Magic Potato Salad


Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

Thought it might be fun to share "MY" version of dynamite potato salad.

First a couple of things...

One, I do NOT peal my potato!
Second, I cut my potato's up first and boil in salted water. Old way was to peal the skins, boil the potato and then cut it up. MUCH faster to cut raw, and boil till done.

O.K. so grab some potatoes, 6-8 or more and cut and boil in salted water

1/2 pound of BACON cut into 1 inch pieces and fried up, drain on paper towel

While potatoes are boiling in "KangenWaterMagic" (of course) I'm prepping the salad (Be sure to always rinse your veggies in www.KangenWaterMagic.net to remove the oil based pestisides.

Here's a trick I learned and it really makes all your ingredients taste better and combines w/potatos much better.

Mix all of the following ingredients together first!

1 medium Red Onion chopped well
2-3 stalks of celery chopped well
4-6 sweet pickles cut up small size
1/4 cup of black olives cut into 4th if they are whole pitted
3 fresh eggs hard boiled and cut up into bit size (boiled in Kangen Water 9.5 pH)
Your favorite mustard about 1/4 cup
Mayonnaise about 1.5 cups
1 tbs Whole Caraway Seeds
Fresh Cracked Salt and Pepper to taste
Dash of Celery Salt if you like

Now you basically have your dressing, add your drained chopped cooked potatoes and bacon, mix well, Refridgerate, and ENJOY!

P.S. it usually won't last too long!

The Kitchen Prayer


Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

My dear departed aunt "Velma" had this hanging on a plaque in her kitchen and she'd had it for years. While I had a visit to the Fairmont in San Francisco and shook hands and actually had a conversation with Henry Kissenger that summer of 2003, I took some Stationary and on the way back to Phoenix, stopped in Morro Bay California costal town and visited Aunt Velma. She wrote the poem for me on that piece of The Fairmont San Francisco stationary... I share it now with you.

The Kitchen prayer...
God bless my little kitchen
I love it's every nook
And Bless me as I do my work
wash pots and pans and cook

And may the meals that I prepare
Be seasoned from above
with thy blessing and thy grace
But most of all thy Love

As we take of earthly foods
The table for us spread
Will not forget to thank thee Lord
Who gave us daily bread

So bless my little kitchen, God
And those who enter in
May they find naught
But joy and peace
And Happiness there'in
