Thank goodness it’s Friday. For the first time in weeks, I am getting back on my regular schedule and working from home today. I’ll have to work at the museum the next two Fridays, but then I should be back to my regular schedule of working from home one day a week. At least today, I can get the rest I need after being so busy these last two weeks and can work at my own pace. Besides, I also have some comp time that I’ll take today.
This evening, I’ll unwind by having dinner with a friend. We are going to a restaurant that was damaged during the floods but is now up and running again. Not only do we want to support the restaurant, we’ve also both been craving some fried pickles as an appetizer. I’ll probably also get a French Dip sandwich for dinner. I’m also looking forward to one of their chocolate martinis or one of their other alcoholic beverages.

As I speak French, what is a French dip sandwich?
JiEL, a French dip sandwich is a hot sandwich consisting of thinly sliced roast beef on a "French roll" or baguette. It is usually served plain but a popular variation is to top with Swiss or a similar The sandwich is an American invention, with the name seeming to refer to the style of bread, rather than any French origin.
Also, the sandwich comes with au jus made from the meat cooking, that you then dip the sandwich it.
Thanks,
It seems like what we call in French a «croque monsieur». But we don't dip it in some sauce.
Have a well-deserved rest and a great weekend.
The student reviews are pouring in. The consensus is that they want more of that professor with a Southern drawl.
Be well!!
The pic reminds me of something I just saw on Facebook. Working from home tip: blowing on your mug of wine will make others at the online meeting think that your tea is hot.
A " French dip sandwich " does not exist in France https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich . Often ham and butter . Large sandwiches are made from a "baguette" .
