Texas Potato Salad

I went to Austin a few years back and had this potato salad and fell in love with it. I’ve gone so far as to coin it “The Best Potato Salad Ever” and no one disagrees. Ever.You can find at least five different versions of this online, but this is my own twist.This recipe can be halved or doubled. As is, it makes about 15-20 servings. [Read more...]

I got this out of a magazine (you all remember my cookbooks, right?) so I can’t claim it entirely as my own. I did edit it a little last night, so I’m posting that version. So I guess it’s mostly mine, yah?

Today I…

  • cleaned out the game closet
  • practiced whip shading (um, I need more practice ;) )
  • went food shpping (Sams & Publix, spent almost double what I planned but got lots of goodness)
  • had sammies for dinner (turkey, roast beest, ham, swiss, provolone, muenster, yum!)
  • picked up an ipod/iphone dock for the dining room – we’ve been listening to lots of music there and my tiny travel speakers were dying
  • got a new bin for the compostables in the kitchen. it will live in the second sink, as we never use it (the garbage disposal isn’t hooked up to that sink, and no one ever remembers so it’s just off limits)
  • swept the dining room
  • cleaned the table off
  • did some work

And now Michael is playing D&D with Dor, Mal & Michael and I am watching Harry Potter (#1) with Eshiva. We went to see Night at the Museum last night, and it rocked. It’s definitely on the “to get” list. I think we’ll do some sand art tomorrow before Michael goes to work. I can’t believe it’s almost Tuesday already. Time flies.

I have some actual drawing to do for work – I want to get down to Pearls and replace my pencil though… I wonder if MIchael’s has one. It’s much closer. I wont spend as much too – Pearl’s is like an artists porn store lol Thank god we don’t have a brick & mortar Blicks near by!

Quick n Easy Dinner Tonight

Yummy too! The kids helped make mini pizzas with Thomas’ English Muffins, tomato sauce, cheese, some pizza seasoning and I made a few with mushrooms. Pop em in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes (depends on how “done” you want your cheese) at 375F.

I reheated some chops for dad, and we had salad too. I love easy dinner nights.
