All these recipes makes me think I ought to try making it myself.. hmm<br />2. I made three masks with using the guess-how method. They’re ok. Then I watch a YouTube video. AhHa! Made some adjustments to my pattern and finished six more, with four more just waiting to be sewed. But not today. <br />It’s cold and raining here, so I did some church work, and I’m working on a list of errands for tomorrow. I feel a nap coming on.. 💤 💤 💤 <br />Thanks for your blog Mary Moon!

And we'd eat off it all week.

Yes, this was the time of year that the ...Hi Mary,<br /><br />Yes, this was the time of year that the chicks migrated from the basement of the School House mom and dad had converted into our home. Dad had built a “brooder” chicken house with huge sliding doors in the front, (3'X3'), out by the barn. One heat lamp at one end. A door out the back to the, “chicken yard.” The only difference in what we did and what you do was we moved about a hundred at a time. Very exciting I recall.<br /><br />Potato Salad: Potatoes and eggs, lots or little, depending on how much you want to make, the more eggs the richer the salad becomes. I like red potatoes, scrubbed, with skins on. I boil potatoes and eggs in the same water. Then pickles, celery and some pickle juice. I like to add olives, my choice is black ones because of the flavor it's almost like a spice. Mom used to always use mustard and mayonnaise for a dressing. But I always felt it was too intense. I discovered that if I used sour cream into which I whipped a package of the original powdered Ranch Dressing, https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Valley-Original-Dressing-Seasoning/dp/B000R96EOU<br />and then mixed that together with SOME mayonnaise and a LITTLE mustard, the mix is just right. Don't follow the hidden valley recipe that calls for adding butter milk, etc, just use the powder together with the sour cream. I've always felt that the Mustard can be overwhelming to the other flavors, too much mayonnaise can make it taste greasy. <br />I don't know anything about my potato salad as far as tradition goes, but I've discovered there is seldom any left when I bring it to a gathering.<br /><br />Happy Easter.<br /><br />Tom and Dimi<br />TJ Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302345097335357731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-4022691834965184412020-04-12T07:39:47.069-04:002020-04-12T07:39:47.069-04:00My mom used to put chopped apples and boiled eggs ...My mom used to put chopped apples and boiled eggs in her potato salad.

Must be of the non floury kind and we boil them whole and unpeeled and let them cool enough to pull off the skin which is really easy. Then slice of cube them and dip them still warm into a big bowl where a sharp oil/vinegar dressing is waiting. Toss and cover. Chop tiny gherkins (mildly pickled, we call them cornichons) into slices, chop fresh chives and some parsley, fresh radish if available also sliced, salt and pepper and mix it all. My grandmother would add cubed Fleischwurst which is a but like bland boiled ham.<br /><br />Your chickens make my day!Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-24432203977430884752020-04-12T04:37:21.532-04:002020-04-12T04:37:21.532-04:00https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/classic-potato...https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/classic-potato-saladYorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-65581377064702362562020-04-12T03:30:36.541-04:002020-04-12T03:30:36.541-04:00It is really worth your while to buy a good moistu...It is really worth your while to buy a good moisturising hand cream.

Irish potato salad is bleh, it's basically cubed potatoes and mayo. <br /><br />I boil new potatoes, preferably skin intact. While they're still warm, I put them in a mix of: <br />orange or lemon juice, mayonaise, mustard, dried oregano and basil, chopped parsley, CELERY SEEDS, salt, pepper and paprika. Into this dressing go finely chopped pickles, and, if you like, some black olives too. <br /><br />I could it this salad out of the bowl with a spoon til it's gone, the way you eat ham. I love it beyond reason.

I love watching those little guys.<br /><br />I make a real basic potatoe salad just like my Mother did years ago. Chopped potatoes, boiled eggs, onion, pickle relish, Miracle Whip, a touch of mustard and then salt, pepper and paprika. Sometimes I cook my potatoes in the crock pot overnight and then refrigerate them before I chop them up.<br /><br />I'm happy to hear you had a good day today. I'm glad you got those chicks.

Lots of frontline staff getting really sore ears due to elastic on mask behind ears great crochet or knit pattern on FB to hold mask in place which naturally now cant find So you just crochet or knit thin strip looks like a hair clip but no clip. Then sew buttons on outside each end so elastic from mask goes on to buttons,Sits behind ears at back of head. No ear irritation and very easy to make.
