Finished product. Used cold pressed olive oil and I think the difference is a more subtle flavor instead of having that pork lard overpower the dish. It's also a bit thinner than mine but that's good. It's halfway between a soup and a stew

Or add less water. I used 4 cups of stock I'm going to go 31/2 next time. Wife loved it though, went back for thirds and took the leftover to work.

Thanks. The background is all my wife's doing. I just did the soup and the gin.

The French onion soup looks amazing as does the reuben on the marble rye. Homestyle cooking is a lost art and it's so much more satisfying than restaurant slop full of seed oil. Thai we had last night was good but the only troubling thing for me was not knowing the exact ingredients they used. The beef salad looked healthy but I suspect they used a cheap oil and it had a sweet bite to it which makes me wonder what they used to sweeten it. Am I paranoid and perhaps going overboard? Yes and no.
