very tasty-by the way, did anyone notice that the voice changes part way in "making crutons"?

I made this last night substituting American leaf lettuce (couldn't find frisee anywhere in Calgary). It turned out well. My fiancee, who doesn't like eggs and enjoys egg yolks even less, to my surprise enjoyed it so much she ate the poached egg first, gobbeling up the yolk with the salad dressing and croutons.

This is a perfect meal in a dish, with lots of protien vegetables and dijon-y goodness. I will definitely make this again.

The combination of flavors and textures in this salad satisfies in every way. It's perfect for supper. My husband eyed askance at the frisee at first but was lured in by the bacon and never looked back. He wants it for dinner next week. I made the vinaigrette in the pan I cooked the bacon in so it would be warm when tossed over the frisee - delish.
