I saw Saturday’s post
on
Smitten Kitchen
and it brought back
memories.
Excuse my bit of
nostalgia…
I lived in the
suburbs of St. Louis when I was a kid and
would visit my
Grandmother, Viola, in the city.
I loved it.
It was like an
adventure to a kid,
with the riding of
the bus and excursions here and there.
On many occasion, we
would stop in at Famous-Barr,
a great store in its
heyday, unfortunately long gone now.
Around Christmastime,
they had the most amazing moving displays in all the windows.
After going around
the building, we’d head up to their restaurant.
They were famous for
their French Onion soup. It was
amazing.
I ordered it
every
time we went.
So, as I said, when I
saw the recipe from Smitten Kitchen, it brought back fond memories.
I am going to make
this recipe, and I am sure if it is a keeper, it
will resurrect those
fond memories every time I make it.
