David had French Onion soup every night on the cruise (as it was a splurge, and takes more time than I am willing to do). But then this recipe was in Southern Living’s Magazine. So I thought I would give it a try. Please click on the link for their recipe instructions. 
Sliced onions, with unsalted butter, parsley, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper.
Baguette sliced, and toasted in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes.
Onions, cooked…to nothing…3 hours later…I am not sure I did this correctly…but the smells in the kitchen were amazing. 
Flour added, then Sherry, and beef broth.
First layer of casserole.
First layer with cheese added.
Second layer with cheese.
Baked, covered…then uncovered and broiled to brown. 
Doesn’t look ANYTHING like theirs, but the flavor was amazing. David loved it, as did Stephen. It will be a long while before I make this again, and it will be in Fall or Winter due to the time in the kitchen–but I will make it again.
Blessings.
It was a quick marinade, tangy and not too spicy. I really enjoyed it. If you like Kimchi, you can find powder mixes at your local Oriental market. Mix it with some rice wine vinegar and your favorite vegetable—Kimchi!
Whip together an egg, and some water (not much) to create an egg wash. Dip the avocado slices in the wash to coat, then in the Panko mixture. Press down slightly.
Place on a baking sheet – spray first – and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees or until crispy.
I must confess, I didn’t like these at first. Maybe because I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after a bit, I really did enjoy them. I will make them again, and adjust the amount of ground flax seed, and longer baking time as I like things crunchier.
Thinly sliced, and removed the majority of the fat from the loin. 
Sautéed bamboo shoots, then added the veges.
Crazy wind (surfers were loving the waves) and hair, but I love our beach.
He hates the beach, and I love it. We compromise by going to dinner at the beach and not touching the sand! Ha! (We took this picture on the Boardwalk–not on the sand.)
