West Side can do better than ousted state rep
BY MARY MITCHELL email@example.com September 19, 2012 8:18PM
Lance Tyson, was chosen by the Democratic ward committeemen to go up against state Rep. Derrick Smith who is running re-election despite a bribery charge. . | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Updated: October 21, 2012 2:45PM
A recent poll of West Side voters showing former state Rep. Derrick Smith swamping Lance Tyson, his third-party rival in the November election, is an embarrassment.
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Rich Miller in his Capitol Fax newsletter reported the survey Monday.
Although 43 percent of respondents were undecided (frankly, what's there to decide), the tainted Smith led Tyson, a municipal lawyer, 48 percent to 9 percent.
If these voters aren't vigilant, they could end up sending Smith back to the General Assembly even though he was expelled over allegations he took a $7,000 bribe.
Smith is innocent until proven guilty, but in this instance that's beside the point. This is no longer about him. This is about you. Someone who is fighting to stay out of jail isn't going to have much left over to fight battles on behalf of his constituents.
I sat down with Tyson at Ina's Restaurant on Wednesday because I was curious about why he had such a poor showing against Smith.
Did he have two heads and a beer belly?
Tyson acknowledged the poll caught him off guard because he hasn't even put his mailers out and was still making the rounds knocking on doors.
But he believes the poll doesn't measure voter preference as much as it reveals how uninformed voters are in the 10th District.
"The notion that someone would be willing to sell out their community for $7,000 from a day center shouldn't even exist." he said.
Having worked closely with legislators, and having served as chief of staff at the beginning of former Cook County Board President Todd Stroger's administration, Tyson had reasons to sit on the sidelines.
"Leadership is on the downfall," he said. "As a man I could either let that happen or I could step up and I chose to step up. I think its imperative people recognize the consequences of electing that kind of leadership," Tyson said.
It wasn't supposed to be this messy.
After Smith won the primary, he reneged on a deal with Democratic supporters to let another Democrat take the seat. Despite pressure from Democratic honchos, Smith has refused to go away.
That forced them to run Tyson as a third-party candidate, which likely confused some voters.
"In order to inform voters, we have to pay for mailers and education. I've put $28,000 to $35,000 of my own money into this race," he said.
"The real piece is waking people up. We need to talk to our folks and let them know the consequences of this election."
Tyson left the Stroger administration after 11/2 years and before his reputation could be sullied by the incompetency that will be forever associated with Stroger's tenure.
He is a married father with a 3-year-old. He took the bar three times before he passed, which says a lot about his tenacity. He knows how deals are struck and legislation is crafted. He's founder of a successful law practice, the Tyson Law Group, and doesn't appear to be looking for a job.
But more importantly, he seems to have the heart for the work that needs to be done.
If elected, his top priority would be to establish a tax credit for employers who hire ex-offenders and expand the authority of the Illinois Finance Authority to issue more debt to build more infrastructures and therefore hire more people, he said.
"I believe we address the violence problem by making sure a man can wake up in the morning, shave, iron his clothes and go to work. At the end of the day, his duty is to take care of his family and he is going to do it either through the criminal enterprise or the free enterprise," Tyson said.
Smith was the first House member kicked out in more than 100 years. After expulsion, the disgraced legislator said people in the 10th District encouraged him to "fight the good fight."
But what could that mean?
The good fight is getting young, idle men off the corners and putting them to work. The good fight is being welcomed at the table with legitimate business owners and striking deals that will build up the West Side. The good fight is setting a good example of credibility and competency for our children.
Because of the allegations hanging over his head, Smith can do none of these things effectively.
If Smith is re-elected because people don't know, it would be tragic. If they know and go out and make that choice, "I will live with that," Tyson said.
"Because at the end of the day, we get the government we deserve."

I have Windows 7, Office 2007, Adobe Reader 11. When I download a file, word doc, PDF, I get the window that asks me what language I want to read it in or what program I want open it. The program list does not include word or adobe. If I choose notpad or wordpad all I get is code. So I can't read any files my friends or coworkers send me to download and read.

When you recieve the window asking you which program you want to open with, does it look like this?
Note: I selected a random file on my system, you will not recieve these program suggestions but the layout of the window should be the same.
If it does, note the 'Other Programs' underneath the icons for the main programs it has suggested by default. This will give you more suggestions based on the file type, or what you have used to open files in the past. If none of those are right, you can always click the 'Browse' button and navigate to the program yourself
Alternatively if none of the above applies then you can call up the window shown above by right-clicking on the file in question and selecting Open With.
If you have never used this feature before then it may pop up the window straight away, but (!):
If it has a little arrow to the side of the words, then hovering over that will bring up a submenu. On here, click Choose default program.
Hope this helps.

New Plan Proposed To Sell Land In GTNP
Efforts to complete the sale of the state's four parcels in Grand Teton National Park in exchange for $53-million in mineral severance payments from the federal government has taken a little different focus. Wyoming State Representative Keith Gingery says cash no longer appears to be an option because of sequestration and other budget issues at the federal level. Gingery says he does not understand the logic behind the federal government's non-payment of the severance funds since it is a revenue sharing arrangement where the feds collect the mineral royalties from federal leases in Wyoming and are to keep half of them. Now, Gingery says, the only viable option to consummate the sale of land in Grand Teton National Park is through a land exchange with the BLM. Under that proposal, the BLM would transfer lands with mineral wealth to the State of Wyoming in exchange for the state school lands in the park. Any land exchange will have to be approved by the Wyoming Legislature. Gingery says he remains optimistic about finding a solution for consummating the land deal with the federal government prior to the deadline for the sale at the end of this year. He points out that the state is required to use those parcels in the park for the benefit of the state's schools, but the lands need to be protected because of their location in the national park.

Guestbook comments from the manager
We had a wonderful time at Campomar. What a dream cottage it is. We were able to visit family and travel a wide area. At last I got to see the Alhambra!
I am just writing to say thank you for such a lovely holiday. We all really
enjoyed our stay at Campomar. It was extremely relaxing and the swimming
pool was a real luxury. Our Spanish neighbours were very friendly and we
also especially liked the donkeys up on the hill.
Thanks again for allowing us the use of such a charming house.
Just a quick note to say thank you for the return of my deposit. We had a lovely time at Campomar, it was so peaceful and relaxing just what we needed to recharge our batteries ready for my daughters wedding and we were also very lucky with the weather – sunshine all week, it was a shame we had to leave.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Police fatally shot man following a 90-minute standoff at a Jacksonville mobile home park.
Authorities say the man came running out of a home at the Countryside Villages mobile home park Tuesday night.
The Florida Times-Union (http://bit.ly/13LmUf6 ) reports the man started firing a weapon as he ran, hollering hysterically. Officers opened fire on him and he fell to the ground.
