Mostly Not Potato Salad is an execution I'd admire should whole food cooking suddenly sneak up on me, scream loudly, and bash my face right in. Medleys like that are known for their misbehavior, trust me. Slamming mere 2-in diced potatoes against the wall, because about ten minutes submerged in hideously hot water will get them tender like you like 'em. Believe me!
Throwing 4 ounces of green beans into the water is second nature...at just the right time, unless steaming them in the microwave preoccupies your imagination leaving no choice in the matter, only surrender. Leek and fresh dill are the next victims I'd assume, sautéed readily and willingly for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Six stalks of diced celery into the defiant matter an entire cucumber, 6 ounces of tofu, a tablespoon of chives, oh, and there's dressing!
I'd never make this, just giving an example. It is not against my religion to whisk 2 T whole grain mustard with 2 T red wine vinegar and 2 t olive oil, never has been. It's spanking the heck out of a half teaspoon sugar, getting the belt out for all I know, adding fine grain sea salt. No problemo.
So when I think of all the world's problems and acknowledge the depth of depravity in all the psychopaths out there, me being one of them, make peace with Jesus while you can. Thank Him regularly for all of your blessings, with every breath I'd hope. And look forward, because serving chilled Mostly Not Potato Salad with everything BUT the kitchen sink, though mostly just celery, cucumber, tofu I'll have to admit but take back later, and there's potatoes, and green beans, yes leeks, dill, chives, salt...wait.
Where's the pepper.
