Summer recipes... please share.

Bacon Potato Salad

5 lb red potatoes, boiled, sliced
1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream*
1/2 lb bacon, fried**, drained, crumbled
2 hard boiled eggs, diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1 packet Ranch Dressing mix

Mix potatoes, mayonnaise, sour cream, bacon, eggs, celery, and dressing mix. Add equal parts of more mayo and sour cream if not moist enough. Put in bowl, chill.

*Low fat sour cream works fine. If lower fat mayonnaise is needed, substitute only half the Hellman's for light. The Hellman's has the best flavor.

**Can use turkey bacon or Morningstar Farms veggie bacon, both are good.


Spaghetti Salad

1 jar Wishbone Italian dressing
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian dressing
1/2 jar Salad Supreme spices by McCormicks

Mix all of above.

Add:
2 tomatoes, cut up
1 green pepper, cut up
Sliced cucumber

Let marinate overnight. Then, add to 16 ounces fresh cooked spaghetti (any pasta will work). Drain well. Serve cold.

Absolut Lemonade Punch recipe

15 oz Absolut vodka
7 1/2 oz triple sec
7 oz 7-Up soda
4 oz lemon juice
1 lemon
sweet and sour mix
1/2 - 1 cup sugar
1/8 oz grenadine syrup

Pour vodka, triple sec, 7-up, and lemon juice into a 64 ounce container. Slice a lemon, add, then almost-fill with sweet and sour mix. Add sugar and a touch of grenadine, and shake well. Serve into highball glasses. Stir or shake well with each serving to circulate the sugar.

Spicy Shrimp Fajitas

8 Flour tortillas
2 Green onions sliced
3 Tbls Lime juice
1 tsp Oil
1 Clove garlic minced or pressed (i use more)
1/2 tsp ground Cumin (bulk spices for like thirty cents and oz.)
1/2 tsp ground Coriander (bulk spices for like thirty cents and oz.)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 lb deviened raw shrimp (31-40 per pound)
1 med. ripe avocado
1/2 cup sour cream

Radish and tomato salso
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
3 medium tomatoes
1/2 cup minced red or white onion (I use both)
1 fresh Jalepeno chile, seeded and minced

Okay, so in a bowl mix all of the stuff for the radish and tomato salsa

in another bowl, mix everything except sour cream and avocados
let it set for 5 minutes throw it in a frying pan over medium heat and cook til shrimp ar opaque in the center (3-4 minutes)

Put it in some totillas with the sour cream, avocado, and Radish tomato salsa.
It may look complicated (or not) but it only takes about five minutes, and way way worth it.

YOU ROCK

I am a winter person... I don't like summer... Everyone gets all like.. "Lets go out into the sun and go swimming" Then i did and they are like " OMFG... But your shirt back on, your blinding us..." And I am like " yea, well frag off smeg-haeds.. U dragged me out of bed and into this.."

That is my recipe for disaster.. You don't take a wshingtonian out of his comfortable 65 degree rainy days.. You just don't do it.
