Plus, don't you want to make your grandma's potato salad? I make my grandma's potato salad. It's awesome. Could I go to foodnetwork.com and fool around until I make a "better" one? Probably.
But that's not the damn point, is it? The point is that I make my grandma's potato salad. It's just the way she made it and I make it that way too. When I serve it to guests, I tell them it's grandma's potato salad and that always gets a lot of smiles. I'm keeping her alive and serving delicious food at the same time.
She's possibly the most critical person I've ever known and gets upset when anything is done differently than she would do it to the point it gives me anxiety.
:shrug-outta-hecks: It's fine. I kinda accept it at this point, like you know how they say you're your own worst critic? No. Your worst critic is grandma, and that she would have done it while working 3 jobs and raising several children. She has an almost pathological need to let you know that her sense of smell, hearing, how to use a yard blower, are simply superior to other people.
Well grandma is right. Olives?!?

Oh...I kind of assumed that you felt about your grandma the same way I feel about my grandma. I guess that was unwarranted.
