Today I am making potato salad for a cookout tomorrow at my oldest daughter's house, which is ironic, because I don't like potato salad in general. I make one that's pretty good and is more of a mustardy, vinegary style potato salad as opposed to those with more of a mayonnaise or salad dressing style (the latter which I detest). It was requested, so I will make it, and I have everything on hand to do so. If I didn't make it someone would bring something purchased at the grocery store, which is usually not very good. Also making a Dutch apple crumb pie to take.

Is that some sort of UK lingo that I don't know? I think cheese sounds pretty good, but chalk?

It’s common around here. When talking about two people who were very different, she’d say something like, “Them two’s like chalk and cheese!”

She’d also say it about two people who didn’t get along or fought all the time.

Yeah, just a new one to me. I think we just said "cats and dogs" in my house.

I think it’s a UK thing?

It was common in my house too.

Dad was born in 1932 and there were a lot of “10 pound poms” coming here during his younger life.

Main event: Steak Frites (DH had never heard of this nor eaten it before meeting me :thankyou:you're welcome!)
Mine is to the left with a small dish of homemade Japanese-style Tartar Sauce for Frites dippin' and my Steak is Mid-Rare
DH's is Medium (a bit more) and freshly ground Black Pepper along with the mandatory Sea Salt on his Fries/Chips/Frites.
 
Currently in Canberra treating myself to some unneeded wool for projects I'll likely be too busy to knit until the autumn. So that necessitated eating out.

A potato and onion burek. Turkish in origin, this one has a lightly spiced kick to it.

Followed by a very squashed vegan chocolate chip brownie.

Just by the looks of that I know that I've had this somewhere before and was tasty!
My Father was very adventurism with food, where as Mom, meh, not so much. She was more the "boiled dinner" type.
