If you’ve ever been to a picnic, a church luncheon, or any backyard barbecue, chances are that you’ve had potato salad; but I’d wager that you’ve never had potato salad like this. Freshly squeezed lemon juice, spicy horseradish, savory dijon mustard, fresh cracked black pepper… I’ve got your attention now, don’t I. My sweet friend…
I have a confession to make. When I’m browsing bookstores, libraries, garage sales – I completely 100% judge a book by the cover. If the cover of the book doesn’t call out to me, chances are I won’t pick up the book. I absolutely love the cover of Vintage, it’s simple, stylish, and elegant. The…
