Just a 'here's what I ate' type post. Trying to get my five-a-day all in one go, right at the start:
So, I think I mentioned a while ago that Taryn had sent me some amazing blackberry jam. It's made by Mountain Fruit Co. Much to my delight, I discovered yesterday that the brand is sold in Lund's/Byerly's (and possibly elsewhere) here in Minnesota! I bought a jar of the strawberry-rhubarb and had to try it out this morning, even though the blackberry isn't quite finished yet. I daresay that Mountain Fruit Co. has started a jam revolution for me.
Because I'm a slave to my whims, I made potato salad for lunch:
I used equal parts Nayonaise and Sour Supreme, so it WOULD be vegan. . . if it weren't for the boiled egg I added. I didn't have any fresh dill, so I minced up a tiny dill pickle and threw that in (along with some minced red onion, a pinch of paprika, and salt/pepper). It tasted of summer. I ate it alongside a lettuce and spinach salad with broccoli, sweet corn, and fake ham, which made for a really nice warm-weather lunch. I wonder what'll happen when I step out into the below-freezing temperatures outside...
Glad you liked the jam. I tried to find at least one thing that was local to send you. I have their strawberry-rhubarb jam and love it too!
I normally can't stomach the regular potato salad stuff that you can find everywhere, but your version looks scrumptious!

mmmm, those potatoes look good! although I'm guessing that nayonaise is some sort of an artificial rayon-substitute, so you may be able to make a tasty blouse also. man, you are crafty!

hopefully the cold won't shock your system too much after all that summery goodness! while I don't have potato potatoes at home... I might have to try your sweet potato suggestion from an earlier post tonight.
