A couple of weeks ago, my teenaged Daughter came back from lunch at a nearby French bistro (run by a celebrity chef) raving about its French Onion soup. Spurred on my her enthusiasm, my trusty Julia Child cookbook, and an impending atmospheric river, this is my version (covered with day old baguette slices and gruyere). She liked it well enough to have another mug. However the broth to onion ratio was out of balance so she asked me which liquids I used so she could add some more. I replied that it was beef broth, dry vermouth and a little bit of cognac. She paused for a moment then said “Let’s add the cognac first”.

Today’s lunch was a tuna stuffed avocado. I scooped the flesh out of the avocado and puréed it then I added a little flaked tuna, red pepper, a green Thai chili, finely diced red pepper and lime juice. I mixed everything together and placed it in the avocado shell. It was very tasty.

Today was a busy day – I dyed and cut Sunshine’s hair. She is all pretty for Christmas.
I did have to do a quick lunch, though. Using some of the bread I made up yesterday, I did a quick Grilled Cheese and Tomato soup (combo) for the ladies. Neighbor #2 likes milk in her tomato soup (can) so it is a little pink in color. I put it in a thermos so she could enjoy it throughout the afternoon. Sunshine likes her tomato soup with water and had that with her grilled cheese.

Yesterday at HEB I came upon a pack of three long beef ribs (for $6!). I roasted them and used them in stock. Today I got the meat off of them and sautéed them with a bunch of sliced onions and some seasoning salt. I put them on Martin’s burger buns, draped Swiss cheese over them, and microwaved them just enough to melt the cheese to hold them together. So thus was invented (new to me, anyway) the cheeserib.

That sound really good, and much better than the yogurt with fruit I had planned…
The extreme pleasure of leftovers.
I don’t like to reheat my roast turkey; I eat it cold before eating the extremely carb-heavy bowl of mash, gravy and veg. Oh, and a big scoop of my SIL’s fresh cranberry relish.
