Thurs - March 4th
March brings Women’s History Month and we will be recognizing a special woman each day during our announcements. Today we are recognizing:
Julia Child
At six feet two inches, Julia Child was an uncommonly tall woman. When the Second World War broke out, Julia was determined to join the army and she became a spy. One of her missions was to solve a highly explosive problem. Dotted around the oceans were underwater bombs being set off by sharks swimming too close to them. All of the other agents were stumped, but Julia had an idea. She started cooking! With a mixture of disgusting ingredients, she baked cakes that smelled like dead sharks when released into the water so sharks would no longer get close to them. After the war, she moved to France with her husband and became a world-famous chef. She is credited with bringing French cuisine to the American public through her own cookbooks and tv show, The French Chef. If you want to be a baker or a chef someday, you might start out making shark cakes!
