I have been using a paring knife for years, or a grater for things like slicing zukes or cucomber. But, My slicing is not pretty either so I broke down and purchased an adjustable mandolin from Dale.

Once it has a rolling boil, add the pasta. Leave for about 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness and softness. Once soft, but not falling apart, drain the water,(rinse if desired) Place pasta in a large bowl, adding mayo and the veggies little by little. Mixing gently, tasteing for more salt if needed. Keep adding pasta, mayo, veggies and salt until satisfied. Remember that it is best to make the night before, letting the flavors sit in, and in the morning, check for dryness or taste. Note” It is always better to be a little on the dry side, that way in the morning, you may add mor mayo because if you add to much then it is much difficult to make right;if this does happen, just boil more water and make more pasta. There is speaking grace. Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” ~Blessings, Sugar -----Original Message----- From: Helen Whitehead via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2016 4:15 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Helen Whitehead Subject: Re: [CnD] suggestions needed How about potato salad?

Does anyone have suggestions for something that is quick and easy to make that is also inexpensive and that doesn't take a long time to make please send.
