Dutch Mess... You're Going to have to Trust Me.

This is a summer favorite for my family... I don't know if it's Dutch, but it does look like a mess.  Ben is allowed to be part of the family - he loves it too.

1lb bacon, cut into chunks
apple cider vinegar, to taste (don't be shy - I start at at least 1/4c)
1 head lettuce
1 green onion, chopped
6 potatoes, cubed and boiled
2 hard boiled eggs


1) Start the potatoes and eggs boiling (hard boiled eggs: put eggs in cold water, place on stove, wait for water to come to a boil, boil 5 min, and voila!).
2) Fry the bacon, remove the bacon from the grease and put on a paper towel.  Set aside.
3) Add apple cider vinegar to the warm bacon grease.  Place lettuce in a big bowl and pour the bacon grease and apple cider vinegar over it (TRUST ME!)
4) After the potatoes fall apart when you stick a fork in them, make mashed potatoes (add 2T butter, salt, pepper, and 1/4-1/2c. milk).
5) Slice the eggs.
6) Mix all of the ingredients.  Taste... add vinegar if you can't sense the tang of it, and salt and pepper to taste.

...and no pictures, because we still have no camera.  Boo.  Hiss.  I have my sights on a shock-proof, water-proof, and freeze-proof Nikon (for those of you who didn't know, I dropped a digital camera off our car as we were going into Yellowstone National Park last August, and I dropped our replacement camera into a stream in Kenya... at least I dropped it because I was out doing something and not simply becuase I am my clumsy self (though I'm sure that plays into it)).
