Insalate Cesare di Lidia
Notes: The antipasto for the evening was a white bean soup with fennel. We requested (and they kindly obliged) to swap a Caesar salad for us, instead. I've had this salad. It's great. The dressing (on the side) is not traditional - it's more vinegar and oil than gloppy and thick.
Lidia's Monday night "Tuscan Grill" is an incomparable steal.
For $35, each diner gets a set antipasto, an bottomless sampling of all three of the daily pastas, a choice of a main course (usually from a list of three or four - this time it was either steak, whole fish, or rack of lamb), a plate of assorted biscotti, two glasses of wine, and a glass of grappa. Beat that.
The standard "Caesar salad" legend credits the creation of the recipe to an Italian immigrant, Caesar Cardini, who operated a restaurant (or hotel and restaurant in some versions) in Tijuana. According to the canonical version, told by Caesar's daughter Rosa, he tossed the first Caesar's salad on the evening of July 4, 1924. The most detail I've been able to find on the supposed background of Caesar Cardini is in articles in the "Tulsa World" (July 9, 1997) by Rik Espinosa (whom I've also spoken to by phone), in "The Santa Fe New Mexican" (May 28, 1997) by Alan C. Taylor, and in the "Chicago Tribune" (July 23, 1987) by Peter Kump.
Caesar was born near Lago Maggiore, Italy, in 1896; he and his brother Alex emigrated to the U.S. after World War I. The Cardini's lived in San Diego but operated a restaurant in Tijuana to circumvent Prohibition. The canonical version claims that the restaurant was frequented by Hollywood stars such as Clarke Gable, Jean Harlow, and W.C. Fields; if this was ever the case, it isn't relevant to 1924, when Gable was a young unknown, Fields was still in vaudeville, and Jean Harlow was 13 years old.
The only person who actually claims to have dined at the restaurant is Julia Child, who, according to Paul Kump, said she was brought there by her parents and ate the salad at its source. After the repeal of Prohibition (1934) and the outlawing of casino gambling in Mexico (1935), the Cardini's sold the Tijuana restaurant and moved to the Los Angeles area. The restaurant still exists in Tijuana, though it has changed location a number of times.
In L.A. , the Cardini's are supposed to have sold a homemade version of their salad dressing from a store. In 1948, Caesar and Rosa began to commercially bottle the dressing, though because "Caesar salad" was in the public domain--which suggests it was pretty well-known--they could trademark only "Original Caesar's" and "Cardini". Rik Espinosa reports "Rosa told me that in 1953, the Paris-based International Society of Epicures called the Caesar's Salad [sic] the 'greatest recipe to originate from the America's in 50 years.'" (Allan C. Taylor gives as a source for the same information a public relations firm for the dressing manufacturer.) Caesar Cardini died in 1956.
There are also a number of non-canonical versions of the Cardini legend: according to Rik Espinosa, Paul Maggiora, a partner of the Cardini's, claimed to have tossed the first Caesar's salad in 1927 for American airmen from San Diego and called it "Aviator's Salad." (Maggiore and the two Cardini's were all veterans of the Italian air force during the war.) Paul Kump claims that Diana Kennedy (an oft-quoted authority on Mexican cooking) had met Alex Cardini in Mexico City before Alex's death in 1975, and that Alex claimed to have developed the salad (he too allegedly called it "aviator's salad"). (For those interested in the culinary details, Alex's version included anchovies, but that was not the way Caesar made it--in the canonical telling he got the fishy tang only from Worcestershire sauce.) Neal Matthews ("San Diego Union-Tribune", March 2, 1995) quotes one Livio Santini, an elderly resident of Tijuana, who claims he made the salad, from a recipe of his mother, in the kitchen of Caesar's restaurant when he was 18 years old, in 1925, and that Caesar took the recipe from him.
A totally heterodox origin for "Caesar salad" appears in the 3rd edition of "Webster's New World": "so named in honor of (Gaius) Julius Caesar by Giacomo Junia, Italian-American chef in Chicago, who invented it c. 1903." Journalists only bring this etymology up to heap scorn on it (demonstrating by the way their complete incomprehension of the meaning of "Webster" in dictionary titles.) Is anybody out there in Cleveland on ADS-L? Where did this etymology come from?
The documentation of the collocation "Caesar salad"/"Caesar's salad" is thin. The first cite Merriam has is from the "Britannica Book of the Year, 1950", from the article "Fads of 1949": "In foods, fads were limited. Caesar salad was in vogue through the summer and fall, and slot-machine hot dogs still prevailed in the larger cities" (pp. 273-74). There have to be earlier cites out there, even if only from 1949, when the salad was supposedly popular (suggesting it had been regional until then?).
The "Tulsa World" article includes an illustration from an old postcard of the Cardini restaurant in Tijuana; I'm hoping to get a copy of the postcard from Rik Espinosa, who owns the original. This would at least document, to my personal satisfaction, the existence of the restaurant at one of its locations. (Espinosa, who grew up in southern California, and whose grandparents owned a hotel in Tijuana two blocks from the legendary restaurant, is a font of knowledge on Caesar salad lore and the Cardini's, not to mention Tijuana.)

