Description
Do you go into the kitchen prepared to wow your guests with your culinary skills only to burn the life out of your meals? Do you enjoy your wine with your food preparations...a little too much?
Then you need to start praying really hard to Saint Julia.. the Patron Saint of Gourmet Cooking!
She will help you with your cooking disasters!...
You will receive one prayer candle with your purchase. The prayer candle has inspirational quotes and text in the back by the famed starlet. You will also get a recipe card for her famous Brioche. yay!

There are a few stores that carry it. I've been trying to find it myself. I contacted www.qassa.com and they are out, but they plan to get some from the maker Whisk in Astoria.

I've heard that if you burn one next to water it becomes a burgundy or a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir--Oh the Saints be praised!! If the Vatican got wind of this it would be a Barolo--ok by me. Or a Brunello de Moltincino, or Whatever!! Julia would approve.

From a different perspective, one particularly jocular Bible-college professor I had would say "Next week, if you would like to bring me your burnt offerings you will appease my wrath." What he meant was, "Next week, let's have a covered-dish supper for the class." LOL!

Reminds me of the joke about the wife who worshiped her husband by putting a burnt offering before him for dinner every evening. (There is a much more clever way of delivering this joke, but I've never been mistaken as a good joke teller.)

Next thing you know, masses of people will be making a pilgrimage to see one of these because it began bleeding, or something. LOL!
(Combined religious-icon and Julia Child joke - especially enhanced for those who remember the SNL skit about her.)
