Hello again,
So I have decided that I must be ready for summer. Based on the fact that I decided that the best thing to use a bag of potatoes for is potatoe salad. This past week I received a good selection of fruit and veggies in my basket, but the most exciting to me was the potatoes and the mangos. I ended up turning the mangos into, well, a fruit salad. I had so many ideas on what I wanted to use them for. But in the end, my summer cravings came out and I chopped up a bunch of fruit and threw it in a bowl and spent the weekend eating it. It was delicious and being that I have never actually peeled and cut a mango myself before, I thought it went pretty smoothly (or should I say slippery). Great flavor once again in all of the fruit.
Okay, getting back to the potatoes and summer. I was supposed to spend last weekend baking for the March of Dimes fundraiser bake sale. I managed to get it all done on Sunday. But when I showed up to my mothers house, and everyone was ready to work on convincing me of going to mom and Dan's cabin in Craig, how could I refuse the idea of an almost summer day on the 4-wheelers? So I bagged the baking for the day and went 4-wheeling to the cabin. The night before we left however, I thought was the perfect chance to utilize those lovely looking potatoes. I made one very large batch of potatoes salad.
And the outcome of the salad? Well, we carried home an empty bowl, and out of the 4 1/2 (Becca is included in this tally) people who ate it, they must have loved it because the bowl was empty by the end of lunch. I personally think we were all ready for summer to get here. It was a great day of clear blue skies, 4-wheeling in the mud, and hanging out with my family.
So I hope the weather is treating you all well, and that you have had a chance to get out in it and enjoy a brief summary of what I hope the summer will bring.
Until next time have a great day, week, or weather day.
