It's been so cold and damp this week that i got slightly obsessed with the idea of making onion soup. I've loved it for years, and it's not rocket science, but i'd never tried to make it. So this week i got all the ingredients that weren't already on hand rounded up, decided on a recipe to try (with only minor tinkering) - and then realized i didn't have any oven-safe bowls or crocks to put it in. Crestone to the rescue! I knew i could pop it into the oven without fear, and i love the way the melted cheese on the lip looks just like the drip glaze...
(Oh, and the soup? Not too shabby. I added a little thyme, used sherry in place of the cognac - and sloshed some extra in for good measure, and went for sliced cheeses on top for simplicity's sake.)
