My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Mediterranean Potato Salad

Nice change of pace potato salad. As soon as I saw "capers" I was in. I reduced the mayo and added sour cream, maybe a couple of tablespoons or so.

Mediterranean Potato Salad

1 pound whole tiny new potatoes
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
1/2 small red onion, sliced and separated into rings
3 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped

Put potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut potatoes into quarters and place in a bowl. In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and pepper. Stir in the olives, capers, both onions and eggs. Add to the potatoes and toss. Chill for 4 hours.
