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...

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...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
