Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe. The Tribune reporter called it "prized". We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd. I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs. And they were dirt cheap. The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces. We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...
Yeah, they reaaally deserved that one.
ReplyDeleteTie with Michigan... lost to Michigan... yet they are playing in the Rose Bowl instead of Michigan.
Stupid BCS.
BCS ShmeeCS. No one gets a fair shake any more, plus I'm as tired of watching Michigan lose in Pasadena as you are. It's the "middle tier's" turn to make the trip once or twice a decade, and I for one am happy the Fighting Zookers get a shot. They're a team that played wire to wire this year and soundly smashed low expectations; in 2007, that's a pretty damned deserving achievement!
