Potato Salad

It's interesting how the littlest things bring back such wonderful (and sometimes hard to think about) memories. Making potato salad does that to me.

My grandmother's potato salad is my absolute favorite. I compare everyone else's potato salad to her's. When she started getting really sick, I decided I wanted to learn how to make it. I bought everything she told me and spend an afternoon with her and my grandpa making potato salad. I loved listening to her talk about how the potatoes were supposed to look and feel and how the sauce was supposed to look and taste. It was a whole new way of cooking for me.

As I made her potato salad for our Father's Day BBQ this morning, I couldn't but help think about my sweet grandma. She fought her breast cancer so hard. She told all of her doctors her goal was to be here when Colby was born. She fought so hard, but didn't quite make it. She passed away just three weeks before Colby got here.

It's amazing what a little potato salad will do. :)
