  1. This is a combination of several recipes and the result of a lot of experimentation to match my taste lol

    Use gold yukon or the small red potatoes. They are waxy and will hold together better.

     

    2 lbs. med. potatoes, un-pared

    2 tbsp. salad oil

    2 1/2 tbsp. cider vinegar

    1 tbsp. parsley, chopped

    2 tbsp. onion, finely chopped

    1/4 c. green pepper, finely chopped

    3/4 c. celery, diced

    3/4 c. Hellmann's mayonnaise

    Salt & pepper

    1 tsp. dill weed

     

    Scrub potatoes and cook until tender.

    Drain, peel and cut up.

    Combine all ingredients and refrigerate several hours (or overnight) before serving.

    ----------------

    What I do is boil the potatoes until they are cooked, but still firm. Otherwise, you end up making mashed potato salad.

    While the potatoes are cooking, mix all the other ingredients and refrigerate.

    When the potatoes are done, take them out and let them cool. When they are cool, peel them.

    To avoid mashing them when you mix them, cut them into 1/4 inch slices.

    Spread a thin layer of the dressing you made earlier in the bottom of a bowl.

    Spread a single layer of cut potatoes.

    Lightly cover that layer with the dressing you made earlier.

    Add another layer of potatoes, and lightly cover that with dressing.

    Continue doing that until you have run out of potatoes or dressing.

    You have to spread the dressing thinly or you won't have enough.

    Carefully toss the salad once or twice, but don't mash them, and then refrigerate.

    It tastes best when it's cold (overnight in the fridge).

  2. A young man at this construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone based on his strength. He especially made fun of one of the older workman. After several minutes, the older worker had enough.

     

    "Why don't you put your money where you mouth is?" he said. "I'll bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to the other building that you won't be able to wheel back."

     

    "You're on, old man," the young man replied. "Let's see what you've got."

     

    The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then nodding to the young man, he said with a smile, "All right. Get in."

  3. I think it's great he heard about us discussing his story. I wonder how many of us read the log to see what we said about it lol

     

    This sentence from his email:

     

    "In that story, there would be a happy ending. And a surprise one, too!-- I hope."

     

    got me wondering just who be happy, a Petting Zoo visitor or some well fed spider family. ;)
