Oh Mrs. A - that sounds tough! Travelling abroad (and even closer to home!) is often a big relationship challenge I think. I hope their trip will go well, as they settle into a new time zone and new expectations. Glad you could see how Canadian you are now!!

and for visitors that take a few days away on their own-that will be good for them-and you as well Mrs. Anteater.

They added another day on their own. I have to deal with some health issues tomorrow.

Home after the weekend away. Lovely neighbour took good care of the cat, but reported they had to stand next to the bowl to encourage her to eat ( I know, she often doesn’t eat until I sit down, too). Now she is cuddling up stretched out on my legs. I guess she missed me.

Happy Tuesday, all! Time for coffee and more! Help yourself.

And some doughnuts, too. OOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Northwind]

Good morning. The coffee is delicious, thanks. I've brought some fruit to accompany the doughnuts and other great items here. Of course, only your favourites have been included. Such is the magic of the virtual snack bar.

Well, sorry folks, but I just gobbled up all the potato salad that was in the fridge. Wow - it was magnificent! I DO love good potato salad & my mate made a new recipe yesterday ... sorry no leftovers to share. But if you like cooking & wonder about the science of it ... you might like this recipe from The Food Lab book (truly fascinating book!) Enjoy! Potato Salad Done Right | The Food Lab

Bringing a blueberry pie to the mix. We picked 30 litres yesterday. Oh my aching back. But, still, I am happy to make a pie for all of you here!

 

[Northwind]

Yum. Blueberry pie. Here's some ice cream to go with it.

I agree with her suggestion about the seasoning- but cutting the potatoes and then cooking them in little cubes surely kills any vitamines that are left in them. Better is to boil them whole, then cut them while warm ( German potatoe salad is rather sliced than cubed) and drown them in veggie or chicken bouillon for a few hours to soak up the flavours ( keep in fridge) before draining the extra liquid and adding onions, pickles and chives as well as bacon and an apple. I usually don’t add mayo, but you could and the mustard is also a nice feature.

 

[Northwind]

That sounds delicious @Mrs.Anteater. I guess that's why German potato salad is so yummy.

Bit early for a pint there, but I am standing in the Guinness brewery in Dublin, so I will get a couple casks hooked up for later.

Hi, y'all. Hope all is well. Back more often next week when I get home.

 

[Redbaron]

And now, to try to counteract the Guinness, coffee is ready. Tea on tap, other warm drinks are available. Enjoy.
