Lurching Toward Culinary Talent: (French) Onion Soup


I don't have a list of ingredients like I usually do since the boy and I worked from the recipe in Joy of Cooking for French Onion Soup.

The only real variation I made is that I added red pepper flakes and marjoram to complement the thyme called for in the recipe.

Wait, I guess I did go off the reservation in one way though. Instead of using two tablespoons of cognac that the recipe asks for, I went the cheap route as is my fashion. Christian Brothers brandy did the job just fine, and I got to "buy 'Merican" instead of using some overrated French brandy.
