Hot Potato Salad

I hate potato salad. Ok I hate any "salad" that has four cups of mayonnaise added to it, and looks like a loaf of bread that's been expanded in dirty water. (this includes egg salad, ambrosia, and deviled eggs because they're basically a handheld version of the salad)

This "salad" has no mayo.
It has all the veggies you/I love, and a tangy amazing dressing that you'll want to eat with everything.

First you pickle you own spring onion, kosher style.

Baby or fingerling potatoes. Try a variation.

...mock fingerlings.

lightly steam and blanch your greens.

add something(s) fresh.

chop into bite size pieces.

fold it all together now.

add dressing** and pickled onions.

jazz up your plate with some homegrown burger lettuce.

Et voila! A literal bite of heaven. I served mine with stuffed soul.

** Dressing.

1/4 cup olive oil

1.5 tbsp white wine vinegar

1.5 tbsp grainy mustard

1 tsp Dijon

shake, shake, shake

Chevron Dresser.

I have a dresser similar but six drawered. three & three.
This would look amazing in my living room as a makeshift entertainment center.

Date Night.

I had a date with my kitchen this evening, it's been a while.
I decided on making banana bread, because it's the most breakfast-y cake I can think of!

See you in an hour!

........

In the mean time, I'm going to clean my pantry...

I often dream of living somewhere that has an IKEA so I don't have to eat pickles like a pregnant woman to get some storage for my dried goods.

.......

What's a date night without flowers? ... make myself a lovely fragrant bouquet from my garden. Lemon Balm, Peri-winkle and a few Bluebells that are on their last legs.

......

Et voila! Breakfast cake!

Hoping I can achieve the similar effect in my home office/guest room.

Damask you!

This is exactly how to NOT faux wallpaper your bathroom.

Home made and not reccomended stencil.

And done. Would like to add that those mirrors are totally aligned now.
