Julia Childs came for dinner?

From the looks of my pictures, my blog is turning into a FOOD blog :) During the week, cooking is what we do when we get home from work, so that's what I write about... and everybody likes to eat, right?!
  We had some superb French Onion soup at a little French restaurant while we were in Berlin. We decided to give it a go ourselves because neither Ross nor I had ever made it before. We found Julia Childs French Onion Soup recipe online and that's what we made. We used store bought beef broth and it lacked the richeness and robost color of the one in Germany. Next time we will try to use homemade broth. The lightly toasted french bread and the shredded Gruyere on top more than made up for the broth though! We also had some left over chicken pot pie with the soup because we couldn't possibly have a meal without meat! The pot pie was from Ellie Krieger's cookbook and we especially enjoyed the use of phyllo dough instead of a thick pie crust.
