Well, it is pretty yummy, and the anchovies are invisible in the dresssing.<BR/>Nah. Eat it yourself.<BR/><BR/>ChileBrown: Coinkydink! I imagine it would be lovely with avocado; a lot creamier.<BR/><BR/>Spiteful: Let me guess. You don't like anchovies, garlic, probably mayonnaise. (And you're in cooking school; tsk.)<BR/>Yes, I like to explore the oldies. I have a whole shelf of old cookbooks.<BR/><BR/>Anna: Funny.<BR/>PS: You have to actually put in an order for that cheese; they can't even get it out to the cheese case before it's all picked up. Jeez.<BR/><BR/>Kudzu: For a lot of foodies, "iceberg" acquired the same knee-jerk negative connotations that "socialism" did for Republicans. Oh, and I had a friend who simply would not touch rose wine.<BR/>Enjoy your salad!<BR/><BR/>Eugenia: Yeah, and the English chef thought it had avocado too, so you are an English chef!<BR/><BR/>Nancy: I'm cool with blue cheese too, but I just don't want to have it *very* often.<BR/><BR/>El: Almost like a race among the bloggers to get there first. But the truth is, I really wanted it *now*.<BR/><BR/>Tina: It was worth it. I sniffed my fingers all day. It helped that I was the one who chopped the ingredients.<BR/><BR/>Heather: I'm awesome.<BR/>The secret to stinky makeouts is you both have to eat the same food.<BR/><BR/>Dagny: I'm all for stimulating the salivary glands.

However, I made that salad and really liked it. I added Romaine lettuce and liked the vinegar bite. It made a nice change from my usual olive oil and lemon juice dressing. But - like eugenia - blue cheese is my weakness. I'll put blue cheese on anything that I can. Well, almost anything; I do have my standards.

It does. I mean, yes I adore all other leafies but there are classics where it reigns. Green Goddess is a wonderful Amurrican invention and I fully intend to go out tomorrow to fill out the ingredient list to make it for me-self. Vinegars are as individual as wines, we know, and mayhap yours was a touch wilder than what they used back in the day.

I like that about you. So, since I don't have to pretend to like the idea of Green Goddess dressing, I will complement you on keeping traditional recipes alive. So many of our great-grandparents were far better cooks than we are. The only way to keep a dying art alive is to practice it.The Spiteful Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309097272920178065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-18436243123419372112008-11-10T18:35:00.000-08:002008-11-10T18:35:00.000-08:00How funny, We just made a Green Goddess dressing t...How funny, We just made a Green Goddess dressing the other day.
