  1. Eating late as usual. I have a lot of grilled chicken left over. I
    snagged some kind of roll at the bread shop down the street. I am going to
    use some thick slices of chicken and make sandwiches along with a romaine
    salad with the dressing no restaurant in St. Louis would be without, a
    Mayfair type of dressing.

    On the sandwiches I'm going to use caramelized onions (they're cooking now)
    and I'm going to make an avocado mayo to use as a condiment. I'm debating
    on cheese or not. Bibb lettuce is a must. I made another batch of the
    Blueberry Ice Cream that is easy and delicious (thanks for the recipe
    Margaret). I'm all set except for french fries. I may have to use some
    frozen Ore Ida crinkle cut fries seasoned with seasoned salt.

    Never having heard of this before, I had to look it up. Do you make
    it in a blender or what? Looks a little like Caesar.

    Mayfair Salad Dressing (from the Mayfair Hotel) #15830

    1/3 stalk celery, chopped
    1/4 medium onion, chopped
    1 clove garlic, chopped
    4 whole anchovies
    1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground

    2/3 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1 whole egg
    2/3 cup vegetable oil
    4 servings 1 cup

    15 minutes 15 mins prep

    1. Use food processor to make dressing.
    2. Blanche onion and celery very briefly (5-10 seconds) in boiling
    water and drain.
    3. Combine everything except eggs and oil in processor and blend for
    2 or 3 seconds.
    4. Add egg and blend again.
    5. Then, with processor on, slowly dribble in oil to make creamy
    mayonnaise type dressing.
    6. Run processor until dressing is very smooth.
    7. Add sodium-free seasoning and pepper to taste.
    8. This will keep for a week or so if covered tightly and
    refrigerated.
    9. If Parmesan cheese is used in salad, do not add until the salad
    is tossed with dressing.

    I don't have the exact recipe that I use in front of me but this looks very
    similar if not identical to it. I use more garlic and anchovy though. It
    is like a creamy Caesar but totally different at the same time. If that
    makes any sense. I use my Cuisinart to make the dressing. It works well.

    Supper tonight....No clue what it is called. I just thought it up.
    Possibly it is new but most likely somebody else thought of it before.

    I cubed up a fair sized pork steak...1 inch cubes...seasoned with salt
    and pepper then browned them up....(no oil added)
    Added (Food Processor) sliced up: 2 celery stalks with leaves, handfull
    of large button mushrooms, A red Bell pepper and half a onion. Mixed it
    a bit then added: about 1/2 a liter jar of kraut. Mixed again. Poured
    in a good splash of sherry. Then re-seasoned the dish with...Cumin,
    Salt and Pepper. I've Got it Braising in the oven (lid on) at 275F for
    1 hour. Then Stir it up and give it another 20-30 minutes (lid off).

    I'm really giving my henkel braising pan a workout this week. But this
    should make about 4 meals. Hope it tastes good...it sounds good.

  8. Our dinner tonight was cleaning up the leftovers from the afternoon kid
    b'day party with our cool neighbors. We ate tabbouli, zucchini-cheese
    gratin, za'atar (wasn't served at party but it looked good in the
    fridge) pita bread, yogurt/sour cream/cilantro lime dip, oven roasted
    steak fries, tomatoes, red wine, and watermelon. Oh yeah and we nuked a
    few of the hot dogs for the kids but none of us wanted any more. Niman
    nitrate free dogs.

    The party was so much fun...very low key, entertainment was even lower
    key than I'd planned because we couldn't get the ball tent to inflate -
    so it was kiddie pool with tot slide, sand box, half a ball tent (the
    size of a small kiddie pool) trikes, wagons, the deck, a pinata. No
    crafts, singing or party games (all of which I'd considered doing).
    Also it was relatively small, just the hard core inner circle regulars
    and they were all glad to hang out - 13 adults and 9 kids, nobody from
    pre-school. Just perfect. THe weather was sunny but not oppressively
    hot, and by the time the party was in full swing the sun had moved
    behind the big trees on the west side of the lot, so we had much shade.

    I got the steak fries recipe from RFC lo these many years ago and it's
    a total hit. Mix paprika, cumin & salt with olive oil, cut up a bunch
    of russets (I use organic - taste better) with skins on, toss 'em in
    the olive oil mix, spread in a single layer on cookie sheets and bake
    at 425 for at least 20 minutes. Turn them at ten minutes. Yum.

  9. Last night we did a cooperative dinner with the neighbors, including
    grilled sweet corn. I had two ears left over, so I invented a "John
    Barleycorn Must Die" salad for tonight's dinner. Cut the corn off the
    cobs. Cooked up some barley and let it cool in an EVOO-white wine
    vinaigrette. Stirred in corn kernels, along with diced tomato, green
    pepper, red onion, fresh basil and parsley. Served the salad with
    salmon kebabs. THE ONE TRUE COBBLER (also leftover from last night) was
    for dessert.

    Cut potatoes into quarters lengthwise
    Then cut each quarter crosswise in half to form wedges
    Toss and coat potatoes well in the mixture

    I think more onion is needed. Like 1 instead of 1/2 a onion. But you
    could have a point...For a while I was thinking it needed carrot or
    even caraway seeds.

    FWIW: I think you over-did the celery. Try cutting it down to 1
    stalk. How did you like the combo of cumin and kraut?

    I've got a gallon of blueberry ice cream in the freezer. I got 3 pints of
    blueberries at the Sappington Farmer's Market for $4 last week. I bought 6
    pints. I made a blueberry and a butter pound cake and I'm eating the last
    of the blueberries on the cake with whipped cream. It is a wonderful way
    to nibble away the afternoon. I've eaten a ton of peaches, nectarines and
    blueberries this past week.
