fourth of july

I have always enjoyed July 4th, an almost non-Hallmark holiday. The Paulist family usually hosted barbeques that were known to result in things like sparklers catching someone's dress on fire. This activity in a county where all fireworks were forbidden and where many members of the local fire department were in attendance. So in the family tradition we are celebrating today, with a small party hoping to enjoy grilled hotdogs, beans, and potato salad.

A good potato salad has been a goal of the Rettie household for a long time. Something we have yet to achieve, until perhaps, dare I say, today. After a weeks of scouring the internet for various recipes Mike and I settled upon the above. Which is a combination of all of our research. It's currently festering in the frig. Before I forget what we both did here is a list of the ingredients:
red potatoes
a can of black olives (sliced)
chopped red onion
chopped radishes
chopped dill pickle
additional pickle juice
apple cider vinegar
mayo
dijon mustard
salt and pepper
After it festers we will taste again and perhaps add some more salt and pepper.

I'm going to bake a peach pie, so no one will go hungry.And here it is:
