Her opening flourishes are inimitable and priceless.
0:14 Julia auditioning for Misery before Stephen King even finished writing it. 🔪📖
Julia was such a joy! We’re very lucky to watch her create beautiful dishes today.
Silly me. After running a fish market in New Bedford for 15 years, I clicked on this actually expecting a monkfish recipe. The halibut is as close as this episode got to that.
I love watching Julia cooking. Thank you for posting her video.
Years ago, she invited herself to join our table in the bar at The Mansion (Dallas, TX). Imagine our delight. 😅
Nice sardine
I love this lady!
Perfect length – love it! ⏱️
"I'm already to make… fiisssh today!"
Love it. Hey., I've cooked after having a few myself!
Apparently, J.C's hairdresser was on vacation during the recording of this episode.. her hair looks a mess!
PBS (KQED & WBUR) Please reformat in HiDef. Plenty of ways to do so electronically😊
She always seemed drunk upon taping
That's about 15 cents of ice she wasted.
I COULD Eat that. 👍. Friday was fish day in my family. If my mom had to work, my father would get up on Saturday morning and go to the fish market get fresh whole fish and he would bring it back and clean it himself and mom would fry it. I love cod, salmon, tuna, and cat fish. But I'll eat other fish. I've never had sword or fish cooked like this. I've had tuna steaks. After watching this, I'm game to try this.😊😊.✌🕯💕🤗🌻🦋🙂👋👣. Neita.🙏
She was pretty tight when she filmed this one, she can hardly talk. 😄
Sword fish swords are quite cool
And none of the food was eaten.
Seeing her with that 🗡️ and big knife 🔪 had me laughing. Only Julia could of pulled that off.😊 I always loved her sense of humor. That's a big fish. I once caught a baby shark.we cooked it
It was delicious 😋
I'm game to try this. I saw your comment sis. Yes i remember Fridays being fish day too, unless mom had to work. Then Dad would go on Saturday to get fresh fish. And he cleaned them and mama would cook them. Yum.😊 Vee.🙂👋👣
One of my favorite episodes ❤
As usual, drunk as piss by the end of the show.
THERE IS NO MONKFISH in this episode. Swordish and Halibut.
I love watching her cook and explain things, but some of her dishes – like this one- sound gross.
