Is There a Connection Between Julia Child's Politics and Her Kitchen?
It was Nora Ephron’s film Julie & Julia (2009) that really introduced me to Julia Child and her tome of French cuisine Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Ephron depicts Child as a dominating but charming figure, who is firmly set in her opinions but also curious and open to learning new things. The reason she even attended Le Cordon Bleu while living in Paris with her husband Paul was so she could relish in her love of French food and teach Americans to do the same. And even though Simone Beck, one of the co-authors of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, points out in the film that a degree really isn’t required to teach cooking classes, Julia is adamant about doing things “properly.”

Prince Edward the unsung Royal without scandal
Prince Charles and Princess Diana had a troubled marriage that ended in divorce and later her untimely death. Prince Andrew made headlines with soft porn star Koo Stark and now is involved with the Jeffrey Epstein debacle. Prince William is in the spotlight as the man who would be king and Prince Harry is causing a stir because of his wife and their move to America. One Royal, however, is showing himself to be doing things in a different manner and all the while keeping a low profile. Prince Edward the Earl of Wessex and his wife Sofie Rhys Jones met in 1994 and the couple married on June 19, 1999.

TMZ, is reporting that the couple's new neighbors in Santa Barbara are complaining that their “privacy is being compromised” because of the paparazzi who are always hovering.

Commentary: The Birthday Party is an American Tragedy
When Kayne West stated that he was going to run for President in 2020 in a cryptic tweet, I thought that it was just another publicity stunt. Still, I diligently analysed every word, combing through for any hint about his policy platform. ‘[T]rusting God’? Perhaps he’s running on a religious fundamentalist platform. ‘[U]nifying our vision’? Proposing an end to the bi-partisan system, perhaps. ‘[B]uilding our future’? The usual buzzwords around education, or is Ye considering trying to cause a tech industry boom? Or perhaps it’s an allusion to environmentalism, aiming to plant more trees.
