Grilled Salmon with Green Goddess Dressing Prep time: 10 minutes
2. Generously brush or spray the fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill, flesh side down, over Direct High heat until you can lift the fillets with tongs off the grate without sticking, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the fillets and cook them to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare. Slide a spatula between the skin and flesh and transfer the fillets to serving plates. Spoon the sauce over the fillets. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings
Known mostly as Uncle Otto’s answer to a runny nose, the pocket square has long been misrepresented. It’s easy to forget about Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, and all those cool jazz musicians who wipe their brow after the trumpet solo. Recently, this sartorial riddle has made a comeback in men’s fashion — just check the fall runway shows at New York Fashion Week. For those of you who’d rather drink from a water hazard that sit between Paris Hilton or Yoko Ono at a fashion show, here’s what you missed: pocket squares now make for great replacements to neckties. But what about the proper fold? Simple: Hold the pocket square like you’re a waiter dangling a napkin over a patron’s lap. Fold the pointed end over twice toward the open end (“the puff” in fashion speak). Insert into jacket pocket. Voilah — you’re Dean Martin v.2.0.

Grand Marnier, that potent, perfumy orange liqueur, has a reputation for warming the cockles of our hearts. Screwdrivers are best known as accoutrements for late a.m. brunches or poolside relaxation. Mix the two together, and something entirely new happens. The Belvedere Grand boldly blends Grand Marnier and vodka, with results that may best be described as the perfect parts of summer and winter. 1 ½ oz.
