Julia Child's Kitchen at the Smithsonian

I know I said you could dispense with reading anything else about Julia Child once you read two recent stories in the LA Times and the Trib. However, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., has just opened its Julia Child's Kitchen exhibit and has put up a helpful Web site with plenty of photos, details, background information, etc. It includes a detailed project diary that catalogs all the steps the Smithsonian workers took to document, pack and recreate the kitchen in their museum space. Good thing I'm not a world-famous chef; I would hate to have every centimeter of my kitchen put under the microscope. It was embarrassing enough when the oven-repair guy opened up the oven to reveal how long it has been since I cleaned under the dang thing.
