Four Foods on Friday #76

posted in home |

It’s Friday! And, time for my favorite weekly meme, Four Foods on Friday.

This week’s questions and my answers:

#1. Do you celebrate Memorial Day with a picnic, cookout, road trip or some other way? Not usually, and this year, it’s just a normal weekend for us. I am working hours on all 3 days this weekend and my daughter has yet another big school project to work on So, hopefully we’ll get some time to be outside by the pool, and the weather will cooperate!

#2. What are staples at your summer time cookouts? We grill out all year long, so probably the only thing different would be that we eat more potato salad in the summer!

#3. What drink do you find most refreshing on a hot summer day? Freshly brewed iced tea, with lots of ice!

#4. Share a recipe for a picnic side dish. That would have to be for potato salad

Peel, chop into bite size pieces, and boil as many potatoes as you would like in your salad. Also boil a few eggs, both to add to the salad and as garnish. Allow the potatoes to cool once they’re done cooking. Then, in a large bowl, combine about a cup of mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip), 2 T yellow mustard, a tsp. of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper and a tsp of celery salt, all to taste. Chop up all but one of the boiled eggs and add to salad, mix everything together. If you like, you can also add a dab of relish. Slice the last egg and position slices on top of potato salad. Sprinkle paprika all over the top.
