Old Tyme Potato Salad From Auld Recipe
This is another recipe from the old cookbook (plus/minus 100 years old) I found when rummaging through family stuff. I know the picture isn't very sharp. I worked on it and still can't get it to sharpen up. Please pretend you can see everything, ok??
Turns out, it's a bit too runny than I or my hubby like. Almost had to sieve the potatos, celery, onions to get them to the plate. The recipe asked for a LOT of mayonnaise, mustard, even apple cider vinegar. I chilled it in the fridge, hoping to firm it up, but, nope. Still runny.
However, it tastes DIVINE. Ever so yummy!!
I guess the upshot is, when you put this scrumptious salad on your plate, just know it's going to run all over the place, but, you will have a real palate pleaser!!

My Granny Cake. Looks Good, Doesn't It??
Yep, I made this today for hubby. It is his favorite cake. The recipe is about 100 years old. I found the recipe in an old family cookbook. Fairly simple to bake, and, with the poured on topping, it is scrumptious!!
The topping is made by boiling butter, sugar and evaporated milk, then pouring it over the hot cake. The topping soaks through the cake and you get YUM!!
This is my first picture to post where I've used the links at the top of the blog, so, I'm hoping this all turns out... *fingers crossed*
