Bean Salad

This was always a holiday standard with my dad's family. His father cooked two things: BBQ chicken, and bean salad.

Bean Salad

1 can (15 oz.) red beans
1 jar (10 oz.) olives, sliced
3 T. sweet pickle relish –OR- 6 to 8 sweet pickles, diced
1/2 a small onion, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1/4 c. mayo (NOT Miracle Whip)
1/4 c. milk
Optional: 1 small green pepper, diced

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl; chill for an hour.

Flapophobia

Hi, my name is Goldie, and I have a fear of licking envelopes.

I just sent a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation (NOTE: this is not a political statement) and as I raised the envelope towards my mouth...I *freaked*...and then spit on my finger to rub and seal the flap.

Not sure what the problem is. Just can't bring myself to put my tongue on that flap. EVER.

LOL...maybe it's Seinfeld's fault?!
