WHAT'S FOR DINNER TONIGHT?

Fries with no salt?  Well, all I can say is you get used to it.  Kinda.
Fortunately, I have never been much on salting any food, so fries and hash browns without salt is no big deal.
Actually, I prefer blue cheese dressing, but the 1,000 island is easier to make.  Once in a while, I do break down and buy a bottle of Light House chunky blue cheese, usually if someone who I know likes it is coming over for dinner.

On my way! as far as I'm concerned BC is it's own food group, kind of like Laura thinks that way about Ivars tartar sauce!

a homemade dressing of mayonnaise and ketchup and garlic powder.

Now that kicked in memories of mess cooking on board ship, w-a-y back in the dim recesses of the past!  I was the spud locker guy, and part of my duties were to make salads and salad dressings.  The "French" dressing was the canned salad dressing, a.k.a. mayonnaise mixed with an equal part of ketchup.  No garlic powder, though.  Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Actually, my dressing (really stolen from my grandmother) is about 3/4 mayo and 1/4 ketchup.  But, I'm Italian and for recipes like this, I don't measure.  I taste and adjust accordingly.

Cooked up my rendition of taco salad last night for dinner.
10 oz 85/15 hamburger.
1 sm can tomato sauce
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chile powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 bag salad mix
1 yellow onion
3 large white mushrooms
olive oil
10 or 12 grape tomatoes
2 tbsp mayonnaise
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Slice mushrooms and onion and saute in olive oil
brown hamburger with garlic powder and Worcestershire Sauce
mix in mayonnaise and blend in completely
In a large bowl add salad mix
Mix thoroughly with the  mushrooms and onion and hamburger
garnish with sliced tomatoes and cheddar cheese

Usually I use medium Picante Sauce, but mine had sat in the refrigerator toooooooooo long and I did not feel like I wanted to try it.  So, tomato sauce, cumin and chili powder.  It worked OK but Picante Sauce is better.  Normally, I would also add tortilla chips, but I didn't have any on hand.  Probably would use a generous handful of them and crush half to mix in and reserve the other half to eat with the salad.
Buen provecho
