I think Greek yogurt also has less sugar than the regular stuff. Mostly I buy it because I'm lazy.

Cook's Country/Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen drives me nut with their potato salads! They have one from each publication (possibly more) called "All-American Potato Salad," each with slightly different ingredients and a long screed on why potato X is the only potato worthy of being used in a potato salad. Except they each use different potatoes! Argh!

This episode said that Yukon Golds were good because they held their shape and had more flavor than either reds or russets, which is why they were better for potato salad in particular.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Maybe we need to make up a whole bunch of different potato salad recipes and compare them. mmmmm.

Yeah, they've got articles on Red Bliss and russets that say exactly the same thing. I conclude from this that all potatoes are pretty freaking delicious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My only advice for a vinaigrette-based salad is not to use balsamic, like I did, because while delicious, it makes the potatoes ugly.

I just spent about ten seconds in the kitchen decanting the ice cream from the ice cream maker into a freezing container and ZOMGWTFHEAT. I scooped as fast as I could and still wound up pouring ice cream soup into the tupperware. We'll see how it turns out.
My bedroom AC tells me it's down to 82 in here and it feels heavenly.