Before the man ran out of the house, officers had been talking to him on a loud speaker, trying to get him to surrender.
The man's name hasn't been released. Neighbors told the newspaper a man and his stepfather live in the mobile home.
No further details were immediately available.

The sense of contentment and happiness radiating from Julio Iglesias and his Dutch love on their wedding day is unmistakeable.
Inseparable for 20 years, Julio and Miranda Rijnsburger, the mother of five of his eight children, decided that this was the right moment - and the right way - to celebrate their love.
A private civil service on August 24, with their children as witnesses, was followed by a joyous thanksgiving mass at the family estate which overlooks the sea near Marbella.
And, in pictures published exclusively by our sister magazine HOLA! the iconic Latin singer, who is 66, later shared their intimate day with fans.
Miranda, 45, made a dazzling bride, dressed in elegant summer style by Oscar de la Renta, a family friend, for both events.
"We are celebrating 20 years of emotion, of my deep admiration for her," the performer recently told HELLO!.
"Twenty years of so many beautiful things.
"Twenty years that I would do all over again right now.

In Russia, Sign a Mortgage and Get a Cat -- But Only for Two Hours
Russia's largest bank wants to lend you a cat. Isn't that nice?
What did you do for the good folks of Sberbank, the Moscow-based lender, that would make them want to drive a van to your home and drop off one of their 10 cats -- which they keep just for occasions like this -- so you can hang out with it for not more than two hours? Well, they just lent you the money for the house and, as Russian superstition has it, it's good luck for the first creature to cross the threshold of a new home to be a feline. And, yes, the cat has to be returned to the bank.
This neighborly campaign from the friendliest of all Russian banking behemoths is a ploy to cash in on Russia's mortgage market boom. According to the Central Bank of Russia, demand for home mortgages is on the rise. People "watch[ing] their savings lose value amid a sliding ruble and rising interest rates" are the driving factor, according to the Moscow Times. Cats, apparently, are the key for Sberbank cashing in.
How excited can people be about cats that they don't get to keep? Apparently very, if the bank's marketing video is any indication. Once the superstitious home buyer gets his loan approved, he gets to pick (online even!) which charmed rattrap will be ferried in to consecrate his new abode. There's a counter below each cat, in case you feel like keeping score. The furry talisman will then wander around your house until its handlers -- two unshaven men in green overalls -- whisk it away to its next engagement.
Relevant questions that go unanswered by a campaign designed to tug all the heartstrings of an Internet generation now brainwashed to love cats include: Does it count if you nudge the cat through the door? If an old lady gives Knop (the No. 1 most popular house-blessing mouse-hunter) a friendly push in the right direction, will that nix the grimalkin-voodoo hunting powers for which she paid good money? And if so, what horrors await the little girl who so unceremoniously hauled Timothy into her new living room? Do you think Caesar's mustache is fake? Is the loan contract voided if hairless Kuzma refuses to cooperate?
Possible pitfalls aside, if you're interested, you'd better act fast: The deal only lasts until mid-December, at which point if you want to buy into this kooky tradition, you may just have to adopt a cat.

The wreckage was found in a cliff band about a mile west of the airport six hours later.
A photo of the wreckage Tweeted by Masters on Monday shows the charred fuselage of the plane with the wings largely intact.

Eric Clapton moves Crossroads to N.Y. after 2 fests near Chicago
BY THOMAS CONNER Pop Music email@example.com November 26, 2012 8:28PM
Monaco F1 Grand Prix - Race
Updated: December 28, 2012 6:20AM
Eric Clapton's every-three-years Crossroads Guitar Festival has been scheduled for 2013 — but nowhere near Chicago.
The guitar legend's star-studded benefit will take place April 12-13 at New York City's Madison Square Garden. Guests include B.B. King, the Allman Brothers, Earl Klugh, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Vince Gill and Robert Cray.
Leading up to the event, Clapton and his band will perform 15 shows on a tour stretching through the South. Alas, no Chicago dates there, either.
The Crossroads Guitar Festival premiered in 2004 in Dallas, then held down the Toyota Park venue in Bridgeview for 2007 and 2010.
It's not a snub, though: Clapton's original goal was to move the festival around each time. Sources told us in 2010 the repeat here was simply because Clapton digs Chicago.
All profits from the Festival benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, the chemical-dependency treatment facility Clapton founded in the 1990s.

Ready to earn it: No. 4 Wildcats won't let rank define seasonPublished 10:14am Monday, August 12, 2013
After last season's 11-2 campaign, the Benjamin Russell Wildcats football team enter this season not only as the favorite to win the region crown but also as a dark horse contender for the state championship.
Despite being ranked No. 4 in Class 5A to start the season, the Wildcats have no plans on letting that distinction go to their heads.
In fact, they aren't even concerned with where they are now, according to BRHS head football coach Danny Horn.
"Well, to be honest with you, I don't really pay much attention to the poll," Horn said. "To me, the rankings don't mean a whole lot because we have the playoffs at the end of the season."
Horn said the rankings have only served to paint a target on the Wildcats, and his primary focus is to make sure the team is ready to play week in and week out.
"We're not going to sneak up on anyone this year," Horn said. "We have to learn how to handle winning."
Still, Horn acknowledges that the preseason rankings do serve a bit of a purpose.
"It's good recognition," he said. "To get from where we've been to where we're at, it's a positive."
While being No. 4 in Class 5A has given BRHS a chance to reflect on the strides it has made with Horn at the helm, the coach said it wouldn't change how his team would prepare for the 2013 season.
"Don't get me wrong, it's great statewide recognition," Horn said. "But we weren't ranked until about week 6 or 7 of last season. It doesn't matter if we're ranked or not."
It also doesn't matter if any rivals are ahead of the Wildcats, Horn said.
BRHS rival Homewood is ranked No. 3 in the state, and it handed the Wildcats their only regular season loss.
According to Horn, the onus is on the Wildcats themselves to take care of business on the field, as the ranking in front of their name won't have any bearing on the results.
"We have to learn to handle everything that comes with it," Horn said. "We're going to continue preparing as we usually do, and we have to go out there and play each game like it's our last."

Rays + Laughter = Pure Magic
Coming into Spring Training, the Tampa Bay Rays have 20 of the 25 members of the 2011 squad back for another chance at the brass ring. That fact by itself is amazing, but considering the youth and talent of this group, that could also be a seasonal occurance for a while. And with that familiarity of the personnel comes a consistency, a confidence and most of all a bond that almost nothing can break.
