Maybe we need to make up a whole bunch of different potato salad recipes and compare them. mmmmm.

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.
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.

Although ... if you're doing a menu of all-one-color foods, it might be useful.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My boss just wondered if he put his foot in his mouth calling me and the male developer "guys." Dude, you told me not to wear underwear as outerwear this morning. I think we're good.
Hell, the I've just realised the rest of the project team seems to have loosened up exponentially. I now know who has twitter, the f-bomb has been tossed, not to mention I've been pointed towards a NSFW video. This is what the weeks before go-live to do to people, huh?
Still, I totally effed up in not telling him something important ahead of time. I feel like a doof. Bad PM! Bad, bad PM!

I'm getting the pig!
Thank you, Liese, I think. I just ordered a Fizzy Water / Soda kit from SodaStream. Definitely more than I was expecting to spend today but damn if it won't save me a ton of money in the long run. For some reason I never realized before that they had cola-similar options as well. Nifty!
DH drinks a TON of soda and I will NOT miss the various cans and plastic bottles left around the house or filling up the recycle containers.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and I will NOT miss the various cans and plastic bottles left around the house or filling up the recycle containers.
And I won't miss lugging those bottles home either.
Given that we're on our first heatwave, I just wish I already had mine. Fizzy ftw.
