ONIONS
say oui, oui, oui
all the way home
Sherry is a magical ingredient. I’m not a fan of the aperitif, but you’ll always find sherry in my cupboard. All of it smells like fingernail polish remover to me, so I’ve just give in and started buying the salt-fortified cooking version. Why is it magical, you ask? Sherry is what makes french onion soup taste like french onion soup. Trust me on this one. It smells horrible when I de-glaze the pan while caramelizing onions, but the flavor afterward is, well, magical. This next Call is meant to magical as well. Great theme…
