French Dips, to be continued....

Yesterday was a foodie's delight. There were some amazing blog updates, I found a recipe I wanted to try and had all the ingredients for, but first thing in the morning THIS happened:
I admit, I am a bit of a meat snob. There are so many rules regarding meat I will or will not eat that it is often easier to tell people I am a vegeterian. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found a kindred meat snob soul at work! We quickly bonded over our mutual love of Whole Foods, and she happens to have about one of the cutest babies I have ever seen.

She gave me a recipe for french dip sandwiches you make in the crockpot, one of my favorite tools. Then she went above and beyond and brought me a sample of the recipe she made the night before! Well, needless to say I think it took about two bites for me to polish off the sandwich, then it took everything in me to not bathe in the remaining sauce. The poor fiance didn't get a single bite. I actually had to wash the dish out quickly and drink some wine for fear he would smell it on me, like a wild dog. You see, these type of sandwiches are pretty much one of his very favorite things. That being said, I trust we can keep this fact between us: I have no choice but to purchase the ingredients and surprise him with this meal sometime next week. The recipe will be posted of course.

In the meantime, I have even more recipe and posts in the pipeline. But it is Friday, I have poured my first glass of wine, and I intend to at least finish the rest of this bottle. Until tomorrow then...

Well you know my husband is the pickiest eater on the planet, but he loves French Dip sandwiches. I look forward to this recipe because I love my crockpot!

Imagine my delight when I ran into you at Whole Foods! Not many people think the money spent there is justifiable, so happy to find a kindred spirit to share my Love!

Oh, both my husband and I think your moms idea of never sending a container back empty is pure genius and a great habit to get into!
