Onions, cabbage, hard bread…staple of the serfs during the middle ages. However, when a cabbage about to go bad is turned into braised cabbage with onion, apple, and honey, it’s not a bad dish. And when excess onions become French onion soup topped with baguette slices and a layer of Gruyère, it’s hard to complain. Then, when you add a Vienna beef hot dog slathered in gourmet mustard to the mix, you might almost think you were royalty.

The blower made quick work of the 3 to 4 inches of snow deposited last night. Tonight, clear and cold.
