Mamaw makes hers like mashed potatoes and then adds mayo, mustard, onion, eggs, and pickles. I just can't ever get it quite right

Too funny, Mawmaw to my little boys makes hers about the same way!!!

Momma's almost is like a slaw sauce, a balance of sweet and vinegar, and it has radishes in it!

And I meant to say--- neither one has a "recipe" for it, just add this, add that, taste and adjust. No way to make it just like theirs! I changed Mommas to red potatoes with the skin on… that's what I like

Yum. Radishes! I think she probably adds dill seed too. it has a little texture.

Speaking of radishes. Saw a recipe for pickled radishes to can. I may have to try that this summer.

I like to think I am a fairly accomplished cook, but there are few things I can't do as well as my Mom. Macaroni & Cheese, scalloped potatoes and rice pudding are always better on her table. Now, bread pudding, I can pull off pretty well. Sausage gravy is my specialty!

That's how I am. Everything always seem to taste better when my aunt makes those dishes. Macaroni & cheese are my absolute fav! Now sausage gravy, that I can do. My kids love my potato salad. I don't cook these things much any more. Try to eat healthier the older I get! But sometimes, I get a hankerin for good old fashioned food! The kind grandma used to cook! yumm!

That's kinda how I make mine. I actually make the mayo, mustard and eggs like for deviled eggs. mash up the potatoes, add chopped onions and celery, pour mayo mix over and stir till well mixed. I occasionally use pickle relish, but they like it without. I may have to make some potatoe salad this week!

Yeah! Go for it.

By the way, how do you get the little emoticons?

I don't see a smiley. Just a B, a link, a pic, and an @.

Have a question for some of you that might be experienced with a broody.   We have had a broody on the nest for getting close to 4 weeks.  We went out to candle some of her eggs because first of all, she has been out there for a long time, and I don't believe she has been off but once in all that time  We put food and water next to her and I believe she is eating a little. I didn't think she probably had many eggs and not sure they would even be fertile.  But back to the candling. DH picked her up so I could start candling and there were 2 chicks out!!! One was very tiny, tiny head and bobbing around like it was very weak.  I don't think that one will make it.  But there were probably 12-14 eggs under her and I believe there are some rotten, because you could smell them! My question is, should we move her tomorrow with the eggs that haven't hatched, minus the smelly ones? She is not in a good place. By that, I mean she is in the barn in an empty nail bin that is about 6x14x3". It is about 3 feet off the floor, so I don't know how she planned to get them out of there!!

newly expierenced broody watcher here. Candle the eggs and take out the stinkers and quitters leave her be. make sure she has food and water. how old are the chicks? I know when I lifted up broody and there was a newly hatched baby it was pretty wobbly. I have read that it takes 3 days to absorb the yolk sack and they don't need food or wwater in that time. I waited two days and picked momma off the nest and showed the chicks water. Momma didn't like it much.
at three feet off the ground I watched mom jump of the coop porch (which is about 3 ft off the ground with 1 to three day olds in tow. The just followed right behind her. Now getting them back in the coop was another story.
