The Sins of Salads...



Ok, so Hubby says he needs to run to the store...do I need anything else to go with the pulled pork sandwiches he plans to serve up for our lunch....?  No, I say...can't think of anything.  Ok, he says...
While I'm gone, would you mind mixing up a potato salad to go with the pork? 
Sure!  I'll get right on that! I reply. (smiling sweetly like a good wife is suppose to do)
I boil up the potatoes...drain them...add the sweet pickle relish...mustard...mayonnaise...and begin a gentle stirring.  Hubby's walking in the back door just as I begin the gentle stirring...
"We're not 'gonna have Mashed potato salad are we?" asked Hubby dearest....
Smarta**, I reply.
Would have helped if I let the potatoes cool off.
When you don't cook enough, you tend to lose your magical cooking powers.  And yes, it ended up being "mashed" potato  salad.
I think I'll keep my day job.
