5 August 2011 Fish Friday

5 August 2011 Fish Friday
Our friend Michael from the bike club does Seafood Saturday each week.
He invited us to come for dinner but we couldn’t make it until November.
I asked if we could possibly to FISH FRIDAY instead….Fridays are better for us.
Michael & I with dogs in tow went over to Michael & Judith’s for dinner.

I was in charge of brining salad – I made a Caesar salad –
it is my Michael’s favorite
Cimg3115
most of the ingredients for making Caesar salad dressing
– it’s pretty easy to make
(i made it the night before sp the flavors would meld)

here is the recipe:
Cimg3164
I made a paste of the anchovies & garlic so it would blend better
Cimg3165
salad dressing was very tasty but there were a few tweaks
i would make next time I make it & I WILL make it again
as it was DELICIOUS

We visited the fish we gave Michael for his pond.
They are all doing well & no casualties to date.

Caesar Dressing (with mayonnaise)

 Caesar Dressing (with mayonnaise)
Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
4 anchovy fillets (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white wine vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (use the THICK one – if you have it)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise  (use more)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (use less)

Directions:
1. Mix everything in a bowl.

I liked making the garlic & anchovies into a paste
so it would mix better with all the ingredients.

I put in a jar when I was finished so I could
shake it up really good!

for finishing touches —
sprinkle a GENEROUS amount of grated cheese
(traditional is parmesan – i use whatever is the fridge)
add croutons then dressing MIX it up & EAT!!!!
