We find that as well as we think we know how to do something, it never hurts to brush up on the technique. Recently, Michelle read Julia Child’s advice and instructions on how to make the perfect omelette.
I’ve never found reason to complain about Michelle’s omelette making. Had she asked me, I likely would have assured her that even Julia Child couldn’t teach her to make a better one.
Luckily, she didn’t ask, because I would have been wrong!
Of all the valuable techniques she learned, one has proven so useful in our homestead that we’ve come to call it the “Julia grip.”