Humor seems to be the bond of this young squad. From veteran 1B Carlos Pena producing a small masterpiece with resident comedian C Steven Vogt impersonating Rays skipper Joe Maddon to a nationwide acknowledgment of this talented group off the turf by INF Eliot Johnson as he nails ESPN's resident leprechaun Tim Krukjian, humor rules the Rays roost.
From their great road trip ensembles of years past, to their annual Spring talent reveal, this Rays team knows the value of a giggle, belly laugh or even a practical joke. That lends a lot to a young team fighting for an identity. It bonds each member a bit tighter together and with that comes a more refined unity needed over the grueling 162 game schedule.
No matter if it is a joke, a story or even a off-the-cuff impression, the antics this young team does in the dugout, clubhouse or even in public shows they do not take themselves too seriously and know their day job comes with stress, but comic relief is only a conversation away.
Some might not guess, but this humor also keeps peop-le in check. How can we all forget the sunflower seed shower given to Rays P David Price during a live interview in 2011 when fellow hurler James Shields decided Price needed a bit of props/sunflower seeds for the interview process. I still chuckle at the mention of this event because it firmly illustrates the loose vibe in this clubhouse and the players ability to not take themselves so seriously.
Laughter by itself is also a great indicator of the closeness and unity of this Rays squad. For to laugh at yourself or others and take it with a grain of salt is the measure of this team grasping the reality that every win is critical, but sometimes steams has to be let off, and laughing is better than a more votatile alternative.
Joking around both before, during and after the game has been around for as long as players have taken to the diamond. It is a productive way to let off steam, do karma patrol action to players who's follies might be known or personal as well as keep themselves loose and ready for anything. As long as this team stays in this humerous state, I think this team can go as far as their on the field talents take them. But if the laughter tends to cease in the clubhouse and on the field, then it is time to worry about these guys.
E-10, Photographer Throw High and Wide on Rays Spring Photos
If the recent Tampa Bay Rays Team Spring photos is any indication, I am starting to think the Tampa Bay Rays 2012 season is going to be more back to the basic, nothing flashy or disrupting to the status quo of the "Rays Way". Maybe I was anticipating a re-visit or renewal of the grandeur and glamor of the Rays 2010 Spring Team photos that took my breath away, and made you wanted to see more of them.
If the 2012 Team Spring photos are any indication, this season is going to be a bare bones, nose to the grindstone, no huge frills and spills kind of season…not that this is a bad thing, maybe I set my expectations too high this season. But then again, it is Spring and hope has to grow eternal and unbridled.
Sure the 41 photos recently uploaded to the Zimbio webpage by photographer Jonathan Ferrey had some unusual and classic poses within their compositions, but somehow a large glove-full of the Rays possible 2012 roster personnel missed their camera time with the Zimbio photog. At least we know Rays 3B Evan Longoria got a few extra shots. Maybe dating a Playmate does have some photo advantages, but a total of 13 individual photos? Longo is one of the cornerstones of this team's offensive and defensive foundations, but so many other cogs of the machine are missing, lost their possible chance in this annual Rays ritual of Spring.
Sure C Mark Thomas and OF Jeff Salazar who are both Rays Spring Training invitees got their respective mugs/poses on a photo, but missing were a huge slice of the Rays other core players like starter Wade Davis, Rays Bullpen members JP Howell, Brandon Gomes, Joel Peralta, Jake McGee, and newcomers Burke Badenhop and Josh Lueke. Is it even imaginable that each and every one of these players somehow missed the vocal call for photos? Am I the only one who feels it is purely insane that 2011 American League Rookie of the Year Jeremy Hellickson would have, could have somehow missed his 2012 photo chance, or was it a captive selection of players designated by the Zimbio photographer?
I have not even begun to scratch the surface of the possible MLB bolo report put out since the "Legend" Sam Fuld, infielders Jeff Keppinger, Ben Zobrist, and Eliot Johnson must have mis-placed their "memos" possibly on their photo chance. Even more disappointing is that Carlos Pena somehow missed the photo cut…Really?
Want another firm kick in the proverbial teeth, the only catcher featured in the photo shoot was Jose Molina, and that was only for 1 photo. Heck even Reid Brignac got more photos than Molina, and he is not guaranteed a starting slot. I know there is a growing army of female Rays followers who would love to see a recent photo of Robinson "Honey Nut" Chirinos or even Jose Lobaton, but they will have to drive to the Charlotte Sports Park and take their own this Spring.
Maybe I got used to the flash and glamor set forth by those 2010 photos that had every single member of the Rays squad, including the Coaching staff in some sort of pose or hitting posture with the added sun flare somewhere within the photo framing. Maybe I was expecting something grand, a statement by the Rays this season as they start their 15th season.
But there were some positives in this set of photos of the 2012 Rays. We got to actually see what top Rays prospect Hak-Ju Lee will look like in a Rays uniform. We already know Lee can dance, and his bat has some magic in it, but seeing him in the Rays whites definitely makes you eager and hoping for the Rays future shortstop to make some additional magic happen during his minor league season so we can see him in that uniform possibly in September.
Maybe I am nitpicking here a bit, but I have come to expect more, especially after that grand and fabulous 2009 Spring photo package. Heck, even Rays skipper Joe Maddon had a possible glamor shot in 2009 that to this day might be one of the best photos of the Rays newly extended Manager.
I possibly wanted something again to "pop" off the screen of my computer, wished for another set of dynamic photos taken that would get my blood pumping, the sweat beading around my cap and the Rays Republic making photo copies of the team photos for signatures in the future. Not sure if any of these Rays Spring photos will be seen on the sidelines before games in 2012. Certainly doubt it (shudder).

2012 Toby Hall & Friends Celebrity Golf Classic
Professional athletes have a special format and platform to help educate and introduce us to charities and organization that are among us that without their support or enlightenment might go unnoticed or suffer financial downfalls and possible extinction. This is one of the many reasons I have chosen to be a part of the annual Toby Hall and Friends Celebrity Golf Classic. Well, that and helping out one of my true baseball friends.
His 2012 event again was overflowing with support from the baseball and sports community of Tampa Bay. From the Tampa Bay Lightning to former and current athletes coming together to help support Hall and The Miracle League, the event was a winner from the arrival of the first golfer. This year the event took on a different feel for me. Hall had announced his official retirement as a player earlier in the year, and now his focus and determination was focused and pin-pointed towards helping those organizations that touched at his heart strings.
I also took on a different face within the classic this year as I was on the opposite end of the camera lens taking photos of some of the golfing pairings, and getting some unseen shots while accompanying Hall and his entourage around the course during the days events. It was great to see former Tampa Bay sports icons like Tampa Bay Bucs RB Mike Alstott, T E Dave Moore, K Martin Gramatica. and the Bucs mega fan Big Nasty made the region's football presence known at the event. Other NFL participants were Kansas City Chiefs TE Anthony Becht and former Jets, Bengals and Bucs OL Matt O'Dwyer.
