New Love

There's this gal, a pioneer gal, from Oklahoma...I'm in love.  

I found her a while back, maybe even a year back, and thought "oh my, she's wonderful", then I forgot about her.   That's just a testament to how busy I am.

Last week I bumped into her again (well not her, but her blog).  

It's like when I first met Man.  Wonderful!  Then I wondered if he was really as great as he seemed that first day.  He smelled good, looked good, sounded good, mmmm!  Then that next day he was just as good, or better!

That's how I feel about this gal.   I'm so happy to have re-found her. 

Please visit her site.  You will find something to treasure there.  Check out her recipe tab, or her confessions tab then click on Charlie her basset hound, or anything - it's ALL good!   I'm loving her photography bits. 

If you like coffee even the littlest bit, or know someone who likes coffee, look for her iced coffee recipe, wow! 

I'm going to try and photograph food again.  It's really hard to take pics of food.  But Ree has inspired me to try again.  Ree (that's Pioneer Woman).

For dinner we are having brats on the grill, and potato salad.  Not your store variety spud salad, the good stuff.


For this you will need:
yellow potatoes, I like Yukon Gold
mayonnaise
mustard (I use French's, honest I do)
pickles, dill, not pre-chopped
purple onion
olives, I like Kalamatas (I like my food and my Man strong!)
olive oil
pepper
sea salt, or whatever salt you have

Chop the spuds into about 3/4" chunks, put em' in a pot, cover with water and boil until soft/firm.

Chop the onion, or 1/2 the onion, slice the olives in half, chop the pickles, but leave them big so you can actually taste them.  Mix these in a bowl, add a big spoon of mayo, a good squirt of mustard, a long drizzle of olive oil, three or four grinds of pepper and at least a teaspoon of salt. 

When the potatoes are done, drain them, throw it all together and let it cool on down.  Or...you can serve it hot if it's a cool day.  Hot Potato salad is good.
