Arrange romaine lettuce on plate.  Arrange each ingredient (other than
the bacon/bacos) in its own separate area on the romaine lettuce,

Blue Cheese Dressing

(Seriously, this is so easy there is No Good Reason to eat that
horrible stuff that comes pre-made out of a bottle.)


sour cream
mayonaise
milk
mild blue cheese (wisconsin gorganzola is good)
salt and pepper to taste

the sour cream and mayo are the base of the dressing, combine the rest
of the ingredients to your desired thickness and cheesiness.  

Note: the blue cheese dressing can be made very low fat by using
low fat sour cream, vegan mayo and skim milk.  that's how i make it,
actually, and it's delicious!
