Today for lunch I'm having a Caesar Salad with sun dried tomatoes and olives. Once again, hats off to Caesar for creating such a great salad. Maybe I should say hail Caesar. Not a lot of people know this, but many historical conquerors were great chefs. The great Chinese General Tso made a wonderful tangy orange chicken. Napoleon made delicious little pastries. General Patton was a genus with crepes. Attila The Hun used to make really tasty smores and once claimed that if he hadn't been so busy pillaging, he would have opened up his own hot dog stand. Alexander the Great was known as Alexander the Pretty Good until he started making quiches that were to die for.
The key is that these men conquered their food. Caesar would sneak up on a salad just before dawn and just as the sun's rays started to peak over the mountains, he would send in legions of anchovies and croutons covered in dressing. The salad was tossed before it knew what hit it. Men of peace... Not so good at cooking. Why do you think Ghandi was always so skinny?
Enjoy conquering your lunch

Hola Ellen. Your lunch looks delish. I am also a fan of salads. We should start a club. My name isn't Joe Kingman by the way so lets pretend that I'm anonamous. Joe Kingman is really Dwayne "the rock" Johnson. I'm not him. In any way. Shape or form. If you e-mail me or somehow allow me to know that you would like to hold a thriving conversation, I volunteer.
Thanks,
not Joe Kingman.
