I'm still trying to rebuild my stamina after my surgery. It seems the older I get, the more time it takes to get back into my regular routine. It's so much dun hitting the golden years! All I've wanted to eat is eggs and soup. So this week I'm making French onion soup again. We still do not have propane for the stove. I'll be roasting my stash of beef bones in the air fryer this morning. I'll not be caramelizing my onion though. I'll just be adding them to the pot with the beef bones. It should prove an interesting endeavor though. I can't use my mandolin to slice my onions thin this time. The movement in using it is a no-no. I'll be putting the pot on the wood stove for the majority of the cooking time too. I just can't stand and do all the fru-fru activities I usually do while making it as I usually do. But I'll season it like I usually do in the beginning and let it go all day. I usually simmer my beef bones for a minimum of two days, but not this time. I want to eat it tonight. .I do have a block of mozzarella cheese I made last week to slice on top and some mushrooms that have to be used to make it yummy. This will be a down and dirty version of my French onion soup that's for sure, but hopefully it will still be good. I'll have to let you know.
Y'all have a blessed day!

ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole!
DeleteFrench onion soup sounds soooo good! Especially with mushrooms. Glad to hear you're on the mend and starting to feel a little better.
ReplyDeleteLeigh, it seems the older I get the longer it takes to spring back. :o(
DeleteOooh French Onion Soup! Used to be one of my faves until my silly stomach decided I can't eat onions anymore! I even have those bowls in your photo! I hope your healing continues to be quick Jo! :)
ReplyDeleteOh rain! So sorry about your stomach. I made a set (8) of these bowls for my French Onion soup and a bean pot to complete the set years ago.
