"This is by far the best potato salad I have ever eaten. My aunt Stephanie makes this for every family get together and it is always gobbled up. I am the official taster to help her figure out what is needed to make it just right. My aunt included this in the family cookbook and I couldn't be more thrilled. She mixes this together with her hands and frankly I think that is part of the secret to its success. It may be messy but roll up your sleeves and dig in. She did not list the amounts of the ingredients because that is up to you. Just follow her instructions. Recipezaar is requiring measurements, so I am going to guess, but ignore them and create your own."

I love to cook and have been expanding my knowledge here for over a year. My fiancee moved in with me around the time I started frequenting this site because I had to make the same things taste different so we will not get bored. I am about to graduate with my BFA in Art Education in May. My wedding is in June, soooo my plate is pretty full physically and metaphorically... I think the greatest thing about this site is not only do you learn new ways to cook great tasting meals, but you also become more capable of making up your own recipes. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
