He made whipped potato salad, and used a unique garnish. He peeled a boiled egg, then carefully sliced the white part into five pieces, like flower petals, centered by the whole yolk. He then used red pimento slices and slender pickle spears to fill in the spaces between the petals, so that the potato salad seemed to be topped with a colorful flower.Jan/lost-strayed-or-stolen.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107832787231548950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-5573099049678942322007-06-12T12:28:00.000-05:002007-06-12T12:28:00.000-05:00Yum, sounds like a good meal for a playgroup lunch...Yum, sounds like a good meal for a playgroup lunch too, when I want to just chat with my friends and watch the kids play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1258231623321751932007-06-12T12:15:00.000-05:002007-06-12T12:15:00.000-05:00Our odd family salad recipe is called Coca-cola sa...Our odd family salad recipe is called Coca-cola salad--black cherry jello, cream cheese, pineapple, pecans, canned cherries, and coke. It tastes better than it looks. I make it for major holidays, along with a Blackberry Jam Cake (another of my grandmother's recipes). Cooking these old dishes brings back so many childhood memories. Enjoy your salad plate!

On hot summer days, it's the best thing. I have old dinner plates from my MIL who I never met (she died when my husband was 10) I love eating off those plates, it makes me feel close to the woman who gave so much to my husband in the short time she was here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-4741750124863496462007-06-11T20:51:00.000-05:002007-06-11T20:51:00.000-05:00Meredith, this warms my heart reminding me of losi...Meredith, this warms my heart reminding me of losing two Great-Grandmother's last year. I try to give my children the treasure of their memory. :) <BR/><BR/>I also got on here to tell you a funny story you'll appreciate. Remember your unwrapped soap idea? I tried it. 5 bars of Lever 2000 unwrapped in a pretty tin sitting, unfortunately, on the back of the toilet tank. My son closed the lid, and I heard a loud splash...<BR/>So I haven't gotten to test out the dried soap theory. Next time I will put the soap somewhere else. ;)Someone Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235213938101654290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-65991226598219902882007-06-11T20:49:00.000-05:002007-06-11T20:49:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Someone Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235213938101654290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-55615022973620456492007-06-11T20:29:00.000-05:002007-06-11T20:29:00.000-05:00What a pretty plate.

I wish I had a little of her talent. She always set a beautiful table with beautiful glass ware. <BR/><BR/>I love your blog. Thanks for your up-dates.
