I mean an actual, physical wrinkle in actual tape.

Do young people know about actual tape?

Do young people watch this show?

Regardless, it means they have to reshoot parts.

At home, Julia continues to work on the cookbook and she wants to do a bread section.

Okay, this is fair, but do not talk down Wonder Bread, maam.

Simca ends the call by asking why Julias show is calledThe French Chefif Julia is not French.

Its French food, Simca!

Isabella Rossellini plays Simca; I would be delighted to see her except that she is so frequentlygrumpy.

I want one call between Simca and Julia in which they just laugh back and forth and hang up.

And to crack bread, so to speak.

Because Julia feels she needs to prove her Frenchness, she decides to make sweetbreads this week.

They are not Hawaiian rolls; they are gross.

Sleep-deprived from having a new baby, Russ says, Sure.

Lets do it.He thinks sweetbreads mean danishes.

Alice is overworked and under-titled but agrees to the entire reshoot.

So off we go to the butcher.

Lets pause momentarily on sweetbreads, since you rarely see them now and for a good reason.

This is usually from a calf or a lamb yknow, baby animals.

But ignoring that, guess what Alice has to deal with at the butcher?

Avis essentially tells Alice she needs to ask louder.

Does she, Avis?

Is that the problem?

Apparently, glands are very high-maintenance.

Lets see how the actual bread is progressing!

Paul and Judith are using science to bake bread in the Childs kitchen.

Im sure these actually taste great.

I had foie gras once before I became a pescatarian.

That is goose liver from a force-fed bird.

But we should ban it forever.

Paul says, This heat wave is a gift from Hestia, because he is a nerd.

This conversation lays the groundwork for Judiths eventual transition to cookbook editor and writer!

Volume II ofMastering the Art of French Cookingrecommends you bake your bread on a piece of asbestos cement.)

They ended up finding a replacement just, do not bake your bread on asbestos!

and Judith and Paul celebrate to The Rain in Spain fromMy Fair Lady.

Her father has died.

Paul suggests that they cancel the taping, but Julia says no people depend on her.

That sums up adult parent-child relationships quite nicely.

After the taping, Hunter offers Julia a second season, but she hasterms.

They need breaks in production (yes!

Hunter says okay, and theyre a go for season two.
