AUNTIE ANDI'S EGG SALAD FOR LITTLE'S LITTLE #1 LONGMEADOW
Bubba has chickens and he sells his eggs to the local neighbors. There are times when a couple of his hens lay a good amount of "green-tinted" eggs that some don't care for. I guess they don't like brown eggs either, but it is wonderful for us on Longmeadow Farm.Starting early Spring, and through the summer, we make a lot of egg salad. We have eggs everywhere! This is the simple, but lovely egg salad I serve on Saturday Lunch at the Farm. The toast brings a heavenly smell all around the kitchen and the fresh basil or chives bring such color to this simple salad. On the farm we pretty much prefer the no extra use of mayonnaise, but add a bit of salt to taste and some bean sprouts and a couple of UTZ potato chips and we are set to go. This all gets washed down with a simple ice tea that has some fresh peppermint just picked from the garden and life is good once again *NOTE* the title changed as my new name adopted by littlemafia's dear daughter wanted to have some of: "Auntie Andi Egg Salad" - so the whole name stuck.

Steps:
- Hard boil the egg; placing the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2-inch. Bring water to a very gentle boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly (in pot) 12 minutes. After the time has passed place cooked eggs in a bowl of ice water ready until ready for use.
- Crack egg and peel shell off. In a medium mixing bowl, place eggs in bowl and smash with a fork. You want chunks of both yellow and white. Do not over mash.
- Add mayonnaise starting with 1 teaspoon. If you want more, go ahead and add, although I am a less mayonnaise type of gal.
- Use the mayonnaise just enough to get the eggs to stay together.
- Add salt and pepper as you prefer. I prefer to add salt, (1/8 teaspoon coarse salt to taste). I prefer lots of pepper too however; you chose what you like best. I start with 1/8 teaspoon and go up from there.
- Gently add celery and basil or chives if using.
- Toast bread until medium dark. I place one or two lettuce leaves on toast (dry) then top with egg and bean sprouts. I don't use mayonnaise or anything on either side of toast, again your preference here. I really like the egg salad to shine through and not be overtaken by more mayonnaise or butter.
- Top with lid, mash down a bit, and take a deep bite. Oh yum!

MUSTARD OF FUN POTATO SALAD FROM THE LONGMEADOW FARM
How in the world does a potato salad become fun? It is fun for various reasons, one because potatoes by their very unusual nature are fun. They grow away peacefully slumbering in the ground, not really caring or observant of the world above them. They are funny looking oval creatures that are dirty, grimy, and don't always smell that great upon harvest. But there is nothing better then digging potatoes, although back breaking at times, the happiness one can appreciate when finally touching the big vegetable waiting as a ripe egg under the deep dark earth, to delight your taste buds, and bring wonderful nourishment to your body and soul. And hey, this little recipe has no mayonnaise, no egg, but lots of flavor. Enjoy, and remember how the potato got its start. I use Recipe #43522 by Bev for my Italian Dressing. Oh my, but this is delicious!
