              For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure. — Sir Arthur Eddington

                        ensalada caesar (caesar salad)

                        Posted by admin on 3rd March 2010

                        ensalada caesar (caesar salad)

                        ensalada caesar (caesar salad)

                        Ensalada Caesar (Caesar Salad)

                        This is truly a Southwestern salad. It was developed in Tijuana in the 1920s. It was created by an Italian chef for Americans who flocked into Mexico to escape Prohibition.

                        1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
                        4 garlic cloves
                        1 1/2 cups day-old French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
                        1 egg, unshelled
                        2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
                        1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
                        Salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
                        3 small heads romaine, stripped of less crisp outer leaves
                        1/4 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese

                        Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

                        In a heavy ovenproof skillet, warm 1/4 cup of the oil over medium heat. Sliver 1 garlic cloves, add it to the oil, and saut? about 1 minute. Stir in the bread cubes, tossing them to coat well with the oil. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the bread cubes for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp.

                        In a small saucepan, bring 2 to 3 inches of water to boil. Slip the egg into the water and boil for exactly 1 minute. When broken the egg will still be runny. Or you can completely hardboil it and use the mashed yolk in the dressing.

                        In a blender, pur?e the remaining garlic with the remaining oil and pour the mixture through a strainer into a large bowl. Add the egg to the oil and, with a fork, blend in the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Add romaine leaves, all laying the same direction in the bowl. Toss the romaine gently with the dressing. Scatter the cheese over the salad, and serve immediately.

                        Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too. — Richard M. Nixon
