Salad Season…Potato Salad

45 Replies

Shoko and I thought the month of June should be the kick off month for summer. What says summer more than salads? There are so many salads. You have your potato, green, Greek. pasta……the list is almost endless.

Our choice was potato salad. Potato salad is pretty easy to make and basic. You can put a variety of things in the potato salad. If, you read a recipe and don’t like what they added you can miss that item and it won’t make the potato salad taste like crap! No one needs to see cut up potato and egg Tyebe. Ya, we could show it when it’s all cut up.
It needs to be more up close and personal….c’mon….let me see small tasty ingredients

See how the red pepper gives the salad colour. I tell ya Tyebe at least 70% of the meal is presentation. We just get our food plunked down in front of us. Mom used to tell us all the good things about our meal while we were eating but dad just gives it to us. We need red pepper in our tuna Fancy Feast.

POTATO SALAD

2 big old potatoes

2 eggs

1 cup of grated cheddar cheese

1 stalk of celery

3 green onions

1/4 cup of Craisins

5 strips of cooked bacon

3 slices of dill pickle…chopped

1/4 C of chopped red pepper

1 tbsp of Bold and Spicy mustard. ( or to taste)

1/4 C mayo (or to taste)

1 1/4 tsp of thyme (to taste)

salt and pepper to taste.

sprinkle of sweet smoked paprika

Once you have the ingredients together chop the items small enough for a good taste of everything in one chew. Add thyme, salt and pepper. In a small dish mix mayo and mustard, then add to the potato salad. Smooth down potato salad and sprinkle with Sweet Smoked Paprika If, you don’t care for something, toss it out and add what you like. Have fun with it.

These Fill-Ins are hosted by Ellen of 15 and Meowing and Ann of McGuffy’s Reader. Thank you ladies for this lovely opportunity to express ourselves.

1. Peace….. IS RELATIVE. IF, THERE IS NO FRICTION, THERE IS NO PROGRESS. WE NEED ILLNESSES, FIGHTS AND EVEN WARS TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO THESE PROBLEMS. WE DISCOVER HOW FORTUNATE WE REALLY ARE WHEN WE SEE HOW HARD LIFE CAN BE. FOOLED YOU, DIDN’T I? I THINK ABOUT THINGS VERY DEEPLY….EVEN IF I’M KNOWN AS A BIT OF A NIPHEAD.

.
2. I need to …..TELL EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY HOW VALUABLE THEY ARE TO ME AND HOW THEY HELP ME BE MYSELF….., but I keep procrastinating.

3. A friend is…..SOMEONE THAT STANDS BESIDE YOU NO MATTER WHAT. THEY MAY NOT AGREE WITH YOU BUT WILL TRY AND HELP YOU. THEY ASK NO QUESTIONS BUT ARE JUST THERE FOR YOU.

4. I try to…..BE A FRIEND FOR MOM AND KALI. KALI JUST NEEDS TO KNOW I AM THERE FOR HER. WHEN SHE’S HAVING TROUBLE WALKING, I TAP HER LEGS SO SHE’S AWARE I KNOW SHE’S HAVING PROBLEMS BUT I WILL BE WITH HER WHENEVER SHE NEEDS ME. MOM JUST NEEDS ME TO BE ME AND PLAY WITH HER FEATHER WAND.

May you be smart enough to know a tomato is a fruit and wise enough not to put it in a fruit salad.

Hello, my friends.

It’s time for Shopping Around the World again. Our wonderful hosts are Fozziemum and Piglove.

Today I will show you an easy meal for the warm summer months. You will need:

A small tough cut of pork roast ($12.56)
2 tbsp. marmalade ($3.49)
1 cup Bold Hickory BBQ sauce ($3.40)
1/2 cup orange juice (Minute Maid…$0.20)
salt and pepper to taste… look in your cupboard
1 onion($0.50)

Instructions:

Put half a cup of orange juice in a crock pot. Mix in 2 tbsp of marmalade. To this mixture add 1 cup of Bold Hickory BBQ sauce. Stir that pot like a seasoned witch….cackling helps. Cut 1 onion in half and then slice the onion and throw into the mixture. Add pork roast to the crock pot and turn the crock pot to low. Cook for about 8 hours or until the roast is fall apart tender with a fork. Shred the pork roast with your fork until there is nothing but small shreds of pork drowned in the orange juice mixture. Then apply the shredded pork to a bun. Delicious!

What did you say Kali? We were suppose to give the ingredients for a salad? Cwap!! S’cuse me, I feel foolish….this is a big oops. MOM!! What happened here? Did you read the instructions when you first got outta bed? Geez!
What can I say other than here is my salad for this month’s recipe. Um…use your imagination my friends.

May your blankie be stuffed with nip.