As usual, the Major League Baseball community both in Tampa Bay and with a bevy of former Rays made the bulk of the events celebrity attendees, each bringing their own spin and special moments to the event. Current members of the Rays showing their support for the former Rays backstop included SP David Price who formed Team Price along with teammates SS Reid Brignac and CF B J Upton. Also attending the event was SP James Shields, Jeremy Hellickson, Alex Cobb and RF Matt Joyce who all acted as celebrity golfers in the classic's pairings.
But Rays players were not the only one having fun on the links this day, Rays Third Base Coach Tom Foley, former Pitching Coach Chuck Hernandez, Bench coach Bill Evers, former Rays Hitting Coach Steve Henderson and former Rays OF and current Montgomery Biscuits Coach Ozzie Timmons made their rounds Thursday. Former Rays bat boy and current Toronto Blue Jays P Jesse Litsch was also on hand as well as FSN Sports and Rays Television broadcast man-on-the-move Todd Kalas who came out to support the event plus performed some spontaneous Awards Dinner MC work that inspired the evenings auctions.
Several other former Rays and long time supporters of the classic which included a pair of new Chicago Cubs, LHP Trever Miller and RP Andy Sonnanstine, plus new Indians RP Dan Wheeler who made their annual show of support for their former teammate. Former Rays backstop Gregg Zaun again brought his humor and great vibe to the event along with Washington Nationals OF Jason Michaels who again brought his unique putter and local radio "babe" and original Hooters icon Lynne Austin who I still owe a Bloody Mary. Local NBA icon and restaurant owner Matt Geiger also showed his tall and big presence on the links.
It was a great day on the greens and fairways and I had a great time talking and shooting the breeze with many of the celebrities and amateurs who took to the links. With great weather and great bonding on the golf course, the night's final event brought the whole day to an eventual climax. Along with the raffles and awards presentation, Hall then introduced a group that had touched more than his heart strings to the assembled crowd.
Hall spoke of his recent introduction to another great baseball related group called Buddy Baseball that pairs a volunteer with a special needs player and they bond both on and off the field. His emotional moment touched so many in the crowd, and showed us another great organization to not only keep an eye on, but help develop into the successful model The Miracle League has become around the Tampa Bay area. Hall presented the group with a $ 4,000 check on this night, and with it came a rush of emotions all over the room and with the players and staff.
So many of the works and events that athletes do both in Tampa Bay or around the country do not get their "just desserts" within the local media. I volunteer for these events every Spring not to glamorize the athletes involved, but hope to inspire and promote others within the region to also join the path to helping these organizations have continued success and expansion into other Tampa Bay regions. Knowing that Hall has included the Baseball Buddies group now with The Miracle League charity it is a great moment for special needs kids and adults around the Tampa Bay area to have that unique baseball experience and enjoy the game.
Post Script:
I will be posting all my additional photos of the 2012 Toby Hall & Friends Celebrity Golf Classic on my Flickr page (Rays Renegade) if you might desire to re-post or download a photo for your own.
Toby Hall's (Surprise) Retirement Party
It was suppose to be a pairing party in advance of the 2012 Toby Hall and Friends Celebrity Golf Classic. It was suppose to be one of those meet and greet opportunities for the duffers to meet other members of their foursome, and also celebrate another awesome tournament. That was the plan Toby Hall had in his mind before he entered the Courtside Grille last night.
Instead it became an impromptu Retirement Party complete with the obligatory pine wooden rocking chair that party invitees were asked to sign and give their well wishes to Hall as he embarks on other adventures in his post MLB life like watching his kids grow up, and devote more time to his charity and other worthwhile endeavors. It was an event I did not want to miss.
There were people coming out of the proverbial woodwork for this honor like former Rays owner Vince Namoli who looked very relaxed and had even lost a few pounds. Former Rays Pitching Coach Chuck Hernandez came to the event as well as former Rays Bullpen Coach Glenn Ezell and current Bullpen Catcher/Enforcer Scott Cursi. The showing of support from former players on a night usually reserved for the menial task of assigning pairings was a complete success.
In the crowd was also former Rays OF Randy Winn, Toronto Blue Jays Pitcher/ Rays Bat boy Jesse Litsch, hurler Boof Bonser and Tampa Bay Bucs Defensive Back Ronde Barber. On the screens around the bar played a photo montage of Hall's days both at Triple-A Durham, Tampa Bay and his stint with the White Sox. Food was plentiful, drinks were flowing and the room held a great vibe of well wishes and a few well placed cards and present for Hall and his family.
As the pairing were being announced, it was immediately noticeable that this season's tournament had a few extra Rays names being bellowed out like P David Price, James Shields, Jeremy Hellickson, SS Reid Brignac, CF B J Upton, RF Matt Joyce along with Rays farm Coach Ozzie Timmons, Jason Michaels and the always entertaining Gregg Zaun. Former Rays RP Trever Miller, Dan Wheeler Andy Sonnanstine, Rays Coaches Tom Foley and George Hendricks plus that strapping young lad, FSN Florida/Rays traveling ambassador of good times Todd Kalas. The event seems to have exploded this season with the addition of several Rays player who will be first time attendees this year. The show of great support for Hall and his main charity, the Miracle League should make this the best tournament turnout and fundraising in the Toby Hall Foundation's history.
It was a great time to show our admiration and respect for a player who gave his all for the Rays, and is still considered the best to ever squat behind the plate. Hall may be leaving the game a bit earlier than he expected, or wanted, but his foundation, his children and his wife will be more devoted attention. If Hall takes to his retirement that way he called games and hit at the plate, then he will again be hitting for the fences. Go get 'em Toby!
Hoping There is One More Trade on the Back Burner
The Tampa Bay Rays have sent out the vibe that they are basically done "shopping" and will just add a few stray parts to their Spring Invite list thus possibly closing the door to any movements before the team's current player report to Port Charlotte, Florida in mid-February. I'm not buying this for nano second.
Maybe it is a gut feeling or possibly a bit too much Chipotle Tabasco sauce, but this team is never done trading up or passing up a deal that could eliminate payroll or provide a bit more stability to security within their roster. And with the Rays having to add a $1.25 million dollar cherry on top of their recent Carlos Pena sundae, this team will be more than n eager to take a call from a certain GM in the Nation's Capitol, possibly bringing a two-fold relief effort.
Of course I'm talking about Mike Rizzo, the General Manager of the Washington Nationals who has been poking and prodding B J Upton like a prized Angus beef cow for the last few years. Now that the Rays are possibly nearing the bursting point in their budget bubble, the right deal with the Nats for the right player (s) could happen quickly and also relieve some of that payroll pressure instantly giving the team actually a bit of payola if they want to bring in a right-handed bench bat with some of the pressure relieving cash.
