Vintage Recipes

I love vintage.

I’ll cuddle into vintage cashmere (like today when it is -38 with the windchill). 

I wear my Gran’s fur regularly.

We just furnished our basement with mid-cent finds from kijji.

I live in a house from the ’50′s…you get the idea.

That’s why I love to pull out retro recipes.

I made this recipe up remembering some trips to my Dad’s favourite steak place as a kid.

You know the type of place (this one was called El Stavro’s-I kid you not and was/is located in a refurbished A&W drivethru); dark, smoke-filled, velvet seats…

How more f@# B&^%$@# food can you get than Iceberg Wedges with Blue Cheese dressing.

a lot of dressing…

Ok. Perhaps an excess of dressing.

And bacon.

 Chunks of bacon.

You know , you think it’s a good idea.

Simply:

1) Cut a head of iceberg head into 6 wedges.

2) In a pouring jug mix; 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, 1/2 cup mayonaise, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 2 garlic cloves chopped, 1/2 tsp worstershire, dash hot sauce and enough milk to make the mixture pourable (about 3/4 cup).

3) Lovingly, pour over the lettuce (it’s still roughage, even when doused with fat)

4) Crunch a piece of crisp bacon over each and as much coarse black pepper as you like C:
