🥔🥔Residents recently headed south to tour the Andy Griffith museum in Mount Airy, NC. Our residents recognize many items from the set.
🥔🥔Our afternoon included a tribute to Aunt Bee, who is fondly remembered for the warmth and charm she brought to her role. She is also remembered for excellent cooking and baking skills. There actually is a Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cook filled with many of her favorite recipes.
🥔🥔The residents were treated to homemade potato salad, which was made using potatoes that John Enander had grown in his garden. They were without a doubt some of the nicest potatoes that I have ever worked with.
🥔🥔John's son, Tom, is a potato farmer at Grenora and John mentioned that the seed came from Tom.
🥔🥔People love good potato salad and on this day there was plenty of discussion on what makes for delicious tasting potato salad.
Residents stated that the potato salad has to christen with just the right amount of onions-not too sharp, not too shy-rather a gentle bite that makes all flavors sing. The dressing should hug everything together, creamy, but not heavy and certainly not runney. Plenty of eggs and combined with patience and a practiced hand.
🥔🥔All the potato salad was eaten and when the plates were empty and the memories gently set down, everyone agreed on one thing: some recipes don't just feed the body...they bring back a host of wonderful memories.
🥔🥔Thank you, John, for raising and sharing such beautiful potatoes.
