Julia's 100th

Today is Julia Child's 100th birthday - and I still haven't decided what to cook to honor it. I'm leaning toward something simple, like a green salad with this cheese souffle, but the day is young. I may change my mind.

In the meantime, here are some Julia's birthday links:

• Chowhound put together a slideshow of Child's recipes to help people celebrate.
• Forbes drew from Child's experience as she got older, offering practical advice for people as they age.
• On HuffPo, Marlo Thomas wrote a nice tribute - and embedded some of Dan Akroyd's classic SNL sketches (that my dad used to imitate - I have earlier memories of his Julia impression than I do of Julia herself).
• The Kitchn asks how you're celebrating and links to some posts with recommendations.
• Mother Nature Network has links to even more ways to celebrate.
