Happy Wednesday, my friends. Aren't these flowers sweet? Madison brought them and arranged them in this cute Mason Jar. They make me happy every time I see them.
I had a few questions about the creamed lettuce and potatoes we had on Mother's Day, and I am always happy to share the recipe! I first tried this amazing dish when I was dating Steve, and his mom, who we always called Mum, made it during the summers. Mum was an excellent cook and somehow threw together a delicious meal in no time without relying on any recipe. Steve has perfected his Mum's creamed lettuce and potatoes and is passing the unwritten recipe onto our children. If you want to try it, this is all you do. We only make it when garden lettuce and baby potatoes are in season. That is the best!
Rinse and pat dry your garden lettuce. Mix some mayonnaise with some regular vinegar. Use less vinegar, and stir until creamy. Chop some green onions and put them in. Pour this over the lettuce and refrigerate. Boil some baby potatoes, drain, cut, and fry until crispy. Place potatoes on your plate and top with the creamed lettuce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy! We add this to any summer meal.
I mean, how could you not?!?!
Well, it's time for me to get going. I need to wash my face, do something with my hair, put on my uniform for the day—an oversized crewneck and yoga pants—make my bed, and get breakfast. I make it a point to do this every day, even when I know I won't be going out. My sweet mom always said, " If you look good, you do good. And if you do good, you feel good! " Moms are always right!
