SOLID POTATO SALAD – The Crabby Cook – by Jessica Harper

The Crabby Cook – by Jessica Harper

SOLID POTATO SALAD

1 pound new potatoes, cut in half (or if they are big, cut in 1-inch chunks)
½ pound string beans, cut into 1 ½ pieces (try to find the tiny, French kind)
¾ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup crème fraiche
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ cup fresh snipped chives
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
¼ cup finely chopped basil or dill
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Dump the potatoes in boiling, lightly salted water to cover. Simmer until the potatoes are just about tender, about 15 minutes. Then throw in the beans and continue cooking until the beans are crisp-tender, about 3 more minutes. Drain the vegetables and set them aside to cool. (If you are getting crabby, replay the Ross Sisters video.)

2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, crème fraiche, lemon juice and mustard. Stir in the herbs, salt and pepper.

3. In a large salad bowl, gently toss the potatoes and beans with enough dressing to coat the vegetables well. Correct the seasoning if necessary. Let the salad sit for an hour or so before serving. Or refrigerate and serve it later, but bring it to room temperature before you serve it.

Sounds good. Gonna have to give it a try.

Cheeseburger in a Can

DIGYOUROWNGRAVE.COM – Cheeseburger in a Can

The concept alone just sounds nasty, and the reality looks worse. She does try it but the look on her face as she is taking a bite is the one I have seen on folks that are fixing to vomit profusely. I just can’t imagine ANYONE thinking a cheeseburger in a can was a good idea…

Thanks go to HOT PINK GEEK for the link!

Interesting variation on the sauce in this one. Used some of the general ideas the other day and the result was quite tasty. Am going to have to give the entire recipe a try.

Pasties, Plain and Simple

Pasties, Plain and Simple

To many people in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the pasty is much more than merely food — it is an identifying cultural mark that gives them their own identity. The same is true of the citizens of Cornwall, England.

The pasty is a simple food, really. While it doesn’t do justice to its taste, the pasty can be described as a pot pie without the pot; or a smaller, more portable meat pie.

Have read about these meat and veggie hand pies for years but never had one. This site has a wealth of recipes for all different kinds. Gonna have to give several of them a try.
