French onion soup, our favorite. I happened to have all the right ingredients yesterday. Like caramelized Walla Walla onions in the freezer and leftover homemade bread (thanks Mary!) for the croutons. And I splurged at Costco this week on a hunk of real Swiss Gruyere cheese.
The soup base is just doctored up canned beef broth: red wine, bay leaves and thyme. Needless to say, it was the highlight of the day. And since it made four bowls, lunch might be today's highlight.
Amanda sent this picture of Maya last night. They are drying some apricots from the backyard tree. Life goes on and everyone is OK, although the Valley is smoky and hot. But we still hope to visit the house again in the next week or so.
