My brother and I went into SF to see the two of them signing books at Sur La Table a few years ago. They were just as adorable in person. Jacques kept ushering awed middle-aged women behind Julia for photo ops, and was altogether charming (as should be the man who brought us the HoJo's fried clam strips). It is one of my favorite memories ...

My favorite recipe in there is the paté one. I now make it every christmas. I use Jacques recipe for it - but it was Julia's words that inspired me. "It's really just a fancy meatloaf."
After reading that? I knew I could do it :) And every year I get mad compliments on it.
