The Return of Gadgetman

OK, this will most likely be the wussiest entry ever under the category of "The Adventures of Gadgetman". Rest assured though, this gadget is worthy of inclusion here - the vinaigrette whisk.



Huh? Has he lost his mind? Who are you and what have you done with Bruce?

Heh. I'll do you one better. Here's a great salad dressing you can make in just seconds. Trust me, you have a young lady over for dinner and the fact that you're cooking for her might only guarantee you a trip to second base. You introduce homemade dijon vinaigrette and you've just sealed the deal, my friend. And stirring it with a fork, just won't...uh...cut the mustard.

In a bowl, combine a dollop of Dijon mustard and a couple splashes of red wine vinegar.

Whisk together with - yes, you guessed it - the vinaigrette whisk. Add salt and fresh, finely ground pepper to taste. Then add extra virgin olive oil in double the amount of mustard/vinegar in the bowl.

Whisk again.

Done.


There you have it. And, oh yeah, iceberg lettuce sucks.

Now, if you all behave yourself, I'll share my recipe for Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies with you in time for Christmas.
