My obsession, however, truly began in 2009...when I saw It's Complicated. I'm glad "Thou shalt not covet the belongings of Meryl Streep's movie character" is not a commandment because I would still be saying penance. Hopefully, you've seen this movie and know what I'm talking about! In the moments between the times I was laughing uncontrollably, most of my thoughts while I watched this movie were along the lines of
-"I want her house!"
-"I want her garden!"
-"I want her bakery!"
-"I want (John Krasinski's character) to be my future son-in-law!"
-"I want her purple suede boots!"
The food scenes were drool-worthy. In one scene, when she took a baking pan out of the oven I think I may have actually said out loud, "What is that!?" And when Alec Baldwin's character answered the question for me and said, "Is that croque monsieur?" I mentally made a note that I just had to make croque monsieur for myself. After I bought a pair of purple suede boots, of course. I'm still waiting for my future son-in-law to come and sweep my daughter off her feet.
She's going to hate me for writing that.
As luck would have it, Ina Garten's Croque Monsieur popped up when I googled this recipe for the first time. I've made a few adaptations--I use significantly less cheese, and instead of bread I decided a French sandwich calls for a croissant, oui?
