A Tribute to Julia Child by Joseph Wahl

Julia’s Child

i remember her voice
marbles and new words
from france

watching her
every move
how she flipped
and folded her omelette

butter and sugar
flour and cream
brie, blue and cheese dreams

crepes and frois gras
pate and baguettes
hollandaise, bechamel and poivre

hot copper pans
stainless steel cups
whisks and measuring spoons

cooking for my family
watching their faces
and smiles
