dear self:
you do not, in fact, have a single bowl big enough to make five pounds of potato salad. oh, you can fit five pounds of sliced potatoes into the silver bowl, but nothing else. and stirring them is out of the question. you'll only end up with hot sliced potatoes on the floor.
speaking of hot potatoes, peel them over the garbage disposal. with a knife and not the peeler. and let them cool down first. a lot.
also, "to taste" is mom recipe trickery, meaning she'll never tell you exactly how she does it. and, as much as you want to treat your friends to the best potato salad they have ever had, and as hard as you tried to beat the trickery with intuition, your potato salad will never be as good as mom's. oh, it'll be good, but mom is magic and that is that.
oh, and drink more beer and worry less.
love,
tomorrow

I was having a sushi craving and nowhere I know of that has good sushi is open for lunch on Sundays so I cheated and let Whole Foods make some for me. While I was there I picked up some tilapia for tomorrow and the celery I need for my potato salad. I also picked up mayonnaise because it was the only ingredient I still needed. Well, Whole Food brand mayo is not even close to the super fatty eggy goodness that is Hellman's (or Weggies store brand) mayo and my potato salad now tastes funny.
