Ode to Potato Salad Bucket
Ode to Potato Salad (and How I Love thee)
Ode to potato salad,
And how I love thee,
For you are not only taste of summer,
But are light and creamy.
There’s nothing like having a bucket,
Of potato salad for your very own,
To turn dinner into simply scrumptious,
To a button popping conundrum.
Now this bucket can’t come from the grocery store,
Or even your local barbecue place,
It must come from the kitchen of someone you love,
A mom, a grandmother, aunt or anyone with a kind face.
For there’s nothing like digging into a cool bucket of potato salad,
That you don’t have to share,
Creamy goodness or vinegary bite,
Crunchy or soft,
Mustard or mayo,
Nothing matters but the tingle on your tounge,
this spudtastic delight.
And then you have the most brilliant idea,
You simply must shout,
“We shall have a potato salad party next Thursday–
Who’s up for it?”
Ode to potato salad,
And how I love thee,
For I’ll be waiting with my bucket,
At the potato salad party next Thursday.
Won’t you join me?
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! A new Friday Five!

I love potato salad and this is so cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I want to answer your question about whole wheat flour vs. almond flour. Almond flour has become very popular with anyone who wants to omit gluten from their diet. My husband and I have been trying a 6 month experiment to see if if makes a difference with the way we feel, cravings, etc. Almond flour is just finely ground almonds and does make a nice substitute for any kind of flour in the right recipe. It tends to be more crumbly and moist so it’s not for all recipes. Since this recipe had oats, the flour aspect was small. Hope that answers that! I wish you luck on the peanut butter giveaway!

I actually can’t stand potato salad, but I love everything else about a BBQ. I love taking walks in the evening and smelling all the grilling going on. Just love the smells of summer!

Ooh, potato salad. My mom makes the best potato salad. I should ask her to make me a batch.

I would totally come to the party and bring my warm potato salad with asparagus and lemon tarragon vinaigrette. I got it off Bits and Bread Crumbs and I adore it! What a fun idea! Your blog is always such a happy place.

Oh yes, I will be there!!!

I love your odes Duckie! They always put a smile on my face

So funny. But I don’t like potato salad. Not much of a picnic foods girl unless it is simple like Watermelon. Now that I think about it, I sound like my girls who don’t like foods with too many ingredients!
June 22nd, 2012 at 12:22 pm
I would love to join your party! I haven’t made potato salad yet this year. It sounds perfect right now!
June 22nd, 2012 at 1:16 pm
I LOVE any and all potato salads! Except the store kind. You’re right it must be homemade!
June 22nd, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Yum, I love potato salad! Homemade is the best
June 25th, 2012 at 1:00 am
button-popping conundrum indeed! i don’t like a super-mayonnaisey potato salad–mustard’s more my style!
June 25th, 2012 at 10:28 am
I’ll join you! I love a good potato salad. SO YUMS!
June 25th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
There is nothing better than good homemade potato salad…yum!
June 25th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
I agree – nothing tastes as good as a treat from the kitchen of someone you love.
