I counted at least 7 hot dishes on the above table! In the little swim pool to the right were the cold foods including the dish to which this blog is dedicated. The other table shown below was laden with the cool meat and cheese trays, salads, deserts and that kind of stuff. The red table was covered with a near a dozen or so types of homemade cookies and bars.
When Bliss and Larry throw a Graduation party they make sure no one goes away hungry......even four days later! In the days after the party we managed to get most of the large catering size dishes down to nothing or nearly so but not so for the potato salad! The potato salad was too far down the line to attract much attention from the party people. Most of them had their plates heaped with turkey and mashed potatoes and green salad and sausage or whatever and simply had to leave the poor potato salad sit. Well, on Sunday we 7 or so adults who were staying at the farm vowed to take on the potato salad so we slightly enlarged the hole in the corner of the tray. On Monday at lunch time we decided to open a pit in another corner of the tray to make it seem like we were getting fresh potato salad. Well along came Monday at 6:30 pm and the potato salad was at the table again so we opened another corner, the third corner! Guess what, on Tuesday the potato salad was at the table again so we opened the 4th corner! Now all four corners had been sampled! Do you think we got rid of the potato salad now? Oh no, not on Bliss's dead body in the Christmas Tree Patch would anything be thrown out. It had to be eaten so there it appeared at the July 4th picnic! And where did we serve from then? Well, how about making a hole in the center of the tray! Just like fresh we enjoyed potato salad with our brats and other picnic fixings! But I would guess that Bliss and Marv, the only folks left there on the farm, will be eating potato salad till nearly Labor Day! Maybe I'll stop in for some next month!
