The Ides of March is almost here, which brings with it a history lesson about Julius Caesar, who was warned about going to the senate and who earlier in his career famously said, “Veni, Vidi, Vici” (meaning: “I came, I saw, I conquered”).
Today, Chef Swanky delves into the history of another Caesar, who takes us from “Veni, Vidi, Vici” to “Veni, Vidi, Edi” (“I came, I saw, I ate”) with this video:
And remember: Stay away from the Senate. No, not those of you in Congress. You congresspersons need to get your butts to work. The rest of us: Go find a restaurant that has a good caesar salad and enjoy!

March is here. Lion and lamb brace against buffeting winds: the luck of St. Patrick, knives out at the ides, spring arrives. Enjoy the ride, everyone.
