French Dip Sandwiches with Au Jus
Despite the name, a French Dip sandwich is not French. It is a California creation, and two restaurants claim to be its inventor. I have eaten a famed French Dip at one of the two, Philippe's in Los Angeles. It was fantastic, although I didn't get to do any of the"dipping" because the buns are...
Croque Monsieur

Cranberry-Apple Relish
When I was in high school, I worked in the deli at our local grocery store. Around the holidays, I would have to make a cranberry relish that was a marvelous combination of tart cranberries with the sweetness of the apples. I loved it, and would have it for lunch quite often during shifts. I...
