I think I need to give the Julia Child thing a rest this weekend, so something fairly simple: Salmon Caesar Salad:

Caesar Salad Components

• Romaine Lettuce, usually just the hearts. The romaine can be chopped, but was traditionally left whole and eaten with the fingers instead of utensils.
• Garlic Croutons: Don’t over think this one. Croutons are nothing more than toasted bread, in this case tossed with crushed garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper after being toasted. My favorite way to toast croutons is to fry them in oil, but you can also bake, pan fry or toast in a toaster oven.
• Anchovy Fillets (Optional): Not a part of the traditional Caesar salad but is now a common component in modern versions. I like to personally use whole, white anchovy fillets called Boquerones.
• Grated Parmesan Cheese: This can really be any hard, aged cheese that you desire. Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged Asiago, and Pecorino Romano are all good choices.

You want a football hottie? I gots your football hottie:

Amy [Taylor] was a soccer player with the Australian national team, and she played on the United States [sic] professionally as well. Back in 2000 she posed for a nude calendar with her team mates. Too bad we could not include the whole team here!

Sam Seder, yesterday:

We’re trying to figure out a way back to London so as to embark on a tour of the great houses.  That includes Hardwick Hall – Elizabeth Cavendish (aka Bess of Hardwick) outlived four husbands (and Elizabeth I by 5 years), then built her masterpiece. She was the Frank Lloyd Wright of her day (look at all the damn glass … in 1582!):