Of course I'm talking about the Rays possibly finally sending B J Upton to the Nationals which would relieve $ 7.6 million off the Rays payroll in one swift move, adding the Nats would be bold enough to send SS Danny Espinosa to the Rays as the "other part of the bargain". Believe me, Espinosa can hit and field and is making the MLB minimum and has not even breached the arbitration process.
With one firm "Yuuuup", the Rays could plug their question mark at shortstop, bring some cash back into the fold to entice a right-handed bat and still tuck enough away for a possible late July movement if the Rays need additional firepower. It would also eliminate the ticking clock above Upton's head immediately, give him a clean break to go basically "back home", closer to his Northern Virgina roots and play in front of friends and family on a more opportunistic basis. Last but not least, it will make the Rays CF transition happen in a timely manner, giving heir apparent Desmond Jennings possibly the reigns to the spot.
It could facilitate a move by Matt Joyce to Leftfield or keep the status quo in Rightfield with Ben Zobrist and Joyce flip-flopping depending on the opposing pitching match ups like in 2011. The movement of Upton to another greener pasture could also give a golden opportunity to both Sam Fuld and Brandon Guyer to grab a hold of a Outfield flux and prove their worth to Maddon and his staff this Spring, possibly getting them to more time on the field. On the surface it looks like a win-win for everyone.
Even more interesting is the fact if the Rays did trade for Espinosa, it would bring into effect another "6 degrees of Longo connection" onto the Rays roster. You see, Espinosa like current Rays RP pitcher Cesar Ramos is also a ex-alum of Long Beach State University. Add that to the fact Espinosa can stroke the ball for power ( 21 HR, .735 OPS) and has speed (17 SB, 33 doubles), he could be a nice asset to offset the current short stop power deficiency.
Add plus to it all is that Espinosa will not reach the salary arbitration process until 2014, possibly being the stopgap defender up the middle the Rays could bank on until Huk-Ju Lee gets his feet wet at the MLB level. Espinosa also would have great trade value at the Trade Deadline this season if Reid Brignac rebounds and get off to a torrid start, or finally takes ownership of the Rays SS position.
It all looks enticing, but as we all know, the Rays do not ask my opinion on salary or team concept only if I want a large or medium Dr. Pepper at the concession stand. Still, I like this deal more for the possible immediate values and trade kickbacks this could have towards the Rays putting a team on the field that could suffice those nasty 2011 offensive sand traps.
I know this whole enchilada trade concept is more fantasy than reality, but the Rays have done thing before on the spur of the moment and they have paid some gritty dividends. I know possibly sending a veteran player and a guy who can be an offensive spark plug and defensive bright spot is a gamble, but it is one I would love to see more for the fact I would love to get a quality player in-house before the end of 2012 and possibly see Upton take a long walk and the Rays standing there empty-handed.
If this whole thing is just a dream sequence, please do not wake me until February 18th, I want to believe in its fruition for just a little bit longer.
Are The Rays Currently in Ghost Protocol Mode?
On Wall Street, the Trades and Acquisitions Department of large investment firm have the covert mentality of the CIA and other branches of International intrigue that use initials. Knowledge is power, and with that, secrecy and the movements under that umbrellas come at a premium.
So far this Winter we have heard and seen some of the clandestine targets and near misses of the Tampa Bay Rays, who operate under their own initialed powerful and might organization, the MLB, has taken the art form of gliding amongst the darkened halls with silent whispers to a new level. As we have learned in the past, the Rays have a circle of trust within its Fourth floor domain that no constants, syllable or even grown are visualized or voiced when the always alert media comes a-callin' with trade rumors and whispers in the wind.
Some moves might be counter-moves, made to seem directed towards a general target, but suddenly change direction, showing a more devious and unimagined alternative plan. Take the recent movement by the Rays to get the services of free agent outfielder Coco Crisp. That's right, the same Crispy critter who almost walked into a James Shields hay maker in 2008 that might have shattered Shield's pitching hand.
Who in their right Rays mind could have seen this one coming? Of course Crisp decided he like to stay on his dock by the bay and rejected the Rays advances. We know Crisp and Shields have buried their hatchet, but have all the bad blood been drained within the Rays Republic in regards to Crisp? That, my friends is blowing in the wind now, and great fodder for Happy Hour discussions. But the outfielder chatter did not stop with the Coco one, there was another attempt, or stab at Seth Smith, and adequate fielder and hitter in his own right to possibly be a Plan B to the Crisp covert ops.
But you got to ask of there is a problem within the Rays outfield we do not see, or are we possibly looking 4-moves behind the mind right now of Rays Executive VP of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. I was content to think we might see Desmond Jennings in Right field this season trading spots with Matt Joyce who I thought made his presence known for the full-time gig, even against southpaws. I had come to terms my myself that B J Upton might wear a question mark on his uniform instead of the # 2 this season as his tenure in Rays Center field is more rental than lease with an option to buy. Was starting to think someone named Damon might have the only true answer.
The moves towards Crisp and Smith have me wondering just how much confidence the Rays have in Sam Fuld, Brandon Guyer or even Justin Ruggiano to be that 4th asset in the OF puzzle…or if their own Rays existence is also under the microscope as possible trade fodder? It is almost as if I should think of 20 of the 25 names on the Rays roster not named Matt Moore, Jeremy Hellickson, Joel Peralta, Evan Longoria or Ben Zobrist are stapled to the Trop turf, but everyone else is up for discussion at some point. And now comes internal gossip the Rays might not have held onto Smith if they had signed him, but used him as more enticing bait for another morsel….How quickly the tides turn in Tampa Bay.
But that is what the Winter Hot Stove season is all about right? Making the waters boil and seeing who rises to the top of the pile and who settles to the bottom, possibly there until the late July Trade Deadline timetable. Early this Winter we had the Ivan Rodriguez, Josh Willingham, Carlos Beltran and finally an afterthought of a Anthony Rizzo acquisition spinning in our head's before the new year. Sometimes I wish I had a mouse with a lipstick camera or a house fly with a video feed to give me something tangible and substantial to write about before it hits the general airwaves.
I'm beginning to think we need to contact the modern Sherlock Holmes I saw on BBC the other night, he sees in that altered universe realm, and can be perfectly comfortable thinking 6-8 moves ahead of the rest of us mortals. For some reason I think a MI-6 License to Kill might be easier to obtain than a Rays trade whisper. Sure there are still cracks in the Rays armor, but it is in the field personnel and not on the front office lines. Questions abound around the infield now with the Rays inquest towards trying to secure Brooks Conrad and Ryan Theriot.
