Here’s the story…

Early on, when Al and I were back in love, we frequented an Italian restaurant near his place. We thought their Caesar dressing was the best ever. So one night, I asked the waitress if I could have the recipe. She came back with the recipe on a piece of paper which we treasured after that while making the dressing. However, a couple months later, the recipe was in one city and we were in another wanting to make the dressing. So we thought we would contact the restaurant again to ask for the recipe. We were informed, rather haughtily, that they did NOT give out the recipe – that it was a restaurant secret… We could only be grateful that a young waitress didn’t know she shouldn’t give it to us!! Enjoy!
