Great post.
Thank you for recognizing Julia here.
"Save the liver!" was my entire family's punchline for a long, long time. I wonder if Dan Aykroyd is sad today.
Al Franken was talking about that skit on his show today; seems he and his then-partner Tom Davis wrote the bit.
Fantastic post. I was going to write something about her passing, but you did it so well that I'm suggesting that people come read your tribute instead.
flea, no one can write a tribute as you can. remember me at my funeral?
I remembered the Ackroyd skit and the turkey incident when I heard; I'd read one time that she got a tape of Ackroyd doing that bit because she loved it and laughed with the rest of us. Classy lady.
Hey, I learned this at my job where we do kid's history books. Did you know our Julia was a SPY in WWII?

I think that's pretty damn cool.
Yes, she was a spy, more or less, but she denies ever dropping the chicken/turkey. A mere potato pancake, too enthusiastically flipped, she said.
Tomorrow night I'm cooking gigot a la moutarde and gratin dauphinoise, and some other people at TPW are cooking Julia tributes too. At the very least, raise a glass of wine and toast her.
Oh! A lovely tribute, Flea. I'm so glad you're back.
At times like these one is forcibly reminded that Smithies have a hell of a lot to live up to.
Flea, I thinkk you'll enjoy this tribute. http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/
Don't know if you followed this blog, but the woman who wrote it (it's beasically defunct now) cooked all of the recipies (524) in Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in a single year. Helluva blog and a lovely tribute.
