A measure of fame might be when it isn't even necessary to be named.
Today's NY Times magazine food column gives three recipes, with these
attributions:

* Adapted from Julie Powell
* Adapted from 'The NYTimes 60-Minute Gourmet' by Pierre Franey
* Adapted from 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking'

The Times apparently feels they don't need to identify the authors of
the last. -aem

Sigh. Thanks for posting that. There's something sweet and wonderful
about a simple housewife achieving immortality. I always felt a
personal attachment to her: as a barely-parented kid, I saw her more
than my mom. Such a class act.

you and me both!
I spent my days in front of the tv watching sesame street, julia child and

ross.
I loved Julia, I totally wanted to cook like her because she looked like


she

was so happy doing it. Bob Ross was just condescending.

Was Bob Ross the white-haired bearded guy who did a show from what looked
like a loft in Toronto?



he was the curly haired guy who painted happy little trees


my brother has a shirt that says "happy little trees" with a picture of
Bob Ross on it. If it were my size, I'd try to permanently borrow it.

I always wonder when someone brings up a point about Bush, and you
then bring up something that Clinton did, are you saying they are both
wrong? Because that's all it points out to me, places where they both
messed up. It doesn't negate the fact that Bush did wrong; was that
your intention?

That type of argument is like

"Bob shot someone"

"Yeah, but don't you remember when Don hit that guy with a bat?"

I think Bob Ross died an untimely death. I never painted in his
style, but I thought he was a friendly kind of guy. Funny how people
have different opinions. There was another guy around about the same
time, that I watched,too, who was always saying that he was taking
his 'mighty brush' to do this or that. He was a kick.


Bill Alexander who spoke with what sounded like a thick Hungarian
accent. Terrible painter. Saw him once paint a marine scene with a boat
that had a guy on it. Looked kindergarten. Guy was sticks.

But Bob Ross was cool. The only people I knew like him were always
deeply stoned. And seemed to really want me to paint along with him. I'm
ashamed I never did, like I was secretly disappointing him...

No, seriously...
