Once upon a time about 17 years ago, I tasted the best potato salad I had ever tasted in my then 13 years of life. My mother, who had lived longer than I, also tasted said potato salad and thought to herself, “I must have this recipe. I will ask the person that made it!” To which the person who made it replied, “no.” The details after that are a little fuzzy, because the recipe for the potato salad was indeed acquired and I’m about to share it with you. So be profoundly grateful, this could have not been the case…had someone/something not said/happened to change that “no” into a “yes.”
