You don’t spring into good cooking naked. You have to have some training. You have to learn how to eat. - Julia Child

"After we'd moved into 81, we had placed an order for a phone, and waited. First a man came by to see if we lived where we said we did. Then two men visited to make a "study" of our situation. Then another man appeared to find out if we really wanted a phone. The process was very French, and made me laugh, especially when I thought of how quickly such a transaction would have taken place in the States."

...operational proof...it's all theory until you see for yourself whether or not something works.

You are the butter to my bread,and the breath to my life
