Every damn year, I do the same thing. I forget that I need a little bit more than one container of miracle whip and have to go out to get more. What annoyed me even more this year was that my potatoes went off and I had already went up to the store to get more. With a three year old in tow, the corner grocery store is a daunting task, especially without a cart( the place was packed). I'm not peeling another damn potato till Easter 🙂

I feel for you. I had a 40-minute wait in line today at a store, and I just kept praying my thanks that I had the 8-year-old with me, and not the 2-year-old. In your position, I probably would have passed on the trip to the store and just used fewer potatoes. (Or I would've committed the ultimate heresy and added a tiny bit of mayo or sour cream to make up for the missing MW). You're a better woman than I am.

I would have, had I not used up the mayo last week when I made some salmon patties 🙂

I find taking a four year old anyplace is a great adventure!! Look at it in a positive light.. learning activities abound!! Do you serve potato salad for christmas? Is that a family custom? Very unusual. I like Hellmanns though! LOL

Tee hee hee. I know what you mean. I just hate to peel potatoes.
Do y'all peel the potatoes for potato salad before you cook them or after you cook them?

hehe. I'm with you, Chris. I would have been cheating big time if I had only needed a little. In addition to mayo or sour cream.. ... thinned the MW with milk. ... added Ranch or Coleslaw (comes mayo based in a bottle) dressing. ...made a little mayo with eggs and oil. I absolutely hate having to run to the store at the last minute during the holidays. It not only stresses me out, it just seems to totally ruin my schedule.

My Grandmother in-law used to make it at Christmas and Easter. I make it now. My family customs for Christmas are my father [censored] about everything being closed and maybe seeing a movie 🙂

But I thought that's what Jewish people did on Christmas, get Chinese food (pork is okay on christmas, it's a kosher exception day) and go to the movies, no?

I'm not serving it for Christmas. It would go wierd under the turkey gravy. ;-) But I'm making a big batch sometime next week. A belated Christmas gift to Crash. He says my potato salad is just like his mom's. One difference. I don't mix mine with my hands. We are in custody of his mom's big yellow Pyrex potato salad bowl. *smile*

Before on this end. We use russets, and that would make a hideous mess of the cooking water.
Mom always cooked her red potatoes along wtih the hard boiled eggs. Then she'd slide the skins off of the potatoes. Wish I had the confidence to boil eggs and potatoes together and have the eggs turn out right.
Russets soak up more flavor than the reds. And they don't require much chewing because of their tendency to get a little fluffy.

Dance naked on a table top at your favorite Chinese restaurant. With pictures.

I most certainly am. Miracle Whip is nasty in my NSHO.
