Crab Salad

What is it that makes me want to feed people?

I love housefuls of people happily eating.

It's probably from my mother who has so lovingly fed so many over the years.

If someone isn't eating at my house I almost don't know what to do.

Maybe it's a Minnesota thing.

Maybe it's a Northern Minnesota thing.

Maybe it's a Finn thing.

Whatever it is, I enjoy it.

I do have a problem with little luncheon things.

I don't do those because I don't know how.

Guys filling plates with food. I got that down.

Thursday I was preparing to have a houseful over in the evening and chatting on the phone 

while I was preparing to cook my pasta for salad.

Renae (who I hadn't talked to in absolutely ages!) said Kevin had asked for my salad recently.

Occasionally I try brew up something else, but I really do love this one ...

enough that I'm sharing it.
