It's Complicated

So, I first heard about Croque Monsieur from the movie "It's Complicated" back in 2009. Synopsis: When attending their son's college graduation, a couple reignite the spark in their relationship...but the complicated fact is they're divorced and he's remarried. (Total chick flick)

Not only is the movie flippin hilarious but the main character played by Meryl Streep is an amazing cook and baker and owns her own bakery (my dream career), so needless to say how could I not love this movie.  During a scene when Meryl's character, Jane is on a 'first date' with Steve Martin's character, Adam she prepares a Croque Monsieur.

A delicious french ham and cheese sandwich- it looked so amazing on screen I swear I could smell it as my mouth watered...and ever since I saw that sandwich I was pretty much on a hunt for it! I finally came across it in Eugene, OR at a restaurant named Ratatouille. I was the happiest girl when that french take on ham and cheese hit the table, and let me tell you it was YUMMY! =) The cool thing about Ratatouille is it is a french eatery combined with a Thai eatery... (curry chicken is one of my most favorite dinners ever) so it was basically my ultimate restaurant!
