My sister used to live in McKinney, and whenever we visited her, we'd go here. Absolutely delicious.

French onion soup...I continue to tweak this recipe, so this time made the onions to beef stock ratio 1:1...so 4 cups each. Caramelized the onions in olive oil for about 15 minutes or so, then added 3 cloves of garlic, splash of dry sherry, S&P, and the the stock. Brought it to a good simmer for about 10 minutes:

Used a baguette we had to make croutons that were baked in the oven after being costed with some olive oil, then topped the soup with those and some Gruyere:

Under the broiler for a few minutes, and some parsley on top:

So simple, but so good...have left overs for lunch too!

Hmm, almost time for chili, but not quite cold enough. Might have to go with a salad tonight to keep room for Thursday.

Ordered in a Chinese meal that should have been delivered an hour ago, just gave them a call and no reply 🙁

Does beans on toast and a glass of red work well 🤔

Last night was chicken enchiladas again...

With some beer...

We spent most of the day making beef stock, which takes a good amount of time. Had to split it up into two batches:

Roast bones for an hour...

Cover them in tomato paste...

Add the mirepoix on top...

Roast for another 30 minutes...

Transfer to pot with bay leaves, peppercorns, garlic, red wine, and water...

Bring to boil and simmer for about 4.5 hours...

Remove the bones - we put these out the back for the animals...

Strain the veggies out...

Then it has to cool, so this time of year we put it out in the garage, which was about 9 C last night. We started prep at 8 am, started roasting the bones at 8:30, turned the stock off by 4:30, and it was almost 11 pm before it was cool enough to put in the fridge...

Removed the fat this morning...

This was what went into the freezer...

Should last us a couple of months. This is good enough you could heat up a mug and just drink it...

Stumbled upon a documentary on Dean Martin a while back. It was an interesting view of his life, and where he took a stand when some others in his circle didn't - garnered new respect for the man.

Anyway, the film talked about his love of Pasta Fagioli, so that stuck in my mind, and last night we made some...

Such a simple dish with not that many ingredients, but man is it good...
