Family Reunion TIme!

Tomorrow is the Fenter Reunion in Point....  This means it's time to bust out a great recipe, because all those ladies who will be attending are awesome cooks!  I am taking deviled eggs, strawberry shortcake  and potato salad.  Not just ANY potato salad....  I'm trying this recipe:

Potato Bacon and Corn Salad

2 lbs small red potatoes (do not peel or cut)
Kosher salt
Pepper
6 slices of bacon (fry or bake and chop into small pieces)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 ear sweet corn (cut kernels off the cob)
1/2 small red onion (cut into think strips)
2 cups baby arugula
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Boil potatoes, bring to a rapid boil.  Add 2 tsp Kosher salt, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until knife does thru easily.   Drain, rinse with cold water and slice in half or quarters depending on size.  Set aside

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.  Add potatoes to this mixture and toss.

Just before serving, toss in bacon, corn, arugula and parsley.  Enjoy!

I think it sounds awesome and will be something different to add to the dinner, which is sure to be great.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

Happy Friday all,
XOXO,

Heartwarming...

It is very heartwarming to see Emory band together as a community to dig out of the rubble from the recent tornado.  Was sad to hear that the guy who was killed in the truck that the tornado picked up and tossed like a hot wheel was from Emory.  A tornado hits the town he is from, he is in Canton and is killed there.  Such a sad story.  The former military guy that was with him as he took his last breath was so sad on the news. Brought tears to my eyes.  Although I've not lived there for many many years, Emory still holds a special place in my heart.  Let's hope that tonight's possible storms spare the area.  They do not need anymore rain or bad weather.

Sorry to be so quick....tired tonight!

XOXO,
PK
