Caesar Salad

2 heads romaine lettuce
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 cup olive oil
4 slices stale French bread
Dash cayenne pepper
Dash Tabasco sauce
1/2 t. sugar
6 anchovy fillets, diced and mashed
1 t. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 t. salt
1 egg
Juice of 1 large lemon, about 3 T.
3/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
The night before:

1. Tear off leaves from the lettuce. Wash well, dry thoroughly;
don't bruise. Chill in refrigerator.

2. Crush the garlic clove, peeled. Let stand overnight in the cup of
olive oil. Chill in refrigerator.

That day:
3. Strain the olive oil to remove the garlic clove. Trim crusts
from the French bread. Cut into cubes and brown in 1/4 cup of the
olive oil. Drain on paper towels.

4. In a jar, add to the remaining garlic-flavored olive oil the
cayenne, Tabasco sugar and the anchovies.

5. Break chilled romaine leaves in pieces and place in large bowl.

6. Sprinkle with pepper and salt.

7. Pour on the olive oil and mix thoroughly, so every leaf is shiny.

8. Boil the egg 1 minute. Remove, crack shell, drop into salad.

9. Squeeze the lemon juice over the egg and stir gently into salad.

10. Just before serving, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the salad
cheese and add the croutons.

Serve with hot garlic bread.
