Where is the life I lead, the life I ate? Green Goddess dressing

In the 1950's, one of my favorite ( still is) was the Green Goddess dressing.



The origins are a bit of a mystery - It may have been invented at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco during the 1920'as or whipped up in the court of Louis XIII in France - but it has endured ( at least in the Lewis history) as one of the most delectable concoctions to put on salads.

I think the truest story is that it was invented by chef Philip Roemer  in 1923 to honor the actor, George Arliss, who stayed at the hotel ( San Francisco) while performing in the William Archer hit play "The Green Goddess".

The secret of this fabulous dressing is of course  Anchovies...

Oh! how I miss seeing that dressing on menu's today..

The little pleasures of the Bow Tie, BUT...

To wear a bow Tie is something I have done for most of my life and has given me great pleasure.
I love bow ties in its many hues and colors and patterns. Ir has been and remains a great source of aesthetic pleasure. 
BUT, sporting a  bow tie and a pocket square in the same pattern is something that I don't (and anyone into men's fashion would agree) one does not approve!!!

Very, very non-upper!
