Believe it or not, we didn't fly once! I did show off my pit though We had a great time talking sims, a few threads, global warming, de-salinization, living on the moon, the Marianas (sp?) Trench... All kinds of good stuff! Although a LAN party would be a BLAST too! The fellowship was the key. We all have common interests, and you'd be surprised how much in common we all have. Now, something we observed, some people like the fact that through the internet they can remain somewhat anynomous. Come on people! Get out of those shells! Have a BBQ or 2!

Okay 20mm ya twisted my arm enough...

Ghost's Potato Salad:

5 lbs red potatos
2 stalks celery
2 slices (from the middle of) a bermuda onion (purple)
1 lbs bacon
16 oz sour cream
10 eggs (hard boiled)
2 cans olives
12 oz Mayonase

Season salt to taste.

Wash and cut the potatos into bite size pieces, do not peel the potatos.

Place the cut potatos and unboiled eggs into a pot of water. Insure the water covers both the potatos and eggs.

Bring to a boil and set your timer for 10 minutes.

While you are waiting for potatos and eggs to boil, dice the onion slices and celery stalks place into a LARGE mixing bowl. Then, OPEN the can of olives and cut each olive in half, placing the halved olives into the bowl.

Fry the bacon 'til crispy and let drain onto a paper towl/plate.

Once the bacon has cooled, break it up into the mixing bowl.

Now, your timer should have gone off or close to it. Pour the contents (potatos/eggs) into a large strainer you've placed into your sink. Remove the eggs and set to the side.

Allow the potatos to cool to around room temprature before you add them into the mixing bowl.

Remove the shell and slice the eggs into small pieces, yolk and all and put the sliced egg into the mixing bowl.

Mix the celery, bacon, olive, onion and egg mixture together. Then, add your potatos. Keep mixing until the contents are evenly distributed.

Cover and let stand in the fridge for a few hours.

After standing a few hours, remove from the frodge. Mix in the sour cream and mayo, CONSUME POTATO salad!

Enjoy!

OHHHHHHHHHH, you OPEN the cans of olives first! Got it, important culinary tip there.

mmmmmmmm, sounds good! I love potato salad, in fact there's a batch of my wife's in the fridge right now. She uses russet potatoes and in this batch not enough mustard for my taste, but hey.

I'll give this one a go next time out, thanks Ghost.

Just saved that recipe, ironically enough on my Delicious account. Thanks. That will come in handy when we move into our new house and can bbq.

We can see now where yours truly got a little confused with the olive cans.

A fact further explained by this image of our chef for the day:

That potato salad sounds (and looks) good there Ghost!
I have a potato salad recipe that is somewhat similar to yours, only without eggs, sour cream and olives, and with red onion and apples and LOTS of mayonnaise instead. That's a great combination of tastes actually. You should try that with yours Maybe best if you remove the olives and celery then, otherwise it would taste somewhat strange

Looks like you guys had a great time. Sometimes I get the feeling I live on the wrong continent!

Date and place, please!

Hmmm, I smell the First Norwegian SimHQ BBQ taking shape
We could go fly, then visit the museum at Gardermoen, then BBQ Anybody else wanna join?

A BT-13A dressed up up to look like a D3 Val and traffic on my way home.
The BT-13 was used in the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora."


There was a bus accident that shut down the freeway on my way home.
I had a great time and I am looking forward to doing it again.
Fwy closures or not.


Happy birthday Ghost.
