#TastyTuesday


In the summertime I love salads. And I love tasty dressings on those salads. So today let's talk tasty dressings. I confess, I'm lazy. I could make my own tasty dressings from scratch but well, as already confessed, I'm lazy.

But I'm going to ditch my laziness and try to make some dressings from scratch.
There's always the classic Ranch.  Good for veggie dipping, french fry dipping, and salads too!
Lemon Vinaigrette This one makes my mouth water just by reading the name of it.
Blue Cheese Dressing  Blue Cheese is a favorite of mine, yuuuuuummmmmmmm.
Honey Mustard Dressing/Vinaigrette Honey Mustard is a favorite of mine for chicken sandwiches/nuggets/tenders and I even like to dip my fries in it too! Well, and of course salad. *grin*

Do you have a favorite dressing? If so, have you ever made it from scratch? I found this list of the 10 essential salad dressings Kitchn says we all should have. What do you think about the ones listed? Are there any you haven't tried? Maybe today you can choose one to tempt your taste buds with!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
