Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

I know it's probably really stupid to ask but is Julia Childs a real person? I watched the Julie/Julia movie (starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep) with my friends a few days ago and was curious if it was like based on a true story or anything. I don't know anything about Julie Childs or whatever if she is real so I'm pretty clueless if these things really did happen...does anyone know? (link)

Yes, she was a real person. She really did work for British Intelligence during World War II and attend the Cordon Bleu when it was almost exclusively male. She wrote dozens of cookbooks and made French cooking accessible to generations of TV watchers. YouTube no doubt has hours of clips of her shows. She's one of the reasons I learned to cook.