After chatting to fellow passenger at bus stop (in rather broken German with lots of smiles and some hand waving) we boarded the free bus at Krippen.
This took us nearly all the way to Schmilka and went round lots of back ways, which was fun as it gave us chance to have a nose.
We even got chance to practice German again as the bus filled and some fellow walkers asked a question - this time we were rescued by a German speaker coming to their aide as we had to confess we didn't follow the question.
But it was nice to be in an area where we needed to get by without resorting to the expectation that there would be someone who could speak English.

This is the 'Ara Di Cesare' at the ruins of the Temple of Caesar, or Temple of the Divine Julius (Tempio del Divo Giulio).
Caeser's temple stands on the east side of the main square of the Roman Forum, near the Regia, the office of the Pontifex Maximus (High Priest of the Roman state religion), a position that Julius Caesar had once held.
A modern roof provides protection to the altar that marks the site of Caesar's cremation after his assassination. A temple was built around the altar after his deification.

Not the most distinct of summits - guided by Ken's GPS :-)

This one isn't on Hill Bagging which is what Nicky recorded her summits on - yesterday there was one extra, today Nicky only recorded three of our six summits on the hill bagging site, Summits can be very much a matter of opinion.
Fall is known for falling leaves, and Caesar has invented a new sport that's ideal for autumn. He calls it Sky Surfing. But he's getting tired of climbing a tall tree each time he wants to pick out leaf to ride.
We had PF Changs takeout for dinner. You know what that means... lettuce wraps, mmm-mmm.
Hey JT, you look like Caesar. Caesar salad!!
C'mon, lettuce go get a bath. :-)
One of Las Vegas' largest hotel/casino complexes and most recognised landmarks, Caesars Palace has a Roman theme.
The complex contains many statues, columns and iconography typical of Hollywood Roman period productions, including a 20-foot (6.1 m) statue of Julius Caesar near the entrance. Caesars Palace is now owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment. As of July 2016, the hotel has 3,976 rooms and suites in six towers and a convention facility of over 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2).
The hotel has a large range of restaurants, including several serving authentic Chinese cuisine to cater to wealthy East Asian gamblers. From the outset, Caesars Palace has been oriented towards attracting high rollers. The modern casino facilities include table games such as blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, Spanish 21, mini-baccarat, Pai Gow and Pai Gow poker; a 4,500-square-foot (420 m2) 24-hour poker room; and a large number of slot machines and video poker machines. The complex has been expanded many times over the years.
From 1981 to 1984, the complex also hosted 2 Formula 1 and two CART races. The former circuit is long gone and one would never know it was even there.
Sir Julius Caesar (1557/1558 – 18 April 1636) was an English judge and politician. He was born near Tottenham in Middlesex. His father was Giulio Cesare Adelmare, an Italian physician to Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, descended by the female line from the dukes of Cesarini.
He was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, and afterwards studied at the University of Paris, where in the year 1581 he was made a doctor of civil law. Two years later he was awarded a similar degree at Oxford, and became doctor of the canon law. He represented Reigate, Bletchingley and Windsor in Parliament. He held many high offices during the reigns of Elizabeth and James I, including a judgeship of the admiralty court (1584), a mastership in chancery (1588), treasurer of the Inner Temple in 1593 and a mastership of the court of requests (1595).
He was knighted at Greenwich by King James in May of 1603, and became Chancellor and Under Treasurer of the Exchequer 1606–1614. In 1614 he was appointed Master of the Rolls, an office which he held till his death in 1636. His manuscripts, many of which are now in the British Museum, were sold by auction in 1757 for a sum of around £500.
His eldest son (also Julius Caesar) was sent to Padua to study at the university. He was wounded whilst fencing with Antonia Brochetta and sought revenge. He lay in wait for him with a pistol, but his shot missed. He then fell while attempting to draw his sword and was set upon by Brochetta who ran him through and killed him.
Travel Memories 34 of 365.
Shortly before I relocated from Greenville, South Carolina to St. Louis, I made a last trip up into the Blue Ridge Mountains to Caesars Head State Park.. I spent some time there enjoying the view, wondering when I would see it again--never imagining it would be more than 14 years (and still counting).
The photograph was made with my Casio QV-10 Camera. I cropped it square in gimp.
