1 head lettuce
2 to 3 stalks celery, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, diced
1 box frozen peas, rinsed under hot water and drained
1 pt. or less Miracle Whip
2 T. sugar
Cheddar cheese, grated
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Layer each ingredient in order listed. Sprinkle sugar over Miracle Whip. Refrigerate.
Fresh cucumbers, peeled and sliced (as thick as you want)
Sweet onion, thinly sliced into rings
When you start making dinner, put 1 tablespoon salt in bottom of a 1-quart bowl and fill bowl half full of water. Stir to dissolve. Add cucumbers and chill (10 to 15 minutes), or if you need to hurry, add ice cubes to bowl for 5 minutes. This is where everyone so far has agreed upon the process.
AUNT ELAINE: Drain cucumbers in a colander, do not rinse. Put in bowl, pour in a bottle of seasoned rice vinegar and dilute with water to taste.
AUNT DEE & AUNT LETA: To drain cucumbers, place hand over cucumbers, tip the bowl over the sink and quickly flip cucumbers back into the bowl. Take a rounded serving tablespoon of mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (your preference) and blend with the cucumbers. Mayonnaise will combine with the wet cucumbers. Pepper to taste.
AUNT LOIS: Doesn’t care.
AUNT MARCIA: Still working on a variation.
AUNT JEANETTE: Liza and Ellen will have to call, she left early.
Asparagus spears
Butter or olive oil
Garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Clean spears and cut off tough ends. Line broiler pan with foil, melt butter (enough to coat asparagus) in saucepan; add some minced garlic to taste. Place spears in single layer on foil and pour butter over them. Place under broiler. Cook until tender and brownish. You need to keep turning them or they will burn. They will be on the crispier side. You can pick them up like a dill pickle to eat.
