UNIVERSALLY USEFUL BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• I promised a trio of sauces, but I just had to get this in under the wire. If you like blue cheese - as I, swooningly, do - then know that this, dribbled over sliced, sweet tomatoes along with a torn-off log of baguette is a perfect enough supper just as it is. And you can make a fabulously retro steakhouse-style starter, by cutting a head of iceberg lettuce into wedges and dribbling each crunchy wedge with this plus, perhaps, a scattering of crisp-fried bacon crumbles. And it makes a fabulous dressing to dribble over leftover rare roast beef.
• Put the crumbled cheese into a bowl, add the Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, buttermilk, milk and the vinegar and mix gently until well combined. Thin if necessary with a little iced water. Chill until needed.
• Make Ahead Note: The dressing will keep for 3 to 4 days in covered container in fridge - store in cold part of fridge rather than in the door.

BLUE CHEESE SURPRISE

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a medium bowl, mix together beef, tarragon, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Form mixture into twelve 3/8 inch thick patties. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over one patty, and cover with a second patty. Seal the edges. Repeat with remaining ingredients..
• Lightly oil grate, and arrange burgers on the grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until done.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Slice the top third (stem side) off each tomato. Cut a small slice off each bottom so that the tomatoes are flat and able to stand up. Using a melon baller or small spoon, remove the inside of each tomato to hollow out the center. Place the tomatoes on a plate or platter. Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Mash the cream cheese in a bowl with a rubber spatula until it is soft and malleable. Gently fold in the blue cheese, being careful not to overmix and break the blue clumps. Season with pepper. Use two small spoons to fill the tomatoes with the blue cheese mixture. (How much will depend on the size of the tomato; small tomatoes should get about 1 teaspoon of the mixture. You can also transfer the mixture to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag with the corner cut off and pipe the cheese mixture into each tomato.)
• Toss the chives and bacon together in a small bowl. Top each tomato with the mixture. Drizzle hot honey over the entire plate. Serve.