I had the notion to think it might be a slip up, a showing of their cards that possibly Sean Rodriguez is penciled in at Shortstop and Second in a platoon, and Zobrist again will carry at least 5 gloves to every Rays contest. I thought for a moment I might have cracked a hidden code, possibly being 1-move ahead of the pack with the Rays inquiring about Conrad and Theriot, but their talents were to be as bit players not starters in the proposed Maddon 2012 Tour. Foiled again just when I thought I had inched forward with something of substance again left with poached egg on my grill.
But one day. Ahhh, one day someone will crack the code, bring about the wheeling and dealing to the surface, not with the realm of full disclosure, but with hints, smatterings of intel and possibly make us all giddy again about what really lies behind the Rays Carolina Blue curtains. But I am left right now with the pure facts I will never be in the Rays circle of trust, never be an intricate part of the Rays always unfolding covet machine, finally realizing with crystal clear clarity my best guesses at trades are just those…guesses.
I guess I will have to be content that the powers that be that invisibly move within the 4th Floor sanctum is hard at work making the Rays a better oiled machine. A more precise instrument to take into the 182 battles that make up an MLB season. That I can sleep better at night knowing Friedman is out there somewhere already in work mode to answer those question we have not even asked yet. Still, the Ryan Madson rumors have me curious….I wonder if there is a motorized mouse online I can buy, or what time is it in London?
2011 is Almost in the Books, but What a Season to Remember.
Usually around this time of the year Tampa Bay Rays blogs begin to countdown their top moments of the season. It was a historic season by many aspects. The team posted their third trip in four seasons to the October party, but also we saw so many of the Rays post their own moments of wonder and amazement it has to have all of us giddy with emotion knowing there are less than 100 days before the fun all begins again for 2012.
We saw the emergence of "the Legend"( Sam Fuld), the formulation of the "Magic of Kotch" (Casey Kotchman) movement, and also saw the further maturation of the Rays top tier players David Price and Evan Longoria. We saw Sean Rodriguez move across the diamond to the 6-hole and show why he has always been a prized reward of the Scott Kazmir trade. Desmond Jennings came up and proved once and for all he is not a "Crawford"-clone, but has his own power, style and base-stealing magic.
Matt Joyce proved he had the stuff to hit left-handers, and Ben Zobrist again show the "Zorilla" style traits we all fell in love with during the 2008-2009 campaigns. From starters to Bullpen the Rays hurlers showed promise, unexpected magical moments and the durability of the staff graybeard as James Shields merited Cy Young consideration.
2011 was suppose to be a rebuilding season, but the only rebuilding the Rays did was on their reputation and solidarity to fixate on that post-season goal and drive towards it with vigor and vitality. This season will not go down in Rays history as the most productive on paper, but the 91 wins posted by this squad were 1 better than their rivals the Boston Red Sox and produced another champagne moment within Tropicana Field.
Rays Manager Joe Maddon instilled a "Find Another Way" mantra on his troops early this Spring and several players in the Rays fold responded by showing their abilities are on par with this league even if their MLB service clocks show minimal numbers. Jennings might have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt in 2011 he should be the heir apparent to the Rays lead-off hitter the Rays for 2012. Joyce finally got the at bats to prove he can be the Rays everyday right-fielder and run producer.
All five members of the Rays 2011 posted over 10+ victories with Shields leading the field with a 16-12 record. Not only did Shields lead his young Rays comrades in "W's", he also topped the squad in innings pitched (249.1 innings), strikeouts (225) and ERA (2.82 ). Filling in gaps within the season the Rays saw the promise of brilliance of Matt Moore, Alex Cobb and the late season relief pitching of Alex Torres.
Pitching definitely defined so many of these great Rays moments, but the bats did not remain silent during the carnage. We saw new closer Kyle Farnsworth struggle but post a career high with 25 saves, but we also saw the season toll takes it effect on one of the most intimidating players in the game. But the Rays Bullpen which featured 3 lefties for most of the season closed down offenses with RP Joel Peralta providing his own brand of set-up brilliance as well as posting 6 saves. From inning 1 to 9 this Rays team's pitching tried to set the tone and bring home a win on a nightly basis.
Who will forget that Home Run hit by Longo to seal the Rays post-season against the Yankees on the season's last day in extra frames about the same time ex-Rays LF Carl Crawford missed a dying quail in Baltimore to propel the Rays into the October party.
With that singled out win on the last day of the 2011 campaign, the Rays ended up posting their only winning September ever with a 16-10 record. It also secured the squad's third straight 90+ win season, How pale does that starting 1-8 record look now in retrospect as corks exploded within the Trop's confines and players and fans celebrated together.
Rookies earned their Rays letters this season at an alarming rate as Moore, Brandon Gomes,Torres, Jake McGee and Jeremy Hellickson combined to bring home 8 of those 16 September victories among them, further showing the promise and prosperity that should bring about more moments of celebration and excitement in 2012 for this talented 5-some. Each of these 5 hurlers definitely earned their Rays letterman's sweaters complete with a shaving cream pie.
But even with the emergence of the rookies, some of the Rays players saw their season as constant reminders of the ever-changing MLB environment. Pitchers J P Howell and Andy Sonnanstine began the 2012 Spring Training with high expectations and a want to show their abilities for this team. Sonny ended up in Triple-A Durham for most of the season, and Howell who came on later in the season never seemed to find the right groove or positive upward momentum. But that is the joy of the New Year, resolutions can be made, and the past is just that…past.
The 2011 season has long been put into the record books, but 2011 is slowing winding down towards it's last tick of the clock and should be remembered as a season of true fortitude, ever-present resilience and a combined team-wide confidence stemming from the veterans to rookies that this team could win on any given night.
But still if I had to pick a moment of clarity for the Rays, a scene that showed the drive, commitment and determination of this squad it was on the 180th day of the season, in the 12th inning Longoria proved once and for all he is the man to follow on this squad even before his 31st Home Run made human contact in the right field stands. So as we begin to enter the 15th season for the Rays, Sonny has found a new home with the Cubs, Maddon has darkened his hair a few shades.
Changes are still in store for this team before they cross the Port Charlotte, Florida threshold this Spring. Some players have solidified their spots on the roster while others have the Rays scouting and Coaching staff wearing out the erasers on their pencils trying to mesh and mold this squad to take that next step. Can't wait for that crystal ball to fall in NYC soon because that will symbolize that 2012 is squarely upon us, and the memories of 2011 are just that…fond and precious memories.
