French Dips aren’t French afterall, but damn they are GOOD!!!

in cooking, Families, Still Life

Probably why they are an American thing not a French.  I read that French Dips originated in Los Angeles  .  There are two restaurants  that claim they were the birth place of the first French Dip.  Theory is that they are named French Dip after the style of bread they were originally served on.  Now that would not always be the case.  French Dips can and have been served on a variety of breads, buns and even tortillas and fry bread!  So lets get down to business and I will walk you through how I made my French Dip.  As I’ve said time and time again, it is hard to put down a firm recipe, I’m that person that takes and idea and twists it to fit what I want.  I’ve been pretty successful over time, but don’t try my French (I’m not sure if that is French either) Onion soup. I begin my sandwich with making sure I have wonderful flavored beef to go in it. ...

Tonight we went with Buffalo Chicken On Sourdough.   Again, my husband is not a huge fan of chicken or buffalo sauce,  (Yiphee when he returns we will be blogging about Meat Loaf………)so tonight is my last chance for a few days to get something that’s more of a treat for me.   I’ve decided I’m going to add some avocado and smoked cheese to my sandwich.  I decided to do some research on keeping my avocado from turning brown so I could slice it up ahead of time.  This is what I found out.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/10/keeping-avocados-from-turning-brown_n_1196633.html  I’m going to try the pit and add citrus to it too. Also on the subject of Avocados, I often find it difficult in our smaller community to find ripe ones when I want them.  I bought a bag of them several weeks ago at Costco and had decided I wanted to make gauc later...

I don’t believe it myself………..what’s not to love about the iconic American food…….second next to burgers.  Well, I’m married to that guy.  On  the rare times the hubby is out of town, I DO PIZZA…   It has been a long winter in MN……….but I’m happy to report spring is showing upand yes that comes in the form of a lot of deer poo and yellow grass.  But that showing up is a good sign it, means it is time to  celebrate.  My favorite way to celebrate spring is with a wonderful #Lemondropmartini   Pucker and smile can you say #lemoncillo………. ok so I digress.  This blog is supposed to be about #Pizza.  As I mentioned before, my husband is not a fan…….and I LOVE Pizza…………Since it is  a rare treat in my life  I decided to take a frozen pizza did you say...
