Ophelia! So good to see you! I am locked out of the Crashman's computer (I gave away his keyboard and mouse), so I've been bopping in here for the past couple of days, searching for my recipes. It'll be another week before the replacements are here. Then, I have to see if I remember his password.. LOL!

Most of my online time is spent on Ancestry.com and Find-a-Grave. I have a 7,000 person family tree that I am cultivating. Facebook comes in second. I will see if I have the time and the emotional strength to hang out here, too.

I wouldn't be the same Damsel. My shrink hooked me up with a medication that calms my brain, so I'm not a raging bitch on-and-off anymore. Just a nice lady who likes to cook.

Thank you. He had a leaky bowel with terrible infections in 2014-15. He slowly died over a three year period.

I did find the potato salad!


Dilled Potato Salad

Recipe By : Damsel in dis Dress
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : side dishes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 medium russet potatoes -- diced
4 large eggs -- hard cooked
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
3 tablespoon dill pickle juice -- *
1/2 cup dill pickles -- minced
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 salt and pepper -- to taste

* If red potatoes are used, reduce pickle juice to 2 tbsp.

1. Hard cook the eggs; chill, remove shells, and cut in half. Remove yolks
and dice the whites. Set aside
2. Cook potatoes in water until desired tenderness. Drain; rinse under
cold, running water to stop the cooking process.
3. While potatoes are cooking, combine mashed egg yolks with remaining
ingredients.
4. Combine chilled potatoes and the sauce mixture. Add egg whites.
5. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, to allow flavors to blend.
6. Check for moisture. If too dry, add more pickle juice or milk until
desired consistency is achieved.
7. Sprinkle paprika on top just prior to serving, if desired.

VARIATIONS:
- Use dill pickle relish instead of chopped pickles.
- Use fresh minced onions in place of onion powder.
- Add finely chopped celery for crunchiness.
- Add a dash of tabasco sauce for a little extra zing.

Oh, you don't want that bitch again. I call my medication my "anti-heinous-bitch" pills. I didn't like her, either.

If I'm gonna hang around here, it'll take awhile to get used to the set-up here again. I'm on Google Groups. When I was here before, I used a separate program.

Here's my potato salad

Japanese Potato Salad

Peel and cube potatoes and boil in water until soft and mashable, drain and cool.

Slice cucumber thinly and lightly salt, let sit for 20 minutes.

Slice carrots thinly and boil in water until slightly tender.

Mash potatoes until slightly chunky.

Add Japanese mayo or American mayo to potato. If using American mayo, add a good amount of MSG. You can add add a little vinegar, if desired.

Squeeze cucumber in hand to get rid of excess water, add to salad.

Drain carrots well and dry on paper towel, add to salad.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Additionally, you can add chopped hard boiled egg, ham, and corn(!) if desired. I don't but you can.

It's a strange thing that something so simple can be so sublime with the addition of a few things. Frozen peas would be good too.

I got some Japanese potato salad from Safeway yesterday. I was very pleased to see it in deli case. However, it turned out to be just plain bad. The potatoes were undercooked and not mashed and it was made with just plain mayo. It was a salty, greasy, mass of sadness. That was almost 10 bucks down the drain. Sorry to bitch about a salad but it made me really sad.

True, for instance, there's this woman called Ophelia who keeps making
these snide remarks lately. Uncalled for and out of the blue. Good

It's a strange thing that something so simple can be so sublime with the
addition of a few things. Frozen peas would be good too.

I got some Japanese potato salad from Safeway yesterday. I was very pleased
to see it in deli case. However, it turned out to be just plain bad. The
potatoes were undercooked and not mashed and it was made with just plain
mayo. It was a salty, greasy, mass of sadness. That was almost 10 bucks down
the drain. Sorry to bitch about a salad but it made me really sad.

I am sorry to hear that. Just one thing, you mash potato for a potato
salad?

That is new to me!

There are several types and not all are distinct chunks of potato.

I think it was a German version when I first saw it. More like lumpy
mustardly 'salad'. Worked really well.

Potato salad is a staple at funeral gatherings.

Not in my world.
Viands are typically hard liquor and rich cake... Slivervitz and Honey
cake with almonds. One thing I know is Jews know how to orchistrate a
funeral. I grew up in a predominately Jewish neigborhood in Brooklyn
and Jews know all about great foods for every occasion, especially
funerals; pickled herrings and fresh baked breads
are a must. Growing up in Brooklyn during the 40s-50s there was no
such thing as foreign foods.

It all depends on your culture.

Your culture said hard liquor and cake. My culture says fried chicken,
potato salad, deviled eggs, and pecan pies.

Sounds like my culture, except beer and hard liquor, cake instead of pie.

My culture has fried chicken and potato salad. I sure wish it had pecan pies. I can take or leave the deviled eggs.

Ham. Always a ham at a funeral.

Actually, I haven't been to a good, old-fashioned funeral in years.
We don't have 'em in my family anymore, and my husband's family lets
the church ladies do the catering. They buy some cheap-ass stuff
from the grocery store deli. Nasty. At least we're done with that;
now that his father is gone he won't have any reason to go to his
remaining brothers' funerals.

I detest deviled eggs, I think they are an abomination, the very worst
of all possible ways to serve eggs. At Upstate NY funerals the church
ladies put out deviled eggs and cheap bologna on cheap white with
yallow mustard... and buckets of beer. Not long before the VFW hall
is cleared out by tear gas farting.
