    Potato Salad

    I do like a spicy kick to the salad and may use a touch of horse radish to get that added flavor.

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    All kinds of bug - mites, roaches, ants, fruit flies. The latter are worse because they attract bats.

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    I would love to grow my own in my apartment but our building has bugs and I'm afraid of attracting them in my unit because of the greenery. Some of my neighbors do plant their own but then they complain of infestation. Ugh - not worth the extra headaches.

    Shucking corn: you're doing it wrong

    I got a large bag of lettuce and gave it a good washing before putting some leaves into my soup. Good thing I did as there were a couple of dead bugs and what looked dirt (hopefully it was that and not night soil). After the washing, the lettuce gave good flavor and body to my soup. :)

    Quick Pickles...

    Here's something from the past - in fact, from way out of left field = baseball players were society's first recyclers: we used to save pickle juice, keep it cool, and take it with us on hot summer days when playing baseball. If you were overheated by the sun, it gave you a quick pickup and...
