The hilarious mental picture of your naked self slathering a glaze on that Polish duck under a red protective brolly on some brutalist Moscow apartment balcony made my day, possibly my week. Carry on, Julia.
Good morning, and thank you for making it a great morning, Julia! I just forwarded your marvelous article to a bunch of friends who will enjoy the brilliant telling of the tale as much as they will treasure your recipe. Please submit this to the NYT! The world deserves to read this!
Unless I die in Singapore, in which case can my last meal and scattering of ashes please take place at the Chinatown Complex food centre on the second floor?
Julia - Thanks for this post! What is it about Peking duck that leads to comedy? Years ago, I made it and hung the duck from a pipe in my basement... only to come downstairs and find my cat wildly jumping up and down hoping to snag it! (He was not successful). A fabulous dish!

So good to have your support! It keeps me going when often I think, Enough, already.

What a heartwarming response! Thank you. Far too reticent to submit it to anyone...Anyway, not sure how to or who to.
Fellow fans of Julia, do you know the food editor at the NYT? Please send whoever it is a copy of this article with Julia's contact information.
My vote for last meal has always been a buffet, and if that's against the rules I want a selection of canapés.
Oh. Pure genius. Colindale Asian Food Hall?

Please don't.
I don't mean on this trip, I mean in general! I spend so much time there these days the odds are reasonable...
LOL!

Even cats are fans!
Wowzie! What an adventure, naked with a red umbrella on balcony would have been enough! Love it, Julia!
Life is the best entertainment.
