National Caesar Day!!

Hello, Everyone!

Yesterday was National Caesar Day in Canada! (…. the drink. Not the salad) in 2009, the Caesar was officially declared Canada’s National Cocktail by Parliament. So, how could I NOT celebrate?? And, what more Canadian way to celebrate than a garage party with a Caesar recipe concocted by one of my country’s most beloved icons, DAN AYKROYD!

I found this recipe in my local newspaper, but I’ll link it to the same article which I found online in The Chronicle Herald
