Thanks for your kind comment and I hope that you have a wonderful day. Dottie :)

DeleteHi Dottie!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that you made corn salad yesterday and I made something like corn salad tonight! I may even share it on Sunday for Fried Chicken Day!
Your corn salad looks so much prettier than mine. I really should "kick" mine up a bit. Of course, I would never say no to anything with strawberries in it especially a Mojito!
Thanks for sharing, Dottie...
Good Evening Louise, Thank you for visiting tonight! Don't you just love it? I could eat that type of salad all the time. Glad you had something like it tonight. What a great idea to add that will your chicken for Fried Chicken Day...Thanks for your comment, I would kick it up anyway you want to. You can always add or subtract whatever you or the family like. I love olives so I usually add olives to mine. But that is optional. Yes, you are correct who could say no to that strawberry Mojito? "Cheers" Looking forward to your post on Sunday...
DeleteBTW: Just want to thank you again, for your organizing "The Picnic". I had such fun looking at everyone dish and leaving comments, and I was thrilled by all the people that have become now my new "Food Blog friends." Your hard work payed off and I now can't wait for next years game. Thanks for including me in this years game.
Blessings on your night and have a great July 4th weekend! :) Dottie Say hello to Marion for me!
