Menu for this Week and Grocery List

The Menu this week will have some cold weather fare, seeing as the temperature is dropping here in Memphis, and some of my personal favorites. If you are not familiar with Croque Madames, they are very popular French sandwiches. They are basically an upscale, toasted ham and cheese sandwich with a lightly fried egg on top. It is what we would call an Egg McMuffin. The bread you select for them should be fairly hearty, and the more bite it has (as opposed to being gummy, white bread) the better.
