Home-made French dip sandwiches for dinner last night.

Incredible...

Last week marks one year since Mrs. Aristus went into lockdown due to COVID-19. Her profession, dental hygienist, puts her at the strange confluence of being a vital worker, and having the highest risk of infection due to being exposed to people's mouths, noses, and oral mucosa all day.

So she was laid off on full unemployment. Hasn't left the house in a year.

She has taken up baking and cooking to fill her time, and usually prepares a hot dinner for me and our grandson every night. Yesterday, she tried French dip sandwiches for the first time.

Did you know that proper preparation of the beef takes pretty much half a day? It's simmered in its own juices in a Dutch oven with onions and savory spices. Then thinly sliced or shredded (Mrs. A opted for shredding), served on a roll and with au jus.

Delicious!
