Jim came over

to check me. The phone was off the hook and he wanted to make sure I was ok. I was in the tub and heard banging and knocking and got out. Wrapped in a towel I saw that he had been let into my back yard and was knocking on the door, First I went to the front door no one.

Then heard him in the back turned and went to the back door.

There he was with Bryan, my next door neighbor. When I opened the door David left. Jim said he just wanted to see that I was ok. I read his email last night, but not the last line about the phone.

He left, I went back to my bath, Lacy came out of hiding, and I put the phone off the hook.

He is a nice man, I appreciate the card he sent but don't show up.

Homemade Caesar Salad

I am a huge fan of Caesar Salads. Blackened shrimp is a plus)

Ingredients:

1/2 head of chopped romaine lettuce
1 egg yolk (the egg is raw, I like to use cage free, hormone free and antibiotic free eggs when I am eating them raw)
ground pepper to taste
1/2 tsp dry mustard powder
2 tsp chopped anchovy
2 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
1-1/2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

Directions:

1.Clean lettuce thoroughly and dry in a salad spinner or in towels. Refrigerate until crisp, at least 1 hour or more.
2.In a jar combine egg yolk, pepper, mustard, anchovy, garlic, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp of the Parmesan cheese. Whisk until well blended.
3.To assemble, place torn lettuce leaves in a large bowl. Pour dressing over the top and toss until well coated. Add the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately!
This Caesar Salad was perfect. Lots of garlic and lemon. Just the way I like it! Or with some bacon added in. Tailor this to your taste but definitely try it!
