The Heat Did Me In

I ended up napping the afternoon away. This means I'll
probably be up late tonight but since it's so hot that's not
really bad.

I used some left-over boiled potatoes from yesterday to make
the potato salad. All I had to do was cut them up, add
chopped onions, celery and pickles, boil a few eggs and add
those chopped, a little salt, pepper, and mayonnaise and voila! a
potato salad! I'll have John begin to grill the burgers
soon and dinner will be done.

I sent Jack a link to Ruminations on Cooking
at
http://dragons-lair.diaryland.com/010523_45.html

My favorite is
"Oh, shit!" is not necessarily swearing when pronounced
by the cook. In our college apartment, it was known as the pie crust
prayer and was considered a vital part of the process.

I gave Jack some instructions on making pie crusts, at his request,
on his last visit home so this seemed appropriate and perhaps
even useful!
