French Onion Soup Story

Me: "I'm planning the menu for the week. Do you like French Onion Soup?"

Graham: "No."

(Long pause.....me thinking "I've never made it for him before, I wonder....")

Me: "Have you ever had French Onion Soup?"

Graham: "Nope."

Me: "Oh, I see. Well it is actually really good. It has a rich beef broth filled with onions that are sauteed until sweet and caramelized. You top it with a thick slice of french bread and a layer of melted gruyere cheese--yummy!"

Graham: "Okay, that sounds good."

This little conversation we had makes me giggle and I had to share it. To his credit, the title French Onion Soup does not sound very appetizing or thrilling.

Tonight we shall dine on soup!