Thank You Just Doesn't Seem Enough
On the eve of the day all of us collectively gather together and pronounce our blessing and "thanks" for all the bounty and goodness life has exposed to us in our past year. Like so many other families around this Nation and Tampa Bay, my parents kept that honored tradition of everyone gathered at the table giving "thanks" a loud for the blessing and good things that had transpired over those last 365 days.
I loved those moments, but as the Rays begin to venture into their 15th year of baseball in the major leagues, I have some unfinished business. People and events that warrant not only a " shout out", but a significant remembrance or high-5 at this time we want to express ourselves. So, hang on, this list might be a long one.
THANK YOU to the relentless men of the original Tampa Bay Baseball group who shed tears, fought away drowsiness and endured their long path until we got our storied franchise.
THANK YOU to the cities of Seattle, Oakland, Chicago, San Francisco and even the Minneapolis/St Paul Minnesota community that were stepping-stones as the eventual Tampa Bay expansion franchise made it path through the MLB minefields. These MLB teams all brought bits and pieces of themselves to the table as the Rays fashioned their early patchwork franchise.
THANK YOU to our first owner Vince Namoli and his crew who fought the tides and battles early on in this franchise, and still do. Our Captain at the helm since 2007, Stuart Sternberg who has secured a new path, a new identity and a new reason to rejoice being a member of the Rays Republic crew.
THANK YOU to Wilson Alvarez for that first delivery to the plate on March 31, 1998. It completed the completed the mission and set into motion that events that are still unfolding, and will for a long, long time.
THANK YOU to players like Wade Boggs, Fred McGriff, Dwight Gooden, Johnny Damon, Matt Joyce, and St. Pete natives Casey Kotchman and Doug Waechter who came "home" to play in the Rays colors for Tampa Bay. Each of you have left footprints in the Rays historical sands that will stand the tests of time, and always be some of our fondest memories
THANK YOU to my friends within the Rays 4th Floor from BK to DJ Kitty's master. Each of your actions have brought together different scenarios and changes to the Rays experience from the concerts, promotional goodies to the foundations of fan-based gatherings like the "Maddon's Maniacs".
THANK YOU to the men who have assembled in the Rays Bullpen over the past 14 seasons who have sat, spat and even chattered with me on their journey's to and from the Rays "second Clubhouse" under the Rays Rightfield stands. From the gum-tossing and comedic activities of Andy Sonnanstine, to the Elvis-inspired guitar styling of Rusty Meacham, I am thankful for those moments.
THANK YOU to guys like Rays Clubhouse Manager Chris Westmoreland and his crew who let me see things behind-the scenes as their Pepsi vendor for years. Getting to see the Rays Clubhouse as it transformed, and even letting me take a piece of it home forever.
THANK YOU to the assembled hundreds who have graced the Rays roster sporting numbers from 1 (Joey Gathright, Akinori Iwamura, Miguel Cairo, Rey Sanchez, Antonio Perez, Sean Rodriguez) to 98 (Jae Seo) for your spent energies, blood and even heartaches as this franchise went through their growing pains and ultimate defeats and celebrations. I consider you all friends for life.
THANK YOU to the fans I have met, entertained and even fought verbally with our these years. Your opinions, insights and even diverse comments have molded these posts and even gave me more than a dozen reasons to question my own logic. From Jeff McKinney, Pat and Christine Manfredo to George, Charlie and the crew up in the 300's, if we could bottle your optimism and energy for this team, we could light up the Tampa Bay region indefinitely.
THANK YOU to the 2008 Rays team who let me grace a moment within a team photo etching myself permanently into the fabric of the greatest Rays team to date. Still hard to imagine that the Rays, in their rookie attempt in the post season fought so hard and valiantly had an element like rain play such a critical role in their first World Series.
THANK YOU to the Rays scout and player development people like Mitch Lukevics, RJ Harrison who have been linchpin in the development of so many of the Rays past, present and future stars. Their devotion and work ethic knows no bounds, and their tireless emphasis on quality has made the Rays farm system a model of player development efficiency.
HANK YOU to the people of Tampa Bay no matter if you are a long-time Season Ticket holder or someone who graces the stands only a handful of games a season. Your support is needed and appreciated from those among you in the stands, on the field and assisting you with your baseball experience. The lifeblood of this team is the interaction and reaction of the community, and our return to future games.
Giving "thanks" at this time of the year for things outside of Tropicana Field are also very important. So my last THANK YOU has to go out to Rays Manager Joe Maddon and his cooking crew of Rays Coaches, Rays staff and employees who have yearly venture out into the Tampa Bay region for Maddon's annual "Thanks-Mas" celebration.
But I would be remiss if I did not make one more "THANK YOU". I have to also make a huge and humble shout out to you, the readers of this blog. Since our change over in May 2011, so many of you have stayed the course and returned while others have gone away or have not returned. I "THANK" each and every one of you reading this right now for your support, your time and your comments that have made my writing better since 2007.
But then again, you can never hear the words "Thank You" enough these days.
If You Don't Believe Now, Better Check Your Pulse
Words would just ruin the moment. Here is a photo essay of complied photos from the great AP photographers Mike Carlson / Chris O'Meara and Getty Images Photog J. Meric on the field and deep within the bowels of Tropicana Field tonight. .
Last, but not least, the Home Run trot that began the celebration!

Fantastic production - from the sets, costumes, script, tech and acting - the entire production was top notch! A beautifully woven and textured experience of both Holmes and the Carole. Sir Arthur and Dickens would both be so very pleased.

U.S. Senator Wayne Allard will meet with the Mexican Ambassador to the United States to discuss the extradition of a suspected Denver cop killer. The meeting will take place Monday In Washington, D.C.. The republican senator from Colorado is scheduled to meet with Carlos De Icaza concerning 19-year-old Raul Garcia-Gomez. He's awaiting extradition to Denver where the District Attorney has agreed to charge him with second-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Mexico will not allow extradition if the penalty for a crime is death or life imprisonment. In a statement released Sunday Allard said "justice can only be served if this individual stands trial in Colorado," he says "I'm optimistic that the ambassador will understand the gravity of this case and intervene with his government." Meanwhile, the autopsy on Detective Donald Young, the officer Gomez-Garcia is accused of killing, is complete. It shows Young was shot three times, once in the head and twice in the left side of his body. Young and another officer John Bishop were in uniform providing security for a private party in Denver when both were shot at in the early morning hours on May 8th. Bishop survived the shooting.

Great Caesar! Dressing recipes needed...
- QueenB Aug 16, 2007 09:50 AM
Chicken Caesar Salad on the menu for tonight's dinner, with temperatures over 100 degrees and a hurricane on the way.
I've tried Bittman's recipe for the Caesar dressing and found it bland and booooring. I'm looking for a creamy recipe with a garlic kick.
