One wonders why these recipes fall out of favor. They are so delicious and really do stand the test of time. Your salad sounds just wonderful! I love Arugula! And Lemon vinaigrette also! Yum!! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-7545004295970350582021-11-01T17:33:20.785+00:002021-11-01T17:33:20.785+00:00I really enjoyed reading about Julia and everythin...I really enjoyed reading about Julia and everything she meant to you. How lovely to have such a friend just as you were branching out on your own!<br /><br />I've not made French Onion Soup in years. It was very popular as a dinner party staple back in the day, but fell out of favour. Sometimes these old recipes are worth reviving and today was that day. This was a lovely, warm, delicious and filling meal for us. The onions were beautifully caramelised from the slow cook and all of the flavours worked together so well. I made an Arugula Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette to go with it. Really tasty!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-62686157229313279932009-11-24T21:11:14.003+00:002009-11-24T21:11:14.003+00:00This is one of my fave's too.

I too liked to cook in the 70's and there was a distinct lack of interesting ingredients especially if you were in Scotland! That pre-grated parmesan was foul and I don't think you could get mozarella at all - well maybe at an Italian specialist shop, but i wouldn't have been able to afford it. We did have an excellent Chinese Supermarket though and bought some exciting things there.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854564777269577428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-26303410269204326242009-11-24T20:52:50.688+00:002009-11-24T20:52:50.688+00:00Ohhhhhhhhh.. yummy!!! the French Onion soups sou...Ohhhhhhhhh.. yummy!!! the French Onion soups sounds devine!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817566692333650469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-4061060039239061272009-11-24T19:54:17.961+00:002009-11-24T19:54:17.961+00:00I LOVE THIS SOUP MARIE!! and think yours look spec...I LOVE THIS SOUP MARIE!! and think yours look specially fantasctic, I want a bite of this soup righ now!!!! je, huggs amy dear, xxxxxx <br /><br />Absolutely beautiful pics!!!Gloria Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055543111865966546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-7597467593058830172009-11-24T19:52:27.319+00:002009-11-24T19:52:27.319+00:00Oh I am going to make this for myself.

Hope that your wind & rain doesn't blow him away. I may actually be bringing Graham to the London Zoo on Saturday.

Even wet! A lot of my ancestors came from Kent, and I've often wanted to visit there...troll around the graveyards, small towns where they lived, etc...But I digress! The soup! Ah, the soup...my husband will love you even more now! This is his favorite, and yours sounds simply perfect! Can't wait to try this--no canned soup or cheese for me, please! <br /><br />Hope you're having a wonderful day, and that it will dry up just a bit for you!Hearts Turnedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391141234861745875noreply@blogger.com
