Potato Salad


OK, so you died the Easter eggs and now are stuck with a dozen hard boiled eggs, what do you do with them? There are the simple things like egg salad (which I am not a fan of), deviled eggs (another thing I do not enjoy unless my husband is making them), and hard boiled egg sandwiches, but you can only eat so many of those. I decided to add some eggs to my potato salad. I have no idea what measurements I use so use your taste buds to figure out what you like. Here is my pithy Potato Salad recipe...


6 small red potatoes, cut into quarters

1 tablespoon of vinegar

some mayo, not very much, I hate the stuff

some mustard, I use more than the mayo amount

some dill relish

some chopped roasted red peppers, drained

some chopped red onion

some chopped chives

and a 3 cut up hard boiled eggs


Boil potatoes until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Place potatoes in a large bowl and sprinkle with vinegar. Place potatoes in the fridge and cool. When potatoes are cold, add other ingredients to bowl, mix and serve.

Easter Brunch


One of my favorite things in the whole world is Easter Brunch. Trying to figure out which one is the best lead to a debate today that ended in a tie, The Hotel Del Coronado, and The Prado. Each one has it high points, both have great food, an excellent service. Last year we went to brunch at Colonial Williamsburg, this year for some reason there was no brunch there, which is really too bad as I think we would have made that a family tradition for the duration of our stay in Virginia. Looking for a substitute we headed to Schelsinger's in Newport News. I enjoyed it, but really all brunches should be champagne brunches, and I think that this is the main thing that kept me from really loving it. However I would love to go there for dinner one night without the kids. The lamb, roast, and all the other offerings that I tried were great. The rest of the family loved the place.
