I saw an interview with Jaques relating the story of how they were cooking together in the mid 70's and she used one of his knives and cut her finger pretty badly. She was such a trooper that she bandaged the wound and went on to cook with him anyway. ( It became one of the funniest skits on Saturday Night Live when Dan Aykroyd parodied Julia Child, "Oh, it seems I've cut the dickens out of my finger! Save the giblets! I remember I had a dog named Sandy...) He was precious telling about how she didn't want to talk about it, but that's *all* the major morning shows wanted to talk about. It was great stuff :0)

I never knew it was a true story until I saw that interview. :-)