Anyone have any recipes like that?
re: chocabot
i second martha's - that's the one i always use and always get raves on. in order to get it nice and creamy, i throw all of the ingredients into the blender and whir it all up until it's nice and emulsified.
by the way, you should check out michael ruhlman's rant on the chicken caesar: http://blog.ruhlman.com/ruhlmancom/20...
i can't say i disagree with him, but i think the reason most restaurant chicken caesars are crap is because they're made with a prepackaged dressing. i usually make caesar at home, and i do sometimes add grilled chicken (don't tell ruhlman!)
re: chef chicklet
CC, I'll take your recipe. I'm more interested in a punch of great flavor than the "creaminess"
re: QueenB
I think it is great, but you take a looksy. It is so old, I don't know where I got it, but my kids beg for this one and my blue cheese. It is enough for 1 average head of romaine- make sure there is no water left in it from cleaning.
1 egg
3 T white wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
tobasco - to your liking - shakes 3 or so
Worcestershire sauce -same - shakes 3 to 4
white pepper to taste - 1/8tsp
dry mustard - 1T
3 T grated Parmesan
anchovies - whatever your tastes I love them! so I'll add 2 sometimes 3
1 large clove garlic -mashed well with salt and oil, with a blade then add to the bowl
In the bottom of a wooden bowl mash the anchovies with the garlic clove
add all the ingredients, and mix well. then add the egg and whisk while you drizzle the oil in slowly. add to your extremely crispy clean romaine toss and serve. Fresh black pepper and sea salt to the salad. Adding croutons homemade are best!
Don't forget take the veggie peeler out and peel some cheese to the top.
For a light dinner I serve this and top the salad with grilled chicken, steak or salmon.
re: chef chicklet
i used to use a recipe very similar to this one, but then modified it to omit the raw egg as a friend had real issues with it. now i use dijon mustard in place of dry mustard and adjust the quantities of oil and vinegar to taste and to even out the consistency of the mixture. i get lots of compliments on the salad now, so i doubt i'll ever switch back to the raw egg.
re: auberginegal
raw egg doesn't bother me at all. I love this recipe but always looking for other things. I would create a war around here if I were to change this, and I make these dressings every week. My kids while growing up wanted their salad after school and there had better be homemade dressings.
re: auberginegal
Another option for an egg-free Caesar dressing is the tofu version from Alton Brown. It's not a true Caesar dressing, but it's really tasty. And you can cut way back on the oil (add some fresh-squeezed lemon juice instead) for a very low fat dressing.
re: auberginegal
Barefoot Contessa says that you can also use a Tablespoon of mayonaisse in place of the egg...
My caesar salad dressing which has gotten rave reviews from many people:
1 garlic clove (or 2 or 3 depending how much you love garlic)
1 egg
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 cup salad oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Put first 5 ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth, slowly adding oil. Chill about 2 hours.
When ready to serve, add parmesan cheese to salad. Delicous!!!
re: du jour
This is a great recipe. I was trying to figure out what was missing when I read it and realized it was anchovies; then realized I myself was out of anchovies while making caesar. I added a bit more Worcestershire and 1/3 less oil to accommodate my tastes and whipped it up in the blender.....it come out wonderfully.
1. Wash a head of Romaine lettuce, dry the leaves, and break or cut them into salad-size pieces. Set the lettuce aside.
2. With a rotary-bladed paring knife (aka a vegetable peeler), slice thin pieces of Reggiano Parmagiano cheese -- as much as you think will be good for a big Caesar salad. Set the cheese aside.
3. Make as many croutons as you think will be good for a big Caesar salad, or find a bag or box of them in the pantry. Set them aside.
4. Boil an egg for one minute. Set it aside.
5. Mince 2 anchovy filets. Set them aside.
6. Put a little salt in a wooden salad bowl.
7. Peel a large clove of garlic, cut it in half lengthwise, and rub the inside of the salad bowl (and the salt) HARD with the cut sides of the garlic clove. The idea is to infuse the inside of the bowl with a garlic scent/flavor.
8. Remove the 2 pieces of the garlic clove from the bowl, mince them finely, and return them to the bowl.
9. Add to the bowl a teaspoon of dry mustard, a tablespoon of lemon juice, a few squirts of Tabasco, and the mixed anchovies. Whisk them together.
10. Start adding extra virgin olive oil SLOWLY, whisking constantly. the mixture will emulsify (and if it doesn't SLOW DOWN on the olive oil). You'll use maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil total.
11. Add the egg, including the part of the white that set against the inside of the shell during the minute that it cooked. Whisk some more; the egg will emulsify into the mixture and it will get pretty creamy.
12. Taste it and add more oil, salt, or Tabasco if you find it needs any of them.
13. Add the lettuce to the bowl and toss it until all the pieces have dressing on them.
14. Sprinkle the croutons and Parmesan pieces on top.
15. Eat that sucker!
Queen, here is a link to a past discussion on caesar salad. I use a recipe very close to corabeth's (at the bottom of the thread) which is pretty classic. I like to use a garlic press as I think it gives a stronger garlic flavor. Although, I don't really fear raw egg yolk, I do drop the egg into a glass measuring cup of really hot water for a minute or two.
Martha Stewart's recipe is also pretty good.
At least the heat here is supposed to ease up over the next few days - 97 today and 92 to 95 for the next few....
My friends makes a great dressing out of powdered ranch dressing mix combined with balsamic and olive oil. You get the great flavor of ranch with the sweet-tartness of balsamic. Not only is it simple, it's delicious.
I like this old one from Bon Appetit - Caesar Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing
I like David Rosengarten's from the Dean & DeLuca cookbook, especially with the addition of a shot a green Tabasco sauce.
I make a recipe I found on Epicurious. People rave about it...even those who claim to hate anchovies.
Couple cloves garlic
lemon juice
salt and pepper
ground dry mustard
anchovies (paste works too)
little bit of worcestershire sauce
olive oil
romaine lettuce (spines removed)
egg yolk
parmessan cheese
croutons (best if you make them yourself - very easy to do - just oil up some bread cubes, dry them oil in the oven, and lightly season them)
Rub bowl with garlic, and add salt and pepper. Add in lemon juice and mustard, and mix well. Add in anchovies and worcestershire, and mash them up real good on the side of the bowl with the back of your spoon. Add in oil and whisk the hell out of it until it emulsifies. Add in the lettuce and the egg yolk and toss the hell out of it (make sure egg and dressing are well distributed). Add in the cheese and croutons and toss again.
Going from memory here... Don't think I left anything out. A little Tabasco doesn't hurt either.
Too late but ..tip....white spanish anchovies! I find that most Caesar Salad Dressings skimp on the anchovies!!! Leave some whole on the salad.
