For this AWESOME Potato Salad:

From the Store:
2 pounds small red potatoes
1 large avocado
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon (or less) Herbamare or sea salt
1½ teaspoons maple syrup or liquid sweetener (optional, to balance the acidic lemon and spicy mustard)
Freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup fresh dill, packed and then chopped
½ bunch green onions (green part), sliced
3 stalks celery, trimmed and sliced
½ white onion, diced

Directions: 

1. Wash the potatoes and cut out any bad spots or eyes. Steam gently for about ten minutes, until just fork tender through the center. Immediately run under cold water to prevent further cooking.

2. For best results, refrigerate the cooked potatoes for about an hour. (This ensures they don't fall apart when slicing.)

3. Quarter the potatoes and peel if desired. Place in a large bowl.

4. Peel and mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, mustard, paprika, Herbamare or salt, and maple syrup (if using), and stir into the avocado to create a dressing. Season with pepper to taste.

5. Add the dill, green onion, celery, onion, and avocado dressing to the potatoes. Toss gently until everything is coated. Taste test and adjust seasonings if desired.

6. Serve the same day, or refrigerate and serve the next day, (as the avocado darkens and breaks down quickly).

Nonnie's Noodles shared by Aunt Elsie


1 Egg
1/2 Egg Shell Water
Beat together and add 1/2 cup flour and mix well.  Add more flour as needed on mixing board. Roll thin. Let dry enough to cut. Usually this is about 1/2 hour.

Then roll up to cut.
When cooking, add salt to water. 
Note: "Gladys, I'm sure you can show her. Have fun and if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." 

This was sent right after I got married in 1971. I was trying hard to prepare things as my mother before me and her mother before her.  My grandmother immigrated to the USA in 1917, I think. I may be off a year. Many recipes have been handed down over the generations and years. I remember my mother and grandmother placing cup towels across the back of chairs and placing the noodles over them to dry. Wish I had pictures of the process but that was 50 plus years ago.
