Mmmmm....

I love French Dip. It definitely makes my top 10 favorite meal list. It's a perfect food.

We just returned from our weekly grocery shopping, which has now become a real family affair. My daughter discovered that one grocery store (Food Emporium in Everett) has mini shopping carts (complete with adult eve-level flags that say "Shopper in Training") and so she won't let us go to any other grocery store. Central Market has them also, but its further from our house.

It has been a nice change though - it is more of an upscale grocery store, with lots of organic and natural foods, as well as higher end products throughout the store. Tonight, with empty stomachs, we went shopping (bad idea) for some dinner. The only deli meat they carry is Boar's Head, which is really superb. So, deciding to make French Dip, I shelled out the $11 per pound they were asking for roast beef. Boy was it worth it.

20 minutes in the oven and a pot of Au Jus later, I am quite satisfied.
