I can heat anything from a can - using the microwave!!!! Everyone says my husband is a better cook than me,,, and there's a good reason why: I can't follow recipe directions because I always think that "more is better". More spice, more water, more yeast, more, more, more...................

I stay out of the kitchen, except to clean up the mess my hubby makes when cooking us a meal.

Granny Annie's Potato Salad

About 3 pounds of red potatoes (some people call then "new" potatoes)
(red potatoes have less starch than "brown" ones)
1 small onion (any kind), minced (chopped very fine)
5 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish
4 tablespoons yellow mustard or 2 tablespoons yellow mustard power
1/4 cup heavy cream or 3 tablespoons mayonnaise/miracle whip
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Black pepper (to taste)
Salt (to taste)

Clean potatoes and cut into large cubes (usually just cut in 1/4's. Place in large pan and fill with water until top of potatoes are covered.

Boil potatoes until just done (fork goes in, but potato does not break). Stir occasionally to keep from burning bottom potatoes.

Drain potatoes.

Mix all other ingredients in a large bowl, until blended. Put in potatoes and mix well.
Mix until the desired consistency. If you want creamy potato salad, then use a food processor.

Serve warm or place in fridge overnight.
