If what you want to dice is more oval or long than round, and let's add square in shape like luncheon meat, cut vertically with a good sharp vegetable knife into strips. Then turn the strips 90 degrees, or so that the cut edges are lined up perpendicularly. Then cut from right to left while the meat or vegetable strips are still on the counter. Depending upon the size of dice you want, for small, cut moving the knife very slightly as you go across, making small strips; then do the same when you turn the meat or veg around. Do this turning using both hands and carefully moving the whole slice as described above. To dice round vegetables or meat, slice one slice at a time, and dice as described above. Hope this helps.

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.
