Julie Joins Julia

By Sniffles

Hey, did anyone get fetanyl-laced Halloween candy last night? We've seen zero reports in the news of the thing that Fox "News" and other right-wing purveyors of disinformation swore was absolutely going to happen. Just another lie, then.

Speaking of food, there was a surprising (and sad) obit making the rounds today. Julie Powell, the writer who blogged her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking 20 years ago, died last week at the young age of 49. The cause was cardiac arrest, and we have to admit it: The first thought that popped into our furry heads was: All that butter!

Julia Child was a fervent believer in the stuff. "With enough butter, anything is good," she said. We agree — except maybe not on tuna.

So forgive us, Julie Powell, for our cattiness. We're sorry to see you go so soon, but you (and Julia) left behind a lot of joy. We cats PURR.
