Historic recipe served at Nerd Night April 16th

Here's the recipe that we used during Nerd Night! Famous Faucon's salad dressing. In the 1920s it was rumored that someone offered the owner of the restaurant $5000 for his salad dressing recipe. This is a copycat recipe from the 1950s I found. 2 cloves of garlic chopped fine 2 teaspoons of dry mustard a dash of red pepper a pinch of salt 1 cup salad oil 6 tablespoons of vinegar 6 tablespoons of lemon juice 1 to 2 hard boiled eggs chopped fine 10 ounces of blue cheese or Roquefort cheese break the cheese apart. put all ingredients in a jar. mix thoroughly. serve on green salad

Polyjuice Potion

Serves 1

We used a green juice from Blueprint, but you can make your own if you have a juicer or pick up a cup from your favorite juice shop. It should include some citrus and at least one fruit, like apple or pineapple, for sweetness. The Chartreuse liqueur adds an interesting herbal note, but you can skip if you’d rather (it’s expensive). 1.5 oz gin 1.5 oz fresh-pressed or bottled green juice 1 oz green Chartreuse ½ oz lime juice 7-Up or Sprite (optional)

Shake gin, juices, and Chartreuse in a shaker with ice. Strain into a glass (you can serve up or over ice) and top with a splash of soda if you’d like it a little lighter.
