LEarringsYesterday we went to the mall and our 15 and 17 year old daughters had their ears double-pierced. Their ears were first pierced when they were little girls in Ethiopia, so it was really fun for me to be there when they had this second set done. They’d been wanted to do it for awhile and were thrilled that Dad said yes.
Today we’re scurrying around getting ready for a barbecue after church on Sunday– our usual clan, plus some of our college-sons’ friends from church. Should be good fun! I’m going to try this potato salad recipe recommended by my MIL. Since I despise mayo with a passion, I rarely make potato salad, but this one is mayo-free AND has bacon in it!. We’ll give it a whirl. I’ll add a picture once I make it.
German Potato Salad
Serves 10-12
8-10 medium potatoes (white or red) baked in their skin
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
10 strips of bacon, diced and cooked until brown
1 large white onion, minced, and fried in bacon grease til tender
2 T. cornstarch
2/3 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
2 T. sugar
2 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
Peel and cube potatoes once they’re cooled enough to handle. Combined potatoes and fresh parsley. Fry diced bacon in skillet until just brown and remove bacon to a bowl. Leave about 1/4 cup of bacon grease in the skillet and fry onion until soft. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and water. Add to onion mixture in skillet and cook until it thickens. Pour hot dressing over parsley/potato mixture. Add bacon. Serve at room temperature.
Finally, I have a question about biographies for you all. One of my daughters just read The Hawk That Dare Not Hunt by Day, a slightly fictionalized biography about William Tyndale. I thought it was a really worthwhile read, and would love to find other similar biographies for my teenagers to read. Do you have any recommendations?
UPDATE: WE DID IT
Stretch Goals:
$35 - I will make 4x as much Potato Salad. I know $40 isn't 4x $10, but you guys have earned it.
$75 - Pizza Party!
$100 - I will try two different Potato Salad recipes.
UPDATE #2: ALL THE POTATO THAT'S FIT TO PRINT
We made the news. Let's keep up the good work! New stretch goals coming soon!

UPDATE #3: WOW YOU GUYS
We're making a lot of great progress. I think it's time for us to think about getting hats made. I added a new donor level for people who want hats. For those who are interested the hats could look like this: http://www.zazzle.com/i_love_potato_salad_mesh_hat-148005376484063142
Stretch goals:
$250 - Better mayonnaise (from the natural foods section)
$300 - Call a chef to get a better recipe
$350 - Make way more potato salad and probably do a third recipe.
WE MADE THE NEWS!

NEW STRETCH GOALS:
$1000: I'll do a live stream of the potato salad making
$1200: I'll pay someone to film a thank-you video for all of my backers!
A BIG STRETCH GOAL:
We're really tearing through these stretch goals. I honestly don't know what is realistic anymore. So, I thought maybe we try to double the current number?
$3000: My kitchen is too small! I will rent out a party hall and invite the whole internet to the potato salad party (only $10 and above will be allowed in the kitchen)! The internet loves potato salad! Let's show them that potato salad loves the internet!!
Risks and challenges
It might not be that good. It's my first potato salad.

FAQ
So, is the pizza party going to have potato salad at it?
What type of potato salad? Mustard/mayo based? Vinegar? German?
Umm yes, what KIND of potatoes will you be using? I only support Idaho potatoes.
What types of ingredients are appropriate?
Will you be making your own mayo? If it will be store bought, can i choose the brand? Is Shipping to Canada included in the $20 pledge level?
so wait, I thought the $3 pledge included you spoon feeding each of us a bite of the potato salad no matter where we lived?
I really dislike the mayo potato salad, but I like the vinegar based one. I can't morally support this project if it is going the direction of mayo. Do you think maybe you could make a few batches of potato salad instead and make one the way I want?
Where are you located? I would totally come to this party if I was close!
Will there be a vegan option available?
Will you be video taping the potato salad making process and uploading it to a video site for backers to see that you have indeed, said the names out loud?
Yes! A group has asked if they can film the process and I said, "Yes".
