Microfiction Monday # 23 Bon Appetit!


Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints 140 characters.
Susan over at Stonyriver hosts Microfiction Monday

Here is this weeks picture and my story to go with it. Bon Appetit !



No you can't carry my preserves young man,
I won the Cooking with Julia contest a few years back
and I'm here to collect.
Rachel who?

The rules are simple,to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation.
Then hop on over to Susan's and leave your name. She even has a brilliant character counter to help us count.
As Susan promises, it's fast, it's fiction, it's fun!

    Now this was funny Peggy, I remember back a long time ago when Saturday Night Live did a Julia Skit, I still chuckle when I think of it.

    She does have that deer in the headlights look, huh? And having canned myself, you really DON'T want anyone touching those jars for a while. They might leave fingerprints. ;)

    Fun as always. Set mine up to post itself, so it should do so later tonight.

    i'm obviously culturally impaired. everybody seems to know (or pretend to) who rachel and julia are and i have no idea (i know, consult google)
    even so, this is funny :)

    I'm sorry, I only had 140, and I took out the last names.
    Julia Child, famous chef with her own cooking show from the past.( a movie recently called Julia and Julie was about her)
    and Rachel Ray, a famous chef on TV today , has her own show.
    Sorry Juliana!!!
