Happy Friday!

Well, I finally picked a perfect day to take a vacation day -- it's warm, sunny and beautiful. Almost too hot to do all the yard work I'm getting ready to start, but beggars can't be choosers.
I did check my voicemail at work and wanted to pass along that the health department folks called me back today. First thing Monday I'll share with you their take on this glove issue.
Thanks to everyone for chiming in on the topic. It seems to be a perfect item for discussion -- just about everyone has had a new and valid point to raise. Cheers to that!
This weekend, I plan to make my family's favorite red-skinned potato salad, complete with green vidalias and fresh eggs I bought on the market. Paired with some barbecued chicken and homemade cole slaw, I think we'll have a suitable spring feast.
If I'm lucky, maybe I'll find some morels when I go out hunting on Sunday. It may be too late in the season but I'm hoping all the rain showers and these days of warm sun will still have them popping up on the forest floor. Cross your fingers!
Have a great weekend!

On my husband's hunting excursion last weekend, he reported seeing morels! While it hasn't been the wettest spring, they are out there! Have a great weekend!

When you speak to the health dept. I would love to know the specs on meat slicers as far as if they should be cleaned between different types of meat. ie sliced turkey then sliced ham. etc. Deli slicers are starting to gross me out out these Groc. stores. Never cleaned until the end of the day!

Lindsey, could you post your/a recipe for the red-skinned potato salad? My mother makes the best homemade potato salad but doesn't use red potatoes,which I think makes the dish look delectable.
