I learned almost everything about cooking from Julia Child

Dinner tonight was super tasty:

• Cast iron pan corn bread
• Mashed potatoes with speck
• Sauteed mushrooms with thyme and coriander
• Shrimp in Three Onion Sauce a la Julia Child (made by panfrying the shallots/onion/green onions with butter and garlic, adding shrimp (8-12 count) to pan, cooking until both sides look good, splash in a bunch of vermouth and cover to steam the middle of the shrimp, then uncover, and finish sauce with butter and cream).

Rule #1 of cooking: adding vermouth, cream and butter makes anything taste delicious.
