Caesar Salad

I start on the Caesar salad, the Kesar salad

Yeah, start on the Kesar salad. Well, that looks delicious. When we go out to eat, Brandon says to the waiter

I'll have the Kesar salad. And a filet mignon. And fat filet mignon

I think it's funny. I don't know what I'm doing. We do

All right, Paula, what do you want me to do? Cheryl, if you would grate the cheese, I'm going to get Brandon started on the croutons

OK. The croutons have the restaurant you deep fry, don't you? Yes, we do

Oh, and they're good. They're like amazing. You are correct, Brandon. I haven't been there

All right, how much cheese, Paula? I probably need about a third of a cup here. Okay

Please. And while you're doing that, I'll mix together a seasoning for the croutons

It's just a fourth of a teaspoon of onion powder, a fourth of a teaspoon of garlic powder

half a teaspoon of seasoned salt and one teaspoon of Italian seasoning

We're not deep frying these though. Or are we? No, we're not going to deep fry them

Because we're on a diet. We're doing a ladies dinner. Ladies do not like the deep fried crudcon

I would have to go run 26 miles to have this salad. And it's almost swimsuit season, ladies

Paula, I can't believe we gave him a knife. That's so lovely

He, I have to say he is. I mean well. I going to cut these just a little bit smaller Okay Because that going to be hard to get that in our little pile

I knew I would do it wrong. Should I know? All right, you see, you want to make these not so big that you can't get them in your mouth with a piece of lettuce

How many people does it take to make croutons? Apparently. How many southerners does it take to make croutons

All right, here we go. Now we're going to toss these with our cheese and all those wonderful seasonings

Okay, yum. Yum. If they look like they need a little bit more oil, I'm going to just give them a little bit

Yes, olive oil. A little oil. Two syllables, oil. All right, y'all, let's put these in the oven

We'll bake those off for about 15 minutes. These are at $3.75

Yes. We'll probably go over and toss some, Cheryl, to make sure that..

Oh, midway? Yeah. Okay. Now, Cheryl, if you'd start prepping our lettuce

Okay. Now, on a Caesar salad, do you like to cut or tear

I think I've always torn, but you tell me. I like to tear, too

Of course. I don't... I think cutting's fancier, but I ain't saying nothing. No, it is not

And when you get through, just put that into our bowl. Okay. And while you're doing that, I'm going to start making our Caesar dressing

All right? All right. I'm going to start with one egg. You know a classic Caesar dressing almost always has a raw egg in it Oh Now some people Well you have good eggs Yes I got good eggs My little chickadees give them to me fresh daily So what do people do if they don use a fresh

egg? You know they can just omit it. Okay. I'm gonna eyeball about a tablespoon of Worcestershire

Okay. I'm gonna add a fourth of a teaspoon of red pepper flakes Cheryl. Okay. I'm gonna

to add a half a teaspoon of salt. And you'll want to be careful because I'm going to put

anchovy paste in here. Okay, and that's strong. And those little fish are very, very salty

But it's good. It's so good. So I'm going to put about a fourth of a teaspoon. Okay

Oh, that's so pretty. Look at that pretty lettuce, Cheryl. Isn't that beautiful

Yes. So, Brandon, how are you coming? I'm just covering the table

We're going to have no room for utensils or anything, but it's going to be beautiful. Brandon

More is more. More is more. We'll add about a third of a cup of our lemon juice

What's taking so long? I could be having cocktails right now. We're coming

We're coming. and we're hurrying. Story of my life. All right. How much cheese

About a half a cup, Cheryl. And now I gonna add a cup of olive oil There is nothing like a homemade salad dressing No You think Hey Donna Hey Donna

You made it me. Hey, I was worried about you. Hey, Donna

Come on. Cut the pork. Yes. Now, I'm going to add the rest of our Parmesan cheese

All right, Cheryl, if you would dress that salad, please. Okay. All right

Do it right or we'll never hurt the end of it. Am I that bad, Cheryl? No

I'm bossy in the kitchen. I'm so sorry. We love it. You just know what you like

We have our standards, don't we, Paula? Yes. Okie doke. Here we go

Told you you wouldn't do it right. You didn't listen. Oh, I knew that it was going to happen

But I'm okay because you know what? I'm going to learn something. every time

I like this weeknight dinner party thing. It's kind of nice just to have girls all together

on a weekday. Yes, it is. Y'all ready? We are ready

I love, look what Brandon did. Isn't that gorgeous? Yes, I think that's for our hair

All of us? I wish I had hair to put it in. This is like the lady and her girls

You could put it in your bag. Yes. Do you need ham? Yes. Another restaurant

Thank you. You're welcome. And I'm loving this salad, Paula. It's so fast and easy

Well, I'm loving the potatoes. Delicious
