Special Event

One of the ultimate "comfort foods" is Potato Salad. This one is an updated version of the recipe my and your Grandmother or Mother probably made. No picnic or reunion in a grove would be complete without a tasty potato salad. This one has some cayenne to give it some heat but if you like a milder version, cut the amount or leave it out. The potato salad I remember mother always made had dry mustard in it, and so does this recipe.

Preparation is very important in making this dish. Too much mixing will round off the corners and cause the cubes to turn into a mashed potato mix, which is not what you want. Another way to prevent this is to slightly undercook the potatoes so the cubes will be more sturdy.

Since mayonnaise has been the culprit in food bacterial problems, it's a good idea to keep the potato salad cool rather than let it sit out on a hot day. This recipe will feed 4-6 people, so if you are feeding fewer than this, cut the recipe in half if need be. This will avoid the "leftover" problem and thus eliminate the growth of bacteria in the salad.

Ingredients

3 cups potatoes, diced 1/4 inch

1 medium onion, diced fine

1 cup celery, diced fine

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 cp spicy mayonnaise (see recipe below)

2 eggs, hard cooked

Instructions

1 - Cook potatoes with skin on, cool, peel, then dice to 1/4 inch

2 - Add celery and onions to potatoes, blending carefully to avoid mashing the potato.

3 - Pour olive oil over the potato mixture.

4 - Allow the mixture to stand over 1 hour in the refrigerator.

5 - When ready to serve, mix the "Spicy Mayonnaise" and fold into the potato mixture.

6 - Slice the peeled boiled eggs very thin and use as a garnish.

Spicy Mayonnaise Dressing

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1 tsp vinegar

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Mix ingredients together and use mixture as directed above. If you wish to add a little more color, and a little different flavor, add some chopped up bell peppers, pimento, chives, or green onion slices.

This recipe makes a very delicious addition to any backyard barbecue, family reunion, or just as a side dish at supper time.

Event $16.44 Mining his own experience as a former Special Operative in the military, author David Lynn Goleman creates a riveting debut novel of Roswell revisited in EVENT. Major Jack Collins has been selected to work in the Event Group--a top secret government organization responsible for recovering ancient artifacts and then uncovering their actual meaning and purpose throughout history. When the Group is suddenly called upon to investigate an occurrence in Roswell, New Mexico that is eerily similar to the 1947 incident, they encounter two otherworldly beings--one of which is highly intelligent and benign, and another that is extremely powerful and out to destroy all of mankind. With conspiracy theories galore and major showdown battles in the desert, EVENT is an apocalyptic thriller that will likely prove a must-read for "X-files" devotees and UFO enthusiasts.

Event Horizon - Widescreen Collector's Special $7.99 In this sci-fi/horror scarefest, Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill) is a scientist who has designed a spacecraft called Event Horizon which will explore the outer reaches of space past the planet Neptune; the ship employs a special transport mechanism that, in effect, creates a black hole that the ship can pass through, allowing it to travel tremendous distances in a few seconds. The Event Horizon mysteriously disappears in the midst of a mission with no trace of either the ship or its crew, but it reappears in Neptune's orbit after a seven year absence and it's sending out a distress signal. The spaceship Lewis and Clark, and Dr. Weir, are sent to investigate; the crew -- Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne), pilot Smith (Sean Pertwee), engineer Justin (Jack Noseworthy), navigator Starck (Joely Richardson), physician D.J. (Jason Isaacs), and emergency technicians Peters (Kathleen Quinlan) and Cooper (Richard T. Jones) -- are already tired and unenthusiastic about this assignment, and somewhat confused by Weir's reports. The crew of the Lewis and Clark are convinced that Weir is not telling them something, and when they discover the Event Horizon, they find that things are not what they seem, and an evil presence has taken over the ship. Incidentally, the term "event horizon" describes the outer boundaries of a black hole. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Event Planning Ethics and Etiquette: A Principled Approach to the Business of Special Event Management $27.85 The world of event planning can be alluring and dangerous at once-exotic locales, wining and dining, and people traveling without their spouses. In such situations the line between business and pleasure blurs and the nature of relationships gets cloudy. With a thoughtless act or a less-than-tactful word, long-lasting business relationships can be ruined forever. Beyond that, budgets are on the chopping block and competition for business is tight. In that environment, people often cut not just financial corners, but the ethical ones, too. There’s a fine line between innocent perks and inappropriate gifts or kickbacks. Event planners today must navigate a minefield of potentially sticky situations that can easily blow up in their face. Without a professional code, lines of acceptable behavior are easily crossed. And what you do personally can hurt you professionally. "Event Planning Ethics and Etiquette" provides event planners with the companion they need to stay out of trouble, keep professional relationships healthy and profitable, avoid the riskier temptations of the lifestyle, and win business in a highly competitive market using ethical business practices. Explains how to establish policies and codes of behavior, in the office and onsite at events. Offers guidelines on when it is acceptable to accept a gift, what is acceptable, and what is inappropriate. Shows how to prepare yourself, as well as your staff, for what to expect, and how to handle the unexpected with business finesse. Covers business etiquette in event planning crisis management situations. Helps you to avoid putting yourself and your company at personal and professionals risk. Features real-life examples and situations, and advice on how to handle them with poise and professionalism. Includes a list of “Event Planning Do’s and Don’ts.” "Event Planning Ethics and Etiquette" will be of value to the professional event planner; to event planning suppliers and clients working with industry professionals; as well as to those in related fields, such as public relations, administrative professionals, communications; and anyone in the hospitality, culinary, and travel industry.
