  1. This restaurant was on Newbury Street and since I worked on Boylston I went there at least twice a week for lunch. They gave me the recipe back in the 70s and I've been using it ever since. In fact, there is a bowl of it in my fridge right now. Best ever. BTW, since I rarely have orange juice in the house I omit it and it really doesn't make much of a difference.
     
  2. I halved the ingredients and really enjoyed this over greens. Thanks Alan! Made for cookbook tag.
     
  3. Excellent tasting salad dressing (if you enjoy sweet dressings, I do). Follow the instructions for blending the ingredients. I didn't and it was impossible to do. Ground paprika just doesn't mix well with honey.

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
