Julia Child for sure. When I was a toddler I had no interest or Seasame Street or Mr. Rogers - all I wanted to watch was Julia Child (and the guy who did the paintings on PBS with the big hair).

Avocado-Cucumber Soup
I was excited about this recipe but it ended up tasting like watered down avacado (and I upped the spicy parts). I love avacado and all, but this wasn't my thing. Did I miss something?
WiiWare 'Beer Pong' Game, Now Minus the Beer
Thank you jmunchie.
If you've ever seen a Dartmouth frat (or sorority, for that matter) basement, you’d know that it is the most disgusting game ever. But also the best game ever. Besides, doesn’t alcohol disinfect everything?
Dinner Tonight: Spring Minestrone with Brown Basmati Rice
Yum and easy! I only had whole wheat couscous, so used that instead and added some red pepper flakes and finished with green onions. Can't wait to make again.
Baking with Dorie: Lemon-Lemon Lemon Cream
I made this for a birthday dinner on Saturday night. It was fairly easy and delicious. Unfortunately the birthday girl brought her own cupcakes so this is still in my fridge, just waiting for me to get home from work and top it with some fresh berries. I am amazed at how simple it was.

Food blogs were mine, though now that I like cooking I talk with my mom about it more. She didn't teach me as a kid or anything, but learn things now.

I would have to say Alain Saillac and Jacques Pepin although I didn't spend enormous amounts of time with either of them during my time ant FCI, they made their presence felt, and their philosophy, attitude, skills and generosity of spirit will always stick with me.
