Recipe Blogging
I like to cook. The wife and I have various recipes strewn about the house on paper, note cards, and carrier pigeons. And I have the oft neglected recipes category on the blog. So, I decided it’d a good idea so start typing them up to put on the old webpage so that I can 1) find them easily; 2) share with people; and 3) for the kids to find later. I’ve discovered at this point in life that my mom and dad made some really damn good food. And I occasionally want some of the old favorites. But, I don’t have the recipe. So, I call up mom and ask how to make stuff. Like her clam chowder. So, if my kids want that, they’ll have it.
Speaking of mom, I generally like to make my own salad dressing. Here’s one of my faves from Mom: Hawaiian Dressing. And, so, it seems appropriate to start this new endeavor with a new favorite of mine: Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing (quick and easy).
1 cup mayo
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Quarter cup of milk
Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth.
Update: For you purists, no there’s no anchovy paste. Mostly because I don’t usually have any around.

No anchovies, Uncle?
Don’t know what that is, but it ain’t no Caesar 🙂

I don’t usually have anchovies around the house. And the Mrs. is not a fan. It’s Caesar enough.

Caesar is still Caesar without anchovies. Cool new recipes category, great idea.

First off, my congratulations to your mother who did not just throw pineapple at something and call it Hawaiian. However, I gotta ask, are you sure about the amounts of the ingredients? As presented they would add up to way less than a cup of salad dressing.
If you are sure, I’ll try it that way. But I gotta ask before I do.
