Too Much Information

morrowplanet:

I miss this weekend.

TJ and Mike = my brothers from other mothers.

A picture is worth a 1000 words.

WE’LL NEVER KNOW

Pre-gaming the internet party!

Ahem, TJ.

My 2 brothers from other mothers.

For TJ. A well-loved recipe.

Lemony Caesar Salad (New Basics Cookbook)

• 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts
• 4 thin slices whole-grain bread
• ¼ cup Anchovy Spread (recipe follows)
• ½ large head romaine lettuce, rinsed and patted dry
• 4 oz Parmesan cheese in one piece

1. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Add the walnuts, and sauté over medium heat until lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes.  Set aside.
2. Toast the bread; then spread each slice with Anchovy Spread, and scatter with the toasted walnuts.
3. Tear the lettuce into pieces, and toss with the dressing
4. Place a piece of prepared toast on each plate, and top with a portion of the lettuce and dressing. Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Parmesan over each portion. Serve immediately.

4 portions

Anchovy Spread

• 12 anchovy fillets, drained
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced

1. Using a fork, mash the anchovies in a small bowl
2. In another small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together. Add to eh anchovies, and mix until a paste has formed.

About ¼ cup

Lunch with nicky36, The Boy, tj, and superfantastic in DC.

You are jealous, yes?

That was fun! Let’s do it again when it isn’t a bajillionty degrees outside.

The TJs sent Aaron 5 lbs (yes, 5 lbs) of malt balls to thank him for babysitting The Boy in Pittsburgh. The remainder have found an awesome home.
