We will likely upload some “post-mortem” Carpmas stuff tomorrow… on… ummm… well we could call it Day 11… but we won’t!  

We are having Wild Pacific Salmon for Dinner (in lieu of carp).

Happy Carpmas!

Albert and his beautiful Mother-In-Law, Marcela, prepare carp and potato salad for a scrumptious Christmas Eve Dinner, 2007.

 

I found this recipe for Potato Salad that I am going to serve up with our Christmas Eve Carp-style meal. It won’t be Carp… but rather Salmon.

 

 

Chunky Potato Salad

  • 6 cups cubed cooked potatoes
  • 4 large boiled eggs
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • ¼ cup sliced radishes (optional)
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp parsley

Place in bowl and chill. (Approx 20 minutes)

Dressing:

  • 1 cup Miracle Whip
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • ¼ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp onion powder

Stir together in bowl. Mix into potato mixture.

Sprinkle crumbled bacon or bacon bits on top.

 

 

Had to improvise so that Tom would eat it. He does not believe that mayonnaise has any business being anywhere near a potato. No mayo - just more cream and vinegar instead.
