History:
The cheese sauce is Creamy White Wine
and Garlic Sauce sauce from Cooking With
Three Ingredients (1996 Quill/Harper
Collins) by Andrew Schloss.
Notes:
As for the Salad, the cheese sauce also
works nicely as a salad dressing.
Never, ever, use iceberg lettuce. If
you have ever read any book on raising
rodents like hamsters, or rabbits you
will learn that the first rule is "DO
NOT FEED THEM ICEBERG". Iceberg is
evil. It takes more from the body than
it gives. Seriously. It is all water
with no nutritional value and if you
were to depend on it for survival you
will die faster than if you just drank
water by its self. Blue cheese: only by
the good stuff. The fewer the
ingredients the better. If you can get
organic then buy that. There is no
comparison between Kraft Blue cheese and
the real thing. Huge chunks of blue
cheese and massive amounts of flavor.
You will use less of it than if you pick
a cheap brand that is all soybean and
canola oil. You pay for what you get
here. You can cheat on some things but
not on Blue Cheese.
Variants:
If I do this one over again (and I will)
I will throw some garlic in with the
shallots.
