....encouraging people to not be afraid to fail, just look at it as an opportunity to learn.

Julia child: "that could have been brown" Me seeing the video black and white

[@OreoChickz2013]

This is charming. I was watching her videos she made towards the end of her life and she was flipping like a pro

[@Mikkelstorgaard]

That was because she was a pro.

[@carriee.9712]

History in the making. Absolutely beautiful.

[@lee-annebarrett366]

Love it, she is natural, not perfect and not pretentious.

[@loonflam8910]

She reminds me of my grandma! My grandma was a great cook, and she even talked about courage the same way! So darling!

[@linak7155]

Julia Childs. This woman was a riot. Make it up as you go. I love it! Lol!

[@lynneanderson4255]

This is hysterical! I loved Julia!

[@User-dq3pb]

She was a hoot that provided us with her skills and humor. And her buddy JP is still cooking everyday. What an era of unpretentious greatness!

[@user-uf2ji8lg1d]

She was amazing

[@alexakagi2546]

Gawd I love Julia.

[@julienewfeld356]

Who remembers Dan Ackoroyd's Julia on SNL...hysterical!!! She was the best. Catch Julia on HBO Max...great!

[@savannamillen7276]

Just have to adore this woman.

[@taco6822]

This is so wise on so many levels

[@vane12685]

Omg I love her! For all of you saying you are here because of the movie...read the book by Julia My Life In France. It is amazing.

[@shlomitcnaan7123]

I adored the bit in the book where her sister describes her minor road accident in her very special French.

[@bransrubar]

It is a great book. I need to read it again one day

[@-HighTide]

My next door neighbor has that autographed book, I'm happy to have seen it and read it, but I admit to jealousy.

[@margaretirish705]

I did not know of that book.. thank you!

[@flatulas]

the only way you learn how to flip things is just to flip them!

That's what my Judo sensei always said. ;-)

"who is going to see?" 2019: everybody in your twitch/instagram/youtube stream

They used to show black and white episodes of "The French Chef" on the Food Network many years ago, before reality shows took over.

Shame that happened.

[@Nono-hk3is]

Hell yeah Julia

[@krazi77]

I'm trying to find the video where she's making some kind of dough, and says "you gotta beat it down." then she pulls out a rolling pin that's about 3 foot long and has about a 6 inch diameter and gives it a good whack. when I heard all the stuff in the drawers rattle the same time all the other stuff on her work table jumped, I laughed my butt off.

[@johnbattles9469]

She is lucky. Mine ended up on the floor. The dogs thought it was perfectly prepared.

[@Nixanator]

"If you're alone in the kitchen, who is going to see?" I mean unless you have a camera crew with you, like you do at that moment.

[@jimmaybee6323]

ah, the courage of my convictions :) still love her and you can always pick it up if you are alone in the kitchen .... whose going to see? :)

[@billfeldman2127]

Every time I flip an omelet or anything else I fortify myself by remembering her admonition to have "the courage of your convictions." (And every time I empty the cavity of a chicken before roasting it, I remember to "save the liver.")

[@priceandpride]

🤣🤣😂😂 girl, how many glasses in are you?

Meryl streep must have watched this video herself

[@thebiz2678]

G C I’m sure she watched a million times 😂

She watched many hours of "The French Chef," plus -- as I recall -- a lot of Paul Child's home movies, etc.

[@zacharybrown2413]

Dang Meryl Streep really nailed it. No surprise there though

[@ajc8815]

She's one of the best chefs of all times. Even beats Gordon Ramsey.

[@margaretirish705]

"Even"...??!

[@rookere1604]

I just watched 2 clips of her for the first time and they have been some of the most hilariously disastrous cooking I have ever seen, "lets just pretend this was a baked potato" as she flips some dog food looking slop that's meant fried browned potato all over the stove lmfao

[@rookere1604]

well that was the most disastrous attempt at making a cooking show I think i've ever seen "lets just pretend this was supposed to be a baked potato" lmfao

[@rosenieman5581]

She's wearing pearls in the kitchen

[@KaiLucasZachary]

as many women did

[@allmc2008]

I want her to be my best friend.

[@citizenofcorona8783]

She was 6'2"

[@-HighTide]

I swear at 0:51 she said the f-word! Makes me love her even more. Yep, "I'll fuckin' shake that back in place a little bit.", and then looks at the camera and hopes nobody noticed. You can tell she's pissed off at herself. Awkward moments happen. She was a long cool woman in a black dress... credit- The Hollies (not CCR)

[@huunterr]

Hate to break your heart, but she says “if I can shake that back in place a little bit.”

[@margaretirish705]

I listened to that 3 times- I don't hear her say that at all!?

[@showmethem5ney]

How did people watch this without color?

[@MrsEJV]

7 Buddha I had to respond because I’m 73 and had this conversation with my six year old granddaughter yesterday. We had the first TV in our neighborhood that had six or seven shows a week, the big one being Ed Sullivan on Sunday night. The screen was about 12 - 14” with a magnifying panel in front of it. Everyone was there on Sunday! My first memory of color TV was seeing a baseball game in color many years later. So no computers, cell phones, microwaves, clothes dryers, car a/c, (or seatbelts). If you’ve never seen it or had it, you don’t miss it. What you DO have, like Ed Sullivan, is a big deal. I really feel life was better pre cellphone. Sure, I carry one in my purse for an emergency but can go a month without using it. I will admit to loving my iPad, but miss being connected on a personal level. I’d far rather talk than text.

[@bransrubar]

easily. Color is not required for quality

[@sarahvetoe8134]

Sweet summer child. Nothing was available on TV in colour back then. It was way too expensive and a brand new medium reserved for films. I’m not even that old and I can remember having a black and white TV in my bedroom, it was quite a privilege.

[@showmethem5ney]

@@MrsEJV wow.. Great story.. I agree technology has taken alot of personal interaction away from society..

[@showmethem5ney]

@@sarahvetoe8134 Hm.. I mean I can see how that makes sense.. I just can't seem to imagine how I could watch a cooking show without color😂😂.. (I follow "Tasty" religiously btw.. That might be why)

[@reallAK]

Julia was a good person but she blatantly lied about being a cook and had people cooking stuff for her. She didn't even make the recipes, she used a real cook to make the recipes up. Julia was the epitome of fake it until you make it
