My family has always been all about food. My grandfather Edward Ptacek Sr. was a huge influence with me and my culinary devotion. He is the one that got my mom going and in turn me from her. He cooked for a huge family, and put his heart and soul into it. I was at the store with my cousin the other day and we were craving some of Papa's dressing. This is nothing fancy, but I have adjusted it a little from his original. Every time I taste it I get taken back to the house on Marshfield, sitting at the table, making sure my elbows did not touch the table and sharing a meal with my grandparents. He would pull this dressing out of the fridge in a huge mason jar that had garlic cloves suspended in it.... Sorry I started drooling. Anyway here you are.
