potato salad w/ celery and pepper bacon added. Or any kind of sturdy salad (that doesn't drip).

I find most hummus recipes end up too thick for my tastes. For some reason. I always add extra water (extra oil makes it too greasy).
“I’d rather sit down with an old cookbook than any reading material. “
Same here. I read cookbooks for fun. The older ones with a historical note are the best.
She sounds like an amazing woman - the furniture store in my home town was owned by a survivor of the concentration camps, not sure which one (didn’t ask) but he had the numbers tattooed on his arm. He had three sons and when each of them graduated college he set them up with stores of their own. His name was Jack and he remembered every customer, great guy who had truly been through hell.
Those cookbooks sound very interesting! thanks for listing them - I’ll add them to my list of books to look for.
In the Army once I had one of my cooks making slaw dressing. He got confused and understood the abbreviation for teaspoons as table spoons on the mustard being added to the 12 gallons of slaw.
To salvage it I took about six cups of bland mayo and then rolled and squeezed successive batches of the slaw in a clean cheese cloth wrap. Without that, it was unedible.
That’s it. Enjoy.
My husband always tells me that Jacques Pepin always calls water something like ‘chateau de faucet’ :-)
In my experience, you do always have to add some water to any hummus recipe.

Oops! Husband just told me that it should be ‘Chateau Faucet’, or ‘Chateau Sink’, without the ‘de’.
Go figure- he studied German, and I studied French...and Spanish :-)

cute!
I like my hummus quite runny, so I’m always adding water. lots. most recipes make it really thick. it would break most pita chips!
Tomatoes and peppers will be in the garden (albeit covered with front blankets overnight) this weekend. Cukes and a couple others are out, also covered overnight.
I think we’ve turned the corner on cold weather. ‘bout time...
Wife & I are looking at utility vehicles, IE: JD Gator or the like from Polaris, Kawasaki, etc.
Anyone have experience with these units?
We’d like to find a JD 825 with low hours. From what we’ve looked at, used Gators are either near-new with < 50 hours or beaten up with 900 hours.
I think one reason that my friend’s apartment was so beautiful, is because she and her husband also had friends in the furniture/antique business. There was a wonderful Sleigh bed in her apartment that must have been almost 200 years old.
She had a leaded-glass Moravian Star, that she gave me. My husband and I made it into a hanging lamp that always decorates our Christmas, in her memory.

That looks great, and nice to have the ‘low-carb’ sweetening option. Will Try.

Well, I guess ‘stuff happens’; but we can usually rescue things :-)

I have her Christmas book.
Better be past the last frost. I’m driving all the way out there to plant all the flower pots on the decks and put out stuff by the front door (for the deer and rabbits I’m afraid).
I got the last of ten new cactus I bought planted here and 70% of my winter petunias and pansies have burnt up, so now it is time for me to plant stuff that will die over there.
We have asperagus planted just above the lake rip rap on our rental cabin. It mostly survived the floods but I think I’ll shop for some new guys...
Excellent !
After a few days in the upper 70s it is back into the 80s for us. We already had a stretch in the 90s last weekend. 100s are just around the corner here.
Just don’t go running the power line cuts with that four wheeler. Had a buddy on the Linn Creek arm go out doing that and hit a hidden power pole hole that was unused and never filled in. The brush hide it and he hit it and flipped. Broke bones and tore ligaments that he still cusses five years later.
