A Ceasar salad with ranch dressing?

You guys *are* some kind of weird heathens.

I have nothing against Caesar dressing; I just like Ranch better. In fact, I like most salad dressings, except French, Russian and Blue Cheese. My faves outside of Ranch would be Italian or Greek, I think.

FWIW, I just finished lunch, which consisted of a bowl of Mommy's Homemade Concoction of rainbow rotini, cubed turkey chunks, mixed vegetables, oregano, and a dash of parmesan cheese, washed down with ice water; and a small bowl of Banana Nut Crunch with skim milk for dessert.

Good stuff, Maynard.

But how can it be a "ceaser salad" without "ceaser dressing"?

Weird.

By contrast, my favorite salad is really simple; lettuce, bacon, and blue cheese dressing.

I love Greek salads.

Marinated Eggplant, the good olives with Pits and cherry peppers.

There is this great Greek Salad dressing that is deeeee-licious! I think its from Kraft...

 

[Caedmon]

OK!!! Everybody... Olive Garden on me!!!

LOL! J/K!!!

Those stuffed fried mushrooms ARE delicious though!

I get mine from Hot Rod Bob.

Semper Fi!

 

[ZooMom]

I like lots of different salad dressings, too. Buttermilk Ranch, Peppercorn Ranch, BLT Ranch, Cucumber Ranch, Original Ranch,...

 

[AngelAmidala]

LOL!!!

I just love ranch. Italian's good too (either the regular stuff or creamy)...but Ranch is the best.

With chicken nuggets or strips. Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Speaking of Italian dressing:

Buy the Fat-Free stuff and pour over chicken or fish and bake. WONDERFUL!


the house stinks from garlic, though...

I had a buster bar today! We had a DQ office run...oh YEAH!

 

[AngelAmidala]

Oooooo DQ office run! hehe...we usually have DQ runs after choir practice.

VOW - That's how my mom used to make pork chops!

Garlic is not a "stink", VOW dear.

Garlic is an "aroma".

Besides, it keeps vampires away.

I always wondered why they sell the little 4 oz jars of minced garlic. I mean, the 2 pound jars are so much more cost effective, and you only need about one a month...

Seebs..You must be aquainted with a lot of vampires!
I find that 4 oz of minced garlic is enough, per month, to repel the pushiest of bloodsucking demons.

 

[seebs]

Oh, I'm not worried about vampires. I just like spicy spaghetti.

 

[Wolseley]

Entwined rose thorns will keep them away, too.

Trust me.

P.S.: I like spicy spaghetti, too.

Okay, spaghetti recipe time!

Peter's Weird Garlic Pasta
Serves one if he wants to get a spare tire, two if Jesse is hungry.

Ingredients:
Olive oil
Garlic
Cayenne pepper
Black pepper
Salt
"Italian Seasoning"
Spaghetti
Parmesan cheese

Put about 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a small frying pan. Add about 3oz minced garlic, 1/2tsp salt, 1tsp of italian seasoning, and as much black and cayenne pepper as you can stand. Stir together, but don't heat. ("italian seasoning" is the green generic mixed herbs almost all stores sell.)

Boil water. When water is boiling, add spaghetti; at this point, turn on medium heat under the olive oil mix. Stir regularly, and when it starts bubbling, turn it to low heat, so it's just barely simmering. When the spaghetti is cooked, turn off the heat on the olive oil.

Drain spaghetti.

Add olive oil to spaghetti.

Add parmesan cheese - I like to have a *lot* of cheese, but you can get away with just a bit.

The result is a strong, spicy, flavor. Cooking the garlic takes away the "sharp edge" that many people dislike. It does not detract from the wonderful aroma.

For best results, consume only when you have something with milk in it (I use frappucino) to cut the heat to a bearable dull roar.

I think that's roughly correct. I suspect it could be done with less garlic, but the garlic really helps.

I'm with Seebs on this one, Wolseley.

I buy the giant jars of garlic, and put it in damned near everything. When you use that much, it stinks.

But the whole NEIGHBORHOOD knows yer cookin'!!!


Peace and binaca,
~VOW

 

[seebs]

It doesn't stink! It fills the air with a kind and gentle aroma.

Also, it kills small flying insects that enter the affected area.

 

[Caedmon]

Uh oh...

Umm, Seebs? I may be needing your assistance in the "PTL, we got a forum" thread in "Nondenom./Ref./Prot."... and that right soon.

 

[Caedmon]

PS -- Did I mention that I love Italian???

*droooooo-oooooooooolllllllllll*
