Dansk kartoffelsalat - Danish potato salad

Backstory is that B wanted to try some radishes so we had them in the fridge. When I saw a 1974 version of this classic salad that used radishes, I let it inspire me.
I especially appreciated that there was very little mayo and the herb infused vinegar give the potatoes a fresh, tangy taste.

Boil in salted water, until soft
1 lb new red potatoes cubed or l large red potato cubed (it's ok if it a bit more than 1 pound)
Drain and immediately combine with dressing, the hot potatoes soaks up the flavor better.
- see dressing instruction below

Meanwhile, make 2 just hard boiled eggs and chill them in ice water.

Dressing:
Separately combine and let sit about 10 minutes
1 t garlic, minced or crushed
2 T canola oil
In another bowl, combine
1/4 c white wine vinegar
1 t salt
1 t sugar
1/2 t dill
1/2 t tarragon
1/2 t parsley
Add to garlic oil to make dressing,
Pour this dressing over the hot potatoes and chill immediately.

While the potatoes are chilling, prepare
3 large radishes, sliced thinly

When potatoes are sufficiently cooled, add
1/4 c mayonnaise
Fold gently then combine with the cooled
2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and cubed
and the sliced radishes.
Taste and add more herbs if desired.

Chill until serving.

Nicola's Fisk

Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked! [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.] Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide. Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese. {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent] Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Spiced pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Now that it is officially Fall, it's time for pumpkin cookies again :) Dad's pumpkin cookies are delicious. Best way to describe the difference between them is that these are more spice than pumpkin. I like them both but sometimes prefer this spice version. I don't like using prepared pumpkin pie spice, it seems to change the flavor for me (I wonder if it's the amount of cloves?). This recipe hits the spice just right but of course alter as you like, it can take even handle more or less chocolate chips in it, or none at all. In medium mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients together: 2 c flour 2 t baking powder 3/4 t baking soda 1 1/2 - 2 t cinnamon 1/2 t ginger 1/2 t nutmeg 1/8 t cloves 1/2 t salt In small mixing bowl beat together : 1/2 c sugar 1/2 c brown sugar, packed 1/2 canola oil 1 egg 1 t vanilla paste Then add: 240g pumpkin purée, ( about a small can if not using fresh) When blended well, add the pumpkin mix into the the dry mixture. Barely blend the two ...
