"ELDERLY"....???? AND SUMMER SALAD DRESSING

Okay, have given this some thought. It has been so hot here in Oklahoma this last month, almost unbearable. With all of the weeks and weeks of rain we had and then suddenly in the high 90's everyday, our heat index has been 118, 116, etc! The air is so heavy its hard to even breath outside. The Government issued warnings that the elderly should stay inside. I thought,  "Yes, of course they should" and then........suddenly......I thought, "Oh, I am an elderly!" Wow, that is hard to except. Elderly have always been those old people with grey hair, canes, old lady black shoes and polyester pants. Is that me? How did this happen? Well, first of all......its not me.......If I ever wear polyester pants please someone put me out to pasture. I still live in my levis, flip flops and t shirts. But, I realize I do have some of those "elderly" tendencies. Now, some people may call this a rut, I call it a routine. I wake up very early, doesn't matter what time I go to bed, I'm up usually before the sun. I have exactly two cups of coffee on the patio while I look through my tablet. First I look at the weather, then local news, then national news, then my emails and last Face Book. I then feed the dogs and I have a bowl of oatmeal, that I have done for 20 years, no sugar just oatmeal and whole milk. My Mexican Doctor told me to do that and I'd never have high cholesterol, he was right.
I then survey my yard, front and back and finally get cleaned up and ready for the day. Do you think this is "elderly"? I guess it is. Do you feel elderly? Do you have a routine? Okay now on to this delightful salad dressing. In the summer, well, actually most of the time I prefer a vinegar/lemon dressing but now and then I get hungry for a creamy dressing. I just love this one.........make enough to store in the frig for awhile.
Not sure if it has a name or if I made it up or where it really came from.
1 cup of Mayo
2 Tblsp Chili Sauce ( I use Sriracha)
1 Tblsp Ketchup
1 Tblsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tblsp A-1
So good......also excellent on Corn on the Cob and Fruit Salads
Enjoy! AND if I stay inside.........whose going to mow this acre?
Oh, and if you like my blog enough to share, please do. Thanks.

  1. Yep--I think we can be classdified as "elderly" and some days I even feel like that . . . those are the days I'm glad I have old yearbooks, fun Facebook sites like Greybull memories, and all the goings-on of those of us who are still just as crazy as ever. The salad dressing sounds yummy--it's on my to-make list for Sunday dinner. (((HUGS)))

  2. Just stirred this up. Had some on salad and think it would be great on cole slaw, also. Looking forward to your next post.
