Urban Gardens


My neighbor behind me is an amazing urban gardener. He has a huge backyard that is filled with the most wonderful bounty of fruits and vegetables. And please note, I am definitely talking city lot here. When we returned home last week I found a bag full of gorgeous onions that Frank had left for us. I spent a pleasant half hour this morning trimming and clean them. Now I am off to look for a recipe for a rich and thick French onion soup.

Somehow I think you might soon be receiving some authentic french recipes.

I sure hope so Jer. I'm sort of hoping Corey will see that and offer something up. Hint, hint, Corey. :-)

Onion Soup
saute onions in butter lots of it, now don't be tempted to eat this straight from the pan...
when the onions have cried their stiffness out, and a pan of boiling water sits nearby with a darling wilted bouquet of herbs inside, and rinds of parmesons
Slip in the onions,
pour in white wine
add some vermouth too!
Blend with lotsa cream..I am coming over!!
