    ... time talking at the shop, I thought I would take a chance and ask you out. The worst that could happen is you would say no, and I am a little embarrassed. I tell her that I was glad she did saying normally I would have said no, but she was right we are having a nice time. I asked her if she was still hungry. Starving she replies, I have eaten since this morning, and wouldn’t know I left my lunch at home. I ask her what she recommends; without taking a breath she said bacon cheeseburger, fries, and French onion soup. We get to know each other as we wait for our diner. I ask Kathy if she makes a habit out of asking customers out for dinner. She turns red and says No! You seemed nice, you have been polite, mostly Mr. no name, (my turn to redden), and you haven’t tried to hitting on me…yet, and we laugh. She changes the subject by describing the burger and how good they are. Before we know it our soup arrives. I sampled the broth, it wasn’t bad at all. Kathy looks me and asks well, what do you think? I tell her I like it, and that French onions soup if a favorite of mine. I tell Kathy that if French onions soup is on the menu I’ll order it. Trying different preparations gives me ideas when I make it at home. Kathy tells me, I love this soup but she can’t figure out what they so differently. I tell I thing know their trick.

I ask her think about how you build the soup and now try to taste the individual flavors one at a time. Now thing of these recipes you have read for onion soup. I put those flavors together in my head and it give me an idea of how it might taste. Our burgers arrive and I mention to the waitress how good the soup is, and I ask her what did they differently, she explains we use the same red ale you are drinking and hurries away. Kathy looks at me and said pretty impressive Hank. Next time I make this soup I am going to use ale…she but how much ale should I use. About a half cup to a cup I say; start out small and add the ale to get to the taste you like. Check out some the cook books in your shop I am sure will find one or two that should give you the proper ratios. She smile and tells me I will try it. We are enjoying our burgers, Kathy asks’ Hank do you like the burger, I tell her it is great cooked perfectly, I say the burger really hits the spot. She smiles at my complement.
