3 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces. 3 celery stalks, chopped (with leafy tops) In a large pot, submerge the potatoes in cold water (at least 1 inch over the potatoes). Add a teaspoon of kosher salt. Cover and bring the water to a boil, then remove lid and cook the potatoes over medium heat until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a knife, about 12 to 15 minutes. (If your potato piece cracks apart or your knife slides straight through, it's overcooked. Also remember, the potatoes will continue to cook out of the boiled water for a while). Then, drain the potatoes and let them cool for at least 30 minutes, or until it comes to room temperature.

While I was only a kid in the '90s, I do have (she's going to love me for writing this) a very stylish mum. So, growing up, I always got to see so many different trends. And mum's love of clothes and shopping definitely played a huge part in why I wanted to work in fashion. I've lost count of the times mum says "I used to wear (insert trend here) back in (insert decade here)." And now in my 30s, I finally understand what it feels like to see trends you've once worn come back around. Just look at capri pants––or as they'll always be known to me 'pedal pushers'––for example. These were more of a Y2K thing, and I may not be able to say I wore certain '90s trends, but I definitely can still spot them a mile off––mainly from trying on all of my mum's favourite bags and heels.

Growing up, I’ll admit, I was tuna-salad-averse. The tuna salad of my childhood was heavy on the mayo, full of unexpected chunks of celery, and light on salt. As an adult, however (with a seemingly endless need to incorporate protein into my diet), I found myself returning to that once-feared, now-beloved canned fish.
