Potato Salad

Two things happen once a year.
- The Man (D) has a birthday.
- I make potato salad
That these happen around the same time is no coincidence.
He loves potato salad.
I hate to make potato salad.
However...
I believe I've got my recipe down to a science so that when I do make it, it's something to look forward to.

So, just for fun, here I'd my recipe!

1 5lb bag of red potatoes boiled and chopped
1 dozen eggs hard boiled, cooled, peeled and diced
1 bunch green onions sliced
4-5 stalks of celery diced
3-4 kosher dill pickles diced
Mayo - as much or as little as you like
Same goes for salt and pepper.

Mix it up
Eat it up

You're probably thinking '5lb's?!?'

I make it once a year, i make the batch count, we ususlly try to coincide a bbq and then we eat it all weekend!

Happy Birthday D!

Boy is that a familiar recipe. YUMMY!! I used to make it every other week in the summer when we were younger. It was requested by all our friends, I still have the large orange and yellow Tupperware bowls I used.

It's loosely based off of my MIL's she doesn't add the celery, or the onion, and she uses russet potatoes... I like crunchy potato salad so I'll add more celery than anything...

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday
