It's a melancholy day. Sad to see her gone, but thankful for what she brought to the world.
I suppose the best way to pay tribute to Julia Child is to cook something from Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Or just cook something. Enjoy the cooking. Invite friends and family over. Open a good bottle of wine and share the food and drink in the warm company of people you enjoy.
Savor each moment.
Egullet has put together a tribute to her, too -- and you can visit her kitchen at the Smithsonian or watch some of her programs thanks to PBS.
I saw her kitchen in May...they have done a wonderful job of recreating it.

I hope to see it next time I'm in DC. I love the Smithsonian.
The culinary school at Boston University is planning a tribute to Julia in October... don't know if it's open to the public or not, though...
