Our Favorite Bleu Cheese Salad Dressing

This recipe came from one of my favorite restaurants in Longview, WA...Henri's. It is no longer in business but its salad dressing lives on! I was given recipes when I worked there. (Or, maybe they were a close copy of the recipe. I can't imagine actually recieving the real ones.) Anyway, I love this version of bleu cheese salad dressing!

"Saying Grace" by Norman Rockwell

This painting was created for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post’s 1951 Thanksgiving issue. It portrays a woman and a young boy saying grace in a crowded restaurant while the people around them glance in their direction. Rockwell was inspired to create this artwork by a reader of the magazine who saw a Mennonite family praying in a restaurant.

In 1955, the readers of The Saturday Evening Post voted Saying Grace as their favorite ever cover. The painting was sold for $46 million in an auction at Sotheby’s in December 2013. At that time, it set the record for the most expensive American painting ever sold at auction. The $46 million paid for Saying Grace remains the highest known price paid for a Norman Rockwell artwork.
