NEXT CHALLENGE - BEST POTATO SALAD

Summertime is almost here. At least it feels like it in Florida. Temperatures have been in the upper 80's and low 90's. Los Angeles weather has been milder. Grills are already starting up in my neighborhood, so thoughts of hot weather foods are coming to mind.

I learned to make potato salad from some awesome Southern cooks. I tweeked the recipes to find the way I like it best. It is the potato salad I've loved and have made for over 30 years. It might surprise you to know that in spite of that, I've never met a potato salad I didn't like.

Pete has several different ones he likes and makes. He decided that he is going to make Richard Simmon's potato salad. Pete says that it is really delicious. I'll be anxious to see the recipe. I have to say that I'm intrigued and may have to make it to taste test it myself.

  4. Hello Flavia, Very glad you like us and glad I can be of help. You can stop by any local Smart & Final for a nice selection of kitchenware items but the REALLY nice store I love to go to is Surfas in Culver City. They are very close to West Hollywood. They are located on the corner of National and Washington Boulevards. They have EVERYTHING! And if they don't have it, they can get it. Good luck and have fun. Pete

  5. I have one that is called "Everything But The Kitchen Sink Potato Salad" and it really has everything in it. It always gets rave reviews. I will have to post it if the weather ever gets better here - we have been hit with cold and rain since Feb. and that is so unusual, Utah usually has lovely springs.
