It was supposed to be rainy and under 100 degrees today...
What did we get? More sunshine and 99 degrees!
sigh... Oh well! It is still September.
On the Rainy Day Menu:
A croque-monsieur (or grilled ham and swiss cheese with Dijon mustard) Tomato & Basil Bisque Soup (Safeway select)
Wikipedia says:
A croque-monsieur is a hot ham and cheese grilled sandwich. It originated in France as a fast-food snack served in cafés and bars. More elaborate versions come coated in a Mornay or Bechamel sauce.
The name is based on the verb croquer ("to crunch") and the word monsieur ("mister")—the reason behind the combination of the two words is unclear—and is colloquially shortened to croque. While the origins of the croque-monsieur are unknown, there are many speculations on how it was first created. The croque-monsieur's first recorded appearance on a
Parisian café menu was in 1910.
