My friends had issued me a challenge and I decided to take it on. Well it wasn’t so much as a challenge, but more of a request to make potato soup. But knowing me, they figured that I would do something outside of your typical potato soup. Well they knew me well, and I really didn’t disappoint them the slightest. The only problem I had with this soup, is that I didn’t make enough of it.

Price Range : Mid-range Cuisine : Asian and Western Recommended For : A cosy date Catphobia-Friendly? : Yes We used to visit Kokopelli quite frequently back when it was located near University Hospital, long ago.

Here is my version of my grandmother's lost German potato salad recipe. This recipe makes a big batch, so it's perfect for taking to picnics or potlucks. Try and make this the day before, since the longer it stays in the refrigerator, the more pronounced the flavors become. The vinegar that is added to the dressing, gives the salad a nice tangy flavor. What you'll need: 1-ten pound bag of potatoes 9 eggs 1 jar of a good quality mayonnaise (we use Best Foods, also called Hellmann's east of the ... read more »
