Nothing specialā¦itās the IDEA that macaroni salad spells the beginning of spring rather than the actual salad. More tradition than anything else. I just boil up the salad macaroni, rinse, drain, and set it aside to cool. While that is cooling, I chop up celery, cucumber, tomatoes, and green onions. We like the veg cut into decent sized chunks rather than minuscule piecesā¦.if Iām biting into something I want to be able to identify it! Then I cube up about a 2 inch slab of Velveeta into about 1/2 pieces. The dressing is Miracle Whip, salt and pepper. Sometimes I thaw, drain and dry those little salad shrimp to put in it too, but i either forget half the time or just donāt feel like it. Thatās how the kids like it, but I don't think the leftover salad tastes right after a day or so with the shrimpā¦it gets an āoffā taste. . When I make it, I make the giantest green Tupperware bowl full. The kids each take some home for the next day, Ken and I keep the rest and snack on it or add it to the rest of the leftovers for dinner the next night. Thatās itā¦.nothing fancy, some good old fresh stuff along with some processed stuff, and everybodyās happy!
A feast!!! Weāre doing ham, homemade brioche buns, macaroni salad, baked taters for Kendra and Tam (who wonāt eat the salad), baked beansā¦.reminds me, I gotta get the beans soaking!ā¦ā¦corn and a spice cake.
Iām glad they changed their minds too. Kendraās been kinda crabby the last few days so maybe an outing is just what she needs. Weāll eat a little earlier than usual so if she is really unhappy, the kids will at least get to eat before they take her home.
Thanks for catching that typo, Bruce. I fixed it!
